This is what happens when you ain’t played nobody and are over ranked. Russia is like Oklahoma, facing an underfunded K-State that they’re too soft for. But the longer the game goes the better their odds, that’s how Russohoma gets Ws. Their proudest pre-WWII moment was defeating Napoleon: by retreating back and burning Moscow to the ground. Haha take that you frogs, good luck finding food so deep in our self destroyed country.
In the last 24 hours Russia claims two Ukrainian helicopters flew a sortie into Russian territory. To a border town used as a staging area, and hit the fuel depot there with missiles. Ukraine denies. Video shows helicopters. If Russia did it as a false flag attack I’d have expected some civilian deaths.
Russian troops pulled back from Chernobyl. Six dozen of them with radiation sickness, one dead from it. They were surprised at how little resistance they had met there back in February. The Ukrainians didn’t think anyone was stupid enough to march an army, complete with tanks and digging trenches, through soil that’s holding 35 years of undisturbed radiation.
As the Ukes retake areas around Kyiv they’re finding dead civilians everywhere. Some of them with hands tied behind their back. Between the 5,000+ at Mariupol and the destruction of Kharkiv and Chernigiv the numbers of dead Civilians are going to be staggering. The town of Irpin, once one of the nicer suburbs of Kyiv is just rubble and stray dogs that have been fattened on Russian meat. They mostly only exfil the officers corps(es) back to Russia. I went to a nightclub in Irpin once when I was 16, took some ecstasy, got head from a slut ~10 years older than me, went back on the dance floor and realized that semen shows up under a black light pretty vividly - it’s sad to see such innocent memories stained. Telegram has some brutal war imagery.
When they empty the pockets of the dead Russian soldiers there’s almost always jewelry, just piles of rings. One abandoned APC was stuffed with loot - but really shitty loot. Toys, new in the box frying pans, welding equipment, and my favorite; a bag of transitional post-USSR currency (Karbovanets aka Coupons) that Ukraine hasn’t used since 1998, in bills that were worth pennies then have been literally worthless since 1998. A common refrain in the videos are Ukrainian soldiers asking just how poor are these Russians. Some of the POWs are shocked at how much better Ukrainian peasants have it, let alone the middle class. Those guys would be fighting their own government if they knew how Moscow and Piter are compared to the rest of Russia.
