Apparently, that canuk tik-tok sniper went back home.
Google translate link.
In the end, he himself said he only fired two bullets into windows “to scare people” and never really came within enemy firing range.

And so did his buddy.

Mariupol isn't just about Azovstal.
Spontaneous flea market during the times of crisis.
Author's comment states that off-site shops bring goods from Donetsk. Commerce is both in Russian and Ukrainian currency. No issues with fuel nor with food. Humanitarian aid comes around the clock.

Tank Cossacks near Popasna




Berlin police have launched an investigation into an upcoming terrorist attack against Russian journalists — a canister with wires was found at their house


The Russian Foreign Ministry demanded that the German authorities conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, and also called on the authorities of the EU and NATO countries to take measures to protect Russian journalists and their families who are on their territory.

I personally hope that the same 480 billion dollars Russia deposited in FED and other western banks will be used to finance reconstruction of Ukraine :)
No money will fix the demographic disaster tho.
Ukraine is really dead, just not in the way Vatbros think.

Officially since 2013.

@Su-27 Flanker-B I don't think there has been a day missiles didn't strike Ukrainian military objects. And even those days when missiles weren't flying had something to do with sham peace talks.

Russian side has made counterclaims about frigate "Admiral Makarov".
InterSlavaClaim.png

Russians claim that Makarov is now in Sevastopol.
MakarovInPort.jpg

(Where Makarov supposed to be on this picture, i don't know.)
Makarov did not sunk, but that just a claim. As good as Ukrainian one. Also, there is nothing about it being hit with something.

Secretary General of the United Russia Andrey Turchak had a meeting with the head of the military-civilian administration of Kherson region Vladimir Saldo and utter a phrase "Russia is here forever".
Vladimir Saldo(VS): They even ask us, tell us...
Andrey Turchak(AT): Russia is here forever...
VS: That is right.
AT: This should be conveyed to people and at the same time any calls for help and assistance should be answered. Our senior is here.
VS: We are meeting with him more already, yes.
AT: Any types of assistance, we are discussing opening here avant-garde center of United Russia as we did in Donetsk and Luhgansk regions, [in Mariupol we opening one , also,](not sure about this part.) so from you we require a list of what you need in the immediate future, what is the most necessary.
Proposed new(old) Kherson coat of arms.(From the times of Imperial Russia.)

And last but not the least, Cum/chug/er brigade of Russian Federation has found /ugh/ sister in his natural habitat, at home, and made him apologize for disrespecting the fallen. Corpse posters in shambles.

/Chug/er(C): Who said that, a? Is it you speaking?
/Ugh/er(U): Probably me.
C: Probably?
U:Me, me! I was just throwing everything away.
C:"Fucking bastard", those are your words, right?
U: It isn't my voice.
C: It's your voice.
U: If that's what I said, than yes. That's what I said.
C: You?
U: Yes.
C: You?
U: Yes.
U: I was just a little bit drunk. Around AIV was three bodies. Everything i have took i was throwing away.
C: How did you handled corpses?
U: Well, maybe because of my drunkenness, i disrespected theme... How do i say it right... because of euphoria(:neckbeard:), maybe... that was stupid, yes, i repent, repent very strongly. I should not have done this...I was drunk, maybe did not thought straight... Did not do the right thing, not how it supposed to be...
C: And what do you think would be the right thing to do to you?
U: Well, i would beat myself senseless... I heard explosions: it was ether AIV or something on tracks. Everybody ran, i ran with them.I was taking off bulletproof vest, everything was put aside. Even in the video you can see that i was putting everything aside, wasn't putting anything in my pockets.
Another /chug/er(C2): So you participated in this process?
Another /ugh/er(U2): Well, i was there, everybody ran there. I don't remember everybody, there was a lot of people.
C2: What did you took from there?
U2: I did not take anything.
C2: Where have you been?
U2: Well i was close to here.
C2: Around battle vehicle?
U2: Yes.
C2: Alright, you will have time to look at it again, take him[with us].
U2: Can I get dressed at least? It's cold out here.
C: Let him dress up.

Apparently the Red Babushka had her house destroyed by the russian army.
She also claims (or lies) to only have brought the Soviet flag to appease what she thought were occupiers.
Her house isn't destroyed in this video? The ruined building in the last clip doesn't look like it's her house, maybe I'm wrong.
In any case I don't see this video impacting anything regarding her iconography.

