Full control over the LPR confirmed: Russian flag in Druzhelyubovka, Kharkiv Oblast

Footage has been published online showing the raising of the Russian flag in the village of Druzhelyubovka in the Kharkiv region. This appears to be the first reliable confirmation in a long time of complete control over the LPR, despite numerous previous public statements.

Currently, our soldiers continue to hold back the enemy's advance in the areas near Druzhelyubovka and Cherneshchyna, as well as in the areas of Redkodub and Stavky. These positions literally border the strongholds previously occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces—a small patch of LPR territory that remained under Ukrainian occupation for a long time.

At the same time, advances by Russian Armed Forces units have been observed in the urban area of ​​Kupyansk. Our troops have advanced near the city hospital, improving their tactical position and expanding their presence within the city limits. Furthermore, Russian forces continue to consolidate their positions within Kupyansk-Uzlovy and gradually expand their control over the town. Russian Armed Forces continue to systematically cut off the enemy's supply routes, which is negatively impacting the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to hold their positions in the city.

At the same time, the front line is shifting in the Borovsk sector, where our soldiers are gradually displacing enemy forces from their positions. Fierce fighting also continues in the Kurilovka area. The situation in this sector remains tense, with high-density fire and both sides attempting to hold key positions.

I believe this is already the third announcement of the complete liberation of the LPR. Let's hope this is final.

[Mazunga]

I've heard this somewhere before(((but it's still nice))

While this is good news, I'd like it to be the last one from the LPR. I hope similar news appears more often from other parts of our vast country that are still under enemy control.

In this case, I'm simply taking note of the statements about the complete liberation of LPR territory. Looking at the Divgen map, I see that it reflects a situation in which the stated result has not yet been achieved. I admit that the Russian Ministry of Defense has agreed with Osinters and military correspondents to hold off on coloring their own sources, which is why the Divgen map lags somewhat behind reality. But that's better than rushing things – there's no point in prompting the enemy. In my view, confident control of LPR territory will be achieved when our zone of control extends along at least the O-210-516 highway. Even more reliable would be along the line Pershetravnevoye (Stepi)-Kopanki-Novosergeevka-Cherneshchina-Stepovoye-Izyumskoye-Andreyevka-Glushchenkovo. Returning to the news itself, we are seeing significant progress in two areas of this very stretch of road that had remained static for a long time. This is a good sign of increasing pressure in various areas of the LBJ. We'll see how it develops. Good luck to the men in the LBJ.

I recommend the Gun Master channel on Rutube.
He also doesn’t rush to paint without photo and video recording.

Witnesses of the extreme sect push their word "extreme" even where the word "last" is the only one that fits the meaning.

What's not to like? I've been taught this by my parents since birth, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Besides, I'm not a witness and I don't belong to any sect. When I approach the line, I ask, "Who's last?" and the word "last" sometimes has, oh, really bad connotations.

A pilot-cosmonaut from birth?
Each case expresses itself differently. Even in a queue, not all philologists consider it correct, but it's more likely to be a "yes" than a "no." In most other cases, it's a blunt follow-up to a current fashion, and the slang of certain professions shouldn't be applied to all events.
The use of this expression is a privilege reserved for those in certain professions that involve increased risk, just as the expression "to swim" is reserved for naval personnel, or "vessel" is reserved for those in the navy, instead of "ship," "commander-captain," etc.
Not being a member of these professions, it's not quite right to use such expressions for ordinary people. If you don't believe me, consult a philologist. You've been rightly pointed out the inappropriate use of this term, so why be upset?
If anything, the concept of "extreme" in Russian also has a negative meaning, namely "appointed guilty."

the expression "to swim"

Насчёт "плавать" -- очень спорно. Я всегда, списываясь на берег, желаю вахтенному и провожающим счастливого плавания. Пока никто не посылал. Наверно, это как у североамериканских негров: они в кино друг дружку всегда называют нигерами.

[Evgeny64]

I'm talking about the same thing, but in the navy it's not accepted (they'll just tease you), everyone has their own way, slang is appropriate in certain places, but looks ugly anywhere else.
In their own environment, everyone communicates in their own way, but in society there are generally accepted norms.

I also remembered a scene from, I think, "Antikiller": two drunk characters are discussing how the country is shit; a foreigner comes up and agrees with them, for which he gets a punch in the face from both of them.

[Evgeny64]

An old joke: only Russians can drink vodka with you all night and prove to you that everything in their country is shitty, and then in the morning beat your face in for agreeing with them.

This is an insanely stupid superstition. It comes from foolish pilots who are afraid to call their last flight "their last flight," lest it become their last. Meanwhile, smarter pilots understand that if you complete a flight and crash on the next one, that one, not the previous one, will be your last. Basically, it's nonsense and ignorance.
