Russia Ukraine Update Thread - part 2

a reply to: Xcathdra


That's a fantastic video!

I can't believe I'm saying that about a PBS production, but I'm only a third of the way through it and it's already contained more accurate information and analysis than I've seen collected in one place before.






ETA - I retract everything positive about the pbs production, they just couldn't resist jumping head first off the TDS cliff again.

Haven't changed a bit.

That was my reaction as well, especially it being from PBS. The way it explains Putin and how he wants everyone in the world to see him. How he wants the world to see Russia.

In his quest for that image he has shot himself in the foot. His concern of not wanting what happened to Gaddafi happen to him. Its the exact same reaction Hitler had with Mussolini.

They had some great analysis before jumping off the absurd TDS cliff again.

It's a shame, they just can't seem to help themselves.

The TDS aside the rest was pretty good, at least I thought so.

Agreed.

I was going to post the "What's happening on the ground in Ukraine" info but for some reason its listing US news. As soon as it is corrected I will update. The news updates are From Illinois and Michigan. Granted both states have crime that resembles a war zone...

* - Unusual incident in the Med. Israeli aircraft came under attack from a Russian submarine off the coast of Syria. This is the second time now in the past few days Israeli aircraft have come under fire from Russian forces. Earlier in the week Russian air defense based in Syria launched air defense missiles at Israeli F-16's.

The US is finally supplying Ukraine with anti-ship missiles to help break the blockade.

Saw a report yesterday that the US is also sending Patriot missile systems to Ukraine.

According to information published by US media on May 20, 2022, the United States has approved a new aid of $40 billion to Ukraine with the military assistance of $20 billion including the delivery of Patriot air defense missile systems and long-range artillery weapons.

The Public Broadcasting Soviet.

Infiltrated, subverted, and undermined.

This again?


We are not sending Patriots to Ukraine and never even considered it, this is another russian lie.


It would take Ukraine years to be able to learn everything required to use them, and russia is already mostly afraid to fly over Ukraine anyway.

Would certainly help with those pesky cruise missiles that russia keeps hurling at schools and shopping malls, but it isn't true, we aren't sending any Patriots to Ukraine.

None.

Zero.




Pretty funny that russia keeps creating fake news-looking web sites to promote this nonsense, while also still claiming that their invasion of Ukraine was justified because the U.S. secretly installed Patriots and Tomahawks in Ukraine though.

* - Ukrainian forces destroyed another Russian electronic warfare system.

[Forwarded from Administration of the Head of the DPR]
[Video]
Alexei Nikonorov, Head of the Administration of the Head, spoke about the work to restore infrastructure and residential buildings on the territory of the DPR:

✅ The opinion that all activities of state authorities are aimed exclusively at the liberated territories is incorrect.

✅ It is planned to restore and repair roads, bringing them to a standard state. This applies to the entire territory, whether it be Mariupol or Shakhtersk.

✅ A grandiose construction project is planned. This is not only the restoration of damaged facilities and communications, but also those that have not been repaired since the Soviet Union.

✅ Documents and programs are being prepared to train and attract people to the construction profession. The level of wages in this industry will be radically revised.

✅ In the liberated territories, prefabricated structures will be built for people who have lost their homes, as well as for attracted specialists.

t.me...

I asked if they considered Mariupol as DPR territory. The answer was yes.

Are russian invasion supporters still claiming that russia doesn't intend to steal Ukrainian territory?


Who is 'they', and what makes them think they have anything to say about how Ukraine chooses to rebuild after the russian invaders are defeated?


Where did 'they' get the funds to rebuild everything russia destroyed?

I wasn't aware of either of these until now, that's really serious if accurate, and I don't have any reason to believe that it isn't.

Is anyone still trying to claim that putin isn't a madman?

Sounds like someone is feeling defensive.

Or trigger-happy and half-cocked.

Or Putin is throwing a temper tantrum because Israel does not support Russias invasion of Ukraine while at the same time providing non lethal aid, including the iron dome system.

As a reminder

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.

The very first casualty in a war is the truth and all warfare is based on deception

“In time to help them in the Ukraine”. Does Russia have a hard date they have to be done by? Of course this could-and hopefully will be done soon, but it might drag way out. Russia certainly has the means, and the Ukraine has shown they can effectively fight back.

Yeah I’ve been hoping for a coup or something with him. However, I am a bit worried that if a coup happened, the next Putin could be worse. Like way worse. Like on day one they decide to launch nukes.

Again hopefully not.

Dozens of Russian Military Equipment Destroyed.



Russian Launch Systems Destroyed.

I'm curious how Russia will explain this.
