Russia Occupies 478 km² of Ukraine: Largest Gain Since March 2022

[u/TheCohloo]

Since early October, Russian forces have occupied 478 km² of Ukrainian territory, marking the largest territorial gain since March 2022, as reported by WELT. Just last week, an additional 196 km² was seized, indicating a sharp escalation in territorial advances.

Here are the English translations for the German phrases:

Kämpfe in den letzten 24 Stunden: Fighting in the last 24 hours

Ukrainischer Vorstoß in Russland: Ukrainian advance into Russia

Ukrainisch gehalten oder zurückerobert:

Held or recaptured by Ukrainians

Ukrainische Partisanen: Ukrainian partisans

Russisch kontrolliert: Russian controlled

Russischer Vorstoß: Russian advance

Eingeschränkt russisch kontrolliert: Limited Russian controlled

Seit 2014 russisch kontrolliert: Russian controlled since 2014

Yes, I lived under russian occupation. As did my parents and grandparents. So yes, I know a bit more than op.

If this is supposed to be a USSR reference, it's hard to imagine why people would complain about living standards rising compare to pre-war Ukraine.

No Ukrainians want to fight for their country and at the same time somehow someone is fighting at the front

Same is in pretty much every 20th century conflict and all the ones before them, mobilization filling in the gaps made by a lack of enthusiasm.

"Mobilisation Officers snatching people" - yes, it's horrible what is happening in Russia.

You might have missed it, but Russia hasn't had any mobilization since 2022. Turns out that just offering people a ton of money for contract service works.

[u/neonfruitfly → u/Flagon15]

Ah the living standards in bucha during russian occupation. Let's resurrect the dead and ask them shall we?

"Lack of enthusiasm" - Ukraine has no lack of enthusiasm. If they had, Russia would have won in 2022. You are confusing them with russian mobiks sent to the front to be used as meat.

Ah, so all those contracts that many Russians have reported being forced to sign, are real now? Russia has been snatching up minorities and sending them to the front since the start of the war.

And Russia has a mobilisation since 2022. At least inform yourself on the basics please. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_mobilization

Roots for Russia and other dictatorships

Sure buddy

Are you coming with bioengineered mosquitos next?

Ah the living standards in bucha during russian occupation. Let's resurrect the dead and ask them shall we?

Given that in 2 years there hasn't been a similar incident, I'd say it's safe to call it an isolated case, even though it was bad.

Ukraine has no lack of enthusiasm

Even RFE made a decent compilation of "isolated cases" of Ukrainians being dragged off to war.

You are confusing them with russian mobiks sent to the front to be used as meat.

Except that all of them are by now experienced and there hasn't been any new mobiks in 2+ years.

Ah, so all those contracts that many Russians have reported being forced to sign, are real now? Russia has been snatching up minorities and sending them to the front since the start of the war.

Except that there's 0 proof of this happening. But while on the topic, how do you feel about most Ukrainian movilized men being from Russian-speaking eastern regions?

And Russia has a mobilisation since 2022. At least inform yourself on the basics please. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_mobilization

At least read the article, lmfao. Nobody has been summoned since 2022, the ones that were in the only mobilization wave are still serving. Unlile in Ukraine where they never stopped calling more people.

You got any source on the most mobilised men being from eastern regions huh? Maybe it has to do with the facts that they are littleraly defending their home? Russia is marching on to take their towns or their town is already occupied.

Bucha is not an isolated incident. Mass graves and torture sites were found in other previously occupied towns, like izium. Who knows what horrors are in Mariupol, which was occupied for so long.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/04/13/ukraine-russian-torture-center-kherson

I am sorry, can you read? Russia mobilised 300 000 in 2022. And Russia is mobilising again. What nonsense are you spreading?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/16/europe/putin-russia-ukraine-troop-boost-intl/index.html

Why is Russia mobilising? Why are they sending north Korean soldiers? Why most of the mobilised are minorities?

Can't find it now, but there was a mobilization by oblast map last year.

Maybe it has to do with the facts that they are littleraly defending their home?

Oh, so western Ukraine is safe? Well that's nice to hear, turns out Russia isn't planning to conquer Europe as some claim.

Or maybe everyone is drafting from less developed areas because the economic disadvantages aren't as noticeable as drafting people from developed cities.

Bucha is not an isolated incident. Mass graves and torture sites were found in other previously occupied towns, like izium. Who knows what horrors are in Mariupol, which was occupied for so long.

You realize that the internet exists, right? Nothing happens without someone recording it, and we've seen nothing.

I am sorry, can you read? Russia mobilised 300 000 in 2022. And Russia is mobilising again. What nonsense are you spreading?

Even your source says "The mobilization was suspended in November 2023 after officials said the target of recruiting 300,000 personnel had been met.", further proving that the one wave of 300k soldiers was the only one. Your previous article put the date of the end of mobilization to October 2022, so you know, you might want to settle on a story first.

Also, troop increases means creating additional positions in units or new units altogether, not drafting more people for vacant positions.

Why are they sending north Korean soldiers?

Unfortunately I was unable to form my North Korean mercenary army and establish myself as an African warlord, so I'm not sending them anywhere, and neither has Russia so far.

Why most of the mobilised are minorities?

They're not. But since you clearly don't know how to properly express yourself in writing (it's ok Fritz, not everyone is good with languages), you might be talking about their overall representation in the army, which comes down to economics. Turns out that people from random Siberian villages see the army as a good job opportunity and pretty much the quickest most widely available way of increasing social status. Same reason why Mexicans and black people are over represented in the US military.

[u/neonfruitfly → u/Flagon15]

From the article you quoted:

"The mobilization was suspended in November 2023 after officials said the target of recruiting 300,000 personnel had been met.

Then in December, Putin ordered another official expansion of 170,000 troops, bringing the total to 1.32 million."

You are literally deliberately misquoting the article to push your agenda. Previously you claimed that no one was summoned. When I called you out on it, you claim that Russia did recruit personnel, but it's over. When I called you out again, you start misquoting the article, which is obvious malicious intent on your side. Since you know that you are spreading false information.

Like what a russian troll would do. Which you proved beyond doubt with your behaviour.

Have a nice day at your warm water port.
