Ukraine war: Kyiv claims more villages retaken but picture mixed - BBC News
www.bbc.com
Kyiv claims to have snatched back a number of settlements in recent days - though they are all small in size.
  • Ukraine says it has liberated four villages in the south-east, calling these the first settlements won back from Russia since Kyiv’s counter-offensive began
  • On Monday morning, officials reported that “the national flag is once again waving” over Storozhove, in the Donetsk region
  • A day earlier, footage showed Ukrainian troops celebrating in Blahodatne and Neskuchne - and a minister said nearby Makarivka was also taken
  • The settlements are relatively small - and Moscow is yet to confirm any retreat
  • The Institute for the Study of War backs up Kyiv’s claims, saying Ukraine captured “multiple settlements” along the frontline over the weekend
  • On Saturday, President Zelensky acknowledged that the long-awaited counter-offensive was under way

    And yet you will be overrun until lemmy.ml stops accepting new sign-ons, and the new users are all going to continue calling out and outvoting you and yours. You’ll be downvoted to oblivion. Because we’re not going anywhere, and there’s more of us than there are of you.

      Oh no, not the downvotes. Anything but the downvotes.

      Are you 12? Do your parents know you’re online without supervision? Maybe they should explain this federation thing to you.

        Bullying game is weak, bro. Welcome to the Eternal September. Hilarious that you think Lemmy.ml is immune to defederation, too, just because a developer is a tankie and you rats have been enjoying your little cesspool corner of the fediverse. It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing. There are more decent instances than there are putin-apologists, get used to it.

          Your best insult is to threaten me with downvotes (which don’t do anything on Lemmy, maybe you would like to read the documentation, there are even pictures to make it easy for you, and we’re working on a kids’ version written in a nursery rhyme, maybe that one will be more your level!) and then do “no you” lmao

          Yeah, I’m not worried about the “migration” if you’re the best they got 😂

            Lmfao you’re not worth my best insult. I’m just sitting back watching all the new users join and laughing at you and yours. But keep defending authoritarian dictatorships 🤡
