some traps(!) left behind by the Russians
Knowing them I'd guess that's either a school or a hospital.

Not really....at all.Looks more like satellite than drone.
We need to get Hungary out of the EU
STAT.
Viktor. On my permanent shitlist.
Probably anticipating being driven out, trying to hide war crimes (not like it matters at this point)."Mariupol's city council says that Russian mobile crematoria started operating in the city. According to administration's telegram channel, eyewitnesses report that separatists are collecting and burning bodies in the crematoria."
The Russian military's fighting capability has dropped by a considerable amount, far more than the percentage of actual losses would indicate. Beyond the hardware, those VDV and pilots lost count for dozens of conscripts each.Don't know about the Il-76 losses but Putin definitely fed the VDV into the wood chipper. Just massive destruction in a month of his best troops.

Which is yet another example of how incredibly obvious the Russian failure is. If the 'Kyiv was only a ruse, we were after the Donbas the whole time!' fiction was reality, they would have pissed away thousands of shitty recruits and conscripts on Kyiv, and fucked the whole eastern region up with elite forces w/air support, not the other way around.Yeah, I know the idea is "lets just pivot to Donbas since that will be easier" but that's certainly going to be harder than before with high levels of casualties amongst your best troops.
More tales from the grave
Is there opensource intelligence on all current members of the Russian Army?

Heating fuel? Sure. And then a match.
quite a few diplomats have been expelled , embassy in Ireland is complaining no one in Ireland will supply them with heating fuel and have asked for help from the government
The Q's in my family are really going Batshet crazy claiming Ukraine is staging the atrocities, hiring people to play dead in the Ukrainian streets for the camera, claiming life in Ukraine is perfectly normal, and fully believing Putin when Putin says the deaths are staged and faked.
Funny.... when the term fake and faking seems to be the new MO of the Q and for the Trumpie party. They can not accept anything is real unless it comes from Donald Trump's mouth.
IS THERE A PSYCHIATRIST IN THE HOUSE???
I still can not figure out just how or when communism became the preferred by so many Americans, and their trusting in dictators preferred over believing in ones own democracy. Should anyone dare question why they would choose to trust and believe in communist dictators over their own leaders and government they justify their twisted beliefs by using patriotism and personal freedoms. They shout USA USA, while believing Ukraine is the aggressor and Vladimir Putin is the innocent dove.
Things are pretty screwed up here in America. A good psychiatrist is urgently needed, not that it would do any good.
Russia has worked on solidifying relations with both India and China for decades. Russian PR is still working full time in China and India -- they both see vast majority of information and messaging based on Russia's disinformation, with almost zero Western viewpoint in China, and very small minority of news in India even mentions Ukraine, and when it does, it is either a "both sides" story or a story blaming the US for the plight of Ukrainians. India social media overwhelmingly pro Russia messaging (coming as much from Chinese sources as India).shame India is still allowing Russia to bypass sanctions, essentially funding these atrocities
They showed this including him explaining all this on ABC network news last night. Everyone under 50 was summarily killed. He's totally suffering PTSD. Russia has lost its soul, if it ever had one.More tales from the grave

Damn 'em to Hell!

As a result:
10% of Chinese polled blame Russia for Ukraine
India hasn't bothered with recent polls, as Ukraine has basically been a non-issue there other than getting their students out - but earlier polls had ~30% supporting sanctions on Russia, ~60% favoring government stance of doing nothing and staying neutral.
