What it's like in Moscow from the perspective of a young woman in her early 20s from Eastern Russia.

She has some other videos too, one showing Mcdonalds, which was a symbol of the fall of the USSR, has been replaced by something called "Tasty Period" - which is meant to mean one thing, but sounds like, you know... Ironically, they got rid of all the red on boxes... everything is served in plain blank-white cardboard.

That's looking like Izyum is pretty much cut-off and liberation is only a matter of time. here's hoping.

There's the burning question of how can the international community make sure these war criminals, attacking civilians, are held accountable.
I mean, it was difficult enough with the Iraq War, while some were caught, it was because of investigative journalists risking their lives and having a country who has to punish these things - my guess is the vast majority went unpunished. It's been that way since the Boer War. How can the criminals be held accountable when they're all inside Russia? The only way is if the Putin government gets replaced by a more just regime put in place by the Russians themselves.

So, the west should support young Russians, while the Russian government loves to prop up pro-Russia nationalist young people to try and influence others. The vast majority of young people are anti-Putin or can be easily turned into such. Unfortunately, many are being brainwashed right now in the same way we've seen nationalistic brainwashing in the west, except much worse... Putin is uses the same firehose of falsehoods tactic used by Western nationalist demagogues, but he's actually used it for longer, he basically wrote the modern edition of the book on it - the same thing used by Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s. Just keep spitting out falsehoods, and the news keeps reporting them, and the debunkers can't work fast enough to debunk them because by the time they do another falsehood or two, or twenty, is already in the headlines and these pick up the credulous and gullible like a rotting dead animal covered in feces picks up flies and maggots.

Holy shit that tank video! Never seen anything like it. The driver must have been in full panic mode. Maybe fleeing bombardment?

That would be awesome if Ukraine could retake Crimea.

I definitely like the strategy of counter attacking in Donetsk and Luhansk. Because that kind of attack undermines Putin and Russia even more, since they have changed their objectives to be just that recently. Can't claim the war is successful in the slightest if even an inch of the Donetsk/Luhansk region is liberated by Ukraine.

If Ukraine just focused on Kherson and Crimea, then Russia could fortify along the Dnipro river and Crimean crossings to buy time, while they make plans to take the rest of Donetsk and Luhansk.

For the record though, Ukraine’s recent gains have been in the Kharkiv region.

I was fully expecting a strong counter-offensive and slow collapse of Russian military, but news in past couple of days still feel unbelieveable!

Of course, but the pressure is clearly going towards the effort in Donbas, and not securing all of Kharkiv.

Well Ukraine said they wanted to host Eurovision next year, seems they're pretty serious about it.

And in other ground-breaking revelatory news - the sky is blue and water is wet.

Seriously not surprising. There were reports the drones from Iran were performing poorly. Did anyone really expect North Korean armaments to be up to scratch?
