The Ukraine war thread

Wagner Group open youth club in St. Petersburg to foster patriotism and prep for war:
In Soviet times it was referred to as Komsomol, or league of young communists. This time round I guess it could be called The Prigozhin Youth.
Quite the fiefdom within the kingdom the current Tsar’s favourite is building.

Crazy talk from Medvedev. Designed in hopes to make the west think twice?

Crazy talk but nothing substantially different from his usual jingoistic gibberish. He is restating Russia’s objective of obliterating the Ukrainian state. Medvedev has assumed the role of Goebbels in the histrionics arising out of this war.

This war has had medieval tactics from its outset. Arguably Russian tactics could be referred or compared to a chevauchée.
Seems that shovels are being employed in a melee:

I saw that earlier.

War Crime

"The Russian military posted a video of the shooting of a captured soldier who refuses to take off his chevron with the national flag and dies with the words "Glory to Ukraine". If anyone recognizes this person and can tell where and under what circumstances he could have been captured, write to me. please. We must find out all the circumstances of this yet another terrible war crime committed by the Russian Federation," said Butusov's telegram

As John Bolton stated in a recent interview “Putin thought Trump was a fool who could be easily manipulable if he could get him the right situations”. Putin certainly recognized that Trump admired the other strong man leaders like Erdogan, Xi and Kim. Moreover, he saw Trump as a force set out to weaken if not altogether dissolve NATO.
Trump sold out the Kurds to Erdogan so why, in his little narcissistic brain, should the Ukrainians be not be sold out to Putin?
