International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V7

[MTT]

Latest video from Patrick Lancaster, a journalist who actually tells the truth.
Warning: Show video of corpse.

You're promoting Patrick Lancaster as a journalist who actually tells the truth. He's framed as an American independent journalist while embedded with the Russian army. On multiple occasions, he's been accused of staging pro-Russian false flag videos involving corpses. Is he pro-Russian or not? Some of you gargle this thick Russian propaganda as if it's the antidote to the lying western media. You can detect pro-Ukrainian propaganda every time but struggle to catch these simpletons.

For someone who hasn't been paying attention for about a month, how's the war going?

- Ukraine lost first line of defense in Donbass after more than two months of fighting in the towns of that line (both sides had heavy losses). They are expected to withdraw all their left troops in Lysichansk by the end of week. War in the slightly tighter second line of defense from Siversk down to Bakhmut might not start immediately as russians and lpr/dpr are exhausted from constant non-stop fighting and they might want to rest, consolidate and replenish before going to an offensive again

- other fronts have minor mostly insignificant (tactical) changes

- russians made a decision to finally leave Snake Island after very interesting battles in that region in May and June (worthy of making a movie/documentary in the future). Odessa can breathe better now, at least for a while

- exchange of POW continues to happen which is the good news

A Russian oligarch's seized $75 million superyacht will be first up for auction, report says

"A superyacht belonging to Russian tycoon Dmitry Pumpyansky will be the first seized. vessel to be auctioned following an order from Gibraltar's supreme court.

ESysman SuperYachts, a YouTube channel that reports on seizure of oligarchs' vessels, said in a video that the court had ordered the 240ft Axioma to be sold.

In most cases, authorities cannot sell a seized superyacht without going through legal battles, saddling them with running and maintenance costs that can amount to between 10% and 15% of the vessel's value a year.

JPMorgan was involved in the seizure of the vessel in March after Pumpyansky became subject to western sanctions."

I've got bad news on the dock fees for a boat like that.

Probably more than my house payments!

Cant secure an island less than 200 miles from homeport of your Black Sea Fleet. Cant even destroy the equipment you left behind.

75 million that's a dingy for Putin's 700 million dollar yacht. Side note yacht sales are down at the beginning of the year likely due to over buying the last 4 years and reality you don't need a 100 million dollar yacht to have a good time. Yacht charters are the way to go with a boat like this one easy 350,000 a week not including fuel.

The Pentagon will also provide Ukraine with two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, or NASAMS, as well as up to 150,000 rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition and four additional counter-artillery radars.

The new package brings the U.S. commitment to approximately $6.9 billion since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked invasion on Feb. 24.

Amazing the things a country can do when the Russian minority is a tiny percent of the population

Didn't usa already give 40 billion in equipment etc?

 

[AWilder]

this is what we need to see more of. If Ukraine can hit the russian artillery before it can scoot, they will start shifting the course of the war.

Wont stop until all Russia speaking areas become Russia.

Notice how the hoaxes are becoming less believable: 2016: Russia collusion 2017: Trump calls Nazis "fine people" 2020: Trump says drink bleach to stop COVID 2020: Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation 2021: J6 is an "insurrection" 2022: Trump tried carjacking the POTUS limo

Next will be "russians ran out of ammo, generals, tanks and moral"

They coud give whole arsenal (and are) Ukraine will lose. Only thing that will stop Russia is nukes or you know negotiate...whole war coulda been prevented actually with diplomacy. But bone heads we got leading think they are still in unipolar moment with Iraq.
