Putin's veneer as the undisputed ruler and master of Russia has taken a hit, as a rather large and powerful military force (of mostly Russians) was less than 125 miles from his capital, they were staging a coup and he had to go into hiding before a deal could be struck.Just a matter of time until someone takes him out, and not to lunch 🙂
Ukraine says it is advancing near eastern city of Bakhmut
Ukraine said on Friday its troops had advanced by more than a kilometre near the eastern city of Bakhmut in the past day of fighting against Russian forces.
The comments were the latest by Kyiv signalling that the counteroffensive it launched in early June is gradually making progress although Russian accounts of fighting in the Bakhmut sector differ from Ukraine's. -snip
Just a matter of time until Ukraine retakes Bakhmut, Russia's symbolic victory that the Wagner Group had to capture for them.

With their own money and resources.
Meanwhile Ukraine lives at the pleasure of powers currently gearing up for the long war with China. The funding will run out for Ukraine, period.
Independently confirmed losses.

cdtm's regurgitating a US Far-Right talking point that all the Republican Presidential hopefuls are spouting in some manner. That'll they'll end the aid to Ukraine because the money is needed to fight China.
What Putin is praying for, Biden loses in 2024 and the new Republican president does him a solid favor by abandoning Ukraine.
Reality: there's money for both. The Biden admin is doing it.
How many Russians have died in Ukraine? Data shows what Moscow hides -APNews
BRUSSELS (AP) — Nearly 50,000 Russian men have died in the war in Ukraine, according to the first independent statistical analysis of Russia’s war dead.
Two independent Russian media outlets, Mediazona and Meduza, working with a data scientist from Germany’s Tübingen University, used Russian government data to shed light on one of Moscow’s closest-held secrets — the true human cost of its invasion of Ukraine.
To do so, they relied on a statistical concept popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic called excess mortality. Drawing on inheritance records and official mortality data, they estimated how many more men under age 50 died between February 2022 and May 2023 than normal. -snip
Number is probably even much higher. Putin needs to keeps Russians blind to the blood they're losing.
Real talk time.
Is Russia's act of aggression a humanitarian crisis? Or isn't it?
Because the way I see it they attacked a sovereign nation for no good reason. That Isn't war, it's ****ing rape.
So please tell me WHY we don't just end them? The Untied States Military could easily stop them in 10 minutes.
What, is it the nukes? If Vlad is that crazy he'd use them no matter what. Not an excuse.
Is it because of NAtO affiliations? Russia is murdering people, **** GEOPOLITICS.
If Nazi Germany rose from the ashes and suddenly attacked a non NATO country, I suppose we'd just let it happen?
Biden will not back Ukraine's bid for NATO because of the "war".
If Russia was not violating their sovereignty in a land grab and murdering civilians, we could have inducted them and directly protected them. They need to not be pillaged to qualify for protection.
That's like saying a guy gets shot, and the ER turns them away because they didn't qualify for auto insurance before being shot.
