Running Newsticker for the War in Ukraine

Bucha is not the only war crime committed by Russians against Ukrainians. But you know that and are failing to admit the truth.

Russian law bans journalists from calling Ukraine conflict a 'war' or an 'invasion'

Ukrainians need to "create a media picture of RuZzian crimes"?



This qualifies as the joke of the day!!

You win the door prize of the day....a small plastic statuette of Pootler....locked in a naked embrace with Batka Luka$hitko of Belarus.

Koosna Tootchka has quit issuing discount coupons for customers, Kremlin thinks statuette trinkets are more symbolic!

Congratulations...you rock!

 

Can you explain without cheap buffoonery and antics where there is a mistake in my reasoning? Find the second "Bucha" and show it to me.

Do you have any objections to the question of why the Russian media does not pronounce the word "war"?

 

No...I won't explain to you without "cheap buffoonery" ...since your comment lends itself to ridicule.

Bucha is one example....there are numerous others...I suspect you're aware of them, turn a blind eye and/or fully support it.

Basically the mere mention of it being a war....or criticizing it can land you prison time in Mafiosi.

This is a war....vatnikaliy....most everyone outside the RF sees it that way....prove otherwise.

 

Of course I can prove it. After all, there were other cities from which the Russian army retreated. For example, Kherson or Sumy. These are much bigger cities than Bucha, which means there should have been much more victims. However, there is no information about this.

In addition, Russia holds huge territories inhabited by Ukrainians and if Russians had such a pathological hatred for Ukrainians, then you would constantly hear news about new murders, since in our modern world it is difficult to conceal mass repressions and make sure that no one tells, because messengers such as Whatsapp Telegram or Facebook cannot be controlled.

 

Then prove away....I await.

There are deportations, child abductions, etc, that have happened.

There was numerous cases where children were returned or have been repatriated.

There is active partisans in occupied territories ,Crimea included.

You don't have FB in Mafiosi....there is Vkontakt ...or something...which is controlled by FSB....Telegram??....same thing, basically used by terrorists, human traffickers, drug smugglers, and other riff raff. Nice try.

Orcs have a hatred for just about everyone that isn't RuZzian.

You destroyed your own argument.....you don't even realize it.

 

I've already proved it! Have you heard anything about the bodies found in Kherson or Sumy? No. Here's the proof. There was no repatriation. There were no kidnappings or deportations of children - it's all fake. Residents were evacuated from the war zone. I know that the orphanages were evacuated, probably this is what they give out for kidnapping children. What should I have done? Leave them under fire? It doesn't matter that Facebook is blocked, it easily bypasses the vpn. And there are many other ways of transmitting information, so if there were cases of genocide of Ukrainians, then be sure - it would become known!

 

OK...so, you're not offering up anything, you've got nothing.

Furthermore if people are getting evacced....why so many vatniks conscripts getting their throats slashed in occupied areas?? So far the numbers are in the hundreds ...if not thousands.

Why so many residents finding ways to escape to UAF controlled areas?

Yeah...maybe there's "evacs" ...forced deportations to gulag or Siberia somewhere.

Trouble is ...vatnikaly, you absorb RuTV daily....that's 90% Kremlin controlled. You probably use VPN here? Sooner or later the FSB will track you down? Yotube has slowed in Mafioso, too many ideas I suspect?

 

The Russians don't handle their drones well, and their nuclear sabre-rattling shouldn't scare anyone.

Key Takeaways:

• Central Intelligence Agency Director (CIA) William Burns cautioned the West against concern about boilerplate Russian nuclear saber-rattling, which ISW has long identified as part of a Kremlin effort to promote Western self-deterrence and influence key moments in Western policy debates about support for Ukraine.
• Russian milbloggers continue to offer insights into how the Kremlin is co-opting select milbloggers to regulate the spread of information in Russia.
• The Kremlin has not yet succeeded in co-opting or silencing all Russian milbloggers, however.
• The milbloggers’ insights into such incidents suggest that the Kremlin is attempting to co-opt milbloggers or encourage them to self-censor, as opposed to a more aggressive policy of direct censorship.
• The Russian Investigative Committee is investigating a "mass brawl" between Russian ultranationalists and Central Asian residents in Afipsky, Krasnodar Krai, amid increased xenophobia against migrants and ethnic minorities in Russia.
• Ukrainian officials continued to announce a series of appointments among senior members of the Ukrainian cabinet on September 8.
• Russian forces conducted counterattacks in Kursk Oblast amid continued Ukrainian offensive operations in the area on September 8.
• Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk and marginally advanced near Chasiv Yar.

