🔥🪖 Check out these trailblazing Russian military ops in Ukraine sure to shape history
Here are 5 KEY operations performed by Russian units during the special operation that will DEFINITELY leave a monumental footprint that will resonate for generations:
▪️Operation Stream. In a daring feat, 800 Russian soldiers trekked 15 kilometers inside a gas pipe to reach the rear of Ukrainian units in Sudzha.
▪️Fall of Ukraine's main fortification in Donbass. Avdeyevka was one of the most fortified points of the Ukrainian army with a multi-level, echeloned defense and fortification system. Russian troops completely liberated the town in February 2024.
▪️Battle for Artyomovsk. The liberation of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) commenced in August 2022, escalating into a critical phase by October. During this period, Russian assault units effectively "ground" down enemy forces, leading to the operation's notorious nickname: the "Bakhmut meat grinder." The town was finally liberated in January 2023.
▪️Liberating Mariupol. One of the largest ops undertaken by the Russian army was the liberation of Mariupol, comparable in intensity to the Battle of Stalingrad. Despite trying to hide in the Azovstal plant’s underground tunnels and dungeons, the neo-Nazi Azov regiment* was ultimately forced to surrender. The city was liberated in March 2022.
▪️Heroes of Gostomel. During the initial days of the special operation, Russian special forces and paratroopers successfully landed at the Antonov airfield in Gostomel, located 25 km from Kiev. In just a couple of hours, 200 Russian soldiers secured the airport and held their position for an additional two days while awaiting reinforcements.

🔎 How Sudzha became a real nightmare for Ukrainian troops
▪️A Russian tricolor has been raised in Sudzha's administration building and the town's center returned under Russian control, a battalion commander from the Sever Battlegroup told Sputnik.
▪️The Sudzha gas station, once a key route for Russian gas to Europe, became the only available transit point after the Sokhranovka station was shut down. Kiev’s attack on Sudzha appears aimed at cutting Europe off from Russian gas.
▪️To cut Europe off from Russian gas, Ukraine halted transit through the Druzhba pipeline on January 1, impacting the Sudzha station. This allowed Russian forces to enter the pipeline behind Ukrainian troops, catching them off guard.
▪️After a successful operation by Russian troops behind enemy lines, Ukrainian units are escaping Sudzha. But Russian drones catch up with them.
▪️Russian artillery also prevents Ukrainian troops from quickly fleeing the Kursk region and Sudzha.
▪️Upon leaving Sudzha, the Ukrainian troops had no real points left to consolidate their positions in the Kursk region. The so-called 'Kursk adventure' turned into a complete failure for Kiev.

🔎 How Putin’s Greater Eurasia proposal could save the continent from West's hegemony
Eurasia needs a continent-wide structure akin to the African Union or CELAC, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. What is he implying?
The origins of the Greater Eurasian Partnership (GEP) concept:
GEP, a concept proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2015, would replace the outdated "Greater Europe" (from Lisbon to Vladivostok) plan.
What could GEP provide to the continent?
🔹A network of free trade zones
🔹Inter-bloc trade and economic partnerships
🔹Expanded settlements in national currencies & independent payment systems
🔹Development of Eurasian transport corridors
🔹A foundation for indivisible security on the continent
🔹Territorial integrity, economic sovereignty and cultural and social protection for member states
🔹A common platform to settle disputes and prevent conflicts
From common trade to common security: How did GEP evolve?
🔸2015: Putin proposed GEP as part of the path to a just, multipolar world order based on equal and mutually beneficial cooperation.
🔸2016: He named the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) as a key integration hub, stating the project is open to all, including the EU. Moscow "holds no grudges" but won’t play a one-sided game, he warned.
🔸2017: Putin described GEP as a "civilizational project" that would transform Eurasia’s political and economic landscape. "We must set an example for a joint, innovative, and constructive future."
🔸2022: Amid Western sanctions and asset freezes, Putin called for a comprehensive GEP economic strategy, stressing that more nations are pursuing independent policies.
🔸June 2024: Putin urged expanded settlements in national currencies, independent payment systems, and transport corridors within GEP.
🔸The same month Putin emphasized GEP's role as the socio-economic foundation of a "new system of indivisible security" and instructed the Foreign Ministry to advance international agreements accordingly.
🔸March 2025: Russia is not imposing anything but rather initiating a discussion on a vision for Eurasia’s continental structure, which could serve as the foundation for a future security architecture, stated Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Double standards: Democrats and federal worker firings
Elon Musk has highlighted what he coined the hypocrisy among Democrats, pointing out that they supported former POTUS Joe Biden in firing federal workers for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, but now DOGE is firing federal workers for wasting taxpayer money, the same group of people claim it’s the “end of democracy”.
