This seems kidn of odd since many captured soldiers (from this community: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/) tend to say they were part of fuel convoys.

as in, not odd.

it's odd that Russia's failing logistically like that.

but it matches the story since many fuel convoys seem to be failing to make it to the frontlines.

[dull shell]

They Are. You understand this when their ground forces have no helmets

[drowsy quail]

So is it true russia is starting a giant offensive

[dull shell]

Everyone thought Russia has strong army, now everyone see that’s just a myth

[crimson breach]

its part of the issue of massive large scale wars featuring countries entire armies, i saw a report a few years back modeling a hypothetical war between china and a near pear adversary where it essentially boiled the issue down to their army consuming most military fuel *reserves by a week or so

[tiny cliff]

the numbers are complete rubbish

I reckon its more like RU:400, UK:600-1000 (Including irregulars)

[dull shell]

RU lost over 2000 men

[tiny cliff]

Thats horseshit

[worldly plaza]

not as propaganda or whatever, but I'm worried about this. most of the footage i've seen seems to feature poorly-armed, poorly-organized units.

[tiny cliff]

There is no evidence of that at all

[worldly plaza]

my point is, they seem to be throwing recruits at it, supported by air and artillery.

[tiny cliff]

Yeah, UK's army appears to have been caught with its pants down

[worldly plaza]

nah, i mean Russia. i'm worried about the Chechen units they're sending since those are far less culturally aligned with Ukraine.

[tiny cliff]

RU is using a lot of proxies

The eastern front is basically a meat shield#

I don't think much of UK's stats since they keep making wild claims without evidence which are later retracted

[pallid kestrel]

I guess they expected to just take points as fast as possible then break morale with propaganda and such

they already broke the morale by besieging the most important city

[pallid kestrel]

Well kiev was alredy very close to ruasian and bielorussian borders, so its no wonder its besieged this early

[lapis ember]

A good part of the government already transferred to Luhansk iirc

[pallid kestrel]

Most would have know this was a possibility and prepared for it.

Also, another indication they wanted the quick propaganda win is Putins mesagge to the Ukranian military of staging a coup

[drowsy quail]

They didnt really break morale

[pallid kestrel]

They are really betting on morale a lot

[drowsy quail]

Ukraine is still going strong but you can see they are getting exhausted

[analog kernel]

A trump card the Russians have are their 10 railroad brigades, which have no Western equivalents. They specialize in railroad security, construction, and repair, while rolling stock is provided by civilian state companies.

The reason Russia is unique in having railroad brigades is that logistically, Russian forces are tied to railroad from factory to army depot and to combined arms army and, where possible, to the division/brigade level. No other European nation uses railroads to the extent that the Russian army does.

The orginal article this is about is talking about a purchase of French helmets the Ukrainian government made

and plus, even if he’s not real, the ghost of kiev might be the spirit guiding the ukranian fighters

great morale boost

I know just saying lets not assume the identity of the soldiers. Azov is fucked up though if there is anyone i hope the russians get is them

[fickle cliff]

[serene gull]

i support russia in their endeavors

[drowsy quail]

Wait what

[pine narwhal]

I like when innocents die for a dictators conquest* FIFY

[serene gull]

who cares

[pine narwhal]

The ukranians???

[serene gull]

russia has their reasons
people die in war it happens

[drowsy quail]

You serious or trolling? I mean we can disscus stuff if you are serious

[pine narwhal]

Murder also happens, does not make it a good thing...

[serene gull]

im serious

people always go on about innocents this and innocents that
civilian deaths always happen

[drowsy quail]

I mean i think you should check your moral compass bud. Russia is attacking a country and innocents are dying

[drowsy quail]

That does not make it a good thing. We should be trying to prevent that

[serene gull]

america killed 1 million civilians in iraq
civilian deaths are just propaganda pieces for the other side

[analog kernel]

man that whataboutism

[drowsy quail]

Yes because Iraq matters to Ukranians who were forced to abandon their homes,families, jobs and other things

[serene gull]

no not at all
russia is more ''clean'' than the west and i simple support their right to save the people on donbass being attacked by azov nazis

[drowsy quail]

Putin didnt stop at donbass

[serene gull]

yeah he has to win the war

[analog kernel]

so he doesn't care about civilians but he does care about russian civilians

[drowsy quail]

Against who? Innocent people of Ukraine?

