⚡️Reznikov: Russia has used most of its high-precision missile arsenal in Ukraine.
According to the data published by Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, Russia has 119 Iskander missiles left in stock compared to 900 before the start of the all-out war.

"(There are) four enemies of the Russian missile arsenal: brilliant Ukrainian air defense forces, incompetent Russian forces, sanctions, and time," Reznikov wrote on Twitter.

"Ukrainians themselves will become our weapon when so many of them go to Europe and will need to be upkept there".
Another goal of mass bombings of civilian infrastructure.

oh right I forgot a bit what happened after 9/11 but thank you for reminding me
https://theglobalcoalition.org/en/partners/
Check out the squad
isis didnt exist during 9/11 lol
ur thinking of al quaeda
ISIS came from Al quaeda
They were kicked out because they were too extreme for Al quaeda
Let that sink in
It doesn’t matter too much where isis came from, they’re both extremists that give Muslims a bad name for no good reason
indeed
They aren’t even Muslim
Every group will have their extremists sadly
None of my family were ever under their control, but they sure as hell scared everyone
So they never reached their area?
They didn’t have the best track record of treating Shia Muslims
Central and southern Iraq, yes, they never reached there
Ahhh good
Only parts of Kurdistan and the western areas, as well as the significant city of Mosul
Kurdistan is practically independent

Better than the Iraqi one, that’s for sure
Writing on any flag, even if it’s allahu akbar, looks horrendous
I will say if there's gonna be any writing languages like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and other that don't look like English look better on flags
It’s because you aren’t used to it, so it looks unique
I just think the characters fit better as part of a design for a flag
To each their own, I personally don’t like it too much
But you could be like Wales and Burtan and put a dragon
Allahu akbar doesn’t even have to do much with Iraq specifically
Dragon wouldn’t work, put a Phoenix or camel
That’d be cooler

Now a traditional story: mobilised from Yekaterinburg are happy to go to a foreign country and kill people, they just don't like getting duped with their pay.
If russia mobilizes wouldnt their economy suffer more
iirc they could barely arm the last conscripts
between many working people getting drafted, and many hundreds of thousands fleeing the country, Russia did lose around a million workers
this is greatly fucking the economy
wouldn't be surprised if Russia's economy will devolve by 2 decades and be as bad as at the start of Putin's dictatorship
this man elevated the country from poverty, and now at the twilight of his power, he's returning them to it

The region’s governor, Roman Starovoit, said that the Sudzha district, bordering Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast, had been attacked by Ukrainian forces. Ukraine has not commented on the allegations.

A power supply facility was hit, which caused blackouts in the area, according to Starovoit. Russian troops have been conducting large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure since Oct. 10, killing civilians and causing blackouts across the country.

This is odd to think since (let's say it was organized by Russia) this would still be an attack of NATO territory. But does the fact that Spanish law doesn't apply there means the NATO treaty doesn't? 
Local law very much applies to embassies, it‘s just that the embassy itself and its employees are protected by international law
And also I really don’t see how you could categorise this as an attack on the territory of a country, since it was clearly aimed at the embassy staff
You would have to consider any kind of violent crime committed by a foreign national as an attack then
Funny that wasn't he the one falling for more European military autonomy from the US, now with more Eastern European nations gaining more influence (and they prefer having NATO) he has changed his mind?

First of all, a very interesting video about the medical personnel attached to a battalion near the frontline in Bakhmut - last week I shared a video about a field hospital there, and this one is about the people who actually bring wounded soldiers from the frontline to the hospital
Бої навколо Соледара тривають від кінця весни, місто — це ключ до Бахмута, який за будь-яку ціну намагаються взяти російські військові та найманці із приватної кампанії «Вагнера». hromadske провело день із медичною службою 109 окремого штурмового батальйону, бійці якого тримають позиції під Соледаром.

Ukraine are the ones denazifying Donbas here

That's what, almost half of the troops they stationed right before the invasion?
Probably nearly 100k too
if it's nearly 100k then that would be quite bad for Ukraine because of Russia having way more people
Yeah, most estimates I’ve read about mentioned between 60-100k casualties on the Ukrainian side
That would be better especially after the counter offensive they done
russia might have more soldiers, but less people who are willing to fight, this war is more devestating for them, even if ukrainian losses are equal to russian

idk whats there to say about the mood. This is just as fake as any other tv show
honestly my reaction to all of that was that it was a really great way to show just how much everything there has been twisted or destroyed by the Russian government
then we switched to the Ukrainian tv and they were showing war footage in some stuff
Maybe I'm just numb to that by now, because I would be more surprised if they said anything truthful at this point.
oh it's not even that

