Ukraine war mega thread

[Troy]

It has been confirmed by several sources, even the Russians have confirmed that there were explosions at the base. There will be more information posted tomorrow.

I don't see any confirmation of a strike on Taganrog air base. I did see a report taken down by Ukraine and another showing that the photo in the top right of your report being the explosions at Novofedorovka. I would also be surprised if HIMARS was used since Ukraine has agreed not to use the system against Russian territory and they don't want to risk a loss of arms supply from the west.

I'm not saying it didn't happen, only that you should wait for official confirmation or you'll be doing an OhOh.

IZIUM/1330 UTC 13 SEP/ UK Intel discloses that the prestigious Russian 1st Guards’ Tank Army has been destroyed. This top-teir force is the largest single unit lost by Russia since World War II. Information is evolving, but captured RU troops may number in 10s of thousands.

I'm not saying it didn't happen, only that you should wait for official confirmation or you'll be doing an OhOh.

Something did happen there, that is for sure, there are multiple reports of big explosions at the airbase and that air defense systems were triggered. So maybe it was partisans instead of missiles, but I am going to put my money on HIMARS. See here...

Residents of several cities in the Rostov region reported a powerful explosion. Citing eyewitnesses, local publication 161.ru noted that the distance between some of the witnesses was nearly 125 miles.
The sound of the explosion was heard by 161.ru readers in Rostov-on-Don, Azov, Taganrog, Novoshakhtinsk, Shakhty, Novocherkassk, Aksay, and Yeysk.
According to eyewitnesses, "fences trembled in some places" after the explosion and car alarms went off in Rostov-on-Don. Near the village of Peshkovo (about 30 miles from Rostov-on-Don), witnesses noticed three or four sources of black smoke.

Baza, citing eyewitness accounts, videos and photos on social media, reported that an air-defense system in Taganrog had been triggered, and that black smoke could be seen near the village of Chaltyr (about 12 miles from Rostov-on-Don).
161.ru wrote that the press service of the main directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Rostov region had no information about the explosion or other emergencies. Representatives of the regional authorities have not commented on the situation.

From Heather Cox Richardson's blog......

"German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tweeted today that he had a 90-minute phone call with Putin in which he demanded that Russia withdraw its troops from Ukraine and recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Fifty Russian municipal deputies have publicly called for Putin to resign."

IZIUM AXIS: /0300 YTC 14 SEP/ UKR has yet to release figures on the number of RU prisoners taken, but at least one unit, the 1st Guards Tank Army has been rendered hors de combat, defeated and disarmed, this unit numbers more than 10K men. The extent of this defeat is epic.

I don't see any confirmation of a strike on Taganrog air base.

Your video.

"Russian generals realize the war is lost" - Interview with Garry Kasparov "12,870 views 12 Sept 2022 Garry Kasparov, considered to be one of the greatest chess players in history, having held the number spot for a record-setting 255 months, and a leading voice in the Russian opposition, sat down with the Kyiv Post to discuss how the West can pressure Putin, the scandal embroiling the chess world today, and what the future of Ukraine will be."

1. Kyiv Post

2. a leading voice in the Russian opposition

3. No Russian generals named that state they "realise the war is lost".

4. The intervened selling his own organisation.

5. No facts, all opinions.

Thank you for watching Bsnub's video
But as always you forgot the best part.

The continuation of the war will have a dramatic effect inside of Russia. You have wounded soldiers coming back to the poor countryside. We don’t know the exact numbers but the latest leak from the Ministry of Defense put the death toll at 50k. That’s a big number to deal with, even for Russia.

Those who were mobilized or were wounded will cause chaos. Here in America we know this post-war syndrome. These returning soldiers will cause problems.

The situation in Russia will deteriorate.

At the same time, we believe that those Russians who wish to leave Putin’s “North Korea,” as we jokingly call it, and who wish to come to “South Korea” and the free world, should be given this opportunity if they sign a decree simple that the war is criminal, Putin’s regime is illegitimate, and that Ukraine is whole. We are seeking a combined approach.

We hope that friendly governments will understand and that’s why we are already talking to a number of governments about this. There’s likely around 100,000 Russians who are ready to completely cut all ties with Putin’s Russia.



