What a depressing miserable shithole.
Onions now instead of a Lada
Any square meter of territory taken from the Russians is a positive, but it's hard to get too excited about tiny villages like this. I'm more interested in what Ukraine is doing to hit Russian supply lines and hopefully starve their front line forces of ammo and so on.
All I can say on Bakhmut at this stage is that I hope it remains a strategically-useful point on the map, if only in terms of drawing Russian forces into a kill zone.
Great stuff- another one bites the dust.
Was watching an interesting video at the weekend explaining how much experience Russia loses each time a senior officer dies. It takes YEARS to train a senior officer/gain the knowledge & experience required. These guys are not easily replaced.

Bertie was corrupt as fcuk, but he definitely had a skill for the international stuff and finger on the pulse at times.
However, he definitely should not be our next President.
Interesting interview with Bertie Ahern last year, he talks about Putin.
Though it wouldn't surprise me, I don't see any reputable source for this. In any case Warner Bros stopped screening movies in 2022.
According to Kino, Barbie topped the unofficial Russian box office over the weekend. Ever since Western companies pulled out, Russian cinemas simply screen pirate copies of the movie, 100% of the money stays in Russia.

Progress.
But an eye needs to be kept on the Kharkiv direction.
Jojo Rabbit?
They're still getting them, albeit through less legitimate means. I guess it's a case that the cops have been given an extra avenue for shakedowns.
Russia's done some dumb sh it during this war but banning people from seeing Margot Robbie has to be the dumbest sh it they've done yet.
...
Surprised Russian cinemas are even still getting western releases. Could it be a case of them banning something they weren’t even going to get at their cinemas?
I am reminded of Rule 1 on Page 1 of the Book of War.
Pretty much. It took us about three weeks in Iraq, as I recall before we stopped running for cover at every reasonably nearby boom
Lol.
Hand grenade skills for year 10 students.
Ahh shure, what could go wrong....
Russia really are playing with fire now. That attack looked a few hundred metres away from a NATO border.
Four out of four
Obviously a totally normal society
If one of those landed in Romania I'd get the impression Romania would be forced by other Nato members to say it was a Ukrainian drone gone astray.
Looks like apathy has crept into Nato members and money trumps all decisions over humanity.
Grain traders, investors and farmers worldwide are quietly or even not so quietly thanking Putin for attacking Ukraine.
Soddom and Gomorrah. Soddom and Gomorrah. Russian ideals accepted by the world. Oul Mick Wallace will be our ambassador for change and advisory on such ways.
Not just using food as a weapon, but literally blowing up the food (and/or food infrastructure. This time within visual sight of a NATO member country. The level of sheer spite among Russia's leadership is genuinely unlimited.
I heard about the Russian drone attacks this morning on grain facilities on the Danube. I had to double check it wasn't Romania attacked.
Margarita when asked for a comment.
Not a fan of her politics in general, but Meloni really lays the smack down when it comes to Ukraine
Calm down there. The point was that Ukrainians have to contend with a lot of mines, spread across an immense surface area and front-line. It's highly challenging in the best of circumstances. Some individuals are delightedly leaping to declare a Ukrainian failure because they haven't pushed the Russians back to the sea yet. As mentioned, it's not going to be like Kharkiv, it's going to be slow progress.
It’s not far off letting off a nuclear device to so Ukraine can’t have the land either
Nice selective quoting. You missed the part that said many of the mine fields are Ukrainian mine fields.
When Ukraine take an area held by the Russian's, they demine that area, but beyond it, the mines remain. These mines were laid by the Russians, who would have mapped the minefield for cases just like this. They know where and the pattern the mines are laid in. So the Minefield does not bother them. That's how it should be anyway , but with Russia????
With an immense arsenal of mines at their disposal, the Russians have landmined Ukrainian territory at an unprecedented rate, making it one of the largest minefields in the world. It's estimated that approximately 170,000 square kilometers are now covered with anti-tank or anti-personnel landmines