the war is doing a LOT of damage to Russia on many different levels
I feel like it's not always entirely apparent unless you are paying attention to what is happening in the country
I can imagine.
and it's really saddening that all of this is happening
Russia's fucked regardless
even if this war didn't happen I think a lot of the other stuff going on in Russia would still be happening
Oil trade significantly reduced
embargoed to shit
economy in the shitters
A million people having fled the country with a bias towards the educated and higher earners
hundreds of thousands of young men drafted
a good chunk of those people getting killed or injured
and probably a bunch more things
yeah true
but I mean, a lot of the shit going on is stuff that dictatorships tend to do anyway, I feel like the war has just accelerated it
the war and the sanctions
For the already ongoing population decline, probably yeah, but idk about all the economic stuff. I feel like stuff like that could have potentially been fixed by good policy, which is now no longer an option.
afaik the population decline is a big problem for Ukraine too
the population growth in Russia, Ukraine, and other former Soviet countries has been very stagnant iirc? I don't remember if this extends to other Eastern European countries or not
I will say that you are giving the Russian government too much credit if you assume that they will have good policy lol
I live in the US, but family moved here from Russia in the 1990s

Propagandists are saying a new wave of mobilization in Russia should have begun yesterday, and schoolchildren also need to be trained to fight in case they need to go to war.
Ukrainian mil. journalist Yuriy Butusov - update from Soledar. The situation is difficult, Russians are throwing all their forces to reach the supply line behind the city. But, there are forces and equipment, and with the right use, the enemy can be defeated. Translation below.

Yeah
Ive heard it was something like 40k Wagner or 2/3 of their total member count. The ukrainians claim like 8k.
Where did u get those numbers
Cant tell if i mightve gotten jbaided but this is where i read it
Sometimes i feel we russia ourselves with false information because its what we want to hearm
Or im just stupid
Or both
Likely
tbh yeah, very likely
Just hopefully it isn't as bad as we might think it is
It feels like the media just talks about the winnings about Ukraine way more than what they actually lose
Ukraine, like Russia, don't publish their losses
But seeing all the memorials for those that died on Ukrainian side shows that they're losing a lot of people too
Yeah that's why I doubt the war will end any time soon
some people are saying how the war will end this year and stuff but I really doubt it
Seems like right now there will be winning and losses in places and this will probably take as long as until one side gives up
and there will be no winner in this story
We're basically at a ww1 level stalemate right now
Everyone is fucked
We can just hope that with our help Ukraine will befuckes less than Russia
Pretty much but I wouldn't call it ww1 level yet because it is only been a few months
the stuff that Ukraine did in September was absolutely legendary though
they really succeeded on getting so much terrain
True
that's why it felt like it isn't stalemate anymore
Iy would be amazing if they manage an other breakthrough like this
But for now it's just back and forth around Soledar
It would be but I doubt or at least extremely low chance
and the longer time goes the more time Russia has to reinforce their area
Althought I've read that both sides are amassing forces around Zaporozhia
Which could mean huge battles at the end of winter
Ukrainians too
I don't know on which side the time is honestly
yeah making it even bigger stalemate over time lol
I guess we will see how it goes
War is very complex after all
except in video games, thank god for that
It depends
Ukraine is getting some really nice stuff rn
yeah they are but if you think about it Russia probably as well
Russia is using quantity while Ukraine is using quality
and remember Russia can always produce new stuff
who knows what they are making now
Wait really?
oh
Most stuff was imported from abroad
They are trying to get around it but it's not like they can keep up with their losses
I didn't know that
For example I've read that they may be reusing processors from cyvilian stuff such as washing machines they've suddenly tripled their imports of
So it's not like they can't produce anything
But they can not replace any advanced hardware in any real quantity
I thought they would have like still factories and other producing stuff from USSR days
It's not like USSR was a world leader in electronics tho xD
Heavy industry was their thing mainly
lmao alright alright good point
And don't get me wrong they still have masdive material advantage
of course, they are literally huge
But not only their advanced stuff cannot compare to western hardware but also they cannot replace it fast enough
That's why they're using t62's and such
That's true, but remember that Ukraine also doesn't have that as well
they are purely relying on other countries gifting them stuff
that's why that feels like is slow as well
That's why recent leopard deal is so huge
yeah it is amazing
And alsk US being more on board with the "fuck Russia" team we've got going here in eastern europe
It gives me hope
But for now it's just a static attrition warfare
We have to wait and see
yeah I agree with you
Imagine they start up a new tank and the turret just starts its spin cycle
A helicopter tank that only works during washing cycles
also all of the advanced hardware Ukraine is getting is designed specifically to counter the kind of stuff Russia can make and use now that they've been cut off from advanced electronics

Britain hopes the Challenger 2 tanks it is supplying to Ukraine will arrive in the country at the end of March, defence department minister Alex Chalk said on Thursday.

