Any chance, any at all that brief allusions to Russia leaving the ‘denazifiying’ of Ukraine to the Ukrainians means this is the beginning of the end?

Even if it was, what are the Ukrainian people meant to say ‘oh thank god that’s done, we’ll start burying our dead, rebuild demolished buildings and carry on’? What is the world meant to say? Thank god we can buy Russian gas with a clear conscience?

How is an utterly senseless, pointless war ever reconciled?

Pinch of salt time. But worthy of comment

Ukrainian military intelligence reports discipline of incompetent Russian officers.

Russia's 3rd Motorized Rifle Division was 55% staffed. Commanders said full strength.

"DPR" deputy commander Eduard Basurin was arrested. He revealed Russia using chemical weapons in Mariupol.

Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien
This brings up an interesting point that we really don’t know how many Russian troops went into ukraine ans how many are actually there now. There have been a few reports that Russian units were below strength for reasons perhaps of corruption or incompetence

Yet another General was buried in Russia, having been killed by Ukrainian troops: Russian Maj. Gen. Vladimir Frolov, Deputy Commander of the Eighth Army.

FSB arrests the commander of the 🇷🇺 Black Sea fleet vice admiral Igor Ossipov. Obviously for the bad weather and an accidental fire on board of Moskva. 8th general out of commission by 🇺🇦 action in this war.

Also stated on Wiki.

lost a general, lost a vice-admiral.

The FSB lost its own leader in charge of the war. Im wondering how long the chicken can run aroudn with only the wattles shaking and no head to house a brain

I've no idea if this has been photoshopped but it's amazing none the less.

Ukraine Invasion: Part 21
Hillsmakeyoustrong · 16/04/2022 22:50

Ok so this afternoon I've been asked to source a new drug which treats people who are poisoned by zarin gas. Apparently the Ukrainian military are in real need of it.

Hillsmakeyoustrong · 16/04/2022 22:51

They say the Russians are using this gas in a certain part of Ukraine. Has this been on the news? Have I missed it?

Ijsbear · 16/04/2022 22:56

There were rumours two days ago about them using it in Mariupol and someone has been arrested for talking about it. But nothing further than that, and not beyond Mariupol.
