Video of a russian butchering the dead body of a Ukranian with an axe on Reddit r/UkraineConflict in an attempt to intimidate. Stomach turning animals.
whole column taken out by a leopard 2 tank
of course captured on video unlike the fantastical claims made by friend of Putin
Russian business people have been saying it like it is for some time now.
They been banned by Putin and are one of the Russian publications in exile
Well done.
How reputable is "The Moscow Times"?

Australia is giving them 49 Abrams. $164 million worth.
Whilst I approve of the ignore function in general terms, I'm also glad to see that not everyone uses it for the Russian propaganda comedians in this thread.
Quite some time ago a regular, knowledgeable poster in this thread explained that one of the reasons they spent the time and effort to reply to this garbage was to highlight the fact that it is indeed garbage, and I agree, I think it's important that someone who just casually pops in to the thread sees measured responses that refute the Kremlin line being regurgitated here.
I appreciate the effort and I'm pleased that it helps to keep the thread alive.
I did that a while back for that other one, wankster69 or something… I think it’s time to do the same to bland…..
Remembering the victims. Cannot possibly fathom the pain of the poor woman who lost a mother, daughter and grandson in one go. All in the name of one man's lunatic war
Imagine Ukraine received more leopard's and Bradleys. Imagine instead of just one being tasked with heroically taking out this column there was 3 or 4 of them. Ukraine with the lack of supplies have to make do. Hurt them as they attack but slowly retreat.
I really thought by now they'd have received a lot more of this type of weapon.
Edit: I seen this is likely from November. Still quite recent.
Russia is strong. Russia also so weak that it can be forced to do things like invade another sovereign nation.
Something doesn't quite add up.
Russia was “forced” to invade

Says right here in schoolbook
The NATO trained, NATO equipped 155th brigade collapsed with mass desertions and high causalities when sent to the frontline city of Pokrovsk in late December and was officially disbanded in the first week of January with the survivors parcelled out to other brigades. It seems the same thing has happened to the 157th brigade, again NATO trained and NATO equipped. Forbes reports the 157th was sent to Pokrovsk (again) and promptly collapsed (again).
I recall writing bout Pokrovsk teetering on being taken back in August or thereabouts; despite the various 'collapses' they still hold it.
What you post isn't just one story, it automatically tells another; and it doesn't look favourably on Russian forces.
Two posts in as many days. We're being spoiled with concerning comedy 😂😂
Anyway, looks like a slight shift in stance from Israel. Need to get shifting a little more -
As the war in Ukraine continues, reports indicate that Israel is providing Ukraine with Soviet and Russian-made arms that were previously seized in Lebanon.This development suggests a possible shift in Israel’s stance on the war, as the country has largely maintained neutrality since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Israel Supply Ukraine With Captured Russian Weapons
Very concerning, so three more days?
Forbes is reporting the disintegration of another Ukrainian brigade. The NATO trained, NATO equipped 155th brigade collapsed with mass desertions and high causalities when sent to the frontline city of Pokrovsk in late December and was officially disbanded in the first week of January with the survivors parcelled out to other brigades. It seems the same thing has happened to the 157th brigade, again NATO trained and NATO equipped. Forbes reports the 157th was sent to Pokrovsk (again) and promptly collapsed (again).
From Forbes:
In the 157th Mechanized Brigade, “everyone is new.” It’s no wonder, then, that the 157th Mechanized Brigade was falling apart as it arrived in Pokrovsk. There were reports of brigade troopers taking one look at their trenches—and promptly abandoning their positions.
“The situation in the 157th Mechanized Brigade mirrors that of other brigades in the 150th series,” noted Militaryland, a collective that tracks the Ukrainian military force structure. “Soldiers were taken during the formation process, units hastily deployed to the front and sent without proper training, resulting in heavy casualties.”
The point about the other 150 series brigades seems to also be occurring with the 153rd brigade. There are reports of the soldiers of that brigade already complaining about organisational problems, poor leadership, lack of supplies etc and that desertions have begun to spike in that brigade too. The Ukrainians have also launched an investigation into the 156th brigade, due to supposed significant shortcomings in the unit.
