The fortifications building as expected was a money laundering operation.

Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, propagandist and editor-in-chief of the portal “Censor.  NO” Yuri Butusov said that in Kyiv they say one thing, but at the front something completely different is happening, describing the situation in very gloomy colors.

“I was near Avdievka literally two days ago, in the direction of the enemy’s main attack - they are moving from Avdiivka further, to the west.  You know, there are no words!  In Kyiv, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief says one thing, but at the front something completely different is happening.

I want to tell you: there are no field fortifications beyond Avdeevka; they have not yet been erected.  I saw how our soldiers in these holes dug in the middle of the field were attacked by Russian drones, fired from a mortar... It was very painful to watch.

No conclusions are drawn!  If you can’t find builders, if the government can’t find builders to equip at least basic rear lines of defense, if you can’t find engineers to maintain modern equipment, drones, sensors, communications, if you can’t find technologists who will produce ammunition, then there won’t be enough attack aircraft!  »  — he said extremely emotionally following his trip to the line of combat contact.

Not everything needs to be a sexy model but god damn Western devs are taking it to the extreme.

Nintendo has earned their Japanese success with Switch. Sony hasn't done jack shit line up wise from first party to interest the japanese.

Even the super pro Ukr resetera is admitting 2024 is lost, and a magic 2025 recovery is unlikely.

Manpower has become the most pressing issue though, which was exacerbated by reduced deliveries of ammunition and equipment over the winter. Ukraine's summer offensive primarily culminated when it ran out of infantry, and Ukraine has struggled to replace combat losses since then. 9/

This means that Ukrainian brigades are understrength, and Ukraine lacks sufficient reserves to respond to Russian advances, so units are pulled from one part of the front to attempt to stop advances elsewhere. Ukrainian infantry need to be rotated more often or there will be a growing risk of exhaustion. 10/

Ukraine has passed a new mobilization bill that provides incentives for volunteers and increases the pool of men available to be drafted. Hopefully, this will improve the manpower situation, but it will take time to mobilize and train soldiers/units. 11/

More concerning is that the manpower issue has been known for some time, but has not been fixed. The longer it takes to improve the manpower situation, the less likely it becomes that Ukraine can conduct a offensive in 2025. The new NATO-trained/equipped brigades last summer did not have enough time to train together, and Russian defenses will still be strong. New soldiers/units need to be mobilized to replace current losses and trained for 2025. 12/

At the same time, one of the most important factors in the war last year was that Russia was able to significantly improve its manpower situation, recruiting more than 300,000 volunteers. 13/

It isn't just involuntary mobilized soldiers and prisoners, they are mostly getting volunteers who are willing to go into costly assaults. The quality, of course, varies, but the quantitative advantage is a serious problem. 14/

Without this manpower advantage, Russia's artillery and airpower advantage would not be sufficient for Russia to make gains on the battlefield. The relative manpower situation is likely the most important factor that will determine the war's trajectory, particularly if Russia can sustain recruiting 20-30k a month. 15/

The immediate problem is that Russia continues to advance on the battlefield, and has reached important locations while Ukraine faced ammunition shortages. Russia is bringing up reserves to Chasiv Yar, and will likely soon begin an assault on the city. 16/

Russian forces are also expanding their foothold in Ocheretyne, which threatens Ukrainian positions nearby, and they have advanced into Krasnohrivka and have made recent gains on the Marinka-Novomykhailivka front. 17/

Even with increased ammunition deliveries/expenditure, Ukraine might not be able to hold Chasiv Yar and other of these towns/cities, and Russia faces more favorable terrain once they get past Chasiv Yar, which could lead to an increase in the rate of advance. If Chasiv Yar falls, it will also put Ukrainian positions south of the city at risk. This is true for further Russian advances elsewhere. The delays in aid/mobilization have been costly. 18/

If Ukraine can stabilize the front and fix the manpower situation in 2024 when Russia has a number of advantages, 2025 could be more favorable because Western production capacity will increase and Russian equipment losses could become a greater issue. If the manpower situation does not improve, then the second half of 2024 will likely be more difficult for Ukraine than the first half. 19/

To be fair Avowed is also a technical piece of shit.

