Belarusian fighters serving on the side of Ukraine. These ones are also equipped with a large number of Czech rifles. Foreign fighters seem to get a fair amount of foreign equipment.



Ukrainian Air Defence (reportedly a Buk) firing on a target.



Speaking of Buks, here's one supposedly taken out by a Russian ballistic missile.

Those are like Mad Max trucks with the bolt on armor! Must be the Donbass Seperatist militias?

Turns out the Russians are doing exactly what they said they were going to do:

Live updates: Zelenskyy recalls envoys to Georgia, Morocco

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has recalled Ukraine’s ambassadors to Georgia and Morocco.

Russia Plays Down Progress in Peace Talks, Intensifies Attacks in Eastern Ukraine

The Kremlin dismissed the idea that Tuesday’s negotiations in Turkey had represented a turning point as Moscow stepped up ground and air attacks in Ukraine’s Donbas region.

The Russian's sent their own troops into danger zones in Chernobyl, without telling them where they were or what the plant was...

The Russian's sent their own troops into danger zones in Chernobyl, without telling them where they were or what the plant was...

A guy on facebook QUOTING Belarusian tv translated by another guy to an anglo audience he knows can’t track down the source, real trustworthy.

Two of these employees have reportedly witnessed instances of rash and dangerous conduct by the Russians, according to Reuters, with one source calling their behavior “suicidal.” Some soldiers had reportedly never heard about the disaster that some historians believe signaled the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union.

Yeah, sure, soldiers who include a good chunk that probably grew up playing STALKER or have regional ties to the area would know nothing about the Chernobyl tragedy.

More War Porn!

Chechen Troops are firing assault rifles and rocket launchers at... presumably something?





Russian T-72 in the process of burning. Probably not good for selfies.



Heavily damaged Ukrainian T-64 but the crew reportedly is okay.



Pictures of a plethora of Russian landmines found around Kharkov.

Even Russia is using mines that self terminate to be harmless.
Surprising

Chechens are a bit like Orks, they just like the sound and fury of Dakka more than anything.

What is that fucking music, I hear it all over the place in tik tok clips.

Yeah, as I've seen somebody comment, it's practically the 'theme song' of the Ukraine war on the internet.

Spoiler

Apparently it was a hit in Ukraine's electronica scene last October.
I remain confused myself why it's showing up on so many of the war-porn videos--including, I think, some of those released by the Ukrainian MoD itself.

Thank you!

Alleged video of Ukrainian mortar strikes on Russian armored vehicles.



Multiple Post Thread reportedly showing Russian vehicle and equipment losses from their defeats around Kharkov.



Reportedly video of Ukrainian equipment lost during fighting along the Zaporizhzhia area (along the Dnieper River in South Central Ukraine).



Video MONTAGE of Ukrainian drone or drones dropping ordinance on Russian vehicles and other targets.



Reportedly Russian volunteers serving with the Ukrainian forces and being instructed on use of the NLAW's.

North East Kyiv Front judging by the Os.



Most likely done with Thermobaric or Specialty Frag Rounds. An ATGM is essentially a portable PGM when you get down to it.



He is not even trying anymore with the green screen.



Kharkov Tank School is a wreck.



For context, the man he is bitching about is the former Minister of Culture for Russia. In other words this is epic level trolling of gullible westerners into thinking shit is breaking apart.

Russian's seem to have left Hostomel airport.



Also seem the up-side-down tank in the marsh has been recovered, along with the remains of it's crew who perished in it.

Edit:


Looks like the UK will be supplying Ukraine with artillery and armored vehicles (not tanks).

Drowned in an accident. What a terrifying way to go... Hope the families can recover the bodies.

One of the things that stands out in the Oryx vehicle counter is that one Saxon Armored Vehicle Ambulance. The Union Jack stands out from all of the Ukraine and Soviet Union flags.

Wonder what they'll get. I can't imagine the most important thing Ukraine needs is British tanks anyways. Probably something lighter and more easily transportable and easier to familiarize one with.

I reckon the British have loads of Lighter MRAP and light armored mobility vehicles from Afghanistan and Iraq they could offload. That and other logistical vehicles like armored fuel trucks.

Some more officers reportedly perished in the Ukranian fighting.

Rest in Peace Captain Gasonov Fakhretdin, who was apparently commanding a battalion in the Motorized Infantry.



And Major Oleg Lisovsky who reportedly commanded an MLRS battalion in another Motorized Infantry Brigade.



Also apparently the first confirmed deaths in regards to the attack and n the Russian landing ships in Berdyansk.

What about the reports of Russian mutinies and fragging?

Western/Ukrop propaganda/fake news?

Most likely, along with a handful of actual cases that is normal in all Armies.



EU to get gas has to open an account in a Russian Bank to convert Euros to Rubles to buy gas. Petrodollar is dead. Putin will likely follow up by requiring all Russian Exports be paid for in the same way.



Well this was an interesting rescue mission UkA actually attempted. I recall a similar operation in the Donbass War where DPR misinformation warfare led to a similar trap being laid. You think the UkA would learn that Russia has actual encrypted communications, couriers, and untappable field phones and a history of trolling the shit out of people.



Well this will take a little work to fix.



Ukraine's message strategy is disjointed, contradictory, and at odds with reality and disproven quickly.



Yep. US DoD statements should be discarded without question. They aren't fighting this war and have zero actual clue of the ground situation or what Russia's plans are or their OOB.

Guess some reports of his death had come out; seems rather lively for dead man.
