I’d drop a rock painted like a grenade on it.
Those have the pre-emissions diesel engines. They’ll run forever.
I don’t think it was deliberate. It was probably outdated, if the estimates were from January.Everyone realizes the Ukraine leak was deliberate, right?
NopeEveryone realizes the Ukraine leak was deliberate, right?
It’s very clever to say that out in the open. The target audience for his comments is in Russia.
I don’t think this at all. A stalemate doesn’t do the West any good.I get the feeling that Ukraine has been told that it has one opportunity to get this spring offensive correct or the west will push for peace
Russia just needs to lose...
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine launched an investigation Wednesday into a gruesome video circulating on social media that purportedly shows the beheading of a Ukrainian soldier.
The video spread quickly online and sparked outrage from Ukrainian officials. The Kremlin called the footage “horrible” but said it needed to be verified.
The Associated Press was not able to verify the authenticity of the video or the circumstances of where and when it was shot.
Meanwhile, a Russian defense official claimed that fighters from Russia’s paramilitary Wagner group have seized three districts of Bakhmut, the embattled city that for months has been the focus of Moscow’s grinding campaign in the east.
The video circulating online appears to show a man in green fatigues wearing a yellow armband, typically donned by Ukrainian fighters. He is heard screeching before another man in camouflage uses a knife to decapitate him.
A third man holds up a flak jacket apparently belonging to the man being beheaded. All three men speak in Russian.
Since Russia’s forces invaded Ukraine more than a year ago, they have committed widespread abuses and alleged war crimes, according to the United Nations, rights groups and reporting by The Associated Press. Ukraine has repeatedly accused Russia of targeting apartment buildings in its strikes, and images of hundreds of civilians lying dead in the streets and in mass graves in Bucha after Russian forces withdrew have horrified the world.

Ukraine's outrage grows over video seeming to show beheading
Ukraine is investigating a gruesome video that purportedly shows the beheading of one of its soldiers, in the latest accusation of atrocities said to have been committed by Russia since it invaded.

Every time I see Russia digging trenches I think of the stories about rounding up convicts and hunting down conscripts. I think if the stories about massive supply issues. I wonder who is going to man those trenches, and defend them with what? My big hope is that Ukraine will find a spot that they can punch through a mine field and roll through some conscripts who will surrender by the thousands, just like they did last Summer and Fall when Ukraine drove on them.
It’s Wagner. Andrei Medvedev identified the guys.In general I will believe every bad rumor about Russia, but this doesn’t seem like a Russian thing. Maybe a Chechen thing, or a Wagner thing.
It’s remarkable to me that people think we gave Ukraine shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, Javelins, and anti-ship missiles with zero oversight. Like we just handed them over at the border and said, “Don’t shoot ‘em all at once.”
I hadn't heard of the Ghost Army. Thanks!The Germans fell for Patton,s inflatable ghost army in the lead up to D-Day. I think they were considerably smarter than today’s Russian military.

The educational aspects of this for our military are outstanding. I imagine we have at least 1 of everything at this point.
