I love how it was a “key strategic location”… until it was taken. Now it’s unimportant. Do you people listen to yourselves?

I mean, it makes a Ukrainian offensive in that area (i.e. anywhere in the direction of Volnovakha and Mariupol) significantly more difficult. Not that that was in the cards anyway, but still
It was a major strategic town, similar to Avdiivka. We can only hope that another post-Avdiivka collapse doesn’t happen here, too.

For two relentless years, they have steadily seized this modest settlement and while Russia is expanding its territory, the price is pointledd as countless lives are lost and blood is spilled in an orgy of senseless hate. The land demands its pound of flesh, and the air thickens with the cries of the damned, as if the angels of wrath bear witness to humanity’s final fall. Fuck that shit.

It took Russia two plus years to take the small city. I am sure many contingencies have been planned over the large span of time.

That flies in the face of everything I’ve heard from the Russian shills. So much so that I actually believed it.
But far more qualified people are saying it isn’t important now….
So confusing.
