Russia Ukraine war, page-197254

So the turkey shoot of Ukrainians by the Russians at Krynki


well that's as far as I got....so stupid ...if it was as you suggest russia would've taken it months back

!how many failed attempts did the russ make to try and take that over months losing countless troops , including a Colonel , and so many tanks and vehicles .
The russ lost a lot more men than Ukraine .
They used a division to beat a batalion .

Even now there is strategic benefit to Ukraine is those russian troops will need to be maintained there and are not available to fight elsewhere - tied up ....or the UAF will be back !
