  1. Pretty remarkable
  2. I've seen many reports expressing this sentiment A highly placed Zelensky admin source to me: “Keeping the Americans in the dark was also key to keeping the Russian intelligence services and army from being able to prepare. “We have learned some very hard lessons from the events of the previous counteroffensive,” a highly placed member of Zelenskyy’s team informed Tablet. “Last summer we told everyone what we were going to do and we all know how that turned out. Everyone knew what we were going to do and in which location we intended to strike. There is definitely something to be learned from the Israeli example of acting first and only later explaining what you are doing.” My latest: tabletmag.com/sections/news/… No CR. The decree is legit. BREAKING: PUTIN JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL DECREE—INVITING PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE WHO ARE FED UP WITH THE GLOBALIST, NEOLIBERAL NIGHTMARE TO SEEK SANCTUARY IN TRADITIONAL RUSSIA! This new decree blows the lid off the establishment's agenda, letting freedom-loving folks bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense like language tests or history exams. If you're ready to reject the insane policies of your home countries that push these destructive, anti-human, neoliberal agendas, Russia is rolling out the red carpet! The Russian government is about to compile a list of countries poisoning minds with these twisted ideals, and the Foreign Ministry is gearing up to issue visas to true patriots as soon as September! It's time to stand up for spiritual and moral values! Source: Tass
  3. The 🇷🇺#Russians claimed yesterday that they hit and and destroyed a 🇺🇦#Ukrainian M270 MLRS in #Sumy oblast. Today it turned out that it was a 🇨🇿#Czech-made decoy from Inflatech. The torso of the decoy is made of synthetic silk, they radiate heat exactly in the places where they have a "motor", so they deceive even thermal cameras. It also contains metal fibers, so the decoys show the same radar image as the original. In addition, they are resistant to damage. Even a 20cm hole will not compromise their final shape and the model will not crack.
  4. If I recall, Russia tried to use it as a threat earlier on in the war as a way of diverting Ukraine's troops and resources but I haven't heard much from there since the first year or so
  5. Yeah I couldn't even post that one, I just had to move along. Looks like that section being cutoff by Ukraine is going to get pushed: Russian regime TG channels report that the Russian border checkpoint of Tetkino has been wiped out by HIMARS missiles. They are not disclosing the extent of the damage or casualties. Overall, it is obvious that Ukrainian forces are softening up the Russian lines in the Glushkovo district south of the Seym river, making this area increasingly difficult to be held by the Russian army. The battles in the Korenevo sector are ongoing. It needs to be added that Russians frequently call HIMARS the culprit, when one of their bases gets eliminated. (Tubed-)artillery strikes or glide bombs can also be responsible, and that case are even more likely than GLMRS from HIMARS.
  6. ^story: A Russian who surrendered to the an AFU "Ranger" scout team in the #Kursk area (#KuPR) is given some blue tape and and anti-drone drone gun. It is better that he is cooperating than trying to bring a resistive POW back from some remote area of the front. So I will publicly admit it. There are some smart and reasonable Russians who truly understand what is going on. Unfortunately, they appear to be far and few between. FYI: A Russian DRG team would have shot a Ukrainian POW in the same circumstances.
  7. Abandoning their own grannys and now this Pretty remarkable footage
  8. Recently, Luka has seemed very eager for this to end It's a sign. The gods are angry.

  10. We knew it was happening but interesting to hear directly how it affected the conscripts' thinking Sky News: Russian conscripts surrendered to the AFU to avoid being killed by Chechens They are soldiers from the Russian 488th Motorized Rifle Regiment, which is made up mostly of conscripts. As they fled, they were shot at by Chechen forces on the Russian side, who were "there to prevent them from running away". "They went the other way, back to the enemy and surrendered. So a whole company of young conscripts, all 18-, 19-year-old boys, surrendered," says security and defense analyst Michael Clarke. Glide bombs going the other way is nice
  11. Haha yes, I've seen him
  12. I've never actually seen what Dom looks like. Much younger and normal looking than the older surly man I had pictured.
  13. "The head of the prison, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to ensure the prison location would not be revealed, said 320 Russians have passed through the facility in the past 10 days on their way to other prison camps in Ukraine. The vast majority are young conscripts, the official said, with only around 20 percent identifying as contract fighters or otherwise mobilized soldiers." @siobhan_ogrady Tetiana Burianova @maryilyushina @s_morgunov washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/… "With a bandaged arm, he was among several in the room who were wounded. Out of 60 men he fought alongside to try to repel the Ukrainian incursion, only four or five survived. The rest refused to surrender and were killed in fighting with Ukrainian troops, he said. He knew he might stay in prison indefinitely but hoped Russia would find a way to quickly return the young conscripts home."
  14. Different degrees of nuance here, so I'm posting a few. The gist seems to be that no additional military aid from Germany will happen. What has been announced is supposedly going to be fulfilled and any additional aid must come from frozen Russian assets. Germany stops military aid for Ukraine, — Bild Chancellor Scholz, with the support of Finance Minister Lindner, ordered that any further aid for Ukraine be frozen. Current contracts are being fulfilled, but new requests for aid, especially from the Ministry of Defense, are not being approved. ❗️This is not entirely correct, as continued financing is to come largely from frozen russian funds. We all know Olaf Scholz and his many lies in connection with this war. It shows that Olaf Scholz's promises to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, may have been a lie again. Let's hope for the best. Germany is temporarily freezing military aid to Ukraine to save costs, according to FAZ. Chancellor Scholz and Finance Minister Lindner have halted all new funding requests, though existing contracts will be fulfilled. Germany is also working on redirecting funds from frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.
  15. This section (far left on the map, not in green) was definitely untenable.
  16. Crazy footage shows a brilliantly planned evacuation of Ukrainian fighters and destruction of the enemy in Pokrovsk direction. The Russians came very close, but after accurate hits by artillery, the crew of the 47th Brigade's Bradley IFV saved the lives of the soldiers by firing at the tree line. t.me/brygada47/976 I've seen quite a few posts saying it's surrounded at least. Video of Russian POWs allegedly from the area is posted in the thread, but Twitter won't allow embed.
  17. WAR CRIME This is a radio intercept about the beheadings shown in the ISIS like video of the Russian 155th brigade In the radio intercept, the commander give the order to behead 4 people and put their heads on sticks like in the gruesome video. One of the victim is presumably a captain in the Ukrainian army. The filming occured likely near Kolotilovka RT = Highly appreciated, let the world know about Russia terrorism @SecBlinken
  18. I've seen a lot of discussion of the Seym River being used by Ukraine as a natural barrier to both force out Russian forces and defend the captured territory. Sure makes the HIMARS loss more palatable if this pans out. Green below is territory not yet captured.
  19. That is a flattering picture of Kim.com
  20. GTA: Russia "... enemy equipment."
