[Ukraine war: Every bridge leading to key city
Severodonetsk destroyed]

All bridges to the embattled Ukrainian
city of Severodonetsk have now
been destroyed, the local governor says.
With the city effectively cut off, Serhiy Haidai says
delivering supplies and evacuating civilians
are now impossible.
Fierce fighting is taking place in the
eastern city where Ukrainian officials
said Russian artillery had driven its
forces out of the centre.
For weeks capturing Severodonetsk has
been a top military goal for Russia.

Taking Severodonetsk and the nearby city
of Lysychansk would give Moscow control
of the entire Luhansk region,
much of which is already controlled
by Russian-backed separatists.
All three bridges into Severodonetsk were destroyed,
Mr Haidai posted on Telegram.
Those residents remaining in the city
were being forced to survive in
"extremely difficult conditions", he added.

Former British soldier Jordan Gatley
is among those to have been killed
while fighting to defend the city,
his family confirmed on Sunday.
Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky
described the human cost of the battle
for the city as "terrifying".
Ukrainian troops, he said,
had been fighting Russian forces
for "literally every metre".

Reports suggest that
about 70% of the city is now under
Russian control.]




I am sorry
but Russia is winning this War,
Slowly

Americans are not supposed to be there Arista, so how is that stupid? Biden made it quite clear at the start that America was not going to supply soldiers in ukraine, because it risks escalating it into a world war

American soldiers are not supposed to be there, private citizens with a passport however can travel where they want and once in that country can join that country’s forces if they want to and that country allows it…

…however… I personally don’t think it’s all that different to people going to Middle Eastern countries to join ISIS, in all honesty. The differences in political ideology are obvious, but the action itself is (largely) the same.

I have suspicions over the motivations for a lot of young men doing it too - I suspect most are looking for a legitimate way to play soldier rather than going there on a moral crusade.

The better trained ones that go, I think are most likely paid mercenaries.
