This is the link to the report by the 3 Russian hacker group that discovered the entire ukrainian network of "russian" telegram channels that the Ukrainians used to publish misinformation as well as solicit money "for the russian troops".

Unfortunately,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The main guy behind the entire network is identified by the Russian hacker coalition group, is a Ukrainian call Ilchuk Luka Igorevich.

He is allegedly directed by a supervisor from the SBU (Secret Service of Ukraine). ImageImageImage

Lets write a short thread on the multi-facet geopolitical reality of the Ukraine War.

Prior to 2014, Ukraine is a 50-50 country. Half the people are pro-west; half are pro-russia. The president then was pro-russian voted in with 90% votes in the donbass region.
Overthrow him without due process, what do you think the regions who voted him with 90% votes gonna think or do?

The violence at maidan may or may not be instigated by the west; but regardless, that happened. and used as an excuse to overthrow the president.

Anarchy.
Russia's only western warm naval base is in Crimea, and it is leased to them due to soviet era politics where Crimea was cut away from Russia to give to Ukraine to strengthen Ukraine for internal political reasons.

Russia CANNOT afford to lose the port

Russia invaded/annexed it

[ Battle of Bakhmut ] Ukraine to STAY & FIGHT for Bakhmut; Zelenskyy throwing Generals under the bus

#War #Military #UkraineWar #Russia #Ukraine #UkraineRussia #RussianInvasion #UkraineRussianWar #RussianUkrainianWar

In a curious turn of event, Zelenskyy puts out a very public video, claiming that he accepted his generals' decision to stay and fight for Bakhmut; instead of the tactical/organised withdrawal that is reportedly underway.
This could either be Zelenskyy throwing the generals under the bus; or perhaps the generals indeed is responding to the Wagner PMC's ammunition woes; to ride on the effectivenss of the counteroffensives thus far, to retake the surrounding regions of Bakhmut.
