I am going to do a very brief update for October 13th. You could call this an update for October 11,12,13, and whatever other days I missed because not much has happened. #ukrdailyupdate
Near Kupyansk, Ukraine moved forward and appear to have liberated Pischane. I have no actual confirmation of this liberation, but Ukrainian troops are east of it and multiple Russian sources claims it is under Ukrainian control so whatever let's roll with it.
Russia has made a lot of blatantly false claims about retaking towns near Kreminna, but their claim today to have retaken Pischane (lol) and Chervonopopivka actually seem to be both reasonable and likely true. They claim to be attacking Terny, it's probably in the *direction of*.
I think everyone is tired of the “did they liberate Terny and Torske” messages. No. The Russian propagandists lied. Just like they always do. Just like they are paid to do.
Do you really think they would spend a week *literally crying* about losing these towns and then not post vidoes if they were recaptured?
Furthermore, don’t you think Wargonzo, a guy who is emotionally (and romantically) involved with the town of Lyman (it is really creepy, I cannot stress that enough) would be the first to jump at announcing such a thing? Instead, he talked about everywhere else in Ukraine.
I am going to post an essay (is this the right word?) written by yuri Gudymenko. This will take several tweets, but I am posting in the original language.
Я не про мову, звичайно, хоча мову вони не розуміють теж – звідси всі легенди про «польскіх найомніков» після радіоперехоплень українською. Я про інше.
Вони абсолютно, цілком і повністю не розуміють нашу психологію.
Наприклад, зараз вони впевнені, що після вчорашніх ударів ми хочемо здатись, хоча насправді після вчорашніх ударів ми тільки більше хочемо перемоги – і рекордно швидкі збори донатів на армію це підтверджують.