Some happenings in Azovstal from this guy, Minister of Defense of DPR on the ground:
Ex-Minister of Defense of DPR, now he is supposedly back to being with his old battalion "Vostok".

Since the very morning, the regime of silence has been going on again, again the military chiefs responsible for the evacuation process are running around our positions and demanding to pull back in order to fulfill the OSCE conditions, and the enemy, taking advantage of our breadth of soul, or stupidity - whichever you like - calmly mines holes punched by artillery in the concrete fence of the plant and sets land mines... Today we are forced to silently fixate it on drone's camera - tomorrow the infantry will get blown up on them.

In my opinion, the ban on movement should apply to everyone, and if the enemy violates it, they should be dealt with accordingly.

An enemy group with a white flag came out on the road leading from the bridge, where evacuated civilians were received, deep into Azovstal - the Russian military moved forward to meet them as parliamentarians. The first personal contact for the entire time of the blockade of Mariupol.

Reminder that yesterday Azovites were demanding food in exchange for civilians (read-hostages).
Azov made a demand: we exchange civilians for food. For the sake of peace, we went with this and declared a silence mode, but we did not stop working - we decided to scan the "green"(area with trees) in the square cleared yesterday to avoid surprises. By the way, here is an example of the organization of a mobile observation point - we work from anywhere. It is a pity that what has long appeared in the arms of the "militia", the "regulars"(regular Russian army) did not have at the time of the start of the operation.

Post more cat pictures. Maybe that will convince us that this isn't a humiliating shit-show on your part this time.

NATO is combing the Black Sea with ELINT aircraft and probably satellite surveillance, and feeding that info directly to the Ukies. Idk what countermeasures the Russians can realistically take tho, there's a good chance they might lose more ships even if they're being as careful as they ought to be.
 
Assuming Vlad daddy will announce that yeah okay it's a war on May 9th so the general mobilization can be ordered; throwing several hundred thousand more soldiers in as close to at once as it can is about all Russia has left as it's been almost 3 weeks of eastern offensive with no gains using the forces committed plus now they're getting pushed back from Kharkov both to the north and east of the city.
This mobilization will be a massive shitshow.
  1. Russia struggles to supply its forces right now. Imagine if they're doubled. Our military logistics are straight from the 40s, and truck supply is also a finite thing. Plus, nobody really wants to drive trucks (being unarmed and unarmored sitting duck isn't fun), so sabotage is expected.
  2. There's not enough officers to train and lead newly created units. To get a glimpse, read some comments from people who volunteered and were sent to training: "Nobody was watching over us. I could leave with my and squadmates' AKs any time, nobody would even notice" or "we had to share and watch UA training videos bc most of our officers didn't gave a single fuck about preparing us for war".
  3. First group of reserve is recently discharged conscripts. They're obviously the youngest eligible generation. And the willingness to go to war is also lowest among the youngest (18-26), even in remote regions (where it's traditionally higher, bc poverty and dysgenics). Among all ages, it's less than 50% in every region except Primorsky Federal District. What a great idea - give those people guns and send them to fight an imperialist war, it had never backfired before.
  4. There's not enough equipment. Once again, I refer to people like this (t.me/politolog_zapasa) who volunteered to join the Army. His squad was given SSh-60 (Soviet-era steel helmet, and not even its later modification SSh-68) helmet and old body armor (dated 2000-2005) with some "used" plates. And that's the most basic thing, imagine trying to equip tens of thousands of mobilized with NVGs or radios (can Baofeng imports cover the demand?).
If anything, the mobilization can fuck things up even more.

Based, they must've read my posts.

It is the same house.I checked the pattern on the wall of house 0:28 from older videos. Some argue that babushka and the old man are different people. I'm not sure about that.

Russian Black Sea Fleet is basically fucked no matter what. Either they operate in support of other units the way they were meant to, and Western intel tees them up for the Ukies. Alternatively they sit a safe distance off the coast, become essentially useless except as a launch platform for small numbers of Kalibrs, and their other forces get fucked in their abscence (as happened with those patrol boats and the stuff on Snake Island)
