Russia Ukraine Update Thread

Military Analyst on Ukraine invasion

Putin is NOT crazy and the Russian invasion is NOT failing. The West's delusions about this war - and its failure to understand the enemy - will prevent it from saving Ukraine, writes military analyst BILL ROGGIO

Probably the most honest assessment i have seen in the media there is a much bigger play here then just an invasion he is waiting for something I believe or at minimum testing the limits of the west's tolerance

From rubles to rubble like greased lighting. Monopoly money has more value.

"You really do like to try and control the narrative but never back anything up with actual evidence".

That should win some sort of award for irony!

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Somebody has to point out how fake it all is

Russian tank that ran over a civilian car in Kyiv was a Strela-10 Ukrainian air defense system. NOT Russian.

2) Photos of Zelenskyy in military garb with a helmet on are from a 2021 Ukrainian border inspection trip.

3) The “Ghost of Kyiv” MiG-19 shooting down a Russian Su-35 was from a Digital Combat Simulator animation.

4) The “Ghost of Kyiv” identitified as Samuyil Hyde is actually a pic of SAM HYDE, an internet prankster.

5) Photo of two children (girl in pink with teddy bear, boy saluting) watching convoy pass, are from 2016.

6) The photos of a woman saying goodbye to her man, going off to fight Putin’s Russians IS FROM A MOVIE.

7) Snake Island “martyrs” actually were NOT killed, and a video shows all 82 being transported to Sevastopol.

8) “Her Blood Is On His Hands” old lady photos that were on the front pages of The Sun, The Mirror, and The Guardian are actually images from years ago.

How can any side at this point be believed. Although, I cannot believe there are 10k dead Russians. Nope.

What we are seeing is an attempt to enter a country and get to the capital. If that is the case, based on the actual number of troops in the Ukraine (It is not 8-10 million) not sure where you get that unless you are adding in the citizens but sorry, as much as they will help it is not trained military. The Ukraine is out staffed and out armed.

Russia, to be honest, is holding back in my eyes and waiting to see what the world community will do and we have shown them. Nothing. A no-fly zone? Sanctions? So what. It did not help Iraq and will not help here either sadly.

Full Propaganda mode is in effect.

There is a reason for this we have not seen yet. It is coming though. Soon.

$1 million bounty on Putin offered by Russian businessman

Source

A $1,000,000 bounty for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin was offered to military officers by Russian entrepreneur Alex Konanykhin in a post he published on social media this week, as Russia continued its invasion of Ukraine.

"I promise to pay $1,000,000 to the officer(s) who, complying with their constitutional duty, arrest(s) Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international laws," wrote Konanykhin on LinkedIn. "Putin is not the Russian president as he came to power as the result of a special operation of blowing up apartment buildings in Russia, then violated the Constitution by eliminating free elections and murdering his opponents."

It sounds better in Russian:


I think we can do better and GoFunMe up to 100,000,000, whacha say?

Ukraine posted personally identifiable information on 6000 of the russian dead.

Russian families have already confirmed more than half are legit.



The 6000 russian dead are 100% minimum.

And 100% proven.

Zero doubt.

Grieving russian families have said so.



But 'unbelievable' is the same word to describe what's happening to russia.

NO WORDS.

Young Russian soldier, sent to die, surrendered. He was given food and something to drink, and was allowed to call his family. He cries because this is not his war, it's Putin's.

video link

This one hits the feels the hardest for now. He looks so hungry. Tries to swallow his food and is trying not to choke on his tears at the same time. Mad mad world we live in. These soldiers are not some animals. Putin is crushing the souls of his own people

People are so gullible

How easy would it be to fake that?

If it was any where near as bad as they say they would not have to fake anything and they have been shown to be faking so much

this is fake too

Oh boy...

I hear you. Just don't understand you. Must be a culture clash. Sorry.

Russian delegation on the way to talks with the Ukrainians -Belta agency

MOSCOW, March 2 (Reuters) - A Russian delegation is travelling to a meeting point for talks with Ukrainian counterparts, Belarus' Belta news agency reported ahead of negotiations that are expected to resume later on Wednesday.

translation: you're naive.

do you seriously think ukrainian army would help a russian soldier, while they're at the same time murdering their own civilians (azov battalion), or just straight killing each other on the streets of kiev (civilian wannabe gangstas that got weapons from their government)?

azov battalion preventing civilians from fleeing mariupol (which they control)
morons with guns
this one's from RT, so sure, propaganda - just like yours. if you can't avoid propaganda, at least watch both sides and THEN decide what's true and what isn't

Roman Abramovich selling £150m London property to avoid sanctions, MP claims

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is in the process of selling his London home to avoid having his assets frozen under UK sanctions, Parliament has heard.

Chris Bryant said Abramovich was “terrified of being sanctioned” and was selling his properties in the capital.

Is anyone interested? He prefers cash. He might be relocating.

So what?

Everyone knows that there is propoganda on all sides.

Unfortunately, you seem to believe anything and everything that Russia says.

This war is not fake, it is unjustified and founded upon monstrous lies, by Russia, and people are dying because of Russia.

It frankly sickens me that folk like you keep calling "fake" and support Putin no matter what.

But you carry on, personally, I'm now just going to ignore your posts.

Thanks for the russian propaganda drop, but we've already seen and debunked your nonsense.

Repeatedly.

This is not the propaganda dump you are looking for.



Keep trying though, otherwise we might get bored.

And laughing is healthy.

So thanks for that.

a reply to: just4fun


Is 'sombody' a well known russian propagandist?

Why would anyone care?



Where's your sauce?

Russian propaganda sucks without the sauce.

Bring the sauce or go home.

Awesome. I've been calling for this since day 1. A million might not get it done, but a billion would. Seize oilgarch assets and sell them to fund the reward.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Why does calling out the fakery mean I support Putin?
