Ukraine has withdrawn from the town of Avdeevka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The town is now in Russian control, giving Russia an advance of 8.6 kilometers control of new territory with an area of 31.75 square meters. The Russian flag has now been raised in that area.
This is a major loss for Ukraine, not only of territory but of lives. Russia says that Ukraine lost over 1,500 service members, 190 in the last day alone. Ukraine is not admitting this, however. Military spokesman Dmytro Lykhoviy said on Thursday that they were just moving troops around to “more advantageous positions.”
Bringing them home would be a “more advantageous position.” These are untrained people who are forced to fight – often under the influence of drugging – to regain land that does not want to be Ukraine and hasn’t for a long time due to the decade-long abuse from the Ukrainian army.
Russia says that it is also making headway in the areas of Krasny Liman, Kherson and Kupyansk. According to Tass, since the special military operation began two years ago, “the Russian forces have destroyed 571 Ukrainian warplanes, 266 helicopters, 12,723 unmanned aerial vehicles, 470 anti-aircraft missile systems, 15,098 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,222 multiple rocket launchers, 8,091 field artillery guns and mortars and 18,801 special military motor vehicles.
But the U.S. still wants to send more!
President Joe Biden is pressing hard to get passed a $60 billion bill that would renew aid to Ukraine. The President told Ukrainian President Zelensky that he’s “confident we’re going to get that money.”
Who is we? Biden and Zelensky? We isn’t Americans, right? No, of course not.
President Biden has been using the death of Russian politician Alexei Navalny to prove his point about fighting Russia. Only Navalny was no hero in Russia and the lies about him are too many to count. We broke down those many, many lies here.
