1/ A well-known pro-Russian channel called "Поздняков 3.0" with over 240,000 subscribers recently uploaded a video that allegedly shows members of the "Wagner" group torturing a man who is tied up.
2/ According to the channel, the man is a "Georgian mercenary." The video shows an unidentified man with his arms and legs tied, with the word "Georgian" written on his forehead.
3/ The man appears to be semi-conscious and is being held by another masked individual while a third person plays the violin next to him. The act of playing the violin is a reference to the Wagner group, who are often referred to as "musicians."
4/ The author of the also included a message directed towards the man's relatives in Tbilisi. The message states that since the man is identified as a mercenary from Georgia, he is not considered a combatant and therefore his relatives should not expect him to return home.
5/ It is worth noting that many of the emojis posted in response to the video appear to approve such a behavior. It also should be noted that the authenticity of the video has not yet been confirmed and efforts are being made to identify the man in the video.

1/ Yesterday, a public announcement was made regarding the formation of a group called the "Club of Angry Patriots." To gain insight into the gravity of this group, I recommend briefly examining their backgrounds and reviewing the summary of their "manifesto."
2/ This group consists of several terrorists, extremists, and political activists. Among its members are Pavel Gubarev, Vladimir Grubnik, Igor Strelkov, Viktor Alksnis, Maxim Kalashnikov, Maxim Klimov, Mikhail Aksel, and Evgeny Mikhailov.
3/ Pavel Gubarev is known as the "People's Governor" of the Donetsk Region in 2014. Western audience may recognize him for his statement: "But if you don’t want to be convinced, we’ll k*** you. We’ll ki** as many as we have to: one million, five million, or exter**** all of you."
1/ It is my belief that NATO and the US have not fully committed to stop russia in Ukraine. However, there are areas within our own military that require attention. As discussed in Part I, I will reference an article by Glen Grant to discuss these issues
2/ Glen suggests that a priority policy should be implemented to replace all military personnel who are not performing frontline tasks with civilians who have comparable or better related skills. Additionally, the use of TrO volunteers should be considered.
3/ In some cases, commanders have been selected through nepotism or connections rather than their performance and results. This is a concerning issue that needs to be addressed immediately to ensure that the most qualified individuals are appointed to leadership positions.
1/ Various russian Telegram channels share a video that allegedly shows Ukrainians stopping a car with a woman and a child (the child is not seen), engaging in a verbal alteration, and then shooting at the car. This looks like a staged video, for the following reasons:
2/ The location where the video was filmed has reportedly been identified by the Telegram channel "Moscow Calling" as 47.9769473, 37.9534718. Source: t.me/m0sc0wcalling/…
3/ The identified location, 47.9769473, 37.9534718, is situated deep within the occupied territory of Donetsk, as can be seen on the DeepState map.
1/ The use of tear gas in warfare is a growing trend, with different tactical adaptations being employed. One such adaptation involves the use of tear gas dropped from drones near dugouts. This tactic is aimed at flushing out defenders and gaining a tactical advantage.
2/ The use of tear gas in this way is often followed by a second drone dropping fragmentation grenades, which can result in casualties among those who have left their dugouts.
3/ Tear gas can also be used during enemy assaults. After forcing our troops to leave their dugouts with gas, the enemy may use mortar strikes followed by an infantry assault on weakened or abandoned positions.
Few updates and summarized thoughts on the frontline.
🧵Thread
1/ The russian military continues to deploy fresh personnel and equipment across the frontlines, primarily for the purpose of replacing losses. However, it seems that their combat value continuous to decrease
2/ The formation of assault groups by Russian forces suggests a persistent demand for further assaults. However, it is observed that many of these groups lack experienced or motivated personnel to effectively operate on the battlefield.
3/ This indicates a persistent disparity in situational understanding between the military on the ground and the political leadership.
1/ A few days ago, our fighters have noticed an unidentifiable yellow device equipped with an antenna and a flashing red beacon, which was released from an unmanned aerial vehicle at a distance of 10 meters from its intended target.
2/ I didn't have a chance to take a look at it personally but according to the information provided by the fighters on the ground, the dropped beacon is believed to be an ACR RLB-37 (or 35) "GlobalFix" emergency radio beacon.
3/ This emergency radio beacon is designed for marine use, operating within the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system. While this device is intended to facilitate swift and efficient rescue operations, it is used by russians for precise targeting of our troops.
