Russia invades Ukraine: General Discussion 2023

Interesting piece

Missed this one when it was put out:

Propaganda channel, but they have interesting stuff daily

Saw this on my way to work

Is this correct (from Google Images/Google Lens)?

Google Lens is really solid now.

Hear Ukraine roar.
Mobilize to fight Communism and Russia.
Unite central and local government efforts.
Turn national and village lands into gold.

I think the top slogan and the bottom slogan are unrelated, probably.

Russians are losing ground around Avdiivka for the last couple of days. It might be due to troops being moved to continue the Bukhmut campaign.

Thanks for the information and the translation, @hansioux! And I agree that Google Lens is impressive.

I’m still hoping those young Russian guys will get permission from the higher-ups to turn around and go home.

Prigozhin is very fed up with Russian army leadership. He was cursing about Valery Gerasimov - Wikipedia and Sergei Shoigu - Wikipedia in his recent videos, showing piles of dead Russians soldiers. Wagner are having huge losses while they are not provided much of needed artillery ammunition. Wagner are running out of men.

Now he announced that he will order Wagner to retreat from Bakhmut on May 10.

He lied and threatened to do it in the past. We will see.

Something is going on both banks of the Dniper river near Kherson city.

If I say what I think should have happened to the Russian delegate, I’d probably get banned.

He should have hit the fat drunk harder

Wow, you beat me by about six hours! Over in the specific developments thread, I guess at about 10:30 p.m., I posted a little snippet from a BBC article about Prigozhin saying he’s getting out of Bakhmut.

I should have checked here first.

News on Ukraine war usually break on Russian speaking media (not Russian government controlled media) first and trickle down to English speaking media with delay.
I also posted it shortly after it came out.

Love it.

Just want to point out, there is a town called Stinky in Donetsk.

I hope if it ever comes down to that, I’d be at least half as capable and composed as Emerald.


Some people actually think those secret documents are real.

Not sure, Prigozhin does seem to have gone totally off the reservation.

They report it happened in late January. Way earlier as his recent ramblings.
True or not, not really relevant to the current situation in Bakhmut.

Interesting interview with a Russian Pilot [2h52m]
Use Auto-translate for Russian subtitles.
Descriptions has handy timestamps.

This guy is quite well educated. He spent more than 420 days as POW. Was exchanged by now.
