The NEW DONBAS LINE, a massive ukrainian 🇺🇦 fortification program
This year, Ukraine built important fortifications that may be able to stop or slow down russian 🇷���� forces. Visible from space, these fortifications have already proven useful.

"UKRAINE'S DEFENSE LINES IN DONBAS"
Ukraine maintains a network of fortified defense lines in the Donbas region, often referred to as the "Donbas fortress belt" or "fortress line."
This system, developed over more than a decade since the 2014 conflict, includes deep trenches, anti-tank ditches, reinforced concrete bunkers, minefields, and industrial complexes around key cities like Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkivka.
These fortifications are considered among Ukraine's strongest assets in the east, providing a defensible backbone against Russian advances.
Putin has demanded full Donbas cession in negotiations, viewing the fortress as a "trump card" for Ukraine in attrition warfare.
Zelenskyy has rejected territorial concessions, emphasizing these fortifications as non-negotiable for long-term security.
@RadidDoitscha@WarMonitor3 lmao, this mf thinks russians are known for their strategic brilliance meanwhile their only strategy since they started existing is basically throw every soldier they have into meat grinder untill the situation fixes itself.

Absolute carnage in the Dobropillia direction. ⚠️
Footage shared by Ukraine’s 1st Azov Corps exposes the horrific reality of Russia’s meat-wave tactics—dozens upon dozens of Russian soldiers left dead and abandoned along just a single infantry assault route.
This is the true cost of Putin’s war. No supplies, no evacuation, just mindless slaughter for zero strategic gain.

@amish_hooligan@Pravonapadenie US didnt help Ukraine in 2014, also it wasnt a coup. Yanukovich runned on bringing Ukraine closer to EU and US he then changed his policy and from there Maidan happened. US didnt do shit to Ukraine untill Russian invasion in 2022
@mahiryunusa He even contradicted himself since in multiple interviews early in his career he said multiple times that he wouldn’t care if Ukraine joined NATO cause they are sovereign free country.
@mahiryunusa Putin invade Ukraine when they werent even able to join NATO and were neutral in 2014. You clearly have no idea whats happening in Ukraine. Putin himself said the reason he invaded is that he doesn’t view Ukraine as real country and that Ukrainians are basically Russians.
@thicc_gandalf@mahiryunusa He wont answer to this cause he knows its bullshit even Putler himself already said that the reason why he invade Ukraine is that they dont think Ukraine is real country and that Ukrainian and Russians are same people.
@MeKaytoo@sternenko@alexbward Zelenskyy calls it Starlink cause thats how most people know it as. Starshield is the same think its just mil version of it. And he obviously was talking about mil. version since in Ukraine thats the only think that actually works if you wanna fly drones.

@towardsfi1@sternenko Also the claim here is again that in Ukraine Starlink civilian version wasnt changed or throttled it was the Starshield that was throttled.
@towardsfi1@sternenko then other countries. Main reason why they did this was becouse Russians were able to hack and use Starlink the civilian version. Thats why this happened thats why this was requested and Ukraine is I think only countries that have these tresholds changed.
@towardsfi1@sternenko And they had access to Starshield since 2024 and have been using it for all their drone strikes ever since then. The claim is that the starshield service was throttled by Musk. Commercial Starlink was already throttled since beginning of the year basically when the whitelists
@Perich_Suzanne@_sn_n This has to be account runned by either one of Elon bots or its Elon himself just look at the replies being identical to shit what Musk posts.