If there was something that you could tell Ukrainians: What would you tell them?
Their heroism is so refreshing at a time of cynicism. I wish them strength. I believe that we all owe them big. I don’t think we could ever compensate them for the sacrifices they’ve made, not just for their country, but for freedom around the world.

As a Russian citizen – though with the longest record of fighting Putin – I still feel responsible for the suffering that the Ukrainians are suffering and caused by Putin’s criminal regime. We will never be able to repay Ukraine for their sacrifices, heroism, and spirit. Ukraine is a beacon to the free world.

What Ukraine has done has reminded all of us that we had values and ideas worth fighting for – and dying for.

Since Putler is a pussy the question is:

"Will Putler go nuclear?"

[OhOh]

But as always you forgot the best part.

Fail.

I didn't comment on the video's content, I commented on the source and the interviewed's person's lack of displayed knowledge.

Which confirmed the person's lack of ability to substantiate, on any opinions, true or false.

[panama hat]

Fail

A good description of Putin's murderous rampage

OhWoe is still happily posting TASS and Global News crap to the contrary . . . it's a tactical withdrawal from certain areas it seems

Ukraine war: Evacuation plea after major dam hit by strikes - BBC News

Ukraine war: Evacuation plea after major dam hit by strikes

Residents in a southern Ukrainian city are being urged to evacuate because of a risk of flooding, after missiles hit a major reservoir dam.


As many as 22 streets in two districts of Kryvyi Rih are affected, city head Oleksandr Vilkul warned on Wednesday.


Officials said a water flow of 100 cubic metres per second was gushing from breaches, and water levels in the Inhulets river were rising dangerously.


Ukraine said the strike was revenge by Russia for its recent counter-attack.


President Volodymyr Zelensky described Russia as a "terrorist state".


"You are weaklings who fight civilians," Mr Zelensky, who was born in Kryvyi Rih, said in his late night address on Wednesday. "Scoundrels who, having escaped from the battlefield, are trying to do harm from somewhere far away," he added.


This was an apparent reference to Ukraine's recent military successes in a swift counter-offensive in the country's north-eastern Kharkiv region. It has seen Ukraine's army reclaim swathes of occupied territory, forcing Russian troops to retreat.


The precise scale of Ukraine's gains has not been verified by the BBC.


Mr Zelensky said the reservoir had "no military value at all".


Water supplies have been affected by the attack, officials say - and about 600,000 people are now at risk of flooding in the centre and another district of the city, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office.


Moscow has not publicly commented on Wednesday's reported missile strikes.


Russia's military had earlier admitted hitting energy-generating targets that caused widespread blackouts affecting millions of people in eastern Ukraine last weekend.

Olaf Scholz urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to completely withdraw his troops from Ukraine during a call Tuesday, as the German chancellor faces growing pressure at home to give more military aid to Kyiv.

those calls have been going on for over 4 months, but they have sent helmets and some cold war anti aircraft guns oh and graciously allowed some states to offer German produced military kit.

Ever since the Russians have started getting their teeth kicked in, Sabang has disappeared from the forum.

It's good to see the Russian fuckers are still focussing on military targets

[hallelujah]

All truth in Oh Doh's world. How can it not be true when the Russian government have said so?

I'm really enjoying watching the squirming and obfuscation from the odious apologists on here.

It has been very enjoyable indeed. Their false reality is crumbling away beneath their very feet.

Guardian correspondent Luke Harding chronicles the key historical events that led to the invasion of Ukraine, from the Euromaidan protests to the annexation of Crimea, and explains why Putin's belief that Russians and Ukrainians are 'one people' is rooted in history from a thousand years ago.

Ya ancient history and before nation states even existed. Idiocy.

Clearly day drinking again, as you have no idea WTF you are talking about. Germany has provided Ukraine with some of its best kit. Olaf Scholz may well be a bitch, but the Germans have done and will ultimately do more. The Ukrainians will ultimately get Leopard tanks and Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and they will get them in large number. Rheinmetall has fully refitted models of both aforementioned vehicles ready to roll across the border as soon as that koont Scholz signs off on it.

As usual, you are spewing a load of tosh.