🇺🇦🏴‍☠️The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine notified NATO of the difficult operational-strategic situation at the front, which tends to escalate

 “I informed the coalition participants about the complex operational-strategic situation, which tends to escalate; the specifics of the enemy’s airstrikes against energy infrastructure; about our urgent needs for missiles, ammunition, weapons, military equipment and the key role of their timely arrival,” Syrsky said  about his speech at the 21st meeting on the defense capability of Ukraine at Ramstein Air Base.

Very impressive for an army which has: 500.000 casualties a day.

Fights with shovels.

Sends Suicide Meatwave attacks.

Uses Washing machine micro chips.

No ammunition.

Only inexperienced recruits.

Found a pipe.

1950's equipment.

Uses golf carts

The offensive seems to be accelerating.

Hasn't Dr Dre been making an album for over a damn decade now?

Russia is producing so many weapons that it has the ability to form whole new armies with hundreds of thousands of personel.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Russia is now producing more weapons and ammunition than is necessary to conduct military operations in Ukraine.

Pistorius stated this, citing military experts and weapons specialists, n-tv channel reports.  According to the minister, Russia is currently increasing the production of weapons, the Russian military economy is streamlined, and most of what it now produces no longer goes to the front, but goes to warehouses, which may indicate the preparation of a new offensive by the Russian Armed Forces.

"Most or part of what is now produced no longer goes to the front, but ends up in warehouses. One can be naive and say that he [Vladimir Putin] is doing this only out of caution. As a skeptic, I would rather say that in  In this case, he's doing it because he's planning something or perhaps has something in mind," Pistorius said.

There is not enough space in Ukrainian prisons to transfer all draft dodgers and deserters, - lawyer Demchenko, citing the official response of the Ministry of Justice

 The response states that in Ukraine there are 100 penal service institutions, which can accommodate 78,763 people.  There are already 44,861 people seated in them, which means there is room left for 33,902 people.

 “Then a logical question arises. What to do with all the draft dodgers? What to do with all the deserters, sezecheshniki (who left the military unit without permission). What to do with the thousands of those criminal proceedings that are now in the State Bureau of Investigation, the police and other law enforcement agencies?”  - Demchenko asks a question.

And how does it spell doom for Xbox's first party?  

Everything is coming to PS5.

Watch all the elves swallow their pride and go to Mordor to get Russian citizenship asap so they don't get kicked out of the EU to trenches in Ukraine.

🇺🇦🇵🇱Ukrainians storm the consulate in Warsaw

 There are huge queues at the Warsaw passport center after the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry decided to stop providing consular services to men.

 Men are not given ready-made passports, under the pretext that “the system does not work.”  Everything works for children and women.

 Earlier, the Ukrainian consulate in Poland confirmed that it had suspended the provision of services to men of military age.

So not only is this game BETTER on PS5 but it's sales spell doom for all of XBoxs first party yet lemmings are defending this shit?

Till the last Ukranian in the European Union.

❗️Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba admitted that he personally ordered to limit consular services for Ukrainians abroad

 “What it looks like now: a man of military age went abroad, showed his state that the question of his survival does not concern him, and then comes and wants to receive services from this state,” writes Kuleba.

 He added that Ukraine will not provide services to its citizens abroad because they have shown their indifference to the issue of the survival of the state.

Lol and your shithole country isn't doomed? Entire areas are flooded right now because half of the money intended for your infrastructure was stolen by corrupt oligarchs and the other half is being pumped into a pointless war thats getting countless Russians killed. Exactly what kind of future does Russia have? Being a 2nd rate Chinese colony? And don't ignore your demographic issues either. You know things are bad when propagandists plead on TV for children to start pumping out babies  

Russia gets 600k a year getting a Russian passport from other regions while Ukraine barely pumps 100k a year. The situation is so shit it will take Ukraine 10 years to match what Russia accepts ad citizen a year.
