π§΅1372+ hrs since #Ukrainian Patriotic War of Independence was started by #Russia full scale attack & 2983? days since #RussiaInvadedUkraine
Situation remains very serious, can't really write much on that because it's war, the exact picture at this moment is not clear.

Yet #Donbas bulge can indeed be compared to #Kursk bulge of #WW2 when #Nazis of 1940s much like todays too couldn't afford to wait longer and launched offensive against fortified front.
It's clear though that #Russian fascists inevitably suffer losses, it's natural, but it will be several tense weeks.
Strategically though, regardless of the outcome of the offensive, p*tin's lost long ago, he won't get new vassal, whatever he tries to take won't cover his losses

While losing his war p*tin continues to wage Russian war of genocide of Ukrainians, destroying our cities, killing civilians. He tries to take territories, but also destroys everything on them, while Russia, albeit too slow, gets isolated. Pointless and brutal mass murder.
World *noticed* Bucha early April (even though the reports of atrocities came since the beginning of March), I'm terrified to think what Russians are doing in South... There too we know of terror, hunting down people by the kill lists, yet people still oppose occupation bravely
But Mariupol hurts terribly, Russians destroyed the city. It was somewhat a capital of Donbas region after Russians seized Donetsk in 2014 and showcased basically freedom in stark contrast to totalitarian Russian mafia state occupation of Donetsk. Russians simply murdered its ppl
As for #Mariupol, Russians declared a 'victory' there even though Azovstal wasn't conquered. The forces that Russians were using in the city are getting redeployed to be used in other areas of offensive against Ukraine, so it's rather forced by losses & lack of success elsewhere
Recent footage from #Mariupol also showed tanks and other marked both with "V" and "Z" letters - showing that assault group was recently reinforced by forces Russians pulled back from Kyiv, indicating the amount of losses Russians suffered while trying to conquer the city.
These V-marked reinforcements to #Mariupol from north are valuable to #putin bc they are afraid to surrender after world & UAF saw what the massacre they perpetrated in #Bucha. Now they're pulled back from Marik and redeployed as Russian offensive is apparently not as successful
But all that doesn't change the fact that it's hell in Mariupol, thousands of civilians killed, people were starving, thirsting to death in suffering under Russian bombardments, many survivors were abducted, forced into Russian filtration camps and taken somewhere in Russia.
Heroes of Mariupol have been not only binding overwhelming Russian forces for almost 2 months but also inflicting heavy losses on them. As Russians admit they had to use poorly armed infantry martyrs to draw out Ukrainian fire and detect sniper positions to use tanks against them
But those tanks burnt too. Not only Mariupol heroes have been valiantly defending the people and city, outnumbered and overwhelmed by Russians, shelled with all guns, bombed with even strategic bombers, they've been allowing entire front to prepare for Russian offensive
And now, apparently as the offensive stalls in the eyes of Russians (who otherwise were previously committed to continue full scale attacks in Mariupol) they need to use the forces elsewhere. But, failing to conquer Mariupol they still destroyed it.
I'm not sure people understand what our entire nation feels. Every morning going to bed and waking up with pain for Mariupol. I cannot pick words to write about it and much more should be written.
Mariupol is destroyed, thousands of civilians killed, yet it's still unconquered, people are still blocked, Russians will keep shelling, situation is terrible but Russians were FORCED to cease their attempts to conquer the city completely by problems with offensive elsewhere.
As Russians suddenly declared 'victory' in destroyed but unconquered #Mariupol, despite previous vows to cleanse it completely (showing Kadyrov's tiktokers much 2 the 'delight' of Russians who did the actual fighting) so p*tin can call any defeat a victory and Russia will believe
And it's not new really, #putin has declared victories in #Syria several times and #Russians believed, even though the "victories" were followed with more losses, it's now in #Mariupol where #Russians were forced to abandon attempts to cleanse the city to use the forces elsewhere
When #russian criminal culture calls them to attempt to intimidate #EU by whining "you reaize Russia MUST have a victory... Make Ukraine surrender" - it's p*tin's job to declare whatever he has a victory. #Russians will accept anything, because they live in a totalitarian state
But putin choses to continue the war of genocide. He's lost his war, he's waging Russian war to if not exterminate Ukrainians (probably will fail at that) then to at least cause max damage and deaths, which, however bring him only losses and no profits whatsoever.
A lot of emotions, fears, concerns, hopes, no point in writing that. With enough tanks, serious AA gear, CAS aviation and fighters it would be even possible to militarily save Mariupol garrison and remaining civilians. But that's a long hard road. Must repel Russian onslaught 1st
And it appears the preferred strategy is to avoid the bloody assaults of our own and rather to create the situations when Russians have no choice but to retreat on their own, like it was in Kyiv where large scale urban fights to liberate our towns were mostly avoided
Idk I just write something, too much and without a point. Just writing these posts daily since the start of the war. Though there isn't much to say really. Mariupol hurts, situation is serious, gonna be tense weeks ahead.
On #putin's strategic defeat: he needed to incorporate #Ukraine into his mafia state to prolong the agony and prevent mafia infighting, #Russian officials (mafia subbosses in fact) are butchered with their entire families in weird series of 'suicides' as mafia war started.
