Amateur work. Everyone knows if your boy band's front man is short, well, what the fuck are you doing having a short front man? Get a taller front man.

I am guessing they are doing it in hopes of selling the raw footage to MSM for money.
If they don't watermark then someone else will.
They could also just be hitting supply houses and infrastructure needed to support the spring offensive that has been telegraphed to shit.

Quick Update in the Bakhmut Front - April 3rd, 2023
Wagner PMC units have now captured half of Central Bakhmut
- Following withdrawal of troops of Armed Forces of Ukraine to the western parts of the district, Wagner PMC units from the North and South sides of the city have finally linked up in Central Bakhmut via the Komarovka microdistrict, an area bordering the Bakhmutovka River composed of commie-blocks, stores, and industrial buildings. As a result, they captured the entire riverbank of Central Bakhmut, making it safe for Wagnerites in East Bakhmut to cross safely across the river into Central Bakhmut. In addition, the frontline is now shortened, allowing Wagner PMC units to push through Central Bakhmut in the west harder.
- Wagner units have captured more areas of the AZOM industrial complex in the North Bakhmut, the most fortified area in the city, with most of the complex under Russian control. They have also advanced in Northwest Bakhmut (or Selyshche District) up to Rose Alley, capturing many blocks and buildings along the way. They have also advanced further in the South-Central Bakhmut (Avangard District) forcing the AFU to withdraw, as well as launching an assault in Southwest Bakhmut (Vodokanal District).
- With the capture of government buildings by Wagner PMC units such as City Hall, Prigozhin stated that Russia has legally captured the city.

Conclusions
- At this rate, Wagner Group PMC units may capture all of Central Bakhmut within a week, with West Bakhmut being the main battleground that will decide the fate of the city and thus the Invasion. This will probably be the area where Ukraine will begin its long-awaited counter-offensive around Bakhmut, in which it will assault the city and its flanks that surround it. If this counter-offensive fail, Ukraine will lose Bakhmut and thus, Zelensky stating that Ukraine has lost the war and will be forced to make compromises with Putin.
- If Suriyak and Weeb Union does another post, I'll do another update before peace-ing out of doing updates for the week.

Little off topic but is Navalny really a major player in Russian politics? He was shilled that way so I just assumed he is some literal who journos attacking corruption. The way glowies talk about him sold me on the idea he is a massive patsy and would be as bad as Yeltsin was, especially since they're shilling his family now to remind people he exists.

No offense but your username and profile picture alludes to a gay deathfat riding a nigger cock (or pooping, can't tell). If you can wear that as your identity, I'm pretty sure you can stomach this war.
Just sit back, relax, and wait for the inevitable Russian victory simply due to manpower attrition. (Unless NATO puts boots on the ground which they probably won't because that gives an opening for China to do the same.)

He has no moral values and would sell his own grandmother for a bit of cash and power. He's backed by GAYTO because he's Putin's opposition. If he got into power, he would do more damage than a nuke to Moscow.

It sounds like utter insanity. How many of these men are actually fresh soldiers? How many have already been battered and wounded who will be forced to now attack fortified Russian positions after weeks warning of this supposed offensive?

My Russian friends, mostly millennials, think well of him and hate Putin, but Russia's not exactly the best place to live even under the best of rulers. His political positions as of now are pretty vague, and what he's said in the past indicates he's an ethnonationalist who seems against the multiethnic federation aspect of the Russian Federation, so he's pretty far from the political mainstream.

I don't know, last I heard they were still sending supplies and men into Bakhmut. So I'm guessing it'll be a push towards that? Since pushing towards Crimea is a fucking suicide mission, but it wouldn't surprise me for them to try and do that.

So in other words, he'd be the perfect choice for those lunatics that want to break up the Russian Federation in to a bunch of tiny (and more easily controlled and exploited) states.

Kaliningrad is full of nukes and is farther west than Belarus. The performative squealing by the West is hilariousAs if the Amercians don't already have nukes in Europe.
Fact Sheet: U.S. Nuclear Weapons in Europe - Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation
Nuclear weapons owned by the United States have been deployed in Europe since the mid-1950s, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized their storage at allied North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bases on the continent for use against the Soviet Union. Though NATO officially declares...armscontrolcenter.org
And then Col. Robin Olds trolled the NVAF by having F-4s fly the same flight profile and they smoked a shitload of MiGs. (See "Operation Bolo"). Wouldn't surprise me in the UAF ran into some Flankers and got trounced.

Collapse of Putin's Russia has begun, Ukraine official predicts

If their grand strategy is to (buck) break the Ukrainians via attrition, they don't have to invade at all, just have Zelensky hand it over once he signs what they tell him to sign.
I can imagine an offensive. It honestly makes a fair bit of sense under the circumstances:
-Ukraine is wholly dependent on the West to stay in this fight, and the West's will is eroding as problems mount at home. They need to put some kind of win to reassure their sugar daddies that they still have it.
-Bahkmut is the gateway to several points in the chewy center. Losing it significantly lengthens Ukraine's defensive line and makes them vulnerable to the counterpunch if they try to go on the offensive after losing it. So they need to move sooner rather than later, because if Bahkmut falls or Russian aviation/ standoff weapons wear them down too much their window may have closed forever.
-A counter offensive could potentially save Bahkmut, whether it's by engaging and destroying the forces there directly, forcing them to rotate resources to other regions, or forcing them to fall back to avoid encirclement. It's reasonable to assume that if they were confident in their ability to hang on (whether strategically or politically) after abandoning the city, they would have. Recall that the Russians used the same tactic - lose slowly enough to allow your fallback line to be secured- at Lyman.
-The Russians are acting in anticipation of an offensive, it's just the non-telegenic stuff like digging ditches and pouring concrete.
As I see it, Ukraine's options are "try a hail Mary offensive and probably lose" and "stay on the defensive and definitely lose." If I'm reading the tea leaves right, they will have a window of opportunity soon, after the first tranche of MBTs arrives, to strike from a position of relative strength.

I read an article two days ago with the headline along the lines of "From Secret Bunker, Ukraine Sees Themselves Winning Bakhmut." Then the next day Wagner took the administrative building and control over central Bakhmut. I tried to find the article but I can no longer find it.Right. Sure. Uh-hu. You don't say.

Rumor is the Ukraine is planning to throw around 80,000 troops (including NATO-trained soldiers) with NATO weaponry at Artemovsk. Since it's snowing again I have no idea when or how, especially if the latest Wunderwaffen is still in transit. Also no idea where these 80k troops are coming from.

Update on the drone attacks in Odessa earlier: Shkolny airfield was hit as well as warehouses, equipment at the airfield, and workshops for the production of UAVs, which were being used to attack Crimea.

Possible Happening Alert (just observation, no news published about this):
Abruptly, in the last ~40 hours, the Russian government has sent a significant fleet of cargo aircraft in quick succession to Hangzhou, China. This includes (at a minimum, ATIS-B transponders got turned off by most of them at some point)
These are all big cargo aircraft, the Il-76s specifically being a military heavy machinery transport aircraft. None of these planes had visited China at any point in the last year; this is an explosion of activity. All planes began return flights to Russia within 12h.
What's the purpose for the Russian government to send all these heavy cargo planes to China, and return to Russia on the same day?
A couple screenshots from a few minutes ago; unfortunately don't have any from earlier over the past 2 days. Bonus, a Tu-204 used for transporting Russian govt. members currently heading into Belarus from Moscow.
