'TASS reports that a shell hit a military camp in Belgorod Region. According to the agency, four servicemen were wounded. Local authorities report no civilian casualties.'

Can't wait to hear the spin on this one.

UPDATE:

Reuters

A shell hit a temporary Russian military camp near the border with Ukraine late on Tuesday, Tass news agency said and cited a source as saying preliminary data showed it had been fired from the Ukrainian side.

Belgorod is 80 km (50 miles) north of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which Russian forces have bombarded heavily in recent weeks.

This is where the main battle is taking place: The eastern Ukraine cauldron, around Kramatorsk.

60,000 fighters are caught here. No chance of resupply or reinforcements, they ran out of fuel. Everything else in Ukraine is dependent on the battle there.

"In order to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations and achieving the ultimate goal of agreeing and signing (an) agreement, a decision was made to radically, by a large margin, reduce military activity in the Kyiv and Chernihiv directions," Russian Deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin told reporters.

Any movement of Russian forces from around Kyiv would constitute a "redeployment, not a withdrawal", a U.S. official said on Tuesday after Russia promised to scale down military operations near the Ukrainian capital.

"We believe any movement of Russian forces from around kyiv is a redeployment, not a withdrawal. And the world should be prepared for continued major offensives against other areas of Ukraine," the official said, adding: "They are shifting gears ... No one should mistake that for Russia ending the conflict."

Ukrainian Troops Firing NLAW At Very Close Range At A Russian T-72B Tank In Mariupol

"Slava Ukraine" has been replaced by "Slava Azov battalion"

The nlaw must have been too close to arm and since all the cell reception is down in that area we can guess who posted it.

Telewizja Polska has drawn a new map with the prospects of Ukraine. As we can see, Poland also set out to bite off a piece of the Square. And it seems, according to their version, that the Romanians and Hungarians will get a little.

Same vid in the background but a totally different spin.

Seriously, what are they feeding them?

I do like when they talk for themselves and do not leave any space even for a slightest interpretation. Present to you Anton Krasovsky, the director of broadcasting for the Russian state-funded RT channel:


Video on Twitter



WOW, just WOW


More from this gem:

“No, we’ll send troops into Ukraine, it’s our land. # you! That’s what you’ll get [making an indecent gesture], not NATO! Don’t even dream of it, animals!

Krasovsky goes on later to shed his smirk and give an apparently impassioned tirade full of indignation about ‘Americans’ (he uses a derogatory term) supposedly dictating where “on Russian territory” Russia deploys its forces. A great deal could be said about the deliberate distortions and omissions in his presentation, which Russian viewers would doubtless miss. He then claims to know that the day before Ukraine signs any kind of roadmap to NATO, that Russia will invade and take what he claims is Russian territory ‘given’ to Ukraine by Joseph Stalin.

NATO has agreed to increase troops / equipment levels on the eastern flank. Currently there are 4 NATO "task force" group deployed (Baltics, Poland, Hungary and Romania iirc) and NATO has agreed top increase the numbers to 8.

The force estimate I have seen, dealing solely with US forces, is upwards of 100,000 US troops to be deployed to Europe. That's in addition to whats already there.

Germany is completely revamping their military and a lot of NATO countries now seem ok with the 2% minimum of military funding levels.

Here, in Scotland, they now fly 4 jets at the same run instead of two they used to...

Lots of 'show of force' going on. 'Just in case' scenario in place too

I'll hope, the next level will not be the military parades


God, they fly them so low that you literally freeze for a while. My nutter naighbour is planning to wave some placards with 'get those ruskies' next time they go.

Just so people know and understand. Information from war zones can become confusing as there will no doubt be info released from the players (on both sides) involved that might not necessarily be true.

As such take everything as a possibility and NOT as absolute truth.
