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

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

    :roflol:

    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!:rock_slayer:

    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.

    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 8, 2024

    click here to read the full report
    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.
    • A Russian milblogger who formerly served as a "Storm-Z" unit instructor claimed on September 8 that the Russian military needs to improve the training of drone unit commanders. . . .

    All those milbloggers are like snakes turning on one another.

    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

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


    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 9, 2024

    Click here to read the full report.
    Key Takeaways:


    • Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov attended the Russia-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Joint Ministerial Meeting of Strategic Dialogue in Saudi Arabia on September 9, likely as part of Kremlin efforts to advance the creation of its envisioned “Eurasian security architecture.”
    • Kremlin officials are likely trying to shape international peace mediation efforts in the war in Ukraine while demonstrating Russia's unwillingness to engage in good-faith negotiations with Ukraine.
    • The Kremlin leveraged Russian regional elections from September 6 to 8 to integrate trusted Russian military veterans of the war in Ukraine into the Russian government, likely as part of an ongoing attempt to appease Russian servicemembers, boost domestic support for the war, and build out a cadre of Kremlin-affiliated local officials.
    • The Kremlin refrained from replacing Acting Kursk Oblast Governor Alexei Smirnov during the Russian regional elections, likely in support of an ongoing effort to downplay the societal impacts of Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk Oblast.
    • Ukrainian officials continue to warn that Russian forces are increasingly using chemical weapons in Ukraine.
    • Russian forces recently regained lost positions in Kursk Oblast amid continued Ukrainian offensive operations in the area on September 9.
    • Russian forces recently advanced along the Kupyansk-Svatove line, near Siversk, near Pokrovsk, and southwest of Donetsk City, and Ukrainian forces recently regained positions near Siversk.
    • Russian President Vladimir Putin expanded Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov’s powers on September 9 by allowing him to grant eligible parties within the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) access to Russian state secrets (classified information). . . .

    The next phase looks like more Iranian missiles for Russia, and Ukraine free to fire Western long range weapons into Russia.

    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 10, 2024

    Click here to read the full report.
    Key Takeaways:

    • Russia and the People's Republic of China (PRC) continue to pursue various avenues of military-technical cooperation.
    • Ukrainian forces conducted a large series of drone strikes in Russia on the night of September 9 to 10.
    • US President Joe Biden stated on September 10 that the presidential administration is working on lifting restrictions on Ukraine's ability to use US-provided weapons to strike military objects within Russia.
    • The Kremlin is reportedly allocating roughly 59 billion rubles (about $648 million) to strengthen its technical ability to restrict internet traffic on its sovereign internet.
    • Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast amid continued Ukrainian offensive operations in the area on September 10.
    • Russian forces recently advanced near Kreminna, Siversk, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Donetsk City.
    • The German-based Kiel Institute for the World Economy published a report on September 9 warning that Russia has significantly increased its defense industrial base (DIB) capabilities since 2022 and that depleting weapons and equipment stockpiles may not significantly impact future Russian DIB production. . . .

    It's a war of maneuver at this point in Kursk.

    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 11, 2024

    click here to read the full report
    Key Takeaways:


    • Russian forces began counterattacks along the western edge of the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast and reportedly seized several settlements northeast and south of Korenevo on September 10 and 11.
    • Available visual evidence suggests that Russian forces counterattacking in Kursk Oblast are operating in company-sized units and may be using elements of more combat-experienced units to conduct counterattacks.
    • Russian forces may intend to temporarily bisect the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast before beginning a more organized and well-equipped effort to push Ukrainian forces out of Russian territory.
    • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in Kyiv on September 11 and reiterated support for Ukraine but did not clarify current Western policy on Ukraine’s ability to strike military objects in Russia with Western-provided weapons.
    • The People's Republic of China (PRC) continues to promote its alternative peace plan for the war in Ukraine.
    • Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his support for Ukraine on September 11.
    • Russian forces recently advanced southeast of Kupyansk, near Toretsk, and near Pokrovsk.
    • Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Vitaly Sarantsev reported on September 11 that Russian forces are replenishing their tactical, operational, and strategic reserves.
    • Russian occupation authorities illegally held regional elections in occupied Crimea on September 6 to 8 and likely fabricated increased voter turnout numbers to claim that residents broadly support Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea. . . .

    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.

    Putin is sabre-rattling again while a Russia-Iran disagreement has erupted.

