Hunting boys. Ok. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Okay, so I forgot the comma after hunting. Fixed now.

Russian diplomat complains to Turkey about Ukraine military's aggressive behavior. Seriously, you could not make this stuff up.

And yesterday, Putin "justified" the attacks on infrastructure with the comparison of the attack on the Karch bridge.

The Wagner group appears to be a cross between an armed Latin American militia and the Nazi Einsatzgruppen.

@Renauda no surprise that the message has changed.

But this is a nice compilation.

@Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

Russia planning new offensive in new year:

I imagine they've learned a lot from their missteps last February.

OTOH, just how good are the mobiks? They've burned through a lot of materiel in 10 months (about 3K tanks, 200 aircraft). I imagine supplies are dwindling.