The Kyiv Independent recently ran an article where the Ukrainians complained about the standard of training offered by NATO as being not fit for the realities of modern warfare. In one particularly damning comment, it was said the only thing NATO can provide that is useful for training is the maintenance manual.
The realities of modern warfare show that foreign training, unless adapted to Ukrainian conditions and integrated with unit practices, is not only ineffective but dangerous. Ironically, our soldiers — mechanics, drivers, tankers, artillerymen, grenade launchers, and machine gunners — often teach NATO instructors how to operate the equipment provided. All we truly need from our partners is a proper maintenance manual.
It's not only the 150 series that are being routed however. The Kyiv Independent also reported that soldiers of the 110th brigade abandoned their wounded when fleeing Velyka Novosilka.
Two soldiers from the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade, which is currently defending Velyka Novosilka and facing a similar fate, have recounted how they had to leave behind dozens of their wounded comrades in order to increase their own chances of survival.
This might all explain the recent uproar in Ukraine over Budanov's (Ukrainian head of military intelligence) reported comments to Ukrainian lawmakers about the prospects in the war. He apparently told them in a matter of fact way that Ukraine needed peace by the summer, that if nothing changed then the front lines would collapse. Some early reports claimed he said or Ukraine would be destroyed, but it was corrected to just the collapse of the front lines.
have you forgotton to what happened that health insurance executive one early morning recently on his way. Walking from his hotel to a conference?
Yeah, your man's three day war is going perfectly according to plan. Apparently.
The tragedy is that in today's partisan political and socio-economic landscape, so many people will just accept those words as fact simply because they were spoken. Critical thought seems like a quaint concept. Trump knows exactly how to play the game. The sooner old age catches up with him and he shuffles off this mortal coil the better for humanity. Unfortunately it looks like we're stuck with Musk for a lot longer.
Yep-
Must have good generators on Orwell road
I and good chunk of country still have no power, water and mobile signal that comes and goes
Which btw makes it easier to empathise with Ukrainians who had to live for years under targeted attacks against their infrastructure by Russian Criminals and Orcs, whom these skid marks defend
With regard to our recent input of Kremlin-approved scutter: the ignore button is a wonderful thing.
More news about the Orc economy.
Without a moral perspective people will be scattered to the four winds, thinking only of what they can get out of it. Realpolitik.
😂
Okay, I'll play ball just this once to highlight how insane your ramblings are.
If Toretsk has actually fallen (which I don't believe for one minute as the orcs always lie), you do realise that it took the orcs 8 months to take one small town? Don't believe? Go check for yourself, the attacks on Toretsk started in June last year.
You're also totally and deliberately ignoring the footage of Ukrainians still contesting Toretsk and annihilating the orcish hordes. Badly equipped ruzzian cannon fodder being mowed down in a devastating Ukrainian counter attack.
5% of the orc refining capacity destroyed.
Years ago I was working with a bunch of Poles in a crew, not many had English so they tended to lunch together but one guy would lunch with us, asking us questions the whole time. Anyway after a while it dawned on us that none of the Poles ever really conversed with this lad, so eventually we found via others that back in Poland this guy would be of the old Soviet thinking Polish and just generally weren't trusted.
By the way he constantly asked us questions i wouldn't be surprised if his dad had been a Soviet interrogator.
Heard of a German man (former east german) in his 70's involved in cereal seed breeding. Who took it upon himself to go to Moscow recently to as he says relearn his Russian as he is convinced Putin and the Kremlin are going to be controlling europe again and wants to be on the good side of the Russians. The same man most likely up to all this time would be a russian spy and feeding information back to his handlers in russia and probably looking for anyway to undermine what is in europe at the moment.
When I heard this I was nearly impressed first by his optimism that he must believe he'll live forever. But then that cooled off by how much a pr1ck of a man he must be and he probably has a list of people he'd like to have executed/disappeared if the russians came back. They live among us.
Do you realize that your brain can go into a complete lockdown from the tedium of writing this stuff?
