Ukrainian Bradleys

- Russian forces captured the city of Avdiivka, marking their largest territorial gain in months.
- Ukrainian soldiers in the city were under constant bombardment with far less manpower.
- Several soldiers told WaPo how they narrowly escaped death as they withdrew from Avdiivka.
A Ukrainian soldier recounted to The Washington Post how he witnessed an entire convoy of men being wiped out by Russian artillery as he and his fellow troops were escaping Avdiivka, a city in Ukraine that recently fell to Russian forces.
In late February, Russia took control of Avdiivka, which had a population of about 30,000 people, marking its most significant territorial gain in months.
Ukrainian soldiers posted in the city faced constant bombardment and fended off waves of Russian troops before they were ultimately ordered to withdraw on February 17.
Outmanned and outgunned, seven Ukrainian soldiers spoke to the Post about how they narrowly escaped death as they retreated from Avdiivka.
One 21-year-old soldier, identified only as Major, described being forced to take charge of his unit after only arriving in Avdiivka in the second week of February since there was “nobody more senior left.”
Major told the Post that Russians were “raining down very targeted artillery fire” on his unit while they were defending the evacuation routes.
Then, after his unit had left Avdiivka, the soldier witnessed an entire convoy of men wiped out by artillery.
“It was just a convoy of people. A convoy of the best men ever. And in front of our eyes, this convoy was destroyed by artillery. People of my age, between 20 and 30,” Major told the Post.
Other soldiers recalled the Post encountering brushes with death as they tried to escape the city.
Shved, a 44-year-old marksman who suffered multiple concussions during the war, told the newspaper that a drone hit the vehicle he and three other wounded men were in, giving him another concussion. All the men survived, he said.
The fall of Avdiivka came as US aid for Ukraine, which includes $60 billion, remains in limbo. Biden administration officials have said that more than half of that money would go toward the US defense industrial base.
House Republican lawmakers have so far stalled the passage of the emergency foreign aid bill.
While Ukrainian officials signal urgency for further support, House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that he did not want to “rush” the piece of legislation that was already approved by the Senate on February 13.
Major, the 21-year-old soldier, told the Post that he believed Kyiv could have held on to Avdiivka if it had more resources, including manpower, artillery, and air defense.
“We just needed something to fight with,” he said.
Ukraine is a lost cause. Any more money will just be flushed down the drain. Ukraine cannot win this war. It is impossible for it to do so. They don’t have the manpower, equipment, bullets, and artillery. It is another human disaster which will only get worse if the Americans and others don’t sit down and talk this out.
If we hadn’t given them so much in the first [place the war wouldn’t have happened! I want the Russians to grind your guts into the dirt until you wise up and arrest Zelensky!
Judging by that photo…
the AoZ’s “game changing” Leopard, Abrams & Challenger tanks arent doing to well on the battle-front…. 🤭
Sorry Ukrainians, but you follow a Jew.
So you get what you get, and that includes no pity from me.
Was Lenin a Khazar? Was Stalin a Khazar as some have stated? His mother was a Khazar. Are Zelensky and Nuland Khazars fighting for Ukraine — their Khazar homeland? Did Khazar leaders bring Christian nations to destruction and depopulate them through war, civil conflicts, and poisons? Why?
Paul
Russia is ruled by Yids just like Ukraine. Both are ZWOG-Commie polities. The average Russian is an anti-white Commie nutjob.
Cheer for Whiteocide morons.
burned offerings for JHWH
@ PAUL right!
@HANS SCOTT
they got 8 years from CIA 12 underground bases .
I hope russia finds out + nukes them all !
This is great news, that Nazi sheeple in the NWO Satanic Nazi West will learn about what waits them when they are sent to die on Russian front.
The more dead Nazis, the better, and while some might say they don’t understand, ignorance is no defence in law.
Since 2014, the Eastern UKraine has suffered genocide at the hands of Nazis, and their Nazis backers in the West. This isn’t even difficult to understand.
I’m sure there are plenty of dumb fecks queuing to sign up, and if you’re a Brit, better buy your own body armour and a body bag. Make sure you label the body bag, just in case you’re lucky, and it’s returned to the UK. lol
I don’t know if this is true, but I did hear that Russia produces seven 155mm artillery shells, for every Nazi shell. Yes, that one shell, is the entire Western prodution, so 7 to 1 in Russia’s favor.
Insanity is continuing trying something a person knows is futile. Schneerson correctly predicted, the belligerents in Ukraine would be motivated by nationalistic impulses, or shall we say, illusions of serving their nation when they actually serve their creditor, Samuel, to enter a meat grinder voluntarily. That creditor’s too obvious identity is why America calls their leadership Uncle Sam. Misguided nationalism is evident in the defeated Ukrainian trooper’s insistance they could “win” if only they had the means. That is what Zalushny said at the outset, if only they had more tanks.
But tanks are sitting ducks for drones, missiles, mines, directed artillery and anti armor DU tank rounds from other tanks that set them on fire in a shower of white radioactive sparks. Tanks are like useless aircraft carriers. Both sides have these weapons as a result of the modern arms races, to the point in all arms races of stalemate in ecology, which exactly fits the meat grinder killing slavs that Schneerson the messiah called for.
This Avdiivka is only a few miles past Donetsk, and it has taken the vaunted Russians two years to reach it!
The only good Commie is a tortured dead Commie
Protract the war for years to maximize the most white deaths. The morons can’t figure out that both Zelensky & Putin are working for the same ZWOG Overlords to liquidate whites. Solve et Coagula.
lol, I believe everything “Business Insider” tells me. Honest!
Especially when they mix in (true) horror stories with the baloney
to make the sandwich more palatable..
They lost intentionally and heavily so as to intimidate the neocons for more money for the oligarchs running the sh*t show.
