Both sides look like it's in Latvia. Not saying it's it but it could be a bridge over the Kudupe.
Looks like it's more to dissuade tourists having an excuse right on the border.
That depends on if they are able to produce more,because they most certainly would need some in reserve if NATO gets involved
250000$ is pocket money for him,it should be much higher
And it should be dead or alive
I said here yesterday Russia looks like a country in terminal decline. They are far more isolated on the international stage than apartheid South Africa ever was. It's nigh on impossible to imagine a scenario where Russia emerges from the war and rebuilds and becomes powerful again (I don't think this point has even remotely registered with the millions of serfs yet though - they are too brainwashed by the regime.....they're not aware of how bad things are going to get or that their country is a busted flush).
professor Clarke gives a good update of the situation in Ukraine as usual
Wagner group is once again suffering heavy losses in Bakhmut
Ukraine is still holding the kinburn Peninsula,and it could be vital for their offensive in Crimea
when Russia is your neighbour you need this-

Mobile substations are a perfect solution, whenever utilities and industries need to provide interim grid connections and temporary power supplies.
Ukrainians are retreating from Kherson, Russia has stablised the situation, bakhmut is over run ,the Russians are on the move to take more land ....
Bakhmut is under the control of Ukraine, Kherson city is under the control of Ukraine and the only move Russia made was retreating
Another window left open?-
The war is now being fought in Kyiv and other cities. Russia is trying to break the morale of the civilian population and at same time put more stress troops on the frontline concerned about parents and children etc.
The sooner something is done in real practical terms to stop this Russian assault on civilian infrastructure the better.
Meanwhile, it won't be surprising if plans are being put in place by Ukrainian guerrilla units to infiltrate similar Russian facilities and when the weather is right, hit them hard.
Imagine getting picked up by this and then some lad blows you up with a stinger missile 50ft above the ground 😂
Lads on the casualty figures and how many Russia's are dying and presumably getting injured. I'd imagine the killed to wounded ratio is different to how you'd expect given Russia's tactics of shooting anyone who retreats. I wouldn't imagine many make it back from the Bakhmut assaults for example.
Either they die or they surrender.
Yep-
17-pdr, The way the system works in Ruzzia is that if I send something to you, and it has to pass through 10 hands say (insert figure of choice here) then 10 "commissions" will be extracted from it. If you want to avoid these commissions, and keep your consignment 100% intact, then you must send 10 "presents" with it. BUT .....even that's not a 100% guarantee that the consignment will arrive intact, but without it, its guaranteed it will not arrive intact or even at all. And its all perfectly normal, and expected, everyone knows that. (except stupid foreigners)
Evacuation of an old woman, extraordinary
Crass Russian 'singer'-
I really don't see the point in this limited intervention by Europe and NATO. Europe in particular are dicing with serious repercussions whilst the Americans situation will change little.
The longer this goes on, the more refugees Europe have to house and pay for. A far higher cost than supplying decent military equipment to end this war.
The potential for a nuclear accident increases potentially poisoning Europe or at least poisoning Ukraine which is a significant source of food and will also create a refugee crisis.
Russia and Putin have shown they're bluffers. It doesn't require putting boots on the ground but it does require a significant uplift in Anti aircraft systems, and the provision of ground attack planes to decimate Russian strongholds along the front line.
Winter is the ideal time to absolute destroy the last remnants of resolve the Russians have. Special attention should be placed on decimating wagner troops and the stronger remaining Russian troops as their mobility is reduced for the next 2 months. Once these groups lose sufficient numbers, the rest will collapse.

On a family level, just like us they care very much, and mourn their dead just like we do, if not even more, but except in the clan system, it does not transfer into anything like a kind of movement to influence change, But even so, when Putin announced his "limited Mobilization of 700'000 " that triggered a reaction, but only in regions where the clan system operates, and physical attempts were made to stop the police from taking men. This was only a token resistance, for sure, but if Putin declares a general mobilization, then I'd expect much more resistance the next time. Remember, so far Putin has not called for a general mobilization only because he was (and still is) afraid that it would trigger a revolt. Its his war mongering henchmen who are calling for it now.
Pretty soon people will realise that they are next for the window and decide it’s better to take putin out first
They still have worrying amount of destructive capabilities, especially when you see what they have done to the electrical grid in Ukraine. in a short time.
They are very slow learners.
Been a few rumors that Putin has decided to retire lushashenko and return Belarus to Russia,
Suddenly his foreign minister dies suddenly,
Looking at recent photos of him, he looked fit and healthy and not someone at death's door. Goodness knows what might be going on over there.
Mushroom soup ...
Ref - @jmreire
I reckon lushashenko has been under immense pressure to join the war on Putins behalf or else,he's given tanks and artillery shells to Russia but putin wants blood and boots on the ground,
As it stands 15,000+ Russian soldiers and equipment currently permanently based in Belarus thanks to decrees for lushashenko himself,the Belarusians may think hard about taking to the streets before they are forcibly returned Russia
I've seen suggestions that the FM knew too much and there's talk that he may have been eliminated by the regime for fear of saying something or doing something in coming weeks that would harm Lukashenko.
From 'tendar' tweet:
Due to Lukashenko’s refusal to participate in the war in Ukraine information has leaked that there are preparations for an assassination of Lukashenko. The plan is to kill him and have him replaced by CSTO sec.-General Stanislav Zas who’d surrender Belarus’ army to Putin #Belarus
But even if something happens to Luka, i dont see Belarusian army and people surrendering to Russian army.
Russian forces are already in place and as seen earlier in the year Russia will move more troops quickly to keep lushashenko In power but they can also move troops to remove him too .
It will be an interesting few weeks in Belarus
Seems its more dangerous to be a friend of Putins than an enemy.
Wouldn't he just love to have a multi-million-dollar reward on his head? HEEEYYYY.... LOOK AT MEEEEEE😅 the 250'000 USD reward is an insult!!! Petty criminal status, really. He will lose face over that... LOL.
It's bad enough having Orc rapists, murderers & paedophiles running brutally wild in UKraine, without some eejit posting up a picture of the King of the Paedophiles. FFS!