[serene gull]

yeah.... he cares about russian civlians

[analog kernel]

We're talking about you

You support him after all

[serene gull]

why? im not in charge of russia

[last nebula]

True because if he loses he'll have to face consequences

[bitter stump]

Mfw there are Russian civilians in ukriane bejng killed by Russians

[serene gull]

shit happens

[fickle cliff]

there is a significant difference between civilians caught in the crossfire, and killed because of enemy forces hiding amongst them, and what the russians are doing, firing artillery and missiles into populated areas with reckless abandon

[indigo spade]

And you guys are worried lol

[analog kernel]

using cruise missiles on civilian infrastructure is not "shit happens".

[fickle cliff]

remember that in an earlier hostage situation, russian tanks fired into the building

[drowsy quail]

Putin is using one group of nazis (groups like this exist in every country even though they shouldnt) as an excuse to invade an entire free country and rob people of their loces

[serene gull]

if that were true the civilian deaths would be way higher

[fickle cliff]

most of the hostages were killed

[analog kernel]

As they say: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Thrice is enemy action.

[cunning owl]

I support the citizens who are undoubtedly planning an assassination on the dictator

[drowsy quail]

Apprently russia doesnt have enough missles

[serene gull]

thats just silly

[analog kernel]

The funny thing is imagine being a putinista and seeing Russia fail like this

[serene gull]

they have 80 years of rockets laying around for their grads

[karmic ether]

It wasthe air defense system

[analog kernel]

How embarassing

[crimson breach]

i mean are you being intentionall... there are multiple clear video proofs of russian cruise missile hitting building blocks

[karmic ether]

It was friendly fire

[bitter stump]

Russia are the good guys clearly, that's why that cruise missile killed a 14 year old riding her bike

[crimson breach]

you are just troll at this point of refusal to view this stuff

[serene gull]

why is kiev still alive if their goal was to murder all the civilians

[fickle cliff]

thats not what we said the goal was

[crimson breach]

man mobile at in the hands of ukrain

[drowsy quail]

@serene gull I mean I cant understand how you can support a guy who is attacking innocent people and also terrorizing his own citizens

[fickle cliff]

just that they are stupidly reckless

[cunning owl]

Their goal isn't to murder all citizens, they just don't care about the citizens their rockets are killing

[crimson breach]

their willingness to defend their land

russian army incomptence

[serene gull]

russia is not attacking civilians they're fighting a war with the army of ukraine

[fickle cliff]

their malding that ukrain air defense is competent

[fickle cliff]

and getting civilians killed because of how reckless they are

[drowsy quail]

They are attacking. They started an Invasion on a country and in the procces killed civilians

[cunning owl]

It would be even more competent if Isreal had allowed the purchase of the iron dome they tried to buy🗿

[serene gull]

civilians get killed in war there is literally no way to avoid it

[last nebula]

Yeah they didn't have to attack

[left stratus]

Five minutes after declaration of war Russia launched missile attacks. One of the first casualties was a 14 year old biker

not a war with civilians

First target literally a city and hadn’t been given time to evacuate

[crimson breach]

Aight, this guy is just trolling, im no longer engaging

[left stratus]

It must be nice living in your dream world

[drowsy quail]

Yeah there is. Dont attack a country without reason

[fickle cliff]

again, difference between civilians being caught in a crossfire because of enemy hiding amongst them, and Civilians killed because of russian recklessness

[serene gull]

compared to what hundreds of strikes on military targets
if their goal was to cause mass civilian deaths why didn't they focus on population centers

[fickle cliff]

There is no real justification for Russia to even be in ukraine to begin with

[bitter stump]

You don't understand man, muh nato

[left stratus]

Because they don’t want all of nato getting involved. They can make a few rocket attacks look like accidents but Russia has never given a shit for civilians. Look at their time in Syria

[drowsy quail]

Its not their goal its just that they have shown they dont care how many civillians die

[serene gull]

just because some people get killed does not mean russia is going to there to kill as many people as possible
you have a cartoon version of whats going on

[analog kernel]

was this the air defense system too?

