Remarkable intercepted call from a Russian soldier, cursing his own leadership.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
Just blatantly state-sanctioned terrorism at this point. Civilian targets picked with barely any other consideration beyond mass casualities.

I assume this is a soldier speaking to his wife / girlfriend?
I find it crazy that she almost sounds dismissive of the issues he is telling her e.g."why do you talk about them like that"
The power of propaganda is insane
Maybe, just maybe, she thinks this kind of talk will get him problems with the Russian state. And she wants him to not say such things on the phone.
Or maybe she does believe whatever the Russian government is saying.
Think most Russians are against the war in some way and most are afraid to speak their mind.
Denazification now underway in Odesa
So the Russians will be happy and go home after they finish off the Azov Battalion in Mariupol? I wonder if this one battalion is the reason for all this denazification talk?
This man always writes interesting threads and seems to coincide with many others. The Russians may be able to advance but without enough manpower or means to maintain the position for a long time.
Exactly. It’s the fatal flaw of their BTG concept. Not enough men/material to continue or maintain after the initial assault.
I hope it continues like this.
I'm curious to see what happens in Izium. Seeing it on the map it looks like a city boxed in the middle of the forest, something like northwest of Kiev.
I imagine that very entrenched and good for ambushes but also with thousands of russian mercenaries in that area, and Kherson, where there are more and more partisans. Many interesting fronts.
Let's see if the heavy artillery they've received makes any difference.
Read the room, Germany...
The BBC reports:
"Turkey says it is closing its airspace to Russian civilian and military planes flying to Syria.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says the ban will be effective for three months, according to local media.
The move undermines Russia's large-scale air campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, forcing Russian planes to take longer routes. Turkey backs resistance groups in Syria opposed to President Assad.
Turkey, a Nato member, has refrained from the wide-ranging sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and US over its invasion of Ukraine. But it has blocked Russian warships from entering the Black Sea through its waters.
The Turkish government is trying to mediate between Russia and Ukraine to bring about a ceasefire.
Millions of Russians go on holiday to Turkey annually, but the Ukraine conflict is expected to cause a big slump in visits by Russians and Ukrainians this year."

Such people, even those acting in good faith, are entirely divorced from the real world. In this real world, absolutely nothing that the Russian say or agree to can be trusted an inch.
Yeah why don’t you shave off the hear off his dead corpse. A fecking ‘collaborator’ seriously?!
In what way was he not literally a collaborator, though?
That's pretty much the dictionary definition of a collaborator.
I was absolutely wrong in the way the war would play out but I’m still on course in terms of Ukriane getting partitioned.
So if a lad had pro Russian views, in a contested area.. (Russian/Ukrainians) you think it’s okay to leave him as you just saw him?
I was right all long it seems about you. Kacapy gonna kacap.
Reading this boils my piss. Why can't we be in favour of surrendering Germany instead of Ukraine for the sake of world peace? Swap Kyiv for Berlin?
The US should probably remove all their military hardware from Germany before they get surrendered to the Russians with a whimper in the future.

Sorry, putting it in terms of "pro Russian views" and "contested area" is absurd. This is someone who reportedly applied for the position of chief of the occupation police, wanting to work for the people who invaded his country. I absolutely think that makes him a fair target in the eyes of many (most) Ukrainians, and I find it hard to blame them.
What we’re you right all along? From what I could I remember, you ordered me out of my own country…
Same. People devoid of all rationality. Just giving up hundreds of thousands of peoples lives to the oppressed life of being a Russian because it's an easy way out. Ukraine will keep fighting to protect their land as they should have every fecking right too.
That you’re a definition of vatnik.
That guy that was shot up was meant to be a journalist. Nothing more. If there is something more I haven’t heard about it.
What does that mean mate? Excuse me when I don’t subscribe to your geopolitical ideas lad.
Googling the term can sometimes broaden your mind.
Or you can just say it
What is there to say when someone who’s ethnic Russian that lives in the west but bigs up Putin and literally spreads his propaganda for him from the beginning of this thread?
Honestly, all those in support of Ukraine's surrender should be offered to Putin in exchange for captured Ukrainian soldiers.
Let all these mouthpieces do their bit for 'peace' and let them find out first hand whether Russia follows the Geneva Conventions.
Geneva Conventions, my arse.
Of course you can. But keep in mind, this is an open letter written by some idiots, none of them hold any relevant position in German politics or administration.
Oh and by the way, I would surrender Berlin to anyone just to get rid of it

I understand that Germany is caught between a rock and a hard place and it is difficult for them politically.
However, articles like this do not help at all and makes things worse.
Surrendering Ukraine isn't going to solve the problem, it merely transfers the problem from Ukraine to Poland.

Quite the series of posts. You backtracked to acknowledging your wilful ignorance quite quickly.

Germany does not care about Ukraine. Or Poland. Or the Baltic countries. They can all be given to Russia. Germany only cares about Germany and the economy. Everyone else can do whatever, they don't care how many people die or are sent to Siberia. Germany wants the war to finish quickly, so that they can return to a profitable relationship with Russia, which has been their goal in the past two months.
Economy or not, if Ukraine and Poland both prefer to surrender then Germany is next on the list. They should be very careful what they wish for.
Yes, quite. Never enjoyed a Ukrainian journalist being capped or any other journalist..
You really should relax a little. I don't even know the people who signed this open letter. It's not relevant and the vast majority here is in full support of Ukraine. Scholz is pretty much isolated in his own coalition as well.
Criticism is justified but what you are proclaiming here has nothing to donwith objectivity.
