Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

This seems to be IT at 0:32

If what you were saying was true, this war would have been over a long time ago.

They should make decisions in their own national self interest and stop listening to the bad advice that has brought them to this point.

Even ultra-nationalist fanatics like BK at this point recognise their army has been exhausted, reserves destroyed, brigades reduced to 30% manpower and still, even then, "insane orders" to uselessly attack some no-name village or hamlet are given. He calls it a death trap. On that at least, he is right.

Ukraine hit more Russian oil refinery's last night.

Russian in contrast hit an apartment building in Kyiv and murdered some civilians.

Nothing to worry about comrades- just another 4.7% of Russia's fuel capacity hit.

Wonder what Vlad is being told

I read in the guardian that it’s the diesel storages which matter the most as most of their infrastructure and military runs on diesel.

Petrol affects the average citizen (whom the Kremlin could give little **** about).

If Ukraine were to target solely diesel plants then I can see a reality where Russia would need to import supplies. Now that would be beautiful

Important update. Kuybyshevsk Oil Refinery, not Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery, was subjected to a massive drone attack tonight. Both refineries are located literally across the street from each other, which is where the inaccuracy came from. Kuybyshevsk Refinery has a capacity of 7 million tons per year.

Actually I review a lot of media from multiple sources - even your fact-check/debunking article admitted two interesting things about the Russian claim to hack the UAF general staffs data base of losses. The Russian claim could have been entirely false, with a made up hack and false records thrown together by AI. But your debunking article actually admits the Russians probably did get access to the data base, and the personnel records which were disclosed to date seem genuine. They only seem to dispute the number. I'd still like to see the Russian release the database publicly so the claim can be checked independently, but it looks like the Ukrainians are themselves confirming the Russians did get access to their records.

Krotevych is a Ukrainian ultra-nationalist, a former high ranking officer of the Azov brigade who has fought in the conflict, and a former member of Right Sector who participated in the Maidan violence in 2014 giving an interview to Ukrainian media. He is by all accounts, an extremist with very strong anti-Russian views. Calling him "Russian misinformation" just because you dislike what he is saying is strange.

Russian disinformation and propaganda has always relied on using pieces of truth mixed in with lies. So this isn't the gotcha you think it is.

What is a gotcha is boards.ie has zero problem getting traffic by platforming obvious Russian trolls.

14 people killed of which three are kids

Tell us more about Nazism @Sand why are Russians deliberately targeting civilian apartment blocks?

More of the right stuff

In fairness they didn't say it matters the most, they simply pointed out that the strikes are unlikely to affect the military. But I don't think that's the aim of the strikes anyway. UAF are doing a good enough job on the battlefield - these strikes on oil facilities are simply to bring the war home to ordinary Russians without actually harming any civilians. They also have a serious affect on the Kremlin's coffers. So all going to plan as far as I can tell.

EDIT: and the Kremlin will give a **** about the average citizen when protests start happening, when discontent with Putin starts to become more open and when law and order starts to break down in the republics. A trickle can turn into a wave pretty quickly, as every revolution attests to, and Putin will be well aware of this.

The strikes are working tho, Russia doesn’t have much in way of military equipment like personnel carriers and tanks left (that needs diesel) and often troops and reinforcements/supplies are coming in (and being droned) by passenger cars (petrol), motorbikes, scooters and donkeys

Some of these walking dead meat sacks have to hoof on foot for 20-30km before even being able to stage a meat assault

Last November the morale of the Ukrainian troops was at rock bottom but these days they seem quite upbeat and Russian progress is glacial at best, someone mentioned yesterday attack on new oblast but that didn’t pan out for those guys