[fickle cliff]

Imagine malding bcs Ukraine wants to join nato because you suck at being a neighbor

[bitter stump]

Seems like a strategic target to the Russians ig

[analog kernel]

I bet the neonazis were in that apartment

[serene gull]

nato putting nuclear missiles on russia border or bio chemical labs is what russia is worried about

(like turkey)

[analog kernel]

imagine literally surrounding ukraine on all sides and them complaining about being surrounded

[left stratus]

If Russia made it seem like it was gonna be an extinction level event for Ukraine then nato would come in that’s why they are not completely wiping out cities

[crimson breach]

of course, they are always in high rise buildings that russia attacks, why else?

[bitter stump]

Fun fact, president of ukriane is jewish so, ig he is a neonazi

[crimson breach]

obviusly

[analog kernel]

it's true.

[serene gull]

even if russia started murdering people on a mass scale nato would not do anything more than what its doing right now

[cunning owl]

President of Ukraine is a chad

[analog kernel]

But teddy is here to tell you that it's ok because it's war

[cunning owl]

Imagine being president and willingly going down in the trenches

[analog kernel]

and either way NATO is still the bad guy\

[bitter stump]

Sending weapons that are turning Russian tanks into scrap metal?

[analog kernel]

russia is invading ukraine and you can't spend but 5 minutes without going "But NATO is evil but also doesn't care about Ukraine"

[serene gull]

in the long run the west will have killed more people this century than russia will have
russia is not my enemy and i support them

[ebon walrus]

People in the west killed more people than isis

[analog kernel]

yes we hear, you support invading and murdering civilians, we comprehend

[fickle cliff]

oh for fuck sake, this bullshit again, naturally Nato is gonna leave missile sites, especially when midget hitler over here is an ex-KGB agent

[analog kernel]

thank you

[ebon walrus]

Whats your point

[drowsy quail]

Guys @serene gull is a troll just ignore him from this point on

[crimson breach]

well obviously, doing anything other than blaming nato would require inter inspection on your own nation

[fickle cliff]

the russian population does not want to fight

[crimson breach]

yeah, just the usa left and russian economy falls to the ground, great idea for the civilians of russia this war

[bitter stump]

They are the good guys, just doing a peacekeeping mission

[left stratus]

Supporting an aggressor is cringe af teddy

[fickle cliff]

the entirety of the western, no, the rest of the fucking world does not want to fight

even the chinese and middle eastern countries dont want this

[serene gull]

is it ok if the superpower goes across the world to do it

[analog kernel]

no

there is no fucking reason to support this, and yet you do

both are bad, I know, shokcing

[crimson breach]

nope, we denounced the americans, when they did, did your propagada forget that bit?

No you are a troll because we gave you actual arguments and your response was “ I dont care. I support russia”

and therefore, you are a troll, or a severely misinformed fool

[serene gull]

there is something to be said about how the ukrainian government treats people in the donbass

[drowsy quail]

Your arguments was that russia invading Ukraine and civilians dying is ok because NATO did it to other countries?

[serene gull]

no i said it happens no matter who does it

[jovial loom]

[analog kernel]

there is something to be said about how the ukrainian government treats people in the donbass

[drowsy quail]

That doesnt make it right

[analog kernel]

Again Teddy: "it's only bad when it happens to russians"

[ebon walrus]

Ill admit im entirely biased towards the west
This stems from the west being far more transparent than any of the eastern countries.
I think the argument “but america bad” doesnt hold up in a war that america isnt part of.

