It sure as hell is on the propaganda front, though. I mean, how many times have you heard of the "cyborgs" in the news? Well, I guess, not a whole lot. But on the Russophone and Ukrainophone media they are ubiquitous.


True, but who needs actual facts for propaganda?

Do you expect mass desertion in case of Ukraine losing control over the airport? )))
Ukraine already has mass desertion (Dnepr-1 noping out of the airport fight, nudge-nudge), but no, not really.

@Sheb: Nobody, really, but that doesn't prevent people from trying to take the airport for ideological reasons.

The above-mentioned pro-Russian journalist Graham Phillips managed to nearly get hit by Ukrainian shelling at Kievsky prospekt in the western part of Donetsk along with the television crew of the Rossiya-24 channel a few hours ago.
Some of his other recent videos, where he bothered frightened locals with dumb questions after that artillery strike: 1,2.
His Russian is rather awful, I wonder if anyone in Donetsk mistook him for an American spy at least once.

EDIT: judging by the surroundings (park, destroyed cafe, a bus stop "Киевский РИК", residential buildings at a street corner), the video was apparently shot here.

From over here in Canada, this whole war feels... weird. Unreal. I keep expecting everyone to go "Yeah we're done," and go home. Or something. Feels like no one is actually... trying, you know?

If I may say, Motorolla is the greatest name for a Russian rebel that I have heard thus far.
Fun fact: he was nicknamed so because he's small and constantly running around like he doesn't tire out.

Although considering everything he has, by now, survived, they should rename him "Nokia".

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.

Something is smoking real hard in the new terminal of Donetzk.

Also, artillery flashes all over the place.

So, looks like Kadyrov's guys in France got arrested.... This is becoming interesting.

Why I think they are Kadyrov's? It fits his words and actions.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

I think that the guy in the local Sainsbury's who once sold me rotten meatballs is Ukrainian. Why? It fits UPA's ideology - he wanted to poison the Russian!

Well Russia and Ukraine's fates are currently tied together so closely that there really isn't any need for two thread on these.

Article from The Guardian on Russian troops in Ukraine. Knit, you accept the Guardian as a credible source, don't you?
