Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

You're probably right and it makes me laugh that they are literally using the redditors as nothing more than meat shields. Not that they deserve better

Is a Redditor a Meat Shield or a @Meat Target ?

Joking aside, I decided to go to BBC News’s homepage for shits and giggles. There is something about a hospital in Mauripol that the Russians captured and that there are 400 people held hostage? Curious if Ukraine/Azov folks wouldn’t let them leave? Lots of heartstring-pulling war-mongering articles as well. After this war ends, I’m really curious about actual causalities and day-by-day movements (right now, I don’t trust anything).

Has the war slowed down because Putin is prepping another offensive or just playing the waiting game?

Also Zelensky is giving his speech tomorrow to Congress.

So I think we can now take it as confirmed that the Russian cruise missile strike did in fact kill foreign volunteers. So the Ukies were lying, again. No suprise.

The realisation that it isn't the good ole days when you could engage Jihadis after a nice stroll in the country and call in airstrikes as soon as things got a bit hairy. Now you are the Jihadi. Sad but also funny.

"People need to stop coming here, it's a trap, and they're not letting us leave"
Gee, when did you figure that out? Days and days ago when they were pulling fighting age men out of buses? Or when Azov was stopping civilians from leaving?
Oh, no, it's after you fell for the meme of kiev and went to go and add your body to the pile to sate Zelensky's bloodlust.

These people make me very mati

Hell's not sending their best.

I mean, the leader of DPR before the schinanigans with people's republics was involved in a pyramid scheme called MMM-Global, so no matter how much of a scumbag and/or retard you are, the world is insane and you can always end up on top.

Or how America elected a reality TV star to be president that one time. I miss Orange Man.

Seems like there may be something going on in Odessa in the next hours, there are rumours of a possible Russian amphibious incursion.

I feel like from her content she puts on twitter she can be considered a cow since she is insane and is racist towards Russians

Hurr durr I'm a retarded cunt I think using the wrong pronoun or suffix or whatever somehow means nukes won't work.

See, that's what happens when the devil shows up.

A lot of people both in Russia and Ukraine would be very upset if something happened to Odessa. It's a very beloved city in both countries.

In the video he looks super depressed, I'm guessing the news from the front isn't great then. Just yesterday the Ukies were full of bluster that they wouldn't concede an inch to the bear, that Putin had to GTFO and then maybe they would offer terms. Oh and also Russian soldiers should surrender as they were surrounded. Amazing what a new day can bring.

Things are so bad that Zelenskyy turned into Nick Rekieta.

Just reminding everyone that the writer Victor Pelevin described these events perfectly in his 2011 novel, S.N.U.F.F.

Odessa is beloved by any man of culture and sophistication for all of the Slavic thots that migrate there every summer.

You shouldn't call Zelensky a chimp, that's anti-semitic.

At least he can smell Russians coming from a mile away and poison in his drinks. Maybe landmines. With that nose.

Oh my god, Putin! Can you just go back to your coutry now! Your soldiers are getting owned by redditors. HOW EMBARASSING!

Don't think this was already posted: Another video of the Donetsk cluster bomb aftermath:
Edit - graphic and disturbing !

Spoiler: NSFW

Extremely graphic and disturbing Donetsk cluster bomb aftermath.mp4

You know, I've looked at every page of both threads and this is one of only a couple videos that actually made me a bit uncomfortable. At that crying old man's age you know he's lost close friends and loved ones several times, and you know he's been through some really rough shit in his life. To make him cry like that, those people under him must have been his wife or children, maybe both. That's pretty fucking tragic.
