Russia orders wider evacuation of occupied southern Ukraine

Russia fired four missiles into the Ukrainian port city of Mykolaiv overnight, demolishing half an apartment building. Reuters saw rescue workers recover the body of an elderly woman from the rubble.

Yesterday Bronco said this about Russia’s middle strikes…

These strikes are clearly timed for minimal loss of life.

Very professional targeting.

I assume he still agrees.

But, in the end, Russia must be held accountable. And it doesn’t matter what the Kremlin pays people to write!

Civilians should not be in a combat zone.

Actually Russia shouldn’t shouldn’t be in Ukraine

Russia, which claims to have annexed parts of Kherson region, says it is taking civilians to safety because of the risk Ukraine might use unconventional weapons.

A clear indication of Russian intent.

Quick reminder: forced relocation of people in a land you've invaded is a form of ethnic cleansing.

They are obviously about to blow the dam, harming many civilians in the process. Praying for all.

With the benefit of hindsight, Putin can see now that instant success is not within reach. So he's going to grind Ukraine up slowly. A power station this month, a dam next month, a bridge the next....just regular enough that Ukraine don't have to restore, but slow enough to prolong the sufferings. Terrorist to the bone.

Russia orders wider evacuation of occupied southern Ukraine

Russia has plans for mass destruction in southern Ukraine in the hopes of taking out a majority of Ukraine forces. If they intend on unleashing tactical nuclear weapons or dirty bombs it will be there. Followed by strong attacks in the north in Luhansk. They are trying what worked so successfully for Ukraine. Drawing more troops south.

Beware the terrorist state of Russia!

actually the 31 or so “western” countries who back Ukraine’s pogram against the quarter of Its own people who speak Russian, are being paid to publish propaganda and also censored for asking for peace. Try and access RT News or Sputnik…

Have you even tried to access RT? I did just now and it’s still there. Not gonna waste my time with Sputnik now as a simple check has already proved your lie.

Over 300,000 dead: Ukraine loses 12 times as many as were lost in the Vietnam War

America was the invader in Vietnam just like Russia is in Ukraine. The Americans killed more than 300,000 Asians.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have killed 70,000 Russian military personnel since the beginning of the full-scale war.

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/10/29/7374049/

It should say:

Russia orders wider depopulation, not evacuation.

402,000 casualties, of which 387,000 were killed.

To compare - Russian Army lost at this time abot 6 000

Do any of those three numbers sound realistic to you?

Serious question

RT is still available in Japan - so @Eastman, we do get see press from a different perspective. All I have to say is 'what a load of drivel'. Reads like mid 1980's Soviet Propaganda. Well versed in where Ukraine is and its history. You feel free to keep defending Putin and Russian 'Culture and Mentality'- most of which has no place in the modern world.

I imagine there's some buyer's remorse for any Kherson residents who thought they'd be better off joining Russia.

"Evacuation"? I'd call it yet another deportation!

Those who voluntarily go are the few who like the Russian dictatorship, look for advantages, and so on.

All others are used again as human shields by those aggressors!

But Ukraine will prevail, Ukraine will win!

@TokyoLiving? t Russia will make a strong counterattack, one that Ukraine will regret..

Once again, the anti-west zealots are hoping for innocent civilians to continue to be robbed, raped, slaughtered and made houseless, so their favorite cult leader and his supporting caste members can get even richer and more powerful.

7 days from now in the US election will seal Ukrainain fate

The bipartisan support for Ukraine will remain after the midterm US elections. Sealing Russia's fate more than anything.

greetings to darocket expert as well.

So here you are, with your retort about my comment yesterday which was a fair question to Bronco. Not once have I ever claimed to be a rocket expert. Many here might, but not me. I’m wondering if English is one of the languages you speak fluently?

It's another sign of their failure.

Quick reminder: forced relocation of people in a land you've invaded is a form of ethnic cleansing.

They are obviously about to blow the dam, harming many civilians in the process. Praying for all.