[serene gull]

civilian deaths are not a real issue in a war unless the military starts targeting civilians on purpose

[fickle cliff]

ngl, im not a huge fan of this series

[drowsy quail]

They are

[serene gull]

they aren't

[fickle cliff]

it just feels like a power fantasy

[bitter stump]

Hey, atleats when America is at war commiting war crimes we find out a day later

[analog kernel]

imagine being so addicted to the taste of putin's butthole that you are backing a country that is failing to invade a neighbor 1/10th as militarily powerful as they are

[drowsy quail]

Yes they are. The only ones to blame for the deaths is the Russian goverment

[analog kernel]

honestly quite impressive

[pallid kestrel]

-"Sir, we completely obliterated a school full of children."
-"Worry not, it was an upsie."

[serene gull]

why is kiev not under constantly air and missle attacks

[analog kernel]

even orban decided this was too much

[drowsy quail]

This is how teddy feels

[serene gull]

why is it not leveled yet

[quiet mango]

Internet connectivity seems to be hampered now since the fight has come to the streets of Kyiv.

[crimson breach]

there must be some sort of adreniline filled rush with the desperate levels they go to

[balmy mantle]

I can't wait for the Ukrainian Counter Offensive into Russia

[bitter stump]

Also America troops are basically always recorded, not saying they are perfect but they seem to be getttinbg better

[fickle cliff]

i mean, its not the first time

[serene gull]

because the russians don't want to cause mass deaths

[bitter stump]

That's not Gonna happen

[analog kernel]

now his argument is just that russia is so competent that if they wanted to cause deaths they would have

[fickle cliff]

Afghanistan
Finland

[analog kernel]

I would disagree with the "the russian army is so competent" case

[serene gull]

yes im saying if the military superpower wanted to they could level a city

[analog kernel]

paper tiger

[crimson breach]

whhaaaaat...corruption and incompetence in the russian army? I'd never...

[analog kernel]

russian logistics are trash it seems

[drowsy quail]

But they are causing civillian death and injury for no reason. They are the ones who are attacking

[bitter stump]

Man the Russian army is so competent that they send SFs to do missions like capture a air field with zero support, so competent

[fickle cliff]

Russian invasion of ukraine is equivalent of us invading vietnam, but straight to the part where civilians back home and soldiers abroad no longer want to fight

[balmy mantle]

@bitter stump This Has been a Crazy year. 2 moths ago all of us thought a Russian full on assult would never happen too.

[serene gull]

why does this matter
that happens in literally every war no matter how careful you are

[crimson breach]

this^^

[fickle cliff]

They lost support of the logi union

[crimson breach]

vietnam was wrong, THIS is wrong

[drowsy quail]

And @serene gull how do you explain Russian police using physical force against its own citizens who are peacefully protesting

[analog kernel]

going to war to liberate ukraine from its lives

[bitter stump]

Nah alot of people knew something would come, they just didn't know when

[waxen monolith]

clearly they expected to have won by now

[serene gull]

the russians have done this since forever

[drowsy quail]

Just because it happens it doesnt make it right

[fickle cliff]

difference being that ukraine will force them out a lot faster

[drowsy quail]

And you agree with it?

[serene gull]

i don't care about them doing it

[fickle cliff]

Russia has a track record for being an authoritarian country

[devout heron]

ffs im out i cant listen to this putin shit

[fickle cliff]

[bitter stump]

Wdym, Vietnam worked, look at the country now

[crimson breach]

Yeah, imma leave you guys to this guy, i gotta go eat, but avoid feeding the russian troll

[fickle cliff]

The Russian Federation, which also is unbelievably indifferent to the welfare of their own citizens

[crimson breach]

XD

[drowsy quail]

So @serene gull since you clearly dont care about civillians dying and a goverment assaulting the very citizens it is supposed to protect, I think you should reconsider what you consider morally right

[bitter stump]

But you can say America won the long fight, one Russia can't win cause well...

[balmy mantle]

How has this effected the common Russian ? How are the Prices of goods today?

