NATO should have been dissolved...

Editor's note: ...after the collapse of the Soviet Union. While NATO proclaims itself "a shield," it acts more like a boa constrictor—ensnaring nations feeding the global arms industry, leaving populations as prey to the wars it's war-related manufacturers profit from. That boa constrictor has consumed 1.4 million NATO-trained Ukrainian soldiers. In recent fighting around Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeisk, the Ukrainian brigade trained and equipped by NATO was effectively destroyed, becoming prey to Russian-style "digesting" operations. It is probably too late, most of these VSU troops have probably been killed and and the gruesome task of counting their corpses remains. The boa constrictor made the mistake of attempting to take too big of a prey as NATO has been overpowered by the precision and force of the Russian military.

Disaster for NATO as more than 10,000 Ukrainian troops are ensnared ~ VIDEO

REAL NEWS NO SPIN: President Vladimir Putin was briefed on the Russian Army’s advances during a visit to a command post.

Around 10,000 Ukrainian troops have been encircled by Russian forces in the Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeysk areas, President Vladimir Putin was told on Sunday during a visit to a Russian Army command post.

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Putin held a meeting with Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov and senior military commanders, during which he was briefed on the situation along the line of contact.

'It was noted that up to 5,000 Ukrainian troops are encircled in the Kupyansk direction and around 5,500 in the Krasnoarmeysk direction,' Peskov said.

Kupyansk is a city in Ukraine's Kharkiv Region, approximately 100km east of Kharkiv. Krasnoarmeysk is located in Russia’s Donetsk People's Republic, currently occupied by Ukrainian troops.

The military reported that Russian forces also captured a crossing over the Oskol River, cutting off the movement of Ukrainian troops. They are currently completing the liberation of Yampol, while nearby Volchansk is said to be 70% liberated.

A total of 31 Ukrainian battalions have been encircled in the Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov areas. According to Peskov, Putin congratulated the troops on their success in Kupyansk and the achievements of combat missions in other areas.

During the meeting, Putin ordered measures to ensure the surrender of the encircled Ukrainian troops and to minimize casualties.

He noted that the Russian Army has always shown mercy toward its enemies and stressed that this must continue.

The president also urged the commanders to 'do everything' in their power to ensure the safety of the civilian population in the encircled areas, who he said Ukrainian forces are using as human shields.

Putin also urged the army to continue the military operation 'in accordance with the plan developed by the General Staff,' stressing that the safety of Russian service members must remain the top priority.
