    Maybe that explains the high rate of amputations. I doubt they send amputees back. Reading more and more about troops going awol

    A spear and a club "work" as far as being able to kill someone, but I don't think anyone would prefer them to modern weapons. Russian barbarians have evolved a bit beyond the club and spear, but not enough to win this war as long as the U.S. is supplying 40-year-old weapons.

    Maybe she wears the helmet on her head when she goes into battle. Was that so hard to figure out? Are all of your propaganda suppliers mentally disabled?

    Read this. A long string but a very sobering account of 1 man’s experience as a captive of Russian soldiers.

    Russia Ukraine war live: Putin pushes more soldiers to frontline despite heavy losses

    Russia seems to be uncharacteristically reinforcing failure at Avdiivka, which may a sign of growing desperation to change the momentum of the conflict. But in sunnier news for Moscow, they did pull off glorious victory against postal distribution center in Kharkiv. Fair is fair. Ukrainian missiles take out Russian helicopters; Russian missiles take out Ukrainian mailmen. That will learn those Little Russians.

    atacms or mybe storm shadows eliminating fuel or munitions depots in Sevastopol.

    this should have been happening two months ago and all that armored equipment lost to russian helicopters would still be in service and all those men still alive today.

    The Crimean Wind said "explosions and [missile] launches [are observed] in Sevastopol, a facility caught fire in the vicinity of the Kozacha Bay".

    The Crimean Wind also shared footage that appears to confirm the reports.

    Several Kremlin-aligned Crimea-based Telegram channels said Sevastopol was hit by missiles.

    Vladimir Putin 'suffers cardiac arrest' sparking massive 'alarm' in Kremlin inner circle (msn.com)

    Vladimir Putin is alleged to have suffered a "cardiac arrest" in his private Moscow apartment on Sunday evening.

    A Telegram Channel believed to be run by a former Kremlin insider reported that incident saying the Russian leader was found by guards on the floor of the bedroom "lying on the floor, rolling his eyes."

    Doctors were reportedly called immediately and they later diagnosed the 71-year-old as having suffered a "cardiac arrest." Putin was then moved to a special medical facility built in the apartment where he underwent intensive care, the source claims.
    ....................................
    The Telegram channel General SVR, reportedly run by a former Russian lieutenant-general, declared in a post:"Security officers of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who were on duty at the residence, heard noise and sounds of falling coming from the president's bedroom.

    "Two security officers immediately followed into the president's bedroom and saw Putin lying on the floor next to the bed and an overturned table with food and drinks."

    Same here. I’ll believe it when inevitable internal power struggle for succession hits critical mass.

    Weren't you the guy who posted back in March or April of 2022 that Ukraine lost the war? It's still very possible that Ukraine will lose the war because Russia has far more conscripts that it can sacrifice as cannon fodder than Ukraine has soldiers but it hasn't lost yet.
