The Russians are in danger of getting cut off and surrounded if they don’t withdraw.

x Toretsk direction. After initial rumors it is now definitely established based on images that the AFU is busy with a major counterattack in Toretsk. It has already reached the center and is advancing from two sides. The Russians seem to have overstretched their supply lines.

Here’s what Russia has done to Toretsk.

Zelenskyy was in Washington today to meet with Trump and to sign that minerals deal.

He certainly knows how to stroke Trump’s ego.

x ❗️ Zelensky believes Trump won’t stop supporting Ukraine. He stated that if Trump brings peace, he’ll be on the level of George Washington. Trump emphasized the need for compromises and confirmed the U.S. will continue providing weapons, though in limited quantities.

And let me just say that JD Vance is a shitbag.

x "You're not in a good position.. You're gambling with WWIII" Trump tells Zelenskyy 😳 VP J.D.Vance then says to #Ukraine's President "have you said thank you once?" Fair to say tRUmp and his team got a rebuke from Putin overnight for being soft with Starmer & Macron? — Tim White (@twmcltd.bsky.social) February 28, 2025 at 11:32 AM

A Russian soldier fires on Ukrainian troops but is wounded and surrenders.

x During the clearing of Shcherbynivka in Donetsk, scouts of the 1st Special Purpose Battalion "Azov" NGU found an RF soldier in a shed. The occupier opened fire but was wounded and surrendered. Medics provided aid and evacuated the prisoner.

That’s a damn shame about your boat.

When a Russian drone plops onto the hood of your vehicle.

x After such "successful hit", fighters of the 225th Assault Regiment can adjust the route, modify Russian drone and send it back to the enemy.

Aren’t they gonna put anti-drone cages around those horses?

This is a great danger to Putin — that a peace agreement is signed and Russians see it as capitulation and humiliation with soldiers dying for nothing.

x 1/ Russian warbloggers are very upset at the prospect of a ceasefire in Ukraine that leaves the objectives of the 'Special Military Operation' unfulfilled. One asks, "does the death of my boys mean nothing [but] a dog's dick and a hole after the assault?" ⬇️

6/ This is anathema for ultranationalist warbloggers. "It's too early to slam on the brakes or does the death of my boys mean nothing and I've been here in the militia for so many years for a dog's dick and for a hole after the assault?," asks 'Management Speaks'. 7/ 'Callsign Osetin' writes: "What status can we acquire if we are not fighting at full strength and we are considered weaklings, and our army is not taken seriously in the confrontation with the NATO army (a direct army, and not the [Ukrainians] with all NATO standards),… ….. 10/ Yaroslav Belousov complains: "The liberated lands of the former Ukraine – our Russian people live in them, groaning under the yoke of the blue-yellow Bolsheviks." 11/ "Russia without Kharkiv, Odesa and Yekaterinoslav [former Russian imperial province covering the modern Luhansk, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions] is like a person without a leg or an arm: you can live, but still somehow not right… …. 19/ "You know those students from Donetsk who were mobilised and thrown into battle in the summer of 2022 without even entrenching tools (they dug trenches with their old helmets). 20/ "Were they fighting for aluminium supplies to the USA? For the Yankees' ability to mine rare earths?" /end

Kharkiv refuses to die.

x In the spring of 2022, Kharkiv's streets were meant to be adorned with these decorations. However, it never happened because russia invaded and began bombing our city. Now, three years later, the decorations are finally in place

Russians are shocked to discover that Trump “lied with a straight face.” 😂🤣

x The euphoria over Trump among Russian propagandists is fading rather quickly. They say it's difficult to negotiate with someone who changes their opinion so rapidly.

Romania is doing what Hungary and Slovakia — and the United States — should have done. Merrick Garland must not be in charge of Romania’s justice system.

Don’t forget the Kurds. Trump stabbed them in the back too.

x Trump’s negotiation strategy in Afghanistan resulted in a “capitulation” to the Taliban and abandoning U.S. allies. Experts see strong parallels to how he’s dealing with Russia today.

So they can crash at American airports? So Americans flying to Russia can be arrested as trade bait?

No thanks.

x ⚡️ Russia proposes resuming direct flights with US during talks in Turkey, Reuters reports. Russia suggested resuming direct air travel with the United States during diplomatic talks in Istanbul, Reuters reported, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Do they also sell toy donkeys and chain-link fencing to make anti-drone cages?

I guess they showed us a thing or two, didn’t they.

x "Putin's Squads" burned another effigy of Ursula von der Leyen in Krasnodar region of Russia. They commented that this way, they "burn all the bad things in their lives." Sick, brainwashed people.

Khakassia is in Siberia, north of where the borders of Kazakhstan and Mongolia nearly meet.

x The deputy head of the Republic of Khakassia, Russia, complained that due to Western sanctions, which hit the region’s coal and aluminum industries, there are not enough funds even for compensations to the families of those killed in the so-called "special military operation."

The pissing and shitting on themselves will continue until morale improves.

x Fighting alcoholism in the Russian army: a commander locked his drunk soldiers in a basement for two days without food or water, forcing them to relieve themselves on the spot. Discipline, Russian style.

They lost 80 men out of 125. Not a bad day.

x A soldier from Russia’s 26th Motorized Rifle Regiment whined that drones and artillery slashed his 125-man unit to 40. Great staff optimization!

Aren’t these guys supposed to be business geniuses?

Is it good for business to tell your customers that the stuff they get from you might not work?

x 🚨 US officials told their British counterparts: If you are “deemed not to be doing what you are told you will suddenly find out missiles won’t fire and planes won’t fly. You have got to be careful.”

This will be the end of US weapons exports globally.
