  1. "two Ukrainian soldiers awaiting orders to join the battle in Kursk said they had just arrived from the front line near Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian forces are under heavy pressure. “We came to help,” said one of them. Another soldier said he was surprised to learn he was being transferred to the Sumy border region as his unit was so short of men that infantry spent as long as 45 days straight in a trench. The 25-year-old had been stationed in Chasiv Yar, one of the hottest spots on the front line, until a week before the incursion... 'Everybody is more or less happy with how it’s going,' said the soldier, who goes by the call sign Pokemon." @IsabelColes and Ievgeniia Sivorka wsj.com/world/russia/u… Lol this is my payback for my toilet
  2. I assume it's a mix of that and the company funding itself. Nothing has changed with it, so it could be a good buy
  3. Worth noting that Russian gains in the East have not stopped
  4. Oh that's normal. Ibrx is always down on good news, but then for bad news it also goes down.
  5. No CR, but it's good to see Graham still has a spine on this issue "I will urge Biden to provide 🇺🇦Ukraine with all the weapons to win a war that cannot be lost," - Republican Senator 🇺🇸Graham in Kyiv. He called the operation in Kursk "Brave, brilliant and simply beautiful. Kick Putin's ass." And the US Congress said that private negotiations are already underway with Kyiv on the use of ATACMS on the territory of the Russian Federation 👀
  6. About time Google AdSence in Russia seems to be over. YouTube bloggers received an email with a decision to deactivate all accounts of Russian users from monetization. "We will deactivate all AdSense accounts whose country of location is Russia. This means that it will be impossible to receive monetization revenue through such accounts." Before that, bloggers could earn income from foreign views. Now this will not be possible either.
  7. Tik tokers got one. There's a video showing its capture. ... But it caused chaos among the locals. If only the ambush had taken place... The author of the telegram channel "Stalin Strait" writes: A tragicomic situation occurred in the Kursk region. In the morning, near the village of Girey, a BTR-4E was spotted by locals, and many news channels were filled with news about a new breakthrough at the front and the work of an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group in our rear. In fact, it turned out that the guys from the "Akhmat" special forces took the BTR away from the pigs and were taking it to the rear, loudly greeting their comrades they met along the way. P.S. The tactical sign should have been painted over, the locals have been very nervous and angry lately - they even organized an ambush!
  8. The reinforcements (to Ukraine's POW fund) have arrived! Exactly something I've been wondering in the reply below
  9. To be extra clear, that map gif has been going around- it's very aspirational
  10. Embed of above video for the non tweeters
  11. The head of the Belovsky district of the Kursk region, Nikolai Volobuev, said the situation in the municipality is tense. According to him, the incomprehensible situation with the entry of Ukrainian sabotage groups caused panic. He urged everyone to evacuate the area. As we can see, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to carry out successful not only military but also psychological operations on the territory of the aggressor. More and more footage, entirely from Russian drones, is proving that Ukrainian troops are visually confirmed quite deep in Russian territory. The largest extent I could find so far is east of the village of Sheptukhovka, almost 25 km from the Ukrainian border. I think that the Russian claims of AFU being up to 35 km inside Russia are relatively correct. The Ukrainian thrust into Russian territory is so substantial that the Ukrainian artillery has to be deployed inside Russia in order to stay in firing range of the front line. The situation in this sector shows what Russians were likely trying to achieve in Kharkiv region. They wanted to have tubed artillery in range of Kharkiv City, but then ended up being bogged down in Vovchansk. What would you do if you saw this coming towards you?
  12. As a reminder, conscripts aren't supposed to take part in active combat, but perhaps the Russians are trying to get around this by saying they aren't supposed to take part in combat outside of the country. According to Russian Telegram channels, panic reigns in the border areas of Russia's Kursk region, where fighting has been going on all week. ‼️Russian media have introduced a new term: "voluntary evacuation". ◾️ there are no police, firefighters, medics or representatives of the Russian administration; ◾️Russian settlements, according to official information, have been abandoned by more than 76,000 people; ◾️ most people left on their own, as there was no organized evacuation, contrary to the Russian authorities' statements; ◾️ depopulation of villages became a catalyst for rampant Russian looting among the remaining population. "Stores are being looted, there is a collapse in Korenevo, Magnit has just been robbed. No water, no gas, no light. There was no organized evacuation, and if there was any, why haven't we in Lobanovka [Korenevsky district] heard anything about it?" - a local resident wrote. The situation is similar in other Russian border municipalities. Residents say that representatives of the administration have provoked a collapse in the border areas themselves by leaving people to their fate. At present, the administration of Korenevsky district of Russian Kursk region cannot be reached. People are forced to self-organize in order to protect themselves and their property and perform the functions of state and law enforcement authorities. ◾️ Residents of Kursk region who were affected will be paid 10,000 rubles each, that's about $100. Apparently, Russia has money only for contract soldiers and for war. Russia is gradually returning into the 1990s. In the video, a Russian journalist shares about cases of looting in Lgov, Kursk region of Russia
  13. Russian commanders refused to move conscript soldiers to the rear in Kursk region. They are considered a combat unit - Russian Agentstvo media. According to the media, the unit consisting of conscripts receives battle orders, and their commanders refuse to move them to the rears. There has been no confirmation that conscripts already take part in combat. Families of many conscripts in Kursk region reported that they cannot contact them at the moment. A Russian petition to remove conscripts from Kursk region has gathered about 3,500 signatures. 📷: 22 year old Nikita Dobrynin, Russian conscript who was killed in the Kursk direction. He is the first officially confirmed conscript to be KIA in that area.
  14. Just to put things into perspective: It took Russians almost a year and between 70,000 and 100,000 WIA / KIA in casualties to take 390 square kilometers (150 square miles) in the Avdiivka sector. They hailed this as a "genius" move. Ukrainians took in 5 days more than 470 square kilometers (180 square miles) in Kursk, with no significant losses, according Russian claims even up to 700 square kilometers, and there is no sign of them stopping.
  15. Yeah, it'd have to be in conjunction with giving up swathes of land back too.
  16. You give our nuclear power plant back, we'll give you yours
  17. Footage from the operation in the Kinburn Spit The GUR releases video footage of a recent landing operation on the Kinburn Spit. They report that on August 9, 2024, Ukrainian special forces conducted a successful raid on the Russian-occupied Kinburn Spit, destroying six enemy armored vehicles and eliminating around 30 Russian soldiers. The operation involved multiple special units, supported by the Ukrainian Navy and other security forces. During the mission, Ukrainian forces attacked key Russian positions and raised the Ukrainian Military Intelligence flag near a landmark on the spit.
  18. Awesome. Shows how well-planned this entire operation was
