Now here's an update that deserves a post.

 

Footage of the complete destruction of a large column of russians 🔥🐝

On April 13, the enemy sent about twenty vehicles, five motorcycle groups, and several hundred infantry to storm Pryvillyne and Novosilka.

According to DeepState, the assault was planned for April 14, but they launched it yesterday—and some general showed up to command it. He opened with an intense artillery barrage on our rear, then, in classic Soviet fashion, sent his vehicles charging straight in.

As a result, the entire column was utterly destroyed by pilots of the Bulava unit from the Bohdan Khmelnytsky Presidential Brigade and their comrades from the 31st Brigade ❤️‍🔥

In total, our warriors destroyed 20 enemy vehicles (three tanks, BMPs, and an MT-LB packed with two hundred infantry) and about twenty motorcycles 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Without your help, repelling this assault would have been extremely difficult. Every one of your donations played a part in this battle.

We appeal to you to continue supporting BULAVA—one of the most effective units we work with—so that these guys can keep burning russian 🐽

 

I steer well clear of any videos that glorify the death of soldiers—on either side of this terrible war—especially those set to music as if death were a spectacle. War is not a show. Every life lost is a tragedy, not a triumph. As Wilfred Owen wrote, “The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori”—it is not sweet or fitting to die for one's country; it is heartbreaking.

Did you miss all the other home goals from Russia? Its previous helicopters shot down as well as multiple fighter jets? 

 

 

Friendly fire/ Blue on Blue/ Fraticide are a feature of warfare since time immemorial. This war is more complicated that others since both sides are fielding both the same equipment, but also using unfamiliar equipment

Quote

Former Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Security Minister and current DNR military commander Aleksandr Khodakovsky claimed on November 5 that Russian friendly fire may have caused up to 60% of total Russian losses since the end of Russian offensive operations in Mariupol in mid-May.[14] Even if this statistic is exaggerated, the fact that a Russian commander is publicly speculating on such a damning indicator of Russian and proxy competency indicates the deep challenges Russian forces face. Friendly fire typically does account for a limited number of losses in war but ordinarily nowhere near 60% of total casualties, which demonstrates a lack of communication and command and control coordination between Russian forces.

Trial of four journalists in Russia. The authorities still afraid of Navalny's name.

Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said that he doesn't care what Europe thinks because it will do whatever it's told from overseas.

 

If Lavrov really believes that, the man is a fool. But he's not a fool, and is content to spout propaganda.