Note these challenger 2 tanks are slightly outdated leftovers, from the ones which aren't being upgraded.
Yeah the West can't really throw all their modern equipment, better to get rid of the older stock, which is still better than what Russia has
apparently the British defence ministry report was concerned these tanks would be outclassed by current generation Russian MBT tanks (T-14 armata).
Further intelligence indicates the quantity and battle-readiness of this generation of Russian tanks were exaggerated.
Yeah the armata probably won't see much combat, it's mainly being sent there for propaganda purposes
i wouldnt be suprised if it was the modern stock, we have a large budget dedicated to detering our near peer threats, i think a war currently going on in their country is enough to deter any country from starting another war
Plus there can't be that many build in just 2 years 💀
I've heard of the T-14 being present at military parades
it's rather unfortunate tanks weren't sent earlier from the UK because our defence ministry fell for Russian propoganda oh well
There have been yeah, but for most of the shows those were just prototypes, maybe they had actual battle ready ones last year after it went into production
I think the most important thing about the UK sending tanks to Ukraine (along with artillery ammunition) is it makes it politically easier for Germany/France/ but most importantly the US to do the same.
I wouldn't really take anything on those parades seriously because it's just Russia trying to show their domestic and foreign audiences that they're still cool and hip and modern and powerful
Maybe this year we'll see the west send their ATACAMs since Ukraines been begging for those after showing how effective they are with the much shorter range things like HIMARS
Maybe this year that'll happen assuming the war drags on, I'll keep you informed with any British-Ukrainian news stories.
The Russo-Ukrainian war has gradually moved into the background of the UK's public conscious , with national scandals/economic hardships taking precedent.
Yeah not seeing much on my twitter timeline, but that's probably because I like a lot of furry art and funny maymays lol
Great algorithm
probably just as well really, the War although important is draining to keep up with.
I mainly check things on the "for you" tab, but I know well I'll be blasted with Ukrainian tweets if I go to my recent cuz I follow so many
As a further point there's still plenty of corruption in Londongrad, where Russian oligarchs bypass the scantions and the "OFSI" does barely anything about it.
Not that they have the funding to do so.
So long as the corruption is benign, and doesn't directly siphon funds to the Russian war effort, and it's just wealthy Russians lining their pocket, while not supporting the Kremlin it's almost permissible. However I doubt that's entirely the case.
"Paraphrasing from the most recent private eye article - There's a clear discrepancy between the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS)'s estimate of £31B Russian investment in the UK (in 2021), while the Office of Financial Sanction Implementation (OFSI) reports for £18.4B Russian assets in the UK (in 2022, I presume) are frozen.
Where did this missing and unfrozen £12.6B of Russian investment go? Who knows.
It's just sad to see the sanctions getting undercut so needlessly
It's just sad
1/ If Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine had succeeded in 2022, Ukraine's industries would have been seized and taken over by Russian oligarchs. A leaked document shows that oligarch Konstantin Malofeev intended to create a 'DMZ Concern' from Ukraine's largest plants. ⬇️

"How dare you not get involved in a war you would not only lose but also be an active hindrance to the allies for"
tbh more of a "how dare you have changed your stance and opinion on a thing after 80ish years have passed" which is even more ridiculous
The funds raised during the action will be allocated to purchase multifunctional tactical radars. The objective of such radars is to watch over the airspace around such strategically important Ukrainian objects as powerplants, water towers, etc. that help to ensure the usual life of ordinary Ukrainians during wartime.

The sad thing it's so idiotic that it's so easy for me not the believe it and to believe it at the same time
one soldier social media posting a new years celebration lead to 100s dying to a HIMARS attack
Also glad they didn't have to do a damage assessment, he did it for them

Russia's greatest weakness... social media
there's been so many situations like that, and every time the Ukrainian intelligence managed to geolocate the places and they got shelled and HIMARS'd
there was also the times that the Ukrainian intelligence noticed that a lot of Russian devices were connecting to Ukrainian cell towers
towards the start of the war
I remember a map shared of mobile network pings on a bridge when they were retreating from Kherson
actual 100s lol
and there are also events of phone calls being intercepted where Russians were either panicking or bragging about war crimes to their family members
like ah yes im in enemy territory not only will I give them a way to figure out where I'm located, but also have all my Calls, Text messages, and Data be sent through their towers...what could get wrong
all the had to do was use encryption for their calls and texts, like with Signal
but nope
just begging to be collected
only a couple months ago the Russian MoD told their mobilised men to just not take their phones to the battlefield
which became a major issue because not everyone got walkie talkies
someone who worked for a US intel agency said "we kill people with metadata" and Ukraine was just literally getting full out data -_- I wonder how that is gonna go
I've been reminded of this, Russian communications were unecrypted, at least at the very start of the invasion, and there was this exchange that I found quite amusing https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t4tfhr/ukrainian_and_russian_radio_exchanges_during/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I just...don't understand, its not like we haven't made ways to encrypt even that kind of communication
like a lot of police in the US have their comms encrypted now
I like how the Ukranians just joined in like they were hopping into a Discord VC

not really an "official" telegram, I think, but it has 40k followers, and posts quite a lot about the city and it's surroundings

That's how Sunday goes for the boys, who go to the orthodox club "Great fighting squad of Dmitrij Donskoj". This - is military training. In the group, they say "they bring up the patriots of the native Fatherland" and every training they start with a prayer"