All those milbloggers are like snakes turning on one another.

That one Guzenko?...is it?, said it best, it's time for Pootler to die,well do the rest?

I suspect he'll disappear soon?

 

Ukranians have a new weapon, which can drop Thermite (molten aluminum) over a large area. It can be used to torch enemy troops, blow up mines. The metal burns at 4000F degrees (same temp as is used in welding metal, 2400C).

PS Russia has used Thermite missiles to target civilians during this conflice

Yep...just like my MIG welders, just a little hotter.

BBQ orcs ...coming right up.

 

I suspect it's hard to be simultaneously an ally of Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Over the past few years, countless pieces of information have appeared in the Polish public space proclaiming inhuman and barbaric methods of action that Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine were supposed to commit. The mainstream Media, followed by politicians and artists, published articles claiming that the Russians were supposed to kidnap and eat Ukrainian children, take away washing machines and refrigerators, and commit many other uncivilized methods of action, which in representatives of the Democratic Society of the West are simply disgusted and disgusted. As everyone who tries to filter the news shared in the Polish-language media has already seen, in the vast majority they deviate quite strongly from reality. This was the case with the alleged heroic death of Ukrainian soldiers on the island of snakes, who were actually transported to Sevastopol, or the analysis of general Skrzypczak, already known throughout Poland, which, despite convincing headlines proclaiming an increasingly new and more spectacular fall of Russia, for more than two years still turn out to be not very accurate. What to call such phenomena? This is the modern definition of fake news. But the point is that, just as with freedom of expression and tolerance, so with the definition of what is false information and what is not has been reserved today for a select few.

The Iranians are cashing in $$$ big time supplying hardware for the Mafiosi. I would hazard a guess the supplies are marked up 300% or more.

Iran could care less about RuZzia itself....they're selfish interests are the South Caucasus where the Chechens,Buryats,Dagestanis are their "brethren".

 

Interesting article recently posted this month by "war on the Rocks' (adapted from an article by Le Rubicon) on the future prospects for the Russian economy post 2024. A bit lengthy but a good read.

Key Takeaways:

• Ukrainian officials and sources indicated that Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast has prompted the Russian authorities to increase the size of the Russian force grouping in Kursk Oblast by upwards of a factor of three.
• Ukraine and Russia conducted a prisoner of war (POW) exchange on September 14 — the third POW exchange since the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast, which appears to have generated the short-term effect of increasing incentives for Russia to engage in POW exchanges.
• Some Russian field commanders continue to make decisions that degrade the overall quality of their subordinate forces—prioritizing infantry-led frontal assault tactics over cultivating technical specialists who would allow the Russian military to better field technologies and innovations in combat operations.
• The Kremlin continues efforts to leverage global informational instruments of influence to develop new capabilities to conduct election interference, destabilization measures, and sanctions evasion schemes.
• Officials of Georgia’s ruling Georgia Dream party continue to elevate narratives echoing Kremlin information operations justifying Russia’s occupation of internationally recognized Georgian territories.

• Russian forces recently advanced near Chasiv Yar, Pokrovsk, and Vuhledar.
• Russian forces are reportedly repairing captured Soviet-era Ukrainian equipment to replenish Russian vehicle stocks. . . .

Ukrainian strikes reportedly continue to affect Russian naval operations. Mashovets stated that the Russian BSF command decided to only launch Kalibr cruise missiles from submarines and have equipped areas in Myskhako (just southwest of Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai) for such launches.[72] Mashovets noted that the probability of preemptive Ukrainian naval drone strikes against Kalibr-carrying submarines is lower. Open-source X (formerly Twitter) users posted satellite imagery on September 14 showing that the Russian Navy has evacuated vessels from the Novorossiysk port, possibly to Gelendzhik (roughly 30 kilometers southeast of Novorossiysk).[73] . . .

Russian forces are reportedly repairing captured Soviet-era Ukrainian equipment to replenish Russian vehicle stocks. Russian Southern Military Commander (SMD) Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Yevgeny Razumikhin claimed on September 14 that Russian forces have repaired and put into service roughly 30 percent of the Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and tanks the Southern Grouping of Forces has captured.[77] Razumikhin claimed that Russian forces are mostly repairing equipment that former Warsaw Pact states supplied to Ukraine. . . .
