The purge of the military top brass in Russia continues.
If you want to get rid of someone in Russia the easiest way seems to be to charge them with corruption, since they are all corrupt.
More purges. Moscow might have to issue an alert for citizens to avoid sidewalks in front of tall buildings.
This reporter was embedded with Ukrainian units fighting north of Kharkiv in Vovchansk and Lyptsi. The account is too long for me to include all of it here, but it is quite gripping and worth a read.
The shelter smells of wet soil tinged with sweat, and severed tree roots jab at the bodies pressed against them, tearing unprotected skin. The ground shakes one, two, three, as huge long-range glide bombs impact.
The team is not the target, yet. “We have just a few seconds to get under the ground,” Anton says. “Otherwise that’s it.”
Hidden in a treeline northeast of the village of Lyptsi, these men, who named themselves after the violent British television drama, are in a fight that may determine the fate of Ukraine’s second-largest city. On this day alone they will kill or wound dozens of enemy fighters.
There are a number of reports quoting a Ukrainian source as saying that Ukraine has redeployed away from Krynky to another location on the left bank of the Dnipro River, although it doesn’t say where.
Russian attempts to retake Krynky, which has been razed, have resulted in horrendous losses of soldiers and equipment.
Russia claims to have captured Andriivka, which is just south of Klishchiivka and Bakhmut.
These Russians are pretty twisted.
They have created a dugout underneath a tank they think is safe from drones. But they have to wear masks because the stench from corpses is so great.
All you need is some gasoline and some matches and you can be a saboteur.
Another ATACMS hit.
Russians go for a swim.
WARNING: The video shows dead Russians.
It wasn’t shot down. It suffered a sudden loss of altitude resulting in catastrophic contact with the ground.
How is it that a fixed-wing drone can lumber across 1,300 kilometers to strike in Tatarstan without being shot down somewhere along the way?
A TOS becomes a POS.
Kharkiv continues to be targeted.
In this post by the foreign minister you can hear a cell phone ringing inside the black bag of one of the victims. I didn’t embed the post because it shows blood on the body bag.
Russian army recruiters must have missed their quota so they are raiding Wildberries looking for cannon fodder migrant workers.
The strike this guy helped Russia target resulted in 64 deaths. He got off lightly with a 15-year sentence.
Excuse me while I play my crying violin for Kadyrov’s thugs.
Should have stayed home.
He should thank his lucky stars he isn’t dead right now and take it as a sign that it’s time to leave.
“This is the kind of trouble Baba Yaga brings us. There was a BMP-3 in this place. We camouflaged our vehicle very well here. Baba Yaga flew in. It dropped 3 ammunitions. One ammunition got stuck in the net: our guys managed to escape. The second ammunition hit the ammunition well , the vehicle was torn into pieces, there was a strong detonation. And the third shell didn’t detonate. We need thermal imagers, we have posts so that Baba Yaga doesn’t fly into our rear and destroy our equipment and personnel,” — the temporarily living occupier complains.
His obituary will say he died while singlehandedly repelling a Ukrainian attack and dragging five wounded comrades to safety.
Tough shit. His assets will help Ukraine rebuild.
I’m certainly no fashion expert, but that dress is pretty ugly.
Those aren’t jellyfish. Those are NATO’s new invertebrate micro drones.
A happy reunion.
Uh oh, the secret is out.
