Okay.You posted a Tweet, I asked for the TASS report not a screenshot allegedly from it. You're playing games because you know it's false and you're lying.
Did you read the tweet?
No? Then I am done with thi argument.

Is he spamming his twitter feed on here and assuming that people will believe the gibberish(Ghost of Kiev, hellooo?)The Russians lie about everything.....so we're going to take TASS, the official Russian news source, at face value? Yeah, nah, we ain't playing these games dude, post the original report.
Makes sense, the low quality units absorbed the initial fires and drew out Ukrainian Units into the open and still kicked the door open for the next wave.
So far, it looks like the main effort is actually at Kharkiv and all other fronts are distractions. If they succeed, good, if not, the Ukrainians are forced to defend them and weaken Kharkiv front which they have to keep if they want to remain an independent country with an independent economic policy.
Then again, all of these could be double feints and the real blow/s will come elsewhere.
Ghost of Kiev . . .
Do you know why they call him that?
Because that's what he is, a ghost.
Ivano-Frankivsk Airbase was devastated by Russian missile attacks from the offset.
Ukrainian air force was MOSTLY destroyed in the 1st or 2nd day, as per Russian reports.
But not completely destroyed. I only counted 27 MiG-29s parked there.
Ukrainians have 37 operational. Which means another 10 are unaccounted for.
Okay.
Did you read the tweet?
No? Then I am done with thi argument.
Even then we still won’t the propoganda for both sides will continue.*sigh* Is this necessary? just exchange info and believe what you want to believe, no need to get worked up, we’ll never know the truth for sure until it’s all over anyways.
OPEC has decided, no production increases, meaning since the US is refusing to restart gas and oil projects shut down in 2021 any attempt to sanction Russian energy would crash the global economy as gas prices would skyrocket.

No it remains a claim with exactly zero evidence; if the Ukrainians shot down two IL-76s full of special forces, it seems like the type of thing they'd want to get pictures/videos of for propaganda. None has come out precisely because it didn't happen; people would be well advised to stop believing what Kiev is saying because they've been consistently wrong and lying at every turn.
Snake Island 13? Turns out the audio is fake and they all surrendered to the Russians; Moscow released all the details, along with picture and video evidence to prove it. Ghost of Kiev? Literally a computer simulation they decided to run with. Seriously folks, when you're taking Ukrainian claims at face value, start questioning why their "victories" are closer and closer to Kiev, Kharkov, etc.
Finally, and this is the most obvious one to me, why exactly would two IL-76s be shot down in this area when the Ukrainians supposedly re-took the airfield they were flying to (Hostomel) many hours before? Logically, they have to be lying at least about one.
Another Twitter update! Keep in mind this is all to be taken lightly
'Ghost of Kyiv' Pilot identity deduced.
After shooting down six jets yesterday, he doubled his kill count today!
Flying north, he shot down a trio of Russian Medevac helicopters loaded with wounded, then a Russian firefighting plane loitering over the Chernobyl Exclusion area, an air ambulance carrying Alexei Navalny in Belarus, then straddled the border region and got a final kill shooting down an airliner at the Donetsk Airport which later turned out to be filled with Donbass Jewish refugees on a flight to Israel (no males between 18-60 are allowed to leave)!
But he wasn't done. In his second sortie he struck a quartet of merchant vessels engaged in probable replenishment operations with the Black Seas Fleet near Crimea and completely wiped out a POW camp on Snake Island, denying those assets and propaganda value to the enemy!
He can't be stopped!
Reportedly Thirteen Ukrainian Soldiers/Border troops? stationed on Snake Island, in the Black Sea, refused to surrender.
Snake Island houses a lighthouse, some residences and a small marine research facility and is located about twenty miles off of the Romanian Coast. Or was anyways... The President has stated they'll all get the Hero of Ukraine Medal posthumously.
Well if the Russian Defense Ministry says so...
Literally he said, Putin Said.
I try and put a disclaimer on my Tweets that everything should be taken with a grain of salt at least...
In that regard then, I consider this whole thing to be a case of a self fulfilled prophecy. Pretty much everything alleged about this has been wrong, even if the central thesis became true; context matters, but you don't care about that because you'd rather score internet points with this passive aggressive posting.
So are all the Warhawks in here ready to admit they were wrong now that the Russian invasion has failed to happen? Remember this, everyone else, when the same tired voices start trying to sell you on the "Russian threat" again.
I didn't take any of those claims at face value lol. Stop strawmanning.
It seems pretty well confirmed that two Russian IL-76 Transports were shot down and both likely occupied with paratroopers and resulting in potentially over a hundred plus casualties.
You all busy trying to gaslight, shame and 'other' people for disagreeing with you on a developing foreign policy issue and then coming in here two weeks later, a Russian invasion and over a thousand posts later and and the first thing you do when you get back is accusing me of being the passive-aggressive poster trying to score internet points when you literally started this by trying to strawman and gaslight people and accuse me of bullshit I never did.
Take a page out of your own book of advice and stop with tracking me down with the passive-aggressive posting, creepy reply guy stalking behavior, sending me weird ass PM's and other gaslighting attempts at emotionally manipulative bullshit followed by this nonsense and it'll be alright. It's weird and obsessive dude.
Then you're either a liar or don't understand the English language, take your pick:

You didn't say allegedly, or claimed, or anything, you directly stated "pretty well confirmed" so yes, you did take it at face value.
Pot meet Kettle, because that post you cited of me was from around February 16th, which you used to make a post attacking me over a week later after the Russians went finally did go in. Literally everything you're accusing me of here is what you have done here, not I, and one needs only look at the post dates to see that. I'm not sure how delusional you have to be either to claim I'm directly tracking you down when you literally quoted my post dude lol, get over yourself.
I honestly think that Ukraine strategically won this war a long time ago, because just look at how the EU and NATO reacted. The Russians burned all the bridges they had. Ukraine, on the other hand, is bleeding its opponent. Tactically it's losing, well in theory, I was looking at what they're doing in the pictures and what strikes me is that they're not focusing on the military columns but on supplying them making it difficult for a Russian attack in the future. And the fact that Ukraine is retreating? Well, sir, the Russians can realistically resupply from 180 km on wheels, and the rate of attack is faster than resupply. The Russians may penetrate deep, but it will be of no use to them if they cannot supply these units safely. Hence, in my opinion, the Ukrainians are actually winning the battles, but they keep retreating because they want to extend the supply routes as far as possible to make it more difficult to supply the frontline units. Because frankly they know that Russia has reserves of units, Ukraine doesn't so they prefer to win and give away ruined territory to Russia. I think that in fact these units are constantly moving back and forth. This is modern warfare, here you go to manoeuvre and not to control the line and earth.
Well, at least he didn't call you racist, yet.Then you're either a liar or don't understand the English language, take your pick:

Huh wierd.
I thought the losses were smaller.
Guess even the Russians agree

Well, at least he didn't call you racist, yet.
He just listens and believes everything the Ukrainian Agitprop and dumps it here, then when somebody has a differing view he tries to act indignant.
I wonder how many of those 4,300 deaths were the result of on the ground battles with infantry, versus being bombarded by air and artillery during the first couple days.
The only thing that really stands out to me is the logistics. It seems that there are several videos of Russian vehicles stopped along the side of the road, apparently out of gas. Or stories of Russians asking Ukrainians for fuel (no idea if it's true). Seems like someone in the planning department screwed up? Or are we just seeing a few exceptions and this isn't representative of the whole?
Proper rebuttal:
Edit: Also, looks like Kosovo is coming into NATO ASAP.