    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 12, 2024

    Click here to read the full report.
    Key Takeaways:


    • Russian forces continued counterattacking throughout the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast on September 12 but made only marginal gains, likely due to continued Ukrainian offensive operations and defensive counterattacks in the area.
    • Russian forces have so far advanced in areas of Kursk Oblast that Ukrainian forces were not yet fully controlling nor attempting to control, and Russian forces will likely face more difficulty when counterattacking further into areas of the salient where Ukrainian forces do have control.
    • A Ukrainian HIMARS strike reportedly damaged a temporary pontoon bridge across the Seym River and wounded a group of nearby Russian troops on September 12.
    • Russian authorities have reportedly deployed additional elements of the Russian 106th Airborne (VDV) Division to Kursk Oblast and may begin redeploying more combat experienced forces to support ongoing Russian counterattacks and future counteroffensive operations against Ukrainian forces in Russia.
    • The United Kingdom (UK) will reportedly allow Ukraine to use UK-provided long-range Storm Shadow missiles to strike military objects in Russia in the coming days.
    • Russian President Vladimir Putin continues rhetorical efforts aimed at influencing the ongoing Western policy debate about granting Ukraine permission to use Western-provided weapons against military objects in Russia, although Russia has not previously escalated militarily against perceived Western violations of Russia's "red lines."
    • Russian forces struck a civilian cargo ship transiting through the Ukrainian grain corridor in the western Black Sea on September 11, likely as part of a renewed Russian effort to undermine international confidence in the safety of the corridor.
    • Russia continued its efforts to enhance relations with non-Western countries at the meeting of BRICS high-ranking security officials and advisors in St. Petersburg.
    • Iran and Russia are downplaying their disagreement over the Zangezur Corridor project in the Caucasus.
    • Russia is continuing to balance its relationships with Iran and the Gulf states.
    • Russian investigative outlet Dossier Center published an investigation on September 12 into the Kremlin's efforts to consolidate its influence over the Russian information space via Telegram ahead of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
    • Russian forces recently north of Chasiv Yar, southeast of Pokrovsk, and west of Donetsk City.
    • Former Roscosmos (Russian space agency) head and Zaporizhia Oblast occupation senator Dmitry Rogozin claimed on September 12 that the first group of the newly-formed "BARS-Sarmat" volunteer detachment (Russian Combat Army Reserve) signed military service contracts with the Russian MoD and are training for deployment to the frontline in Ukraine. . . .

    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".

    If the Russians want to be effective in Kursk they will have to redeploy additional forces.

    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 13, 2024
    Click here to read the full report with maps

    Key Takeaways:


    • The Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast has reportedly spoiled planned Russian offensive operations along the international border area that likely aimed to expand the area of active combat operations across a broader front in northeastern Ukraine.
    • Russian forces continue to counterattack throughout the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast, but the Russian military will likely have to redeploy additional elements from elsewhere in the theater to Kursk Oblast to establish a force grouping capable of pursuing a sustained counteroffensive operation.
    • Russian forces appear to be testing more effective mechanized assault tactics west of Donetsk City, although Russian armored vehicles remain vulnerable to Ukrainian strike and drone capabilities.
    • Ukraine and Russia conducted their second prisoner of war (POW) exchange since the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast on September 13.
    • Russia continues efforts to strengthen strategic military ties with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), North Korea, and Iran to support its war effort in Ukraine.
    • Russian and Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast amid continued Russian and Ukrainian assaults in the area on September 13.
    • Russian forces recently marginally advanced near Kupyansk, Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk.
    • Russian authorities continue attempts to coerce minorities and Ukrainian youth living in occupied Ukraine to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense (MoD) to avoid conducting a wider mobilization. . . .

    Russian field commanders would rather spend their men than learn smarter war.

    Ukraine Conflict Updates
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 14, 2024


    Click here to read the full report with maps
    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.
    • Ukrainian forces continued to advance in Glushkovsky Raion and Russian forces recently regained territory near Korenevo and Sudzha.
    • 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. . . .

    Over 1 million KIA RuZzian conscripts.....2.5 million + injured by next summer.

    Pootlerstan has contributed greatly to RuZzias demographic decline.

    Key Takeaways:


    • Russia reportedly aims to achieve a decisive victory in Ukraine by 2026 before likely medium- to long-term economic and force generation constraints begin to significantly degrade Russia's ability to sustain its war effort in Ukraine.
    • Russia will likely face growing challenges in the production and procurement of the materiel that Russian operations in Ukraine require, and the Kremlin will likely become increasingly reliant on foreign partners to meet its materiel needs.
    • Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Oleksandr Kamyshin stated on September 15 that Ukraine has started domestic serial production of 155mm artillery shells.
    • The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) promptly responded to ultranationalists' outcry surrounding the controversial deaths of two drone operators in Ukraine, highlighting how Russian authorities continue to be highly attentive to backlash from the ultranationalist community.
    • Russian ultranationalist milbloggers praised the Russian MoD's response to the drone operators' deaths but expressed concern about the MoD's ability to solve the systemic issues that led to the deaths.
    • Chechen Akhmat Spetsnaz Commander Apty Alaudinov aggravated Kremlin efforts to conduct prisoner of war (POW) exchanges for soldiers who defended against the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast while balancing his attempts to appeal to both the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and hardline facets of Chechen society.
    • Ukrainian forces reportedly advanced in Glushkovsky Raion, Kursk Oblast, and Russian forces reportedly recently recaptured territory in the area as of September 15. Ukrainian forces continued offensive operations throughout their salient in Kursk Oblast, and Russian forces recently advanced in the salient.
    • Russian forces recently advanced near Svatove, Siversk, and Donetsk City.
    • Russian authorities continue to strengthen coercive mechanisms to support ongoing crypto-mobilization efforts in order to avoid conducting a wider mobilization. . . . .
