Russia Ukraine Update Thread - part 2

a reply to: Xcathdra


"After Bucha, Borodianka, Mariupol, there can be no business as usual with Russia, dear presidents and prime ministers," Polish President Andrzej Duda said during his speech in Verkhovna Rada. "Poland will do everything it can to help Ukraine become a EU member."


Is russia still claiming that Poland is going to invade Ukraine?

I don't know how reliable a source Hal Turner is,but he seems to think Polish Army troops(or possibly mercs)have moved into Ukraine-

Staggering reports are coming in claiming two (2) battalions of Polish Army troops have entered Ukraine covertly. Overnight, 2 battalions of Polish infantry moved out from Kyiv the day before and have already reached Pavlograd.

Two or more companies make up a battalion, which has 400 to 1,200 troops and is commanded by a lieutenant colonel. The battalion is the smallest unit to have a staff of officers (in charge of personnel, operations, intelligence, and logistics) to assist the commander.
Each battalion inside Ukraine is said to have 4 Rapira anti-tank guns, armored personnel carriers, and American armored personnel carriers. Currently, the Polish infantry is being prepared for the transfer to the Avdeevsky front. Whether we are talking about regular troops or mercenaries, it is difficult to say now.
Some reports are claiming the Poles are Mercenaries, who were waiting for the US $40 Billion in Ukrainian "aid" to be approved before moving into action.
That was approved formally late this past week.

He also says there are reports of the UK and USA spec ops are operating in eastern Ukraine.

I am hoping the report is not accurate but who knows.

Along with all of Russia's other lines.


This is interesting (and a massive issue for Putin if its accurate).

Putin survived an assassination attempt after he invaded, Ukraine intelligence official says

Russian President Vladimir Putin survived an assassination attempted launched not long after he invaded Ukraine, according to Ukraine's top military intelligence official.

Kyrylo Budanov told the Ukrainian newspaper Ukrainska Pravda: "There was an attempt to assassinate Putin" in March.

The newspaper also published an English version of the comments.

Per Pravda's translation, Budanov said:

"There was an attempt to assassinate Putin… He was even attacked, it is said, by representatives of the Caucasus, not so long ago. This is non-public information. [It was an] Absolutely unsuccessful attempt, but it really happened… It was about 2 months ago.

The region the supposed assassins are from - the Caucasus.

No Polish military forces are invading Ukraine.

Perhaps he was confused by the convoy of 250 tanks that Poland just delivered to Ukraine?




There is zero evidence of U.S. or UK forces of any type inside Ukraine, but I am aware of at least one former U.S. 'spec ops' that recently returned from his 2nd tour as a special volunteer (he happens to speak near fluent russian so he is deployed differently from other volunteers), and he doesn't travel alone (That's all he's publicly said about it).

One of his buddies has repeatedly hinted that the guy above was responsible for some pretty spectacular 'events' that caused a good deal of speculation in the Update thread at the time though.

Did I mention that he's also qualified to fly a few russian helicopters?




No need for actual American operators with guys like this volunteering.

And there is no evidence of any American forces inside any part of Ukraine, regardless of how many fake russian videos say otherwise.

Thanks for the heads up!

I figured it sounded somewhat far fetched.

Russian diplomat resigns over Putin's "witless war".

Who was also a FBI informant at one point in the '00's. Never confirmed but there is enough evidence for me to believe that the claim is true.

Some Russians no longer wish to live in Putins world of illusion.

From your link.

Russia’s counsellor to the UN in Geneva has resigned over the "bloody, witless and absolutely needless" fighting in Ukraine, making him the country's most senior diplomat to defect over the war.
In a resignation letter , Boris Bondarev said he had seen "different turns" of his country's foreign policy over his 20-year career "but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on 24 February", when Russia launched its attack.

Calling the level of "lies and unprofessionalism" in Russia's Foreign Ministry "catastrophic", he said Vladimir Putin's war was "not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia".

The statement he released is scathing, to put it mildly.

No but I think it's naive to believe that a few folks with day jobs with a job description that reads "that's classified" are not in Ukraine. We, the west, would be stupid to not have them there. The one's that give us EZ plausible deniability type folks.

Not our active duty SOF folks but the agencies that hire the SOF folks after their tours are up.

nvm already posted.

Not worth the risk easier to just send them to Poland and train Ukrainians there instead. Then you can have them radio for advice if necessary I'm sure sat phones will be in use. You don't want to hand Putin a possible Public Relations win or an excuse to escalate further.

Looks like Russia has possibly lost another General.

Kanamat Khuseevich Botashev – Major General of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. His plane was hit over the Luhansk region.

So it's just your opinion then, based on supposition, rumors, and guesses?


Exactly what I've been saying for 3 months.


Those things are not the same as 'evidence'.
