In honor of this thread being on page '1337' - some very kino soviet style pro-Ukraine propaganda. Translated as best as I could.

OK, so I discovered that even this poster, which I liked and thought to be pretty metal, is not Ukrainian but actually from the Third Reich.

The Nazi larp never ends, eh?

Most footage I've seen of Chechens in action make it look like they've been mostly on mop-up duty, will they get to wage a proper jihad in this new offensive?

eh, given the massive height of most of them they are likely mostly from rich families, so you know... There to mop up and look pretty on camera, no war crimes, and no failures and no high casualties. Perhaps clear a few holdouts at most.
They've done that quite well so far unlike MENA Muslims.

This is, apparently, a Chinese Anti-US propaganda poster:

America is a Mecha-Xenomorph with F-14 Tomcat and Nimitz pauldrons and spines made of Stinger MANPADS that can shoot missiles from its mouth and that NATO heaps piles of cash upon? Wow, that's so much cooler than being a failing empire with a dementia-addled, babbling nursing home patient for a president, being deliberately run into the ground by Blackrock, Vanguard, and CIA scum. This poster makes me feel proud to be a Xenomorph-American!

It's only a matter of time before it gets turned into a cute anime girl.

any good livestreams? From the sounds of things everything is more active tonight than it has been for weeks but it's gone radio silent.

Probably not. I would imagine that with a surge of real fighting going on, most people will be either busy actually fighting, or staying the fuck away from the fighting. Any live streams from areas subject to anything more than a bombing raid, or showing anything of import would likely be shut down by the government to ensure they don't get used against them.

For some reason, the youtube channel for the Russian MOD is delisting its own war footage and propaganda videos by itself about the "special operation" lol.

You sure it's the Russian MoD doing it? I imagine at least some of their stuff violates the recently implemented youtube rules about 'minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events' or 'misinformation' or whatever excuse they come up with.

Well I can watch the videos in my YouTube history and those videos can be seen in some of my previous posts as well since I posted them here. It shows up as unlisted when I watch them.

Ah... I can't see anything newer than a month old and virtually nothing related to Ukraine.

Russia has started this offensive too soon. It's relying on formations made up of soldiers who just got their asses kicked around Kiev and have been thrown into ad hoc units to augment forces who have been bogged down in the east for nearly two months. Meanwhile mariople is still not entirely secure which is keeping forces tied down in the south.

Russia needed to give the soldiers who lost the Battles of Kiev and Cherniyev a good Month to recover from that ass kicking. If only to reinforce and train up the fucking new guys. They also needed mariople secure entirely so they could turn their attention to the front.

This is mind numbing. Russia is moving way too soon on this Donbass offensive. It's not going to work.

It seems to me that at least a partial rotation of troops has been carried out, it is not so difficult to replace 40,000 tired soldiers when you have about 600,000 in reserve

Here is an example of the return of troops:

The Voronezh Region meets a detachment of its Russian guardsmen who have returned from a business trip to the zone of a special military operation.
