That's one of the weirdest videos I have seen from the Russian military (trimmed in two parts).
An armless and head-injured Russian soldier in Ukraine is given an order in a hospital room, but he cannot take it, and someone hangs it up on him.
Second part:
The armless man is poured with vodka, saying, "Dear comrades and officers. We've been to places that are scary to remember. Although this situation happened to me, I would like to say there is no point in being discouraged; everything will be fine.”
After the speech, the assembled disabled neighbors applaud. And the mother happily says, "Oh, you clever boy!"
Igor Girkin update on the front situation from 26.07:
"Kharkiv Front - positional and local battles.
Izyum Front (Sloviansk direction) - the same.
Seversk-Soldar-Bakhmut (Artemovsk) front - local battles with tactical (in some places) insignificant advance of our troops...
Seversk and surrounding heights remain in enemy hands.
Directly to the outskirts of Soledar and Bakhmut, our troops have not yet reached. At the southern end, the enemy is forced to move out of the ledge near the Uglegorsk thermal power plant and the Novoluganskoye village.
As of yesterday evening, our forces haven't established complete control over both of these points, although their further retention for a long time for the enemy is difficult, and he will be forced to leave them soon.
Igor Girkin war predictions from 25.07, my translation:
"When a cat has nothing to do - he licks eggs" - this is how I can comment on the all-Russian large-scale preparations for the celebration of "Navy Day" against the background of the lack of public interest in the…
…authorities in solving the urgent tasks of the army and navy fighting in the southwestern theater of operations.
And - in general - I got the feeling that the Kremlin, for some reason, decided that the Russian Federation would be able to "play its" Vietnam "in Ukraine" without
much damage for several years - without mobilizing the army and industry in the "metropolis" - only personnel troops of the "army of satellites" ("mobiles" of the LDNR). Like - "somehow, little by little, we will push the Armed Forces of Ukraine out of the Donbas, and then
Vladyslav is the head of a border guard unit. He talks about the enemy's command center in the village of Poliske, Kyiv region, and how the AFU managed to eliminate it in March.
The video was published yesterday on the State Border Service of Ukraine Telegram Channel - DPSUkr.
«They were collecting, as you can see, a lot of ammunition of different caliber RPGs, AGS, 30 caliber for helicopters, BMPs, grenades, and whatever else was there.
We collected information from the locals and gave it to the armed forces, they checked it, and then if they confirmed this information, they destroyed the target using artillery.
If we take armored vehicles and trucks, it is about 50 pieces of equipment that have been destroyed.
Interview with Eugene, call sign "Spaniard," commander of a mortar crew of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces. The video was published today by @UButusov. It was filmed during Severodonetsk's battle directly from the city.
My translation:
Interviewer(I): Eugene, in what unit are you fighting in Severodonetsk?
Eugene(E): Pechersk Territorial Defense Forces 205, Kyiv city.
(I): Fancy name, but in fact, it is the real infantry, which now does the heavy fighting for Severodonetsk. Please tell me your military specialty? What do you do?
(E): I'm a mortar officer, commander of a mortar crew.
(I): Have you ever been in combat?
Translation: "Today, Russia launched another fake that the state is not governed by President Zelensky because he is in the hospital, or rather in the intensive care unit, due to his serious health condition. So, I am in the cabinet. I have never felt as strong as I am now...
Bad news for you who launch such fakes: I am not alone. There are 40 million people like me. And with all due respect to the elderly, 44 is not 70," Zelensky said, perhaps alluding to the age of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin."
I have an interesting story to tell:
A friend from Canada asked me in December about the war and she was really scared about this option. I was on my way to visit my parents for Christmas.
I have written a lengthy message on 09.12.2021 elaborating why the war will NOT begin. I have also added some pictures to make the thread more interesting. Here it is:
"Hello,
It is nice to hear from you! I’m good right now, doing a master's degree. I’m not in Ukraine right now but I’m gonna go there for Christmas.
To be honest, I don’t think people in Ukraine are worried that much.
