Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[inCloud]

Actually, I'm pretty sure this was about downriver Pontoon bridges and halting either Ukrainian supplies or Ukrainian movement. If that river is impassable from Kryvyi to Kherson, that would be really helpful for Russia, considering the zone they are putting the most effort to holding is east of that river. If I'm right, it would suggest that Russia is trying to creatively conserve resources (IE instead of blowing up individual pontoon bridges, taking them all out with a few missile strikes up river). Could be a smart move.

This.

So is Putin planning to defenestrate himself then?

Also Putin, "We are not in a hurry in Ukraine." Might as well cover all the bases.

Russia's Putin: We are not in a hurry in Ukraine

LONDON — Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia was not in a hurry to finish its “special military operation” in Ukraine and that it was gradua…

When the systematic inhumanity of your troops is a source of endless pride. Reminds me of a certain muppet from this thread, who only really felt like posting when there was something to gloat about.

Russia holds annexation votes; Ukraine says residents coerced

The referendums are aimed at annexing four occupied regions of Ukraine, drawing condemnation from Kyiv and Western nations which dismissed the votes as a sham and pledged not to recognize the results.

"Truly remarkable. The contested areas have overwhelmingly voted to join Russia, with 150% of the population affirming the decision"

Mobilization in RF incoming.

Trying to stress that they will "willingly join" Russia.

Currently in Russian Z channels

"Russia will capture(захватит) world(мир)"
"Writ"
"Russia stop it(хватит) "For peace (мир means world and peace at same time).

Without the translation I thought the halo meant the warhawk died in the war he became conscripted for.

That's probably also accurate soon enough.

I hope he's right, because before annexing Crimea and starting the war in Donbas in 2014, Russian TV channel showed a video about "soldiers without markings on invisible fronts". Soldiers without markings repelling down helicopters and stuff... and then the "green men" appeared in Crimea and "it's not us" in Donbas.

Before the "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine, they updated documents on how to organize mass graves. Standards on size, depth...

I don't think mobilization will be a thing in vanilla RF, only in occupied regions. RUAF cant maintain logistics of current forces, dramatic increase of army would lead to collapse.

My guess is that Russia hopes that Ukraine will fear nuclear retaliation if it attacks "sovereign" Russia, which is why Russia is trying to annex those portions of Ukraine ASAP, but I also think that would be a bluff on Russia's part - they aren't even using their expensive conventional weapons with any kind of regularity it appears. I don't think Ukraine will blink honestly, they want their territory back, they are highly motivated and well supplied, and Russia has in the very least lost a ton of momentum if not the balance all together.

I don't think the Russian people will be kind to Putin in the end, or at least I hope not. His ego has made Russia an embarrassment and a Pariah.

Putin's Il-62 was in a holding pattern northeast of the Moscow airport for a fair while.

Defenestration out of a plane would be a new one.

That would be the ultimate burn for that little ****er though.

Putin delayed a speech.

Yeap, mobilization. From what we know so far, for everyone in reserve(basically any man in age 18-60). Will be interesting.

I think saying you will annex the Donbas areas and shoot nukes at Ukraine if they try to take them back before you've even held the sham elections is saying the quiet part out loud.

Putin didn't post his speech yesterday as was planned, because today is a better day to do this, today is...

I think saying you will annex the Donbas areas and shoot nukes at Ukraine if they try to take them back before you've even held the sham elections is saying the quiet part out loud.

It's not just Donbas, it's everything they managed to occupy to this point. They don't even try to hide anymore... "everything goes according to plan"
They are desperately trying to keep what they stole.

I wonder if our resident Zorc is overjoyed with this announcement. I'll bet his gaming skills will serve him well when facing a battle hardened Ukraine.

 

[eran0004]

Is it still forbidden to mention the war in Russia? I mean, how can you be mobilised if there’s no war?

What actually happend to him? Is he banned or just don't post here anymore?

Probably won't be back unless there's an excuse to lionise a Russian success of some sort.
