  1. ❄ weather is playing a big role now. With visibility and equipment problems. It is hard to coordinate troops or to target older weapons. The ground is frozen in the north for tracked heavy equipment like tanks off road. Temperatures remain below freezing. There is no evidence of a missile ‘strike on Krematorsk that killed 600 ZSU’ Armed Forces Ukraine soldat. Perhap a ploy to counter the actual similar strike they took january 1st at Makiivka 🤔.

    1. Fake victories for a gullible domestic audience in Russia , acting like cheerleaders of this war. Russian army has victories every day, as need more cannon fodder and support from the population .
      Same category was the attack on the Ice Skating Arena in Druzhivka, on 1st , after Makiidvka was hit. That was hit while a French reporter was live … Same story as the 4 Himars ‘destroyed’ in same day

    2. FRIENDS, VOLUNTEERS FROM EUROPE, ASIA AND THE USA ❗ UKRAINE REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT IN BAHMUT, SOLEDAR, DONBASS, WE FIGHT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD❗THANK YOU, SLAVA UKRAINE 💙💛

  2. You have videos from both sites to compare levels of destruction – in Makeevka the whole building was destroyed to the foundation whereas in Kramatorsk the rocket hit outside of the building and broke only windows.

    1. @BadazzBarbieTV sweety im not pro russian ok to remind yahh. Just cant stand western hypocrisy… And double standards.. NATO should send arms to palestine and yemen too..

    1. @LCPL Apiata Afghanistan fell within 100 hours, and spent 20 years being administered by the US.
      The Taliban spent 20 years hiding in the bottom of a cave waiting for the US to leave so they could defeat the Afghan national army.

    2. It’s a stretch to call the leadership in the Kremlin Human. When Ukraine finally succeeds in pushing the Orcs back to the borders of their own country it will be many generations before Ukraine and all the other former Soviet block counties ever trust Russia again.

  3. keeping the flow of military support open to Ukraine, extends the pain, suffering of Putin and the inner circle and it brings misery, stomach ache to Tehran and its international terrorist networks in the middle east

    1. Brain, thanks again for the detailed report – many comments since the intense battles around Sievierodonetsk, suggesting that AFR tactics are holding back and allowing AFU to pour more and more troops into the slaughter – massive AFU attrition – another WAPO article you quoted included a Ukrainian soldier admitting that his group never even saw a Russian soldier, that they were being taking out entirely by stand off fire and that when they switched on their phones they’d be almost immediately targeted by artillery – notably, of late, social media posts from AFU troops have dwindled significantly, suggesting they’ve figured out what AFR did long ago, in proscribing cell-phones in combat zones – this brings into question all the so-called ‘intercepted’ communications from AFR troops to friends and family describing their terrible conditions – and the war propaganda never ends – most recently we hear reports of Russians looting Kherson as they retreated – if there is serious looting, seems more likely it’s done by stay-behind civilians – seriously, if you’re retreating to save your life, are you going to risk it by taking the time to steal a washing machine, and haul it how ?!?! now waiting for the Bucha-redux stories, after SBU arrives and starts interrogating the stay behinds

    2. Mind Begs the Question:
      Deploying Weapons,Mercenaries
      In USA backyard(Cuba) – Security Threat
      In Russias backyard(Ukraine) – not Security Threat?

    3. @Human Beings R Thinking Beings the USA did not send troops to Cuba to change the borders of Cuba and to do regime change in Cuba!
      Russia violated the international laws and norms by sending troops to change the borders of Ukraine and to topple the government of president Zelensky who was duely elected as a legitimate leader of Ukraine

    4. @Human Beings R Thinking Beings
      Like how you try to downplay everything Russia does.
      Deploying Nuclear Weapons (Cuba) security threat Yes
      Sending weapons to Ukraine to defend itself from a Fascist Dictator AFTER they had been invaded, Not even close
      NO weapons or volunteers were in Ukraine before Feb.24, figure it out yet?
      Here’s the deal, Russia tries to put Nukes in Cuba, the US will stop them.
      US puts nukes in Europe, all Putoon can do is cry about it, just like what you’re doing..
      Soon as Finland becomes NATO member, Russia will have Nukes on their doorstep…

    1. @Daniel by CNN follower logic.. Russia is fighting the Spartans 🤣🤣 it’s sad people that don’t even know their own countries history support one of the most corrupt countries in Europe

    2. @Daniel Ukraine is squeaky clean compared to the lies that Moscow has spouted. So I’m logically inclined to believe Ukraine more as according to precedent and history.

  4. This is a U.S. blessing it love’s Ukraine,be proud U.S. your lord and Russias lord is pleased 😢😢😢

  5. Prayers up for all the doctors and helpers out there I feel horrible for y’all but respect it one thousand percent y’all my heros💪🏼❤️💯

    1. @The Realest Feeling doesn’t really help anyone but you, who somehow feel better about yourself

    2. @Whateverandbirthyear …yeah but, disobeying the Messiah can have profound consequences. Namely, you will be tortured in eternal fire forever,..even the most ruthless dictator that ever lived wouldn’t go that far.

    3. @Whateverandbirthyear …I think the sooner these Christians figure things out the better. But if you’re steadfast in your beliefs and prayers, then may I suggest going for the carotid artery. Is much more efficient and has a certain panache.

  6. To a remarkably brave, dignified and resilient people…
    You are constantly in my thoughts, and more practical help is on its way…. I don’t know how, or even when, but I can only say that you WILL ALL get through this.

    1. @Alex Frideres For someone who knows nothing about me or what I know, you seem remarkably unpleasant and dismissive about any natural compassion I have for human suffering. It’s almost as if you’re trying to compensate for your own inadequacies.
      “Meanwhile here I am, fully aware of how stupid this entire war is, and wondering to myself “why are all these people dying?” “. Don’t be such a pompous idiot, Alex. You talk as if you’re the only person who is aware of the tragic consequences and political responsibilities of war. This is a pity, because I generally agree with your assessment on that subject.

    2. @greg hill nothing about your “compassion” is in the right place, you’re still on the “revenge” train instead of the “let’s keep corrupt war mongering governments from culling people in fruitless proxy wars that only benefit members of the government”

      You should be appalled at the actions of the governments of the world, not just “Russia” and by association its people.
      There are no “good guys”

    3. @Alex Frideres You don’t appear to be taking in anything I have said. You’re the only one talking about “good guys” Alex, not me. I never mentioned them. and nor did I make any derogatory remarks about the Russian people.
      You have managed to make this an invalid debate by putting words in my mouth.
      I wish you good fortune and a milder temper.

    1. I heard on CNN no Ukraine soldier has ever died an that they kill 2 million Russian soldiers a day 😮‍💨

  7. It’s hard to know what is going on in a war. I’m hopeful that Ukraine will prevail!!! Praying for you all Ukraine!!🇺🇦🙏💪👍💖🇺🇸

  8. Some of the exercises may need explanation or discussion before starting . For instance ,ACTIVITY SET 14 ,EXERCISE 6 Eve – teasing (PAGE 129). This is an Indian term and people in other countries might not understand it. You can introduce the term and what it means and ask your group to suggest words that describe this situation in their community or society.
