Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Its a nice read but I'd prefer it if they didn't reveal Ukrainian tactics until after the war has ended...
I don't understand the parallel. When did the British do that?
wonder why the russian educated youth is not protesting ? imagine finishing education and the only job openings are at the military
probably because they don't fancy being worked to death in a Siberian gulag?
A lot of those are trying to leave the country apparently.
While I don’t trust Russians at all and would take it with a pinch of salt, it’s not unthinkable that they have started to form an exit strategy and will try to pull back a little now to maybe achieve more in contested areas rather than go after the whole country which at this point has become an impossible goal.
From what i understand, when russia found out they couldn't take Kiev, the real bombing of civilians started, most likely to demoralize any defenders.
I doubt even satan would welcome pootin.

There is definitely a de-escalation of rhetoric in the last few days which is very welcome.
But, if the Kremlin tells you its pasta, you check under the sauce.
never check under the sauce you will die of polonium exposure
We obviously need to wait to see whenever those words will be followed by actions first but this looks promising.
Yup, I heard some first hand stories of it today.
They've literally sent more missile attacks into Western Ukraine in the last 72 hours than they did in the first month of the war.
Chernihiv is the second Mariupol. It is utterly fecked. Everything is being destroyed.
They won’t, might withdraw the forces at best but they’ll keep bombing it.
This is the first time I've ever heard Russian officials say something in this direction.
I think there is something serious being discussed here. But clearly not enough so far.
Highly relevant then.
Thanks. Pretty ancient history no?
Isn't that just part of the original video? Fake or not, I'm fairly certain that's not a second video but taken from the same one
That's what I thought (with music added in the background). I know the Ukrainian defense ministry is looking into it and haven't outright said it's fake (not as of last time I checked) so Twitter will not be your most reliable source for things like this. It'll become known with certainy eventually as the people are identifiable, fake or real.
Exactly, the genuine military fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces isn't doing most of the damage here. It is the state terrorism of systematically reducing cities to rubble and using missiles to destroy key infrastructure all over the country that is what is destroying Ukraine.
I've said for weeks that I fear that Russian will just "withdraw" their wider military campaign, bed in and occupy extra parts of Ukraine, then engage in a terror campaign of missile strikes and shelling under the pretence of war. They've shown throughout this that they are willing to use excessive force to destroy whatever targets they fancy with either the most minimal justification of it being a military target, or a completely fabricated reason.
It is exactly the same thing with different audio.
Sounds like progress is being made in negotiations. I wonder what the off ramp for Putin is going to be?
But still living with the consequences today.
go live in your billion dollar palace and here is a few oligarch yachts and jets we confiscated?
…although you’ll probably be dead within the week.
sssshhhhhhuush ... dont say the quiet part out loud
Won't surprise me if that's true. But even saying "there's a chance the Russians might have faked this" makes me laugh as I ususally presume anything that's not verifiable beyond Russian sources is dodgy as feck.
So did Anonymous fake it or did Russia fake it in anticipation of it being released by Anonymous?
Like that episode of The Americans where the US created fake submarine propeller plans and let Elizabeth and Phillip steal them.
