Russian Z-bloggers are losing faith in the offensive and winning the war
Russian Z-bloggers are losing faith in a successful offensive after the failed battle near Vuhledar, where 2 elite brigades of marines were destroyed with a hundred pieces of military equipment. 1/5
Terrorist and Former Defense Minister of the so-called DPR Igor Girkin believes there is no chance for Russia to win the war with the current leadership.
"We were winning it at first and had a good chance to win it, but now we are losing and retreating," Girkin says. 2/5
Colonel and Vostok battalion commander Aleksandr Khodakovsky, who attacked near Vuhledar, advised the army to stop: "I said and continue to believe so, that it is now more optimal to act from defense in the held lines, accumulating and preparing the potential for offensive." 3/5
Vladlen Tatarsky, a Kremlin war correspondent, also criticized the course of the offensive: "Our advance is not enough for victory - it is not an occupation of some hills. Victories are achieved by breaking through the front... There is advance, but it is not for victory." 4/5
Against the background of the failure of offensive of General Gerasimov, internal conflicts are flaring up.
Artillerymen of the Wagner PMC reported that the Defense Ministry "completely cut off [them] from the supply of ammunition" for howitzers, tanks and mortars. 5/5
As the icing on the cake, here is a video of the terrorist Girkin demonstrating the "stage of acceptance" of the fact that the Russian war against Ukraine will be lost and he will face an international tribunal in The Hague.
