Can someone explain when the policy of not using American equipment in Russia was changed?
Same side that has failed in two and half years of pretending not be at war with Russia, – in destroying a bridge with their best battlefield supplied weapons, now pretending they can or could have changed the course of the war by assaulting a NPP in Kursk. Crazies.
🟦🟦🟦🟦🔱🟨🟨🟨🟨. 💪💪💪
Whats the problem? Its just a "special operation"
Putins retoric is part of his arsnil, take what he says as a tactical device.
Strangely not one toilet has been looted
Looks like the Kursk has been sunk twice now. Russia should not be angry at this attack. They should realize that if they begin a war on their neighbor that power has a perfect right to respond by bring the conflict back to those who began it. Fair is fair. Russia started this war, not Ukraine. Let them pay the price of their lack of ability to use reason to settle disputes.
Russia needs to feel the effects of creating forever-border-wars, instead of living like nothing matters.
Hopefully this will screw trump’s selfish piece plan which will involve Ukraine having to seed territory He’s going to look pretty stupid if Russia also has to also negotiate for its own territory back.
Thanks for your reporting guys. Best war update out there
Is this the same russia that want to fight nato😂
I wonder what the ATACMS can reach from where they are pushing for? lol
Thanks for your work.
Great journalists used to con people out of money they cant afford
sharp pRACTICE
telegraph with dodgy offers
disgusting seeing ukraine throw these soldiers lives away
One would assume the Nuclear Plant is a great bargaining and strategic piece.
1. Create turmoil Disrupt russian logisticts road rail air
2. Expose kremlin lies on war and conquest invasion of Ukraine
3. Territory to negotiate
4. russian Gas supply interuption
5. russian Electricity interuption
6. russian pow to trade
7. Mothers of russian soldiers against kremlin
dont support ukraine based on this check out more reliable sources
Bullshitt
By far the most interesting podcast I have heard for a few days🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
#Peremoha .. 🔥🔥🔥
#KurskIsUkraine … 💙💛
I agree it's a land grab but not as this cast suggest for future negotiations. Russia is not ready for negotiations yet.
The objective is more likely tied to the fact that taking back the land is not optional to Russia. That makes their actions predictable and that's an important strategic objective. Furthermore conscripts that Russia didn't plan to see combat was in combat.
Thks & Russian media on Ukraine's invasion of Kursk. (VARANYO 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xOVjb3id-Y
The Orcs should have stayed the F out of Ukraine. They haven't felt the war at home in Russia yet. They need to.
Conflict Armament Research – quickest sub ever, this is amazing work.
Tourism .. Dark or otherwise brings people and $$ to Ukraine .. If someone is Disrespectful I’m Certain they will be Corrected .. 🙏💙💛🔥
Anyone else notice the similarities between the words Chechen and Chicken? Show of hands please!
Chechen coop or Chicken coop ……. Baba Yaga!!!
10 tanks and a thousand troops.
How does that cause a major incursion. Sounds like everybodies running out of resources.
Can Putin really be that stvpid to accept 'good news' over the truth? These are um, mature adults, right? What a clown show.
Zelensky sent his soldiers to Kursk with no air defense. 🤣🤣🤣 Russia will destroy them with FABs, Lancets, and Missiles. Zelensky is a moron.🤣🤣🤣
wtf is this audio bullshit
Dom was a colonel??? Wait what? For real?
Edit: he must be, he is talking about interior lines. Only military ppl talk like that.
Another varied, interesting programme … thanks! R (Australia)
According to a statement of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation dated August 9, 2024, the Ukrainian expedition lost 660 soldiers and 82 armored vehicles, including 8 tanks, 12 transporters and 6 infantry fighting vehicles. The hunt for the surviving Ukrainians hiding in the forests is underway.
Appreciate the Ukrainian Opsec, Most videos I've seen so far are from orc sources.
