World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No, it is the 1st time.
Russia has accomplished its tactical goal of taking important local high point and applying pressure on the city itself.
The location is heavily reinforced with concrete after 7 years or so of fortification. But Russians have taken the place.
This article is just an attempt at damage control by claiming goals Russians did not set yet.
Russia doesn’t have to take the city. Supply lines are targetable by artillery. It is a perfect setup to bleed Ukrainian side if they want to keep the city.
Ukraine is set to loose either way: if they want to keep the city, they will loose lots of people. If they abandon, it’s a black eye.
Given what Zelensky did last winter, he will keep the city and send lots of people into meat grinder half of which will die trying to reach the city.
Am I blind? I don't see him supporting Russia in this comment?
Lol you're coping so hard you replied 4 times, you fucking reek of desperation. "Please guys, please believe my propaganda!"
And your English sucks, Vlad.
I just want to see control scheme.
I got what i was looking for.
Statements in the above comment are not connected to reality.
It is good to know that this federated network is not any different than reddit.
At least the beginning of the article sounds better balanced than what i’ve seen here:
https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/10/14/now-russia-is-fighting-to-gain-territory-in-the-east-of-ukraine
Russian troops have initiated a sustained offensive, effectively "encircling" the Ukrainian armed forces, as reported by The Economist.
After months of a slow Ukrainian counter-offensive, Russian troops commenced their own counter-offensive on October 9th, with a focus on the Avdeevka region. According to the influential British publication, this marks one of Russia's most significant offensives since the previous spring. Its objective is to trap the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a dire situation, and whether or not Avdeevka becomes part of the Russian Federation will have adverse repercussions for Ukrainians.
In the event that Ukraine needs to fortify the Avdeevka front, it will necessitate relocating some of the forces currently engaged in the south of Orekhovo. This, in turn, will further diminish the prospects of achieving a breakthrough.
@Slavyangrad
8 years of fortification is lost in less than a month.
Who needs to cope now?
This dude is smoking something apparently
He's probably a Russian shill
