So this is my submission for today's "Over the top anti-rebels propaganda": Rebels sequester girls in Luhansk obast's building, drug them to "do with them as they wish", then send them to work the checkpoint before they disappears.
*coughcrucifiedbabycough*

To be fair, though, there was a scandal involving a brothel in Novorossiya once, IIRC. Apparently, it was an example of political warfare in the squabbling Novorossiyan command echelons.

Doublepost for frontline news update.

Colonel sums up the day:

-AFN troops hold fast in the Donetsk Airport. AFU have gained no ground there and thus are unable to provide any videos to supplement thair claims of being in Donetsk and its airport.
-Peski and Avdeevka remain contested. AFU has demonstrated both tenacity and competence there.
-Near the LNR frontlines the situation has remained, all in all, stable.
-Rebel advance at Mariupol has encountered increasing resistance and ground to a halt.
-Atillery duels have continued pretty much everywhere. Destruction in Donbass towns and villages is mounting.
-The rebels' war censorship service has become much more professional, and the number of AFN's photos and videos from the front has decreased to include as few "unfiltered" ones as possible.

EDIT: Sitrep in English from the much more vocally pro-Russian and unapologetically Soviet propaganda-ish Saker. If you are going to read other posts by him, I recommend taking some diazepam first and then dividing everything he says by three.

Fool! You cannot escape the Ukraine thread! The khokhlosrach will live as long as there remain at least one Russian and one Ukrainian on the internet!

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

That's... actually much more true than you might think. Pretty much everything east of Kyiv used to be a part of Russia at some point in time before being given to Ukraine. Same thing with the Western Ukraine - those territories used to be a part of Poland.

Ukraine as we see it today is a pretty young state.

EDIT: Told you that "No anti-Russian films" law won't amount to anything in the end.

You know, I'd like those Donetsk guys to answer the question 'What is so special about the airport?'

Sure theres the stragetic value, and it definetly had that while it was still mostly intact, but I can't imagine the runway being very intact by now.

Of course though, I know nothing of the stragetic and tactical situation over there, or the stragetic/tactical layout for that matter.

I wouldn't be surprised, there's always been Brothels wherever soldiers go. And drugging is very common amongst sex slavery workers.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I am afraid I have better ways to spend my time :) All that discussion about difference between Rus and Russia is too tiresome to start it yet again.

It was nowhere near that bad. Just a bunch of shady Armenian characters in the militia running a brothel and getting loudly decried for doing so, which lead to most of the non-shady Armenians being forced to leave the militia as well.

Huge propaganda value. The Ukrainian official media turned that poor airport into something like Stalingrad, with ridiculous levels of hype for the UFA "cyborgs" sitting there. Now it's Novorossiyan, and Kyiv is frothing at the mouth.
