International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[Rod1]

For those still supporting Ukraine and thinking there’s no Neo Nazi infestation in their military



The Zelensky and Bandera loving neo Nazi regime must be eradicated at all costs.

So they are blaming the West and not, you know, the Russians that are going to kill them?

I lot of those kids don't look anywhere close to 18. They're sending minors to fight while fighting age Zelensky, all the political and business elite, and Ukrainian women sit back and do nothing.

I wonder if Zelensky has even donated his 8-9 figure net worth to the cause.

Fairly interesting case

One of our bank people tracked where russia gets its soldiers by tracking bank deposits

And of course its poor regions

Tuva at number 1 followed by in no particular order dagestan, kalmykia, chechnya, Buryatia and Altai

Not much actual "russian" soldiers and also they are being paid ridiculous money to join up, recruitment bonus is 10x average pay

Weird, the notoriously anti-Russian ISW said that despite their initial assumptions the percentage of ethnic Russians (Russkies) fighting and dying in Ukraine was proportional to their overall representation. Muscovites, however, weren't being drafted in large numbers.

Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to discuss negotiations with Ukraine as a means of separating Ukraine from its Western supporters by portraying Kyiv as unwilling to compromise or even to engage in serious talks. During a news conference at the Eurasian Economic Union summit in...

BBC concluded that although citizens of national republics (such as Dagestan, Buryatia, Altai, and Bashkortostan) are sent to the front and die in combat at higher rates than citizens of ethnically Russian regions, in absolute terms, ethnic Russians comprise the majority of Russian military deaths, and their proportion of the military dead is approximately equal to their proportion in the overall Russian population.[12] BBC concluded that this finding suggests that discrepancies in Russian force generation efforts therefore fall along regional and territorial lines as opposed to predominantly ethnic lines and noted that military service is seen as the only lifeline in regions on Russia‘s economic periphery where social mobility is greatly restrained.[13] As ISW has previously observed, the impacts of force generation have been firmly siloed on a regional basis, which further breaks down along overlapping ethnic and socioeconomic lines.[14] The BBC investigation partially contradicts ISW’s previous assessments that the Kremlin was attempting to shield the ethnic Russian population from the war by drawing disproportionately on minority regions. ISW has no basis for questioning this conclusion.

It is reality everyone with a bit of brains in Russia does knows well and here I don't talk about just mobiks.

Recruiting of mercenaries is more successful in poor areas.....
The same Checnyua : Karidrov is hestitant to sent lads from Grozny to frontline....and nor wagner nor rus military or Kadirov had high success to recruit lads from Grozny....these ofc gladly agreed to work in OMOH ( riot control etc....while initially were supposed to fight vs armed gangs ).
Low unemployment % and relatively normal salaries in Grozny is reality......
While if you visit remote villages in Checnya, where high unemployment % and very low salaries: ask labs who doesn't have job and recently had served military mando service and you WILL GET mercenaries....

 

[SandisLL]

Then about Avdiivka and Zelensky isn't popular in Ukraine....anymore....

First thing for debioids who are meat: 3 rd assault brigade in reality does have nothing common with original azovites just name. Original azovites are in comfort and troll might be envy and scared ....also their number was low even in 2020 th..

3rd brigade also had get low KIA numbers because it wasn't possible to install all brigade with such tough pincers...
A bit and even this as fake action to easy " evacuation ".
Ukraine had abadoned their vounded soldiers in a lot of cases....
Most stufferings had lads from 110 th brigade , territ defense lads etc...
Sadly a lot of long term hardcore pro Ukr oriented posters had confirmed this....incl not anonymous profiles.
Mr Zelensky is personally responsible as Supereme Chief of Armed forces and Supreme Commander....
Only he does have rights to allow retreat city.

Also this like Bakhmut was Bakhmut No2 in last week and the same scenario: not enough guarded flanks , allowed to apply pincers and approx week to late " evacuation "...

 

[SandisLL]

Then about 50 b € bill.
EC had postponed release of these funds until audit procedures and additional monitoring will be applied.
In best case Urzula will release these funds in next month.....
This is reality and Ukraine might be happy that Dombrovskis didn't had told anything in EC / EP session ( Dombrovskis loves to advise austerity measures and without him Urzula will not sign paper...and IMF too).

what the fuck is Russian air command doing? Why are they flying these so close to UKR AD?

i think they're currently testing a replacement for the A-50....the Beriev A-100?

I don't know. In 2022 th they had 4 A -50 in working condition and they are very expensive ...even for russia with Putin....
As bare minimum 330 m $ for 1 peace in best case. Without sanctions.
Confirmed damage for these =1 loss and 1 damage.

Nice

According to GUR it was quite far actually.

Dude people have baby faces. When I was 18 people thought I was 14. It sucked then but good now since I'm old and look young

It isn't public info ofc.
While you don't need any special access in order to see areas where is easy to recruit guys....
By using only open public access info ......

It is slaughterhouse .....for both sides. China is happy.
