I've been thinking from the very beginning that he looks like DSP. When I see side-by-side pictures, he doesn't that much, but damn there's some resemblance there.

Went on the Tpyxa twitter account, and found a clip by "Rosich_Rus". Damn; looks like Rosich was never dead, lol, that's a relief. Or perhaps this account is being run by someone else...
For reference, here is Rosich's original account.

"I look at something like this, and what I have left of belief in human capacity for critical thinking slowly dies. This is the before and after of a Georgian mercenary, who came to fight against Russia in Ukraine. What was the point? Not his fight. Ruined his own life."

>not his fight
georgia has been under partial russian occupation for like 15 years now, more than enough reason for georgians to take up arms against russia at every opportunity

Lukashenko said that neighboring Western countries do not allow citizens to use visa-free entry to Belarus, so they do not see that Belarusians are living normally.

It has been fascinating to see how they function in a truly contested environment, we've mainly only seen them operate against people with no or limited air defenses. I have to say, drones are far more survivable than I expected.

Fresh cope just dropped. Since it's looking increasingly unlikely that Russia will declare victory/give up/run out of ammo and supplies on May 9th as has been previously claimed, the pro-Ukrainoids need a new prediction. This time it's that the Russian army will collapse and that Putin will be coup'd by the end of May
. Saying that they've failed in the east because they haven't done some undefined "bold maneuver" is just laughably retarded. So is the claim that Ukraine is going to counter attack.It's not really talked about much but it's been my opinion for a while now that the AFU is almost completely immobilized. Russia has been prioritizing strikes on fuel and oil facilities for weeks now, and while we don't know exact numbers we know they've struck other military facilities housing vehicles or vehicle repair facilities. We aren't seeing any evidence of big troop movements to reinforce the east, or to set up a counter attack in the south, or any movement beyond very localized counter attacks with seemingly few troops.
I don't think they have the vehicles and/or fuel to move the number of troops needed to perform an effective counter, and I think the AFU troops in the east are more or less stuck in their defensive positions until they're inevitably raped to death by arty shells.

There's no Miranda warning in Russia so whatever he, or any other merc/foreign volunteer says can be used against him in a military or criminal court.

That and anything the Russian government says that he said, regardless of whether or not he said it. These trials won't be remotely like any western criminal trial.

Reports coming out from various sources that AFU resistance in the Kherson Oblast area and in the direction of Krivoy Rog has been shattered and is in full retreat- setting the stage for the harassment of Mykolaiv and eventual siege. Very little change in the fighting for the Donbas. The main Russian target seems to be Lyman whose outskirts they arrived at yesterday night IIRC. in Rubizhne, the AFU has retreated to the southern industrial district, the rest of the city is under control of the LPR and the Chechens. 40 to 50% of Mari'inka is in control of the DPR. No/little changes everywhere else.
The reports of fuel shortages in Kyiv, Odessa and other cities paint grim pictures for the AFU's future mobility - tanks, APCs and IFVs drink diesel like nobody's business, and with no railways actually working due to targeted strikes, tanks may soon have to get to places through their own power, which would not only ensure that they arrive ready to get parts replaced, Wehrmacht style, but would also quickly deplete fuel reserves. It also makes armor a lot more susceptible to ambushes and other strikes.
I predict we'll see a lot more fuel shipments coming in from Romania and Poland, soon. Wars can't be conducted without copious amounts of fuel and Ukraine has probably lost most of its depots and refineries by this point.
This war has gotten a lot harder to follow since the Russian MoD stopped saying how many kms they advanced each 12 hours and which villages they took.

lol, I mean, the reasoning of the georgian is probably that, but reality is that Abkhazia and South Ossetia want nothing to do with Georgia and fought several wars to btfo them
ask the people living there who the evil occupier and who the liberator is, and you'll get "Georgia" for the former, and "Russia" for the latter
all the muh russian occupation narrative is predicated on the fact that only globohomo inc should be allowed to decide whether parts of a country can secede or not eg Kosovo, everything else is evil imperialism, even in situations where ethnicities like abkhazians and ossetians want to seceede from a country trying to suppress their identities
georgians even have a we wuz fantasy narrative regarding akhbazians, where they're ackhsually georgians who were fooled by the soviets putting abkhazian on the passport of some other turkic ethnicity and making a new, fake, non-georgian abkhaz ethnicity, ergo Abkhazia rightfully belongs to Georgia, nevermind the fact they always spoke a completely different, unrelated language
it's laughable

They have a codified legal system, civil law but also common law. I don't know much about it and that's why I would say a little as possible and volunteer nothing. Mercs are not covered by laws governing soldier POWs under the Geneva convention and I recall several warnings about that.
