How come these buildings have survived . I thought that Mariopul was flattened. Maybe they are Teflon quoted?
For the first time in many decades this directly applies to the German government. By holding off weapons support for Ukraine and buying Russian oil... they need to ask themselves this question.
I hope she gets out, or better yet has gotten out. Of the other Russian youtubers I've seen that have expressed their opposition to this war they did so after they got the hell out of Dodge. Watching that I would be worried for her and can understand her mum's warnings about going to protests and all that. Flip it around and imagine an Irish person wandering around a scrapyard in Ireland speaking Russian, expressing pro Russian sentiments and putting it up on youtube. They'd almost certainly get some backlash and we're not a paranoid autocratic police state who just started a war, locked down free discussion and arrests citizens for holding up blank sheets or giving away free books.
AHHHHHH! It all makes sense to me now (others may have copped this much earlier). What Putrid wants is to be able to replace the Russian flag with the USSR flag. He wants to be the one to say I brought sexy the USSR back. He needs to enslave satellite countries for this. FFS! What a gimp. All this for a piece of cloth, because the USSR was the last time they were "respected".
Well, Wibbs, you'll soon be able to add another astonishing achievement to Russia 😛. Genius Scientist Putin is going to send the entire Russia back to the 1970s - that's some time travelling achievement.
Yet another post for the Russians to use to make its case re upping the ante
Nervously looking out for updates this morning.
And over in Kherson
Looks like Russia is going to have its hands full in the Donbass too.
Why
Long term, Ukraine might be more stable without them. The west may be less nervous about building up the Ukrainian military without them.
Russians still losing buckets of equipment in the east.
Can't beat good intelligence.
I've the same cover on my phone and when I dropped it the screen smashed!! SHENANIGANS
Russia once again making themselves look foolish
I'm okay with this though
I presume buildings on the outskirts are intact? The vid could have been made anywhere.
The scary thing is you might not be far off the mark there.
Thought that it was previously said essentially every building had been damaged throughout the city. Of course there will be one which isn't and is then shown in the future as how the city endures, but would seem a little bit of overkill to have taken a bunch of captured soldiers out to find that one building and then video them in front of that, rather than showing them all dishevelled and beaten in front of some ruins. The whole point of the video being to show that you've "won".
You may want to catch up about Azov. https://youtu.be/2gNp0PfK0CI

Was that from the Orc perspective?
No idea. They all seem to be winning and losing at the same time.
Claims in that twitter thread it's old training footage?
hungary today repeating they wont back any eu oil/gas sanctions against russia....
can eu go it alone and implement sanctions without them or is 100% unanimity needed
Lots of decisions based on qualified majority, so I'd say they can. Hungary close to being in the EU in name only.
.
In or around Donbas, they rounded up all the musicians, took away their papers stuck a uniform on them, gave them an AK and sent them to the front without training.
I've heard people saying just to boot them out, but I think doing so (if it could be done) would have to be taken on balance. The country acts as something of a land link between the western EU and eastern EU, so leaving the EU could make trade and movement of people between those two areas a little more of a headache. OK, we can work around that, but Hungary leaving the EU leaves them even more open to being the Russian ally they seem to flirt with being, one in the very heart of Europe. OK, we can isolate them, but Hungary aren't the only EU country who are lurching to the right and with Le Pen on the verge in France may not even be the only one with a creepy reticence to put it up to Russia. Getting rid of any country who does either or both of these things, would potentially lead to a greatly diminished EU, which is exactly what Russia wants. They want a divided Europe and to extend their sphere of influence at least up to the Elbe.
I think Russia being a sphere of influence is goosed. They'll have bigger issues in years to come.
However, Orbán is only one man and wont last forever, and I wouldn't be in favour of kicking Hungary out... but, would reduce/cut off aid to them. There's no point financing an anti EU EU country.
His screen smashed too, so consistent.
Seems a bit white-washy to me.. like the bit where they are talking about the Azov Wolfsangel symbol and how it's a pagan symbol and not seen as fascist in the Ukraine.. and never mention how its overlaid over yet another Nazi symbol, the sunwheel.
They might be good fighters but they also had torturers, looters and rapists (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights) and honest to god Nazis within their ranks.