[serene gull]

at the end of the day
the west really has no morale ground to stand on over russia invading a country that is semi hostile to it
its all just political theater by power hungry western politicians trying to maintain the wests global domination

[ebon walrus]

Okay and? Does ukraine have no moral ground?

[limber vault]

[ebon walrus]

I dont see the west shooting at russia

[balmy mantle]

Using the "They did it first Argument" Doesn't give you moral high ground.

russia is not my enemy and i support them

Its okay we are the sheep

Russia does not give a shit about donbas

Ukriane wasn't hostile to Russia, ukriane said they wouldn't join nato just so Russia doesn't invade that's the opposite of hostile lol

The ghost strikes again

[gray ermine]

I think I came at a bad time

[drowsy quail]

Yeah teddy is just a shitty person with no good arguments who thinks we are hating on him just because he supports Russia even though he openly said he doesnt care about a Regime attacking its own people. I will stop replying to him suggest everbody does the same

Dunno, if it's ghost, maybe just my guys with manpads

For you teddy

[fickle cliff]

even better, russia could have just stopped being a massive dick, making ukraine want to join to begin iwth

[slender bison]

Could some one kill putin already. Why do the russians always wait so long to rebel.

Putin would never attack nato

stop adding how you feel and projecting it onto others

Nope, we're a bit far from West Ukraine, but I think we'll get them sooner or later

[fickle cliff]

they also claim their not firing on civillians

Russia will suffer for years after all this is over due to the sanctions .

I don't normally get involved with this stuff but Teddy I wish that the next time you eat bacon it's slightly cold and rubbery

Haha. Sure. I know why theyd lie about it, but to be fair they did give them chance to surrender.

[limber vault]

I can neither confirm nor deny it

[gray ermine]

Teddy,

Step on a lego

[ebon walrus]

Putins been planning on retiring for a while now, i wonder how much he will actually be affected

[slender bison]

Also have you seen how small that base was? Theres no way they survived a missle strike from a russian warship.

[limber gale]

Russia doesn't give a damn about the sanctions, they have been getting sanctioned for the past 8 years

[slender bison]

Russian warship missles be chunk

Just Remember Robucks are more Valuable then Russian Currency right now

[ebon walrus]

I wonder how much of this is just his own desire as opposed to an actual smart geopolitical move. But then again im not much in terms of a geopolitician and putin is highly experienced

[slender bison]

I mean theirs value in the Ukraine

But sounds like the Russians aint doing so well

[gray ermine]

But for real Teddy, I wish I had the resources to send a large box filled with glitter, not normal glitter but the really fine glitter

there is great value but not wreck your economy and become internationl pariahs worth it

apart from hating black people he was alright

Im talking about teddy not andrew

[ebon walrus]

America's conflict with Spain was later described as a "splendid little war" and for Theodore Roosevelt it certainly was. His combat experience consisted of one week's campaign with one day of hard fighting. "The charge itself was great fun", he declared, and "Oh, but we had a bully fight."

[slender bison]

Well yeah

I thinl most calvary men even today would see it that way

[ebon walrus]

He is the manliest person ever but that doesn’t necessarily make you a good one 😉

[slender bison]

...I still dont see what youre saying makes him a bad person?

Cause he liked fighting?

[slender bison]

And honestly it was a splendid little war relatively speaking. Both sides fought with honor and it was short

No mass war crimes either

And remember the whole thing about the US Sailors jumping into manilla bay to save spanish sailors theyd been firing on just an hour prior?

[ebon walrus]

Blame the maine on spain

Not sure why you are supporting an unnecessary war but hey, nothing like some needless killing to show some grit and have a splendid lil time

[slender bison]

....ok? They were probably going to go to war anyway you realize that right? It was in America's interest, the American people at the time were for it, all the maine explosion did was quicken things

[indigo spade]

Who's Su-25?

