Damn, somewhere between all the reports there will be some truth. Hopefully his imminent demise is close to the truth

Kadyrov went live on Instagram together with Delimkhanov, where he denied rumors about his illness. There is information that the story of being in the intensive care unit was invented by him and was specially launched to hide his true location. It is reported that the terrorist went on the Hajj to Mecca, but was very afraid of an assassination attempt, which is why he staged the performance. Moreover, he was so afraid that he included his close relatives in the performance.

Russian front-line hospitals are experiencing acute shortages of personnel and supplies. Only officers are reportedly evacuated to Russia, with ordinary soldiers being treated without anaesthesia or medications. Volunteers are providing most of the medical supplies. ⬇️

Yikes, this almost sounds like the American civil war, with the amputations and lack of anesthesia. Certainly the Russian troops know what is going on - morale is probably not high.

Well, that’s an eye opener.

The Russian Federation will not be preserved in its current form. The Kremlin "cannot control such a large territory, " Danilov said . "We have an analysis of how the regions reacted during Prigozhin's uprising. I can say that based on these analyses, we can say what Russia will look like after its disintegration... Tatarstan will be separate, Dagestan will be a separate country that has nothing to do with Russia. These are colonies of the Russian Federation," said the NSDC secretary.

Update, one can hope this is their reserves they are throwing in.

Briefly about the situation at the front from the Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Malyar East.
The enemy is coming from several directions - Avdiivskyi, Marinskyi, Lymanskyi. Everywhere is hot now.
The enemy also moved forward in the Svativ direction.
The situation is quite complicated.

On the Bakhmut direction: on the southern flank we are moving forward, we have partial success, on the northern flank- battles are going on. The enemy threw 2 airborne assault regiments there.
South. With heavy battles, but gradually we are advancing in the Berdyansk and Melitopol directions.

Another interesting point of view from Niki Proshin.
He shows how the Russian TV channels broadcast (to normal Russian people), some recent events.


Makes you wonder how accurate his opinion is and - if true - you can see why - if true - most Russians still seem to support Putin.


Humm, if the above 'ok' link doesn't work - had to remove the last characters to seemingly enable the link, just type in YT - "What Russian Media Tell Us About Ukraine..."

How on earth would anyone think that is a good idea?

EDIT: uploaded a screenshot from a video in which a Russian soldier uses a grenade as a hammer with expected results.

It looks like WarGonzo may still be alive

Zaporizhzia axis. Russian sources now report heavy battles near Robotyne. Yesterday, satelite images revealed (and confirmed) that fighting was on the very outskirts. WarGonzo reports that Ukrainian troops have advanced somewhat towards Luhivs'ke (east of Orikhiv)

Bakhmut area update.

​​​​​​​South of Bakhmut, stormtrooper Osman also confirmed further progress. It is rumoured that Ukrainian forces have almost cleared all forest strips and fields east of the Donbas canal towards Klishchiivka, and the city is within sight.

Over the past week, the Ukrainian military liberated 9 square kilometers in the east. The defense forces are moving in the Bakhmut direction, while Russia continues to advance in the Limansky, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky directions. In the south, the Ukrainian military continue their offensive in the Melitopol and Berdyansk directions. Over the past week, it was possible to release 28.4 sq. km. territories.

And thats why the guy in that trench footage was shot first, questions later. I cannot post the video of this sadly.

Intense footage published by platoon commander Datsyk. The 3rd Assault brigade storms Russian positions and takes prisoners. A captured Russian soldier wants to hide and detonate a grenade near Ukrainian soldiers who just captured him. But Ukrainians find out just in time..

Welcome to the forums, it was this, as they were rushing forward, a mortar round dropped between them all and the guy filming was wounded and dropped to the ground calling for help, I do not know what happened to the guy in front though who was closer to the blast.

This is war and shows how intense it is to be part of front line assault troops. Troops of the 3rd separate assault brigade came under Russian mortar fire, it reportedly ended with some Ukrainian soldiers getting wounded while also losing one.

Noel reports, it shows black smoke rising in the distance.

The settlement of Belaya Berozka in the Bryansk region in Russia came under shelling.
