There is no denying the fact that the Ukrainian side is winning. No one has taken Kiev in four days. No one has taken Kiev in a month. And they won’t take it again. The Russian side concentrates its forces where it sees an opportunity to do something. This is already a 100% defeat for Russia. There is nothing to even discuss here.
The surrender of marines in Mariupol looks legit. According to some sources it’s 501th Marines battalion (501 обмп) not 503
There are some counts that make it look legit (the inherent plausibility of soldiers surrendering after this much fighting in desperate conditions, men are wearing Ukrainian equipment), others that make it look faked (the troops look fresh, the troops appear as though they haven’t been properly disarmed and frisked, there are no wounded, etc). And for either possibility, you can come up with plausible-sounding explanations to explain the apparent discrepancies (equipment looted from captured headquarters,… Read more »
actually, in other video they even shown one of captured woman soldiers, but she was captured on 23.3… so it looks like a fake video made with already captured people and some Russian/DLR troops pretending to be Ukrainians (clean white sneakers on their feet, one even had grenades with him)…
agreed and the video you are referring to was obviously staged for the media. But there is plenty of evidence that the surrender did happen. Russian war correspondent Sladkov filmed the actual event, it took place at night with all the frisking, disarming etc

Naturally all can be fake but it seems plausible

@ militaryland: I have been following your summary for several weeks. There are several videos on social media showing russian troops withdrawing the city of Buryn. I have watched three videos in total, all from the city of Buryn. These were large russian columns that left the town. I guess we will have more detailed information on the presence of russian troops in this specific area soon. Thanks again for your work. Appreciate it.
? you have two Oleksandrivka’s near Kherson ??
one north, one west??
Yes, check in on google maps. There are quite a few Oleksandrivkas in Ukraine
You should probably turn off the comments here. People are idiots.
Totally agree mate, the reports are amazing but the comment section is pure shit in general. They must be bots or people without brain cells.
