08:13 Now the best capable Ukrainian forces are being destroyed so that Zelensky can show at least some success. But the army of Ukraine cannot achieve anything sensible. If we were to drop such a huge amount of technology for the sake of achieving such minimal results, then we would all be arrested for such an unreasonable attitude. They bring a large amount of ammunition close to the LBS. We know these places - yesterday we destroyed one warehouse. And everything that will appear - today, tomorrow - will be destroyed -video

Recently, they worked well - they were waiting for a large number of armored vehicles to pass. A large number of armored vehicles simply did not go our direction. And who went - did not return back. And all this ended with the fact that the Ukrainian army will never show how we defeated their main positions. They asked for help from above. From above - it means from the birds. Our iron rooks flew in and sent several FABs there - that's all. The whole situation is over. And all Ukrainian offensive fervor is over.
