Finally, a few words from me. Please approach the news from the Pokrovsk direction with great caution and don't panic. And especially ignore the "experts" who write that defending the metropolitan area is a political decision that will end in the garrison's capitulation.

Do you know the real drama of Russias war in Ukraine? To understand what the Nazis were up to you had to read 700+ pages of Hitlers "Mein Kampf". To understand what Putin was up to you had to read ~ 15 pages of Putins “On the Historical Unity”. Still many fail to understand.

Ich bin froh, dass wir alle gerade das Ende des Gazakriegs erleben dürften. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass wir das Ende des Nahostkonflikts erleben werden. Da ist (genuiner) Frieden weiter weg denn je. Meine Einschätzungen auf @puls24.at www.puls24.at/video/puls-2...

Nothing makes commuting in the morning more uplifting than listening to the blunder of the first days of Austria-Hungaries invasion of Serbia.

Russia as the Katechon – A Love Story for Left and Right In his Feb 29, 2024 address, Putin cast Russia as the Katechon - the restrainer and bulwark against Western depravity and civilizational collapse. This makes Russia attractive to both New Right and Far-Left. Why? 1/x ⬇️

Muchnoy on the current situation on the front: "Judging by the situation on the front, in some places we have begun to push the enemy back, while in others the enemy continues to push us back. There is, so to speak, a 'fluctuation' of the line and a constant fight for every meter.

Security guarantees only count if someone is actually willing to go to war with Russia. As the war has shown that that is exactly what Europe and the US don't want, it's noise.Just ramp up support as Russia won't negotiate for real if it thinks it can win militarily. Now lets talk about support...

Handy hint: If somebody talks about Russian "security interests," he talks about recognising: 1) A buffer zone of countries that aren’t really allowed to be sovereign, just obedient satellites wearing the costume of independence. ⬇️

Ich bin mit meiner März To-Do List durch. Sehr stolz. Und ihr?

Putin wrote exactly what he has in mind for Ukraine and Ukrainians. And it´s not a sovereign Ukraine, nor a distinct Ukrainian identity. Those who ignored his insightful essay in 2021 might pay attention now when discussing what Russias goal in Ukraine is...

The main reason I return to Blsky regularly is this account. Follow him to get a sober account on what happens on ukraines frontlines, follow him.

Attached is a video showing a Russian armored attack near Yablunivka, towards Kostiantynivka.

#Pokrovsk Okay, I'll be honest, the Russian disinformation attack on social media is massive, and unfortunately, many pro-Ukrainian accounts are also starting to spread panic unnecessarily. It's hardly surprising, really.

According to plans, by the end of September, the Russian General Staff will eliminate three bulge in the front in the following directions: Toretsk (including the capture of Kostiantynivka), Pokrovsk (the capture of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad), and Novopavlovsk.

Anyone who closely follows the war has surely noticed that for some time now, Ukraine has been losing comparable amounts, and sometimes even greater amounts, of armored equipment than Russia. Here's the answer to why this is happening? AFU continues to use armored equipment to protect its infantry,

Certainly, many were alarmed by the latest loss update by Oryx, which clearly shows that Ukrainian losses were almost 40% greater than Russian losses.

because it shows that the Russians are starting to feel the shortage of military equipment, which is why they are trying to save it. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, still have it in sufficient quantities.

And it turns out that Europe has already managed to replace the US withdrawal from aid to Ukraine. This is probably why we can see the increasingly uncompromising attitude of the Ukrainian government towards Putin's "negotiations". www.ifw-kiel.de/publications...

Very important information. Russia is planning an information campaign with the intention of discrediting Ukraine in the context of the ongoing exchange of the dead. We must be prepared for a powerful dose of disinformation by Russian bots on social media. szru.gov.ua/news-media/n...

Russlands geht es schei*e, da kommt ein Manifest geflogen, in dem argumentiert wird, man müsse lieb zu Russland sein, die Amis seien böse, die Ukraine eskaliere, EU seien Kriegstreiber. Jeder redet darüber. Befürworter eines härteren Kurses werden wieder diffamiert. Plump, aber effektiv.
