This is it,
Unless you follow social media then you get a different story
Depends on who you ask
Again ?. What were they doing last night ?
What’s all this talk about a country being a buffer between AAnd B . Eg Ukr between Ru and Europe. It’s a wery, very weak argument when you consider how far some ornaments can reach . Buffer zones are ABSOLUTLY useless when it comes to damaging / cutting/ blowing up underwater supply/service lines. Cyber attacks is another very good example. There is a very big buffer between England and Ru yet a number of Ru citizens. Have been ‘popped off’ by Ru apparently by being poisoned, falling off a bridge, etc, etc. Under cover agents/ special/partisan groups can also do a lot of damage.
IMO cyber attacks will be where a large part of wars in the future will be fought. The ultimate, main objective of any war is to weaken the ‘opposition’ or regime change. Can easily be done by constant cyber attacks, spreading mis information , cutting cables, etc, etc, etc.
the major advantages are relatively cheaper to carry out and little or no loss in life
Can only imagine the pain she's feeling..
How often do you hear of a bin truck full of mines,
Something manic touched on very recently .
squeaky bum time
Azov were starving in tunnels beneath Azovstal. If they could have retreated instead and continued to fight from another line of defence it would have been infinitely better for the war effort.
Also leaving supplies inside Bakhmut at a time when Ukrainian supplies of ammunition are not exactly abundant, is not a good idea. Tactical retreat of all equipment, then manpower, to the next line of defence (Chasiv Yar) would make far more sense than staying in Bakhmut.
at current rate of advance, even if they somehow managed to keep supply lines open (Wagner almost physically closed routes to west), Russians would still advance through most of the city in a few weeks.
Ask Putin. He probably knows!
It has happened a number of times now that russian advances in Bakhmut have been reversed by Ukrainian armed forces making counter attacks and the Ukrainians have also said they may leave Bakhmut if holding it is costing them too much. At current rates of advance the russian military is going to cripple itself in trying to take Bakhmut. The estimates below show for all of the russian losses listed they have got a gain of 61square miles in February or just 0.026% of Ukraine. Why would the Ukrainians run away when conditions are not right yet for a counteroffensive and they can sit in prepared positions and destroy the russian army from the one place? They may be taking losses themselves but it is very likely russian losses are much greater and that is the reason that Bakhmut still holds.
If the Russian rate of attrition really was that bad they should have burned through all their fighting force by now.
And yet the much hyped next wave of mobilization hasnt yet happened.
We will never get the true figures for losses on either side, even after the war is done. But the Ukrainians likely will have lost more simply due to having far less artillery compared to the Russians. Until that situation is rectified (western allies - give Ukraine more SPGs and shells!), Ukraine are fighting a losing battle.
Russian media reporting that in the last few hours approximately 50 Ukranian saboteurs crossed the border into Russia and have taken civilians hostage in the village of Sushany in the Bryansk region
Supposedly there is an ongoing firefight with local police right now.
Putin declaring it a terrorist attack and convening security council.

Russia media saying they attacked a school bus injuring a child !!
Last open road out of Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar, closed by police for normal traffic ...
Once there not armed they are harmless enough, unless you trip over one, or one falls on your foot......one time I slept on the lumpiest mattress ever,,,after tossing and turning for awhile, I lifted it up, and saw that the bed was actually a wooden crate filled with orange like metal balls ( only they were coloured dark green) covered with a blanket, they were Russian hand grenades, but like the mortars, they were safe until armed. Not sure what would happen if they got hit by a stray round though. But bloody uncomfortable things to sleep on.
Yes you could ask Putin , but as everyone know's, he's a compulsive liar.
Special operation to de-nazify Russia, so all kosher.
Conflicting reports all over the place about what's going on in Bryansk.
Supposedly a video showing that the men are actually Russian sepratists, equally its being called a false flag operation by FSB to justify a mobilisation.
I guess we will see
This is going to be used to justify something , maybe formal mobilisation or devastating attack on Ukranian infrastructure.
Take it we smell a false flag or has anyone heard of this group before?
I doubt it ,,,Russia never had the need for a false flag or used justification for indiscriminantley bombing civilians.
And other then nuclear option i dont believe they can be bringing anything devastating to the table anymore
Ah yes, following the old saboteur tactics of moving in groups of 50 and taking hostages.
Peterson on the German 'freak show'-
Tell that to the Chechens and Syrians
It's all over social media .
I'm not buying it ,smells of fsb
deep fake .....
Reports of hostages have been dismissed as just rumors.
This is in the context of Ukraine.
I did not reply to an observation made regarding Syrians or Chechens.
Fair balls to ya ,
I'd be happy going for a long walk to find acomfortable tree to sleep against, even if they weren't armed I'd still be nervous watching that ,
Even with firearms, even when I know I've cleared a gun and know it's completely safe I still dry fire with caution,
There is a video of some of the "saboteurs" in Bryansk from today
located to Lyubchany , in border area
The last 24 hours are the first time the lines haven't moved around Bakmut in a week.
Still looks like this though:
It's a 3.5km distance between the northern and southern Russian lines on the West of the city.
Ukranian intelligence predicted something like this a week ago. This article is from Feb 23rd
Chernihiv oblast is in Northern Ukraine. Bryansk is on the other side of the border from it
