Ukraine -Russia Update
A bit of an Update on Ukraine -Russia War since my last post.
Since my last post Putin has addressed his manpower shortages by calling for a partial mobilization of 300,000 reserves.
It is assumed the 300k partially mobilized troops are going to be deployed to Ukraine. But if Russia has in fact deployed only a fraction of it's regular armed forces to Ukraine (15-20%) - why would these mobilized reserves not be sent to backfill and support sending regular forces versus actually deploying them to Ukraine?
In any event, these are not new conscripts. They have all served in the military before. Its like in Iraq in 2005-2006 we called up Reserves. This is only a fraction of Russias reserves.
The Referendums are done and soon to be ratified. Acceptance of the Donetsk People's Republic , Luhansk People's Republic, Kherson Oblast and Zaporizhzhia Oblast to the Russian Federation will no doubt result in moving the Special Military Operation to something more serious which presumably allow Russia to adopt a more aggressive and urgent posture instead of treating this as a Live Exercise
Donetsk still stands despite the lack of adequate forces but more ground has been loss, this time in the Donbass. Supposedly after 15,000 Ukrainians troops were stalled for 3 weeks by 5,000 allied Russian troops (mostly DPR and maybe Wagner troops) Liman (aka Lyman or Krasny Liman) has now fallen.
And Donetsk is still being shelled daily with civilian casualties
Here is how it transpired
The contingent of the Russian allies around Krasny Liman at 4,000 to 5,000 men and the enemy’s contingent in the immediate vicinity of the city alone at around 12,000 men.
Russian troops are threatened with encirclement by a group of no fewer than 20,000 men – practically an army corps.”

If the AFU succeed, their advance will destroy Russian defences in the northern Donbass region. As a result, Russian-led forces may abandon the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk agglomeration.
Liman is an important railway junction. Liman was seized following a battle for the city by Russian troops on 27 May
As bad as losing Limam is, abandoning the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk agglomeration is far worse if that should happen.
Territory fought for in April great cost and taken control of in June and July
The Battle of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk was a key battle in the liberation of the Lugansk Peoples Republic from NATO and the fascist Maidan regime oppression during the 2022 Special Military Operation conducted on the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
On April 18, 2022 the NATO-controlled Ukrainian General Staff reported the number of Russian forces deployed to the Donbass were 70,000, however Pentagon disinformation specialists lowered the estimate to 60,000 so as not to demoralize Ukrainian troops and the public.
On April 20, 2022 AFU pulled out of Ribezhnoe (pop. 55,000) and commenced an organized withdrawal from Severodonetsk across the Severskii Donets river into Lisichansk (pop. 95,000). The AFU launched another Tochka-U missile armed with cluster munitions against the civilian population of Donbas, killing 5 people including one child.
As Russian forces swept through the rural areas of Donbas, it was easy to find where the retreating AFU soldiers had established bases in villages - usually without exception in the local school building.[5] Resistance in Popasna (pop. 20,000) was unexpectedly fierce with street to street fighting using linked underground trenches between most civilian houses. Chechen fighters and the Wagner Group[6] took part in the fighting.[7]
By April 29, 2022 the daily reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense noted that Ukraine was losing several hundred soldiers and some 30 armored vehicles daily, mostly to artillery. A flood of gruesome pictures posted on Telegram by both sides confirmed this. Several Ukrainian attempts to counterattack Russian forces failed. Western propagandists for the first time noted that their side was losing.[8]
On April 30, 2022 it was reported that over 70% of buildings in Severodonetsk were hit by artillery strikes.

MOSCOW, June 7. /TASS/. Donbass forces supported by Russian troops have almost completely mopped up Severodonetsk, fighting is going on in the suburbs of Lisichansk, the Lugansk People’s Republic’s (LPR) ambassador said on Tuesday.
"Severodonetsk and its residential areas have been freed and mopped up by the allied forces," Rodion Miroshnik said in a Telegram post. "Ukrainian forces have also been almost completely driven out of the city’s industrial zone and forced into Azot" chemical plant.
The village of Sirotino on the outskirts of Severodonetsk is a "grey zone", according to Miroshnik. The village of Metelkino is almost completely controlled by Donbass and Russian troops. Ukrainians have dug in at the airport in the southeast of the Severdonetsk. "They have occupied a number of buildings and are firing artillery shells to the east. The allied forces are reciprocating from positions near Borovsky," the diplomat said.
Heavy shelling is heard near Lisichansk. The outskirts and the center of the city are engulfed by fires, he said. Ukraine has sent criminals and deserters released from jail to defend the city, according to Miroshnik.

July
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated his military and pro-Russian militias for his victory in Lugansk, where the day before they took control of Lisichansk, the last Ukrainian stronghold in that region.
"The units that took an active part in the fighting and achieved successes in the Luhansk direction should certainly rest to increase their fighting ability," Putin said at a meeting with Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.
After asking Shoigu to present the list of those who distinguished themselves in the combats in order to decorate them, the Russian president stressed that the West and East troop groups must fulfill their tasks according to the established plans.
"And I am confident that in the other directions the same thing will happen as has happened in the Lugansk direction so far," Putin said to emphasize what he expects of his troops.

Regardless of what territory is lost it will have to be recovered, and it will come at a high cost.
Meanwhile some English Speaking dude near Liman is pretty happy
Here is what Russell Texas Bentley in Donetsk has to say about events.
Krasny Liman has fallen. Some idiots and liars say and believe there was "an orderly retreat". Bullshit. The nazis blew the last bridge out of town and so any of our soldiers and civilians who are still left in Krasney Liman will have to walk out, there is no way to go by vehicle now. And I must make a small correction - they will first have to SWIM across the river, and THEN walk, down "The Road of Life", which is now, being under ukrop observation and "fire control" (i.e., "constant shelling"), more aptly called "The Road of Death". Idiots who think this is a "minor setback" are just that, idiots, on the level of the "Q" dipshits in the uSA who make posts about Trump coming back to take the Presidency or Obama and the Clintons already being in Gitmo. Idiots.
The loss of Krasney Liman is a failure with strategic ramifications
The dude actually blocked me on Telegram a couple of months ago for being critical of Russias approach
Some will say Liman has little strategic importance so no big deal. Thats like the US saying Bangor, Maine has no strategic importance so let the Canadians take it. You sacrificed many troops to take it in the first place and now its going to be a part of your country and god knows what happens to those left behind. Now you have to take it back against a better equipped and more experienced Army.
Remember, this War (SMO) started with a primary objective to liberate the Donbass over 7 months ago, and now you let parts of the Donbass you spent months liberating become unliberated?
I said it before and I will say it again. Putins a fraud and a Trojan Horse for the Globalists , keeping in mind there are more than one faction of the Globalists but they are all on board with the WEF Agenda for you to own nothing.
This is all looking like a well coordinated operation to cull Slavs and take down Europe/UK. Once the EU/UK economy is demolished they will direct their attention to the US. The Globalists are loyal to no nation. They consider themselves Planetary Citizens, a status obtained by invitation only and us Serfs aren’t invited.