[slender bison]

Its not "needless killing", and if you honestly think the war was just "for fun" then I dont think you understand much about it.

there was a tweet somewhere saying all the good chechens died fighting the russians

[indigo spade]

Thats why I would rather say it sooner than later

[dull shell]

Chechens hate Russians, Russians bombed their capital down to basements

Chechens are fighting for Russia tho, apprently their second in command was killed

The Ukrainians are kinda treating the war like its a mild inconvenience

Guess theyre used to it

[dull shell]

Gunfight’s all over Kyiv, killing Russian saboteurs

[limber gale]

They have been in conflict for the past 8 years

[topaz hedge]

They’ve kinda been through this for the past 8 years so not so surprising

Or at least they were damn well prepared for it

[slender bison]

Putin if the russians take the capitol putin should just show up and duel the ukranian president

[analog kernel]

Reports from the US claim Russia has now committed more than half of the forces around Ukraine

[topaz hedge]

Dude holy shit yes

I guess its more like: "When Volodymyr Zelenskyy leaves, thats when we are actually fucked"

[waxen monolith]

probably not but well when you bomb a city you kill the wrong people sometimes gotta be ready to deal with the fallout

[topaz hedge]

Yeah that’s not something I’d like to wake up to

That said yesterday I was particularly annoyed when I woke of from the middle of a nice dream I had

[topaz hedge]

Stay safe mate

Russia done fucked up

[dull shell]

Thanks, everyone sitting at home

[slender bison]

This is a war. Do you expect that sort of thing not to happen? Guarantee you ever nation has done something similar by accident at some point or another. I dont like the fact the Russians are invading but I wont call them evil for something that comes with every conflcit.

[dull shell]

They took hostages of Chernobyl Power Plant and do nothing as for now

[analog kernel]

Yes

[waxen monolith]

if you really want to bomb a city atleast have the decency to allow atleast a day of civilian evacuation

[fickle cliff]

they fired rockets and tank shells into a building with hostages, killing most of the hostages

does that answer your question?

[slender bison]

Ok yeah, I agree

50% of total forces or the ones surrounding Ukraine?

And here I am thinking the russians learned to be civil in conflcit

Conflict*

[dull shell]

We having a new part of Metro series rn in Kyiv

[fading dove]

thank you for link

[topaz hedge]

The idea is that the Ukrainians can’t counter arty the batteries in Chernobyl without accidentally hitting the Sarcophagus. Ingenious and also fucked up

[analog kernel]

I'm sure there are some people who would like Russia to only be defended by border guards

[dull shell]

There’s a kids being born in metro

[balmy mantle]

@dull shell Why did you have to remind me that this will delay stalker2 and the next metro game

[crimson breach]

Alright, so it’s well the 50% of those allotted to the surrounding of Ukraine

[lapis ember]

It’s forces around Ukraine. Aka the 150k that they had deployed

[slender bison]

Well st least they arent sabotaging the plant on purpose some shit

[crimson breach]

That’s still a lot of people

[dull shell]

Because were having stalker 2 rn lulz

[analog kernel]

Russian logistics is not as solid as Russian combat power

And the latter is already in question

[dull shell]

They started helping Ukraine only when they saw strong resistance

[balmy mantle]

@dull shell Is this true?

[topaz hedge]

Wouldn’t the 75k troops also include logistics units?

[dull shell]

Yes

Russians apparently don’t have maps of Ukraine cities

[worldly crane]

Not just due to where the cameras are. News will rightfully and also cause of views point out the most egregious casualties. Meaning kids, kindergartens, schools, hospitals, etc.

Russian forces came to friends house trading food for fuel. Of course no one gave them fuel

[analog kernel]

A trump card the Russians have are their 10 railroad brigades, which have no Western equivalents. They specialize in railroad security, construction, and repair, while rolling stock is provided by civilian state companies.

The reason Russia is unique in having railroad brigades is that logistically, Russian forces are tied to railroad from factory to army depot and to combined arms army and, where possible, to the division/brigade level. No other European nation uses railroads to the extent that the Russian army does.

[fickle cliff]

Me and the partisan gang on our way to make their deployment hell on earth:
