The Speak the Truth channel mentioned one hit inflicting 200 Russian casualties a couple of days back. It was deep behind Russian lines in the south so I'm guessing that's why it hasn't got the same publicity as the failed river crossings. I've not found any mention of it myself (don't browse telegram channels).
What I will say though is that he has his own sources which he doesn't share and while clearly rooting for Ukraine he doesn't peddle nonsense and calls the events as he sees them. And if anything he's slightly slower attribute Ukrainian gains than Russian ones. So I'm giving it a high probability that this did happen but would love to see some evidence.
He definitely needed some Zen though.
Oh, not just thread suspended, but banned, eh? Hmmmm. Anyway, email addresses aren't rare. What will be his name next time - Something "clever like" beginning with a z or v?
I see his/her account shows as banned, but not sure what got him/her banned for exactly?
It's a good sign he's throwing out signals about negotiations... even if it's the 'they better start negotiations or else' type of offer. I'm surprised he has shown such weakness... We know Putin cares little about a negotiated peace for the betterment of humanity. If he's hinting at negotiations the man is hurting.
The airport in Melitopol hit by the Ukrainians was seemingly no small thing. Reports of 30 targets hit.
Plus at the same time the Russian armoured train derailed between Melitopol and Crimea by supporters on the ground.
He's obviously rattled after seeing Micheal land over......he's seen those old FCA training videos and knows that his puny Spetznas are fecked if Micheal sends them over.
How can Russia expect to be taken seriously with the way this guy carries on. The louder the rhetoric the more desperate the person.
It will be achieved by time. Russia wont always be able to afford this level of military engagement. The sanctions will tell.
BTW, did we finally fully expose Zen something or other... did they reallocate him/her?
I have great respect for what Zelensky has done so far since this invasion started. But lets be realistic here. What else is he going to say? He is hardly going to turn around and say that the chances of reclaiming the eastern areas are slim to none. That would damage moral among the troops fighting, and he may also start to lose support from many people within Ukraine if he did that.
I think he is a very intelligent man, he knows Ukraine needs as much weaponry as possible to keep fighting the Russians, he is trying to balance that against keeping up moral and hope for his people that they can drive out the Russians.
I really would love to see it, but on current evidence I cant see how that is remotely possible, unless their is a massive change in the amount of military support, and weapons they they have recieved up to now.
Maybe the manufacturing of the stuff. The mathematicians and scientists would have been in big cities regardless.
Most of their cutting edge stuff was from....Ukraine 😂
Let's be realistic here for a moment. Currently Russia occupies something like 20% of Ukraine, most of Donbas. Ukraine has made them pay for every kilometre that's for sure and keeps making them pay, but the fact is they are still up against a much larger force. Force of numbers no matter how lacklustre is a very strong weapon. And they have a lot of "dumb" artillery. More than Ukraine. Can Ukraine hold them down and make them fight for every further metre? Yes I believe they can. Can they hold them away from Odessa and keep that part of their coast? Yes I believe they can but will need more modern western weaponry to do it.
Can they drive Russian forces back to their borders? As it stands currently I really can't see how they can. The Russians are dug in pretty deep, certainly in the behind their lines areas. Yes there will be pools of Ukrainian nationalist resistance that will make it a right pain for them to operate in, but a lot of Ukrainian nationalists will have left, or will have been "removed" by the occupiers. What balance of nationalists to separatists that existed before this invasion is more skewed to the latter.
More firecrackers-
The war seems to be shifting in Ukraine's favor now. They need to hit hard while the Russians are stumbling.
The White House may have doubts that Ukraine can drive out Russia, but, the man in charge of Ukraine Zelensky has a will of iron and is determined to reclaim all lost areas. It might be noted on day one when the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine, the US had no hope at all for Zelensky and offered to fly him out of his home country into exile. The US is wrong to doubt Ukraine's ability to retake all its lands.
What a vile scumbag the man is. I don't like to wish death on people but he truly deserves a bullet
Good enough for the scumbags! They're very delicate for a warmongering sh1thole aren't they?
How true...
Hmmm...
By the wonder of technology and the Internet.
This is one of the farms where some of the equipment ended up. Farm taken from the DW report.
Intruiging story for those fond of the big-talk of a Russian-Chinese axis. Russian scientist arrested on treason charges by the FSB for spying on behalf of Chinese intelligence 'dies of cancer' two days after being collared.
Russia and China don't do friends. A cursory look at their respective histories and their bilateral relationship over the past two centuries should tell you all you need to know.

Yes, they have a very rosy picture of what Putin is like. I doubt any of them would want to live there though, it's just his ideology and extreme views they're fond of.
Regarding all the hi-tech farm machinery they stole, and "repatriated" back to Chechnya, it all went well until they tried to use them, but being hi tech, the location of every one of them is known, and all the electric modules have been switched off...now they have the job of by-passing the manufacturers computer systems, or replacing them, and Good Luck with that!!!☺️
Darth Putin sums up well the latest rant...
"We will be outraged when West does what we say they are already doing."
Those who support Putin's views, should go and live in Putins Russia for awhile.... there is good reason why so many ex soviet states wanted out of Putin's Russia. They know only too well what communist Russia was like, and now it seems that's Putin's plan to wind Russian back to the communist era.
So it's far right but extreme left . . . interesting choice of adjective comrade . . . tell me weather in vladivostok, is cold da?
All this was said a long time ago in Putin's famous Munich speech -

Yes, he doesn't actually explain how he is going to stop or defeat Western liberalism / globalism / democracy etc.
Germans desperate to just go back to doing business with Russia
