CNN story claims Wagner recruiting 10th graders in Moscow now. This is turning in something like 1984. Moms aren’t going to be happy when little demetri comes home in body bag.

Yeah it seems like they just let several drones fly into their airspace and onto an airstrip like it was no big deal.

The plane in Belarus has supposedly flown back to Russia for repairs.
So, it was damaged, but it's obviously far from destroyed.

If true, the Serbian president is walking a fine line here. Vucic has somewhat of a history of playing both sides, but the King of that at one time was Lukashenko. I don't see the Serbian people supporting that. Traditionally, Serbia is very pro Russian dating back to pre WWI days. There are a lot of pro Russian radicals in that country and some of them claim to have even fought for Russia against Ukraine. A large portion of the populace still resents the bombings of 1999 and they hate Nato with a passion.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but all of you Ukraine sympathizers need to watch this. one of your fellow incels signed up to fight along side UKR and documented it with video. you will bitch about the source, but worth the 17 minutes as to not remain ignorant.
Interesting video though far from convincing. Body language, story and pretty much everything seems off, especially in comparison to some other frontline fighter interviews out there. This could be attributed to his world being turned upside down and now being in Russia as a spy but he also claimed he always planned to do this. Perhaps the reality of a spy is vastly different from how he thought it would be.
General rundown of interview. Bold emphasis for scepticism/salient points.
Most of his service was with foreign mercenaries, not regular AFU.
War crimes claim based on his seeing troops being placed near civilians that could then be shown to journalists if they became casualties, and because he heard about Russian soldiers being mutilated.
Served in 1st Armoured division in Texas for 2 years.
Claims there was a lot of drinking, weed, a member caught with bricks of cocaine, prostitutes, etc, all on base during his time there.
Claims Ukrainian government & people are controlled by Nazi's and they need to be fought and what they are doing to Russians in Ukraine needs to be talked about, but doesn't offer any specific examples.
Active US participation in the war is based on his claim there was a US naval intelligence officer in the foreign legion with a satellite phone and a computer provided by the CIA who would communicate daily for intel on Russian movements. When quizzed on his name he says he knows it but then his memory suddenly fails him beyond "Marcus".
Claims of widespread corruption based on him saying insurance money and final pay checks taken by commanders in his unit and that equipment was taken away and must have ended up on the black market. Also says it must be corruption because in Western Ukraine he saw a lot of military shops with nice equipment.
US is helping Ukraine commit genocide on Russian people for the land so that Ukraine and Western companies can exploit the resources to pay back the West for support sent during the war.
He had to finally leave because he was ousted as whistle blower on war crimes rather than a spy while trying to obtain information to infiltrate the Azov regiment and was under threat of death.
RT also mixes his generally benign footage with more graphic incidents already documented separately in the war to give it more weight.
While there are examples of everything he claims, "all is fair in love an war" as he quips at the end, and some people are shits and will take advantage of such situations for personal enrichment or to push an agenda regardless of ethnicity. His patchy story does not show that Ukraine is run by some evil corrupt Nazi regime. My personal assessment is that he is some idiot that got captured either physically and/or ideologically and turned into an propaganda asset.
Edit: Clarity

Secretary of Ukraine's Security Council says Russia's losses on the Bakhmut front are 7 times greater than Ukraine's
Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine (NSDC), said that Russian occupation forces are losing seven times more soldiers than Ukrainian forces on the Bakhmut front.
Source: Danilov on the 24/7 national joint newscast
Quote: "During the meeting of the Staff [the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - ed.] today [2 March - ed.], we looked at the Russian Federation’s losses, especially its losses in Bakhmut.
Yes, the situation there is difficult, but keep in mind that every day our men and women dispatch hundreds [of Russian soldiers] where they belong, given that they came here to kill us. Now we are killing them.
And the count is 1 to 7 in our favour."

Ukraine war latest: Ukrainian military admits withdrawal from Bakhmut on the table, but only if 'absolutely necessary'
by Asami TerajimaMarch 3, 2023 12:26 am
The Ukrainian military said on March 2 that its troops have the option to withdraw from Bakhmut, but such a decision will only be made if it is "absolutely necessary."
"As long as the command sees that it makes sense to keep a certain settlement, it will be fought for," Eastern Operational Command spokesman Serhiy Cherevaty said on television.
"If a tactical action needs to be made, it will be made," he added.
For now, Ukrainian forces are "heroically" holding on to the largely destroyed city even as Russia steps up its deadly onslaught, according to Cherevaty.
"The defenders of the Bakhmut front are heroically defending this segment of the front as they exhaust, bleed, and weaken the enemy," Cherevaty said.
Ukraine has previously said it intends to strengthen defense in the Bakhmut area.
Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar reported that the military had ordered additional troops to be sent to Bakhmut.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a D.C.-based think-tank analyzing the war in Ukraine, said, "Russian forces advanced within Bakhmut and continued ground attacks around Bakhmut."
The ISW said that despite the worsening situation in Bakhmut for the Ukrainians, the defense of Bakhmut is a strategically sound operation that will continue to force Russian troops to expend manpower and equipment on costly assaults."
Donetsk Oblast Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on March 2 that approximately 5,000 people, including 37 children, still live in Bakhmut. He reported that most remaining residents refuse to leave their homes.

There were reports yesterday (Posted in the thread) about Ukraine losing a battalion a week in Bakhmut, which would mean Russia is loosing 7 Battalions a week...7,000 troops. Thats a massive number.

That would equate to 1000 men a day and even the Ukrainian daily update for the entire front hasn’t had 1000/day in about a week. And we have seen the losses in the south.
I would imagine that Ukraine is killing more then they are losing but 7/1 sounds stretched.

A battalion a week sounds inflated
Posted on 3/2/23 at 5:25 pm to TBoy
Yes. I don’t think any of the numbers are right. Think other sites were saying 2.5:1 casualties.
I could see 1000 casualties a week being possible as that is wounded/KIA
With artillery the major culprit in this war shrapnel rates are high so if you add in the wounded. The numbers will rise
