seems like i just can’t leave donbass alone, though i said i would drop it because it all looks like propaganda somehow

Here’s a general introduction, rather too padded for my taste, topped and tailed with studio female

Here’s a slightly gutsier Russian version

Now I said I would avoid propaganda, but then again, propaganda is interesting as what it is – not as ‘truth’ but as an audio visual weapon. Having said which, I still want to know, what is the point of all this? Russia will not intervene, not now, not ever. They know that. So why are they doing all this? They also know they can’t win. Do they perhaps seek a glorious martyrdom? Do they have the right to take x number of civilians to a fiery martyrdom? For what? For the glory of a Russia that is not interested? What is all this? Is it perhaps a plot to facilitate ethnic cleansing – not to prevent it but to provide a pretext for it? Well, we’ll never know. History does not indicate that afterwards people explain what they were really doing. Far from it: lies are etched into the impassive stone face of history and there they remain, as ‘official truths’, forever. So we’ll never know whether Strelkov, Bolotov and the rest are just provocateurs, facilitating the western plan to depopulate the region by providing pretexts. We’ll never know that of Hamas, either, or ISIS, even. No one will ever tell the truth about anything, ever. So here we go with the resistance and its glorious road to nowhere. fasten your seat-belts for a bumpy ride into a pointless but heroic self-declared hell – RB

Fyodor Berezin shoots the breeze: “We will expel the enemy from Mariupol, and from smaller cities especially,” says he.

According to the operative data, in the direction Donetsk recorded great move installations MLRS “Grad” about 50 units. According to reports from local residents on the highway Simferopol-Donetsk noticed the movement of the military junta: MLRS “Grad” – 4 units, Ural trucks cargo and ammunition for “Grad” – 5 units. Let’s talk about “Grad”. The name means “Hail”. How very amusing they all are. MLRS “GRAD” is a Soviet jet system, multiple rocket systems (MLRS) 122-mm is designed to destroy the open or in manpower, soft-skinned vehicles and APCs in concentration, artillery and mortar batteries, command posts and other targets, other tasks in various conditions of combat conditions. The area of damage, 145,000 m2. It doesn’t even need a trailer, it’s so compact that it’s all built right into the truck:

Slavyansk from the air (junta bombers shot this video, i dunno why)

Some guy got hit by a mortar shell in Lugansk as he was just driving along, there are sabotage teams in the city, with various nasty little weapons (further down, a flamethrower)

In Artemovsk early in the morning guerrillas fired on the positions of Nat Guards in the district pedagogical school – battalion “Donbass” is wounded, also shelled the city Council – base punishers. According to reports from the fields of battle: “From infantry rocket flame thrower “bumblebee” was fired by the city Council building Artyomovsk side of the parking lot. The explosion occurred outside the building on the second floor, in the area of Cabinet of the archive with the decisions of the Executive Committee and the sessions of the city Council. There was a fire. Injured punishers of the special battalion group of road “Donetsk”. This Bumblebee or Shmel-M is a nasty weapon that fires a rocket with enormous explosive force up to 1 km, and is light enough to shoulder carry. This is the demonstration video, with for some reason the theme from the zionist movie “Exodus” as intro music, which is kinda typical soviet weapons nerd stuff, but believe me, it’s small and very powerful:

Someone blew up a bridge over the Seversky Donets on the main road into Lugansk, while there was traffic on it. If nobody was killed or seriously injured, that’s sheer luck:

~
Ukro media reported that at 6:00 a.m., Lugansk airport was attacked by armored forces of Novorossia. So that’s still going on. Meanwhile, all kindsa shit in Kramatorsk, and civilians get the brunt (this one is 12 mins long, by the way)

Since the militias left Slavyansk, it has been occupied not by Ukrainian army, but by mercenaries from PMC. This was stated by military expert, candidate of political Sciences, former head of intelligence of the Zabaikalsky military, Maj-Gen Sergei Kanokov. In his opinion, the situation in virtually former Ukrainian region is really critical. The Russian Federation cannot be indefinitely remain a spectator, and she has a few options enforce peace mad Kiev, from which the trigger mechanism of their PMC expert believes the most effective. If you look at the pictures, the Ukrainian army, without flak jackets or with vests of last century, without helmets. But here show people, who went to the administration of Slavyansk, they are fully equipped, “fashion”, not from Yudashkin, the truth, and from Usaians. They unloading, flak jackets, helmets, tactical glasses, everything that accompanies private military companies.

The cost of this equipment not less than $4k unarmed individually on each. They use PMC send from Ukraine, so why can’t it be done from the side of Donetsk or Luhansk?” said Sergey Kanokov. He also reminded: “If in Donbass will not stop armed confrontation, it definitely will spread throughout our territory. You have to understand that this is the beginning of the collapse of Russia. Following is Belarus, and then Russia. If we don’t stop this massacre in Ukraine, no one will be able to hold it. The collapse of Russia is inevitable in such a scenario. This is the task, the goal put Usaians.”
