The man knows how to work the cameras and rise emotions in people. By proposing business men pick up the tab for the families he's playing on the communist history group think distain of capitalist private business. The "common" people would be hugely in favour of this. Or should in his mind.
Except the things going against this stunt is there's no personal proposal to look after the families from Wagner funds. And the tags shown are all blank for camera.
Must have been one hell of an interview.
When's the last time Prigozhin has been in Russia? Every time I have seen footage of him recently he's been in Ukraine. I wonder does he think he'd be in danger if he went to Moscow. He might think that his only hope is that he can capture Bakhmut which might give him some kind of immunity from literal defenestration.
Just playing the timeline for this month around Bakhmut on the Deepstate map and it looks like all of the buffer space surrounding the city centre have been eaten up by the Russians. From here on in it's going to be street fighting urban warfare. Denys Davydov, who's generally pretty optimistic in his videos, was saying yesterday that the Ukrainians should probably give it up at this stage. Judging by the noises from the top though it doesn't sound like they're going to.

Is there no points there that you question at all? Do you have no critical thinking yourself?
Just find someone on Twitter than agrees with your narrative and post it here.
Russia has immense reserves.... Of what specifically? We have seen Russia being tested, you remember Kherson and specifically Kharkiv?
There's been 1 spring offensive this year and it fizzled out like a fart in the wind, that was the Russian one. I'd be shocked if Ukraine's went that way.
I think there's something brewing with Prigozhin. I'd say the ukrainians sense that too. If they allow Prigozhin claim victory in Bakhmut he'll be more on his way for the crown. Prigozhin won't have the regal touch (posted in a way that Putin is still a mass murdering genocidal dictator) about him but be more blunt and more pressing in his threats. Prigozhin recording that clip means he thinks he's now untouchable. He's gone beyond and out the other side of the few Putin supporters posting sh1t posts about him.
I don't think you make it as long as Putin has as leader of Russia if you're not a master of internal political intrigue. I'm sure he's noted Priogozhin's attempts to gain influence and already has a plan to deal with him if that comes to a head.
I remember you posted similar articles from earlier in the year, similar theme things are bad , losses are bad , unnamed sources,
And yet we see videos daily on the front lines in bakhmut showing the complete opposite,the Russians have been stopped in bakhmut, Vuhledar, kreminna,
But yet we keep hearing the same opinions,
Hopefully kupol spends a lot of time shovelling **** for the next few months, lesson to be learned
That's if putin doesn't have him thrown out of an aircraft first
“9. Expect important news in Bakhmut soon.”
LOL we’ve been told this for the last 6 months!
I will be offline again for some period, but I wanted to make a few comments/opinions, in a short thread:
1. On the upcoming "spring offensive". What offensive? There will very likely not be one by then, sorry. This hallucination exists mainly in media and twitter.
2. The currently pledged (insufficient) battalions will barely be ready by May (at earliest), not to mention it is a mess of barely compatible systems. Everything else pledged drags years deep, into 2024/2025. This also assumes no "fading pledges" and bullshit promises.
3. Russians have immense reserves and prepared positions, of which are yet to be tested, and are built in great depth. Even 2-3 western mechanized brigades is not enough to "turn the tide" - for this it's needed 5x more, at minimum.
4. Offensive actions don't happen in a vacuum, you need primary and supporting offensives, etc. There is no "rush" into a narrow pocket towards Melitopol... The enemy can quickly react to such nonsense.
5. Ammunition is a much bigger problem for the ZSU than for RU. Much of the RU "shell hunger" narrative is simply used to explain away their slow progress, but for us, it's a severe issue.
6. RU will likely lose offensive potential in June/July, and will revert to defensive postures, while attempting to regnerate force as before. I have mention I think they will eventually mobilize 1.2mil inside UA. This is not ending soon.
7. It's very possible for the war to last many years of oscillating defensive/offensive lulls, before ending as suddenly as it started in 2014. Any predictions past a few months is futile, including association football analogies...
8. High risk "surprises" like forcing the Dnipro are not impossible (among other things), unlike believed widely. How effective they would be, is another question.
9. Expect important news in Bakhmut soon.
Food for thought, that will go down like a lead balloon here.
My sentiments exactly.
The Ukrainian officer at the centre of this article I posted a few days ago been demoted for his remarks.
Russia plans to “nationalize” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife’s Crimean apartment in the coastal city of Yalta, said the Kremlin’s puppet head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov...
Occupation authorities in Crimea threated Zelenksyy with a lawsuit in September 2021 after claiming he had stopped paying for his utilities.
Italians could gift him Putrid's $700m yacht as compensation.
Be terrible if something happened to one of them! I wonder could the Ukrainians 'acquire' a few missiles to reach them! Some coup that.
This is what it is. Done with a purpose for the Russian public.
Prigozhin will be the next dictator of Russia. He'll be seen as more realist and pragmatic when Putin is disposed of. The sucking up to Prigozhin by more of the "faces" of Russia has just begun.

Utter clowns!
But yet they go crying to the UN when it suits them taking about dangerous interactions and international airspace and waters
Doesn't make him an expert on aircraft he's never flown or had under his command,
Absolutely agree. I emailed them about it but haven't received a reply. I am puzzled as to how the general could have been so off. He isn't just a run of the milll ex general, he's a former Mig-21 and Mig-29 pilot who went on to be head of Romania's military and advisor to their President. He's even a recipient of the French Legion of Honor and has a Phd. in Military Science. He's got a Wiki page: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%98tefan_D%C4%83nil%C4%83
As usual, and according to normal Russian practice, they do not give a damn for rules, regulations or laws, international or otherwise ( unless of course when the west is perceived as breaking them, in which case its a major crime.)
Who'd have guessed🙄
233,000 Russians have crossed into Ukraine from november last year to January 21 this year. Oh crap no sorry. 233,000 Russians have arrived into Phuket airport, Thailand.
Russia starting to fall apart.
😲
The Russians are making an effort going by the number of vessels over the crash site .
Sad to see former Hollywood greats like Mickey Rourke, Steven Seagal, Oliver Stone, Gérard Depardieu and Nemo going over to the Russian side.
For me it was the idea of aircraft which has a fairly large internal tank and doesn't carry any external tanks not being able to dump fuel in an emergency couldn't be right,
It's possible something got lost in translation ,or the General quoted has zero experience with the Su27 which the Romanian airforce never operated
The same Romanian publication that quoted retired General Dănilă as saying that the Su27 could not dump fuel in this article yesterday:
Are talking about how the Su27 dumped fuel in this article today:
After the initial comment, there was plenty of commentary that it was inconceivable that such a jet would lack the ability to dump fuel, and even before the video came out of it doing so, other evidence was posted that it could indeed dump fuel. So it seems clear that either the General or defenseromania.ro were mistaken in the initial claim.
But it's definitely not the MQ9 that was taken down,
Another quoted expert claimed the Su27 couldn't dump fuel ,
The official video show's something else
