I've seen similar shit in a local job-seeking group for foreigners. Someone posted a job opening for Ukrainians (language courses are even thrown in) and swarthy men of all ages started whining that "Ukrainians get everything", while they "have to pay taxes and get stuck in shit jobs".
While having jobs exclusively for Ukrainians is certainly legally a "big no-no" (unless the job requires someone to speak (native) Ukrainian or something), it's funny how it's only now with Ukrainians coming in that social media grifters are suddenly questioning immigration, including ironically immigrants themselves, it seems. It's not like the Ukrainians won't be paying the VAT of their host countries and likely doing low-paid jobs themselves.
Yeah. I'm doing a relatively low-paying job, I pay taxes - local and state and I'm squarely blue collar. I still have almost tripled my money compared to my last Ukrainian job.
Bitch how you go twelve years without getting yourself a small but respectable stable domicile? You live in Europe, a third to half or more of your living expenses have been taken care of by the fucking State for all of those twelve years
how does cost of living compare (rent food power water etc)
I have to be that guy, but this video is staged. There is no vibration on the camera when the artillery shells impact. If the sound effects were actual combat there would have at least been a wiggle from both the vibration and the camera man instinctively reacting to death landing in his general vicinity. The vehicles driving by are also just way too perfectly timed. The Medic is also acting like no combat medic I have ever seen in my career. Those guys don't show emotion. Its very business as usual underscoring the horror of their task. Actual combat medics have a grim sense of humor about them, not this "oh woe is me" attitude. This video is probably based on real stories, but this video is just that. A story.
Russia's level of corruption is sub-Saharan.

If this is right I am going to laugh my ass off too. I know I posited the theory that Russia pulled too much shit away from the Kherson line but a part of me still believed they would not be so foolish. If it turns out they are three sheets to the wind in KHERSON instead of Zaporzhia, Donetsk or Luhansk they are in deep shit. That is the one part of the front they absolutely cannot afford to give ground in.
Forgot to add my link into it but they’ve only identified 2 units there: a coastal defense brigade and the 205th SMB.
Are you saying the only thing between the UAF in Kherson and the Isthmus of Perekop is a national guard brigade and a motor rifle brigade that was put on reserve duty due to high casualties?
There’s also a few small Wagner squads and some random work battalions digging trenches. But yes, that seemingly is all in Kherson right now.
Ah, you're right now that you've jogged my memory. I had forgotten about the Pe-2 guy and had gotten him mixed up with the Tu-4 guy.
Natives, or "natives" like that dark-skinned Irishwoman?
I guess Russia is hoping the Dnieper Wall can keep the Ukrainians out. Yes, I barely managed to keep from laughing considering big the actual frontage at Kherson is. This is why I was thinking they could pull off a leg infantry landing to the North to get a beachhead, and if there's no/little resistance, start barging over Jeeps and the like. Can go full Toyota War on the Russian forces in Kherson or maneuver to support a push from Zaporizhia. Dangerous and near-suicidal either way if things go tits up, but that's what the Azov guys volunteered for.
Not really anything "new", its not like the Germans weren't using 2nd line formations in Normandy during D-Day. Static defense, especially when combined with obstacles doesn't generally need a ton of manpower or skill to hold
I was "promised" more expensive living. The only thing that's more expensive is rent. The rest is either equal or sometimes even less expensive, and I'm talking pre-war prices.