The same crap occurred again and again in the former Yugoslavia. Not to mention Myanmar with their Rohingya genocide. Their army was plucking the Rohingya off as they were being forced out.

Either way, Russia is trying to keep what they have, if nothing else its' to 'cleanse' the area in order to stop all this urban guerilla warfare that has been such a thorn in their side.

Russia is planning a dirty bomb. Its so obvious to the world.

There would be no civilians in any combat zones if russia hadn’t invaded a peaceful neighbour in 2014 and launched a colonial imperialist war of conquest on 24/2/22.

Deporting or ethnic cleansing an occupied territory is a war crime.

russia as it seeks to scuttle away over the Dnipro river is using these civilians as human shields as they know Ukraine unlike the murderous butchers in the russian army will not fire on them.

Like the fascists of the 1940’s russians responsible for these war crimes committed in Ukraine will face justice if they are not strung up by their own people.

I realize this figure is probably what the Kremlin has reported, but do you really believe it?? There have been single attacks where over 100 soldiers were killed. I wouldn't believe either side's estimates of the losses.

To compare - Russian Army lost at this time abot 6 000

(only army)

So just compare

Olegek

Russia is an artillery nation and always has been

Used to be. Used to be 60,000 shells a day.

Not anymore. Now Ukraine is the artillery nation with their HIMARS.

Eastman,

peace efforts - sure, many are talking about this, but not under Russia's conditions.

Return all occupied areas to Ukraine (a sovereign state, can't be stressed enough)!

Pay reparations!

Bring those Russians responsible for all the misery, war crimes, and inflicted pain to DeHague!

Denuclearize Russia!

And so on.

Then, only then negotiations can begin.

But Putin definitely ain't willing to do that. It would hurt (also) his ego too much.

Blacklabel

The bipartisan support for Ukraine will remain

it will. the "support"- but not the money and the weapons.

Support like profile pics on Twitter and kind words in the media type "support".

not due to anything malicious, the USA gave what they had to give and its not infinite.

Unlike Biden others dont HAVE to give until we are out.

Mitch McConnell has said that he would like to see greater assistance. The GOP aren't going to stop Biden giving Ukraine military aid if they win both the house and the senate in the mid-terms. And Biden has veto anyway.

Expect more of the same.

It should say:

Russia orders wider depopulation, not evacuation.

Ukraine planned attack on Kherson

Russia planned great battle near Kherson

So Russia evacuate population

Russia is planning a dirty bomb.

Noup, but massive use of artillery

Russia is an artillery nation and always has been

fallaffel

I realize this figure is probably what the Kremlin has reported, but do you really believe it??

Inside Russia Kremlin reported little or nothing about total losses of Ukraine last months (in soldiers)

Absolutely. Idea of operation was to change regime in Kiev and not to kill every Ukrainian soldier.

But we have what we have.

Ukraine had been bombing and attacking their own citizens since 2014, Russia had to do something. It's only logical. The UK's Johnson traveled to Ukraine to tell Zelensky to "keep fighting". Just a war pig escalation at this point.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have killed 70,000 Russian military personnel since the beginning of the full-scale war.

The problem my friend - in Russia (unlike Ukraine) all this info about losses are open.

You could not hide such a big losses - because everything about operation in Ukraine published in each region

of Russia.

"we have lost one good guy today..."

Whole Russian Army (professional) which come to Ukraine was about 180 000

Russia had previously ordered civilians out of a pocket it controls on the west bank of the river, where Ukrainian forces have been advancing for weeks to capture the city of Kherson in what would be a strategic prize in the eight-month-long war.

So about prizes :

Over 300,000 dead: Ukraine loses 12 times as many as were lost in the Vietnam War

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigators have named the actual irrecoverable losses in the Ukrainian armies. As of 20 October 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) had suffered 402,000 casualties, of which 387,000 were killed.

It is better that the civilians heed the orders of the Russian Government, that means that Russia will make a strong counterattack, one that Ukraine will regret..

Run for your lives..
