Absolute Scenes. Pity the Sky News guy can't really communicate with them
This is the only judo move I respect
Even Russian Telegram channels are admitting that the Ukrainian army are being greeted as liberators - and that the recent "referendum" in the area was a sham.
I’m thinking they’re also mistaking him as an AFU troop :P
(Armour & Helmet + Not a bastard = Probably AFU)
reenactment of the Russian retreat from Kherson. 😅
Yes, I think they think he is military (though he does tell them he is from 'Britanski television') :)
And supposedly a master chess player. I wonder what his real status is in both chess and Judo.?
Heard he got 12 holes in one in that game with Kim Jong Un too.
A decent analysis, though I'd disagree with some of the conclusions, on the impact of the Ukrainian war on the oil and gas markets
end of the world type conclusions, unlikely to come to that
I suspect his Russian chess federation rating rating is whatever he tells them it is.
Like in the Godfather (novel) where the local mafia boss had traveled to Palermo to discuss with the university what marks Dr. Taza would be getting in his upcoming exams. Despite repeated offers, Michael Corleone refused to let Dr. Taza "fix" his broken jaw because of the doctor's well-known incompetence.
the song being sung at the end of the video is this: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%83-%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B7%D1%96-%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0-meadow-red-kalyna.html
It’s also likely his opponents just happen to have an off day when playing him.
He's also the worlds luckiest diver and marine archaeologist.
Of all the most ridiculously staged bits of nonsense. Oh, look, thousands of years on the sea floor and they haven't been covered up yet. Amazing no one else found them, what luck.
Fraudski.
I agree, up to a point. But democracy can have many forms. The essential idea is that a people have the power to determine their own fate, and the rule of law makes sense in this context. I think a people who are free and are able to exercise their creativity to the full are healthier and make a nation healthy. Real democracy promotes this, but democracy in the west is corrupt. Tyranny oppresses people and does not harness their creativity, which is probably why Russia rotted from the inside. A nation that is not free will always be a pathology.
Yes, but how would Patrushev continue if he was elected? Is he going to continue with this debacle or put the blame on Putin and pull out 'for the sake of Russian lives'? I think he would be smart to get out.
he is a ‘master’ - bator also apparently……🤣
Is Putin already dead, when was last time he was seen or heard from, days now, strange considering what has happened
Gotta love the shite that comes from rt comedy gold 🪙.
Putin had a phone call with Ebrahim Raisi
A coward. Never went near the front lines unlike Zelensky. Massive table too in case anyone would have a go at him.
"How much for all of your cruise missiles?"
The Soumar is largely believed to be derived from the Kh-55, no training required
Not 100% about this one ,
But it's possible the Ukrainans have launched an amphibious assault from Ochakiv or Odessa (unlikely but possible).
You've got me there !!!
I wanted to be able to counter any nonsense from the comrades.
A likely option with fire support across the water.
Catchy tune.
Buddy, you're a boy
Make a big noise
Playing in the streets
Gonna be a big man
someday
^ looks like an orange order march..
Kinburn is a sand spit so not as affected by mud season as normal ground. Only 3-4 km by sea from Ukraine. If they land on the very tip and push the Russians in a few kms, the bridgehead would be out of range of the smaller mobile stuff. I guess counter battery fire would target anything heavier from the right bank. I suppose they have air superiority that close to Ochakiv, or at least Russia don't have air superiority. It would be unexpected, catch the Russians disorganised. Daring, check. But Russia must surely have that well defended and would have seen any buildup of landing craft. The clips of fast boats on Twitter in the night, are almost certainly fake. The AFU would not live stream a clandestine operation. It sounds very unbelievable and risky. If it fails, it would take the gloss off recapturing Kherson and for that reason I think it's unlikely Ukr would risk it.
On the other hand would the Russians in heavily defending it risk constant bombardment and loss of their forces there if cut off?
But the question has to be how well defended or fortified could it be ,so far we've feck all real fighting from the Russians , I wouldn't be at all surprised if the majority of their forces are withdrawing deep into Kherson oblast rather than leaving Small number of forces scattered trying to deter landing or other assaults
