For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

[ChloeTzang]

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that four additional units are being prepared for launch at the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). “We are preparing to launch four new power units in Ukraine. The first phase includes two units, adding 2.2 GW, followed by a second phase – two more units, American-made by the way, from Westinghouse, also contributing 2.2 GW. We are working with our American partners to complete this plant, which will become our most powerful one,” said Zelenskyy.

This has moved fast - in late November 2021, Energoatom and Westinghouse Electric agreed on a contract to construct the first Westinghouse AP1000 reactor in Ukraine at the Khmelnytskyi plant. In May 2022, Energoatom stated that the full scale Russian invasion going on since February and occupations of other power stations had not changed their ambitions to construct these units. They were still working with Westinghouse to construct two AP1000 reactors at the site - and now, 3 years later, they're coming online. A big boost to the Ukrainian electricity grid. It's quite a ways away from the border with Russia too.

This major project will allow Ukraine to eliminate the need for electricity imports during winter and also provide cheaper electricity for Ukrainian citizens and industries.

Quite an interesting analysis of Russia's economic situation and the war. from the Kyiv Post.... the Russian economy won't allow him to continue to execute a large scale war for much longer. Trump is simply continuing Biden's policy towards Ukraine, but phrased rather more bluntly. Trump may pull the rug out from under Putin by crashing the Russian economy thru driving down oil prices. Ukraine's strikes on Russian's oil infrastructure also have a "hands off, do what you want" signal from the Trump Administration. The Russian's also knew their "Red Lines" influenced and worked on the thinking of the Biden Administration. However, these Red Line threats don't work so well on the Trump Admin and they're dropped away over the last few months.

‘Turning Point in Pokrovsk’ – Ukraine De-Occupies Pishchane, Repels Russians​

Ukrainian forces liberated the village of Pishchane in the Pokrovsk sector, halted Russia’s advance and pushed back enemy troops, inflicting significant losses. “The liberation of Pishchane has already been reported, and we can now confirm it. The village is located about five kilometers south of Pokrovsk. Russian troops have also been pushed back from several other nearby settlements,” Viktor Tregubov, spokesperson for the Khortytsia operational-strategic grouping of troops stated. He noted that the situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and there are signs of a slight shift in the enemy’s actions. He said their offensive has been partially halted this month, and in some settlements, Russian troops have even been pushed back. He remarked that this progress was due to the effective use of drones and the coordinated efforts of various Ukrainian military units.

Russian milbloggers on Tuesday confirmed Ukrainian troops in the Pokrovsk sector, the epicenter of a grinding Kremlin offensive since early 2024, advanced more than a kilometer (1,100 yards) on an 8-kilometer (5-mile) wide front to break into the Russian-held village of Pishchane in the Donetsk region. Video published by the 425th Separate Assault Regiment Skala deployed to the Pokrovsk sector, showed its infantry supported by bomber drones pushing through the village of Pishchane and winkling out Russian defenders in a professional-looking night attack. The geo-located images showed careful tactics and liberal use of grenades by Ukrainian assault troops. Unconfirmed reports said AFU units had also taken two villages adjacent to Pishchane – Dachenske, Vodyany Druhy - where Ukrainian infantry was reported to be digging in.

Overall, from a couple of other articles I've read, it seems that Ukraine's use of drones and their drone and EW capabilities are starting to give them a real edge over the Russians, leading to tactical successes such as this. The recent Ukrainian push in Kursk is another example of this, and taken together with Ukraine's rapidly increasing production of drones, together with other countries such as Germany and the UK also starting to supply ever larger numbers of drones, this may be giving Ukraine the edge they need. Also, we are seeing some Ukrainian military units such as Skala, Azov, etc., who have developed a high standard of professionalism, allowing them to fight far more effectively than in the past....

"Our (Russian) soldiers can't get near khokhols [derogatory slur for Ukrainians]! Their EW jams everything, our drones are not flying! The sky is completely, completely under the khokhols. The infantry are being wiped out, they're being killed by the thousands."

A Russian volunteer recorded a video saying that the occupiers are dying by the thousands because their boasted EW systems either don't exist or are useless. She claims that the AFU has complete control of the sky and jams communications, making it virtually impossible for Russian troops to advance. And even if they do manage to capture a point, they are then targeted with artillery or drones.

The volunteer admits that the stories about cutting-edge technology and know-how are lies because, she says, Russian soldiers even have to ask volunteers to "come up with some EW."

Ronins Drone Unit Wiped Out Three russian Air Defense Systems in One Day​

Ukrainian warriors from the Ronins attack drone company, part of the 65th Mechanized Brigade, destroyed three russian occupation forces' air defense systems in the Zaporizhzhia sector in just one day. On social media, the unit posted a video showing the destruction of three enemy anti-aircraft missile systems at once—one Tor and two Buk. The destruction of three enemy SAM systems within a day is a remarkable result that demonstrates the high level of efficiency of the unit.

These systems are, at this point in the war, pretty much irreplaceable, and every system taken out opens up a new gap in Russian air defenses, which is also why we are seeing an increase in ground attack missions from Ukrainian F16-Vipers. Russia is going deeper and deeper into the hole, and low-cost drones are increasingly dominating the battlefield.

Zelensky issues red line on Ukraine-Russia peace deal​

Ukraine must be involved in any negotiations for a peace deal with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted on Sunday. The Ukrainian leader says that he won't accept any deals made between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin if he and his team are not also invited to the table. 'I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine – never,' Zelensky told NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. 'And our people, never. And our adults, and children, and everybody, it can't be so.'

The EU better up their defence spending and manufacturing and go back to Cold War-scaled militaries then....

Chloe “Chicongo” Tzang needs to ADMIT that they were WRONG, and that President Musk (and DonOld, etc) are TRAITORS who are betraying Ukraine, NATO, and our other allies.

Then Chloe “Chicongo” Tzang needs to APOLOGIZE to the decent, intelligent individual who were RIGHT about President Musk (and DonOld, etc) being TRAITORS.



Chloe “Chicongo” Tzang



Side note:

President Biden (along with the Ukrainians and the allied coalition) HAD Putin and Russia on the ropes, and NOW President Musk (and DonOld, etc) are SABOTAGING EVERYTHING. (President Biden had also lined up fair agreements with Zelenskyy on Ukraine’s rare earth minerals before he left office WITHOUT resorting to EXTORTION.)



JFC

SAD!!!

You never wanted Ukraine to have a say because you suck Putin cock. You supported his unlawful.invasion and tried to lie about it to the forum.

Trump does not have the power to drive down oil prices. "Drill, baby, drill" ain't gonna do it.

Show me where I "supported" his invasion. Show me where I said I supported Putin. I only commented on why it happened and the "fact" that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, didn't deserve our help. I was against the war from the very beginning and said so numerous times because I knew it would turn out just like it is going to turn out, with us being a party to the biggest death toll in Europe since WWII, having spent billions upon billions and gained nothing in return.

PS: Oh, and stop projecting your homosexual fantasies for Joe Biden onto me.

It is less corrupt than Russia. Less corrupt than Belarus. Also less corrupt than South Vietnam was when Americans were dying to save it.

Really? How so? Russia's economy's on the brink, he can't keep it up much longer. Zelensky can keep fighting with pitchforks, if that's all they have. Trump can't tell him to stop. No matter how hard you try and make it true....*chuckles*

Saying that Zelensky shouldn't have a say in the ending of an invasion of the country he's the President of is just the stupidest shit I've ever heard
