Yeah, he is not very credible. The image was from a video of the ship coming in today so who knows. It's a weird deal, even if the drone boat malfunctioned, we should see something.


Well I find he can be credibly relied on to post Russian leaning information and stories generally despite his claims of not caring who wins.

Yes the mess around what actually happened is straining many accounts credibility and reflecting how much disinformation is colouring peoples reactions to claims of fact.

Unfortunate that you were suspended again, you at least bring counterpoints for discussion rather than just drive by rubbish.

I agree, but I imagine the suspensions have something to do with TexasForever/Flint openly admitting to creating alters and being defiant in saying he would continue to create alters.

That's pretty frowned upon here. Not necessarily creating alters but openly admitting to being an alter and saying you're going to keep creating them as fast as the new ones are banned.

Fair point in the case of alters being frowned upon, though the first account wasn't an alter?

I get it but I am not posing as someone else and trying to make a school look bad, etc. I think my TexasForever suspension was unfair (maybe a little too much trolling) and after about two weeks I realized nobody was ever going to "review my post history", so I just decided to make another. I think a grown man reporting someone who doesn't agree with their point of view is sad but whatever. I'll try to keep it tame

You’re alright in my book. There is a middle ground here to be a contrarian without being a troll or outright Putin fanboy .

Anyone is welcome in this thread if they want to discuss the war. After 15 months of constant trolling there isn’t much patience with trolls.

Key Takeaways

Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that Wagner forces continue to hand over positions in Bakhmut to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and withdraw from the city.

Ukrainian sources claim that Wagner forces are still present in Bakhmut and that the tempo of Russian offensive operations around the city continues to decrease.

Continued successful limited Ukrainian counterattacks on Bakhmut’s flanks may complicate the Russian relief in place operation in Bakhmut.

Russian forces conducted a large-scale missile and drone strike across Ukraine on May 25 and 26.

The Kremlin is likely reviving its information campaign to coerce the West into forcing Ukraine to accept concessions and negotiate on terms favorable to Russia.

The Wagner Group reportedly exchanged 106 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) for an unspecified number of Russian POWs on May 25, suggesting that Wagner may have conducted the exchange independently of the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD).

Russian forces continued limited offensive operations northeast of Kupyansk and along the Svatove-Kreminna line.

Russian forces continued limited offensive operations along the Avdiivka-Donetsk front.

Russian forces continued to target Ukrainian positions in southern Ukraine.

Russian officials are continuing to form new volunteer formations to defend Russian regions that border Ukraine.

Russian occupation officials continuing attempts to erase Ukrainian cultural heritage by looting Ukrainian artifacts.

See, he brought in here the crap about Zaluzhny being dead or wounded (with zero evidence). I explained to him why it was stupid, and then he doubled down on for three more posts.

That's just trolling. Coming in here and saying "Where's Zaluzhny?" is not about enhancing our understanding of the war.

And then he whined that others were posting misinformation. So, yeah, I'll keep reporting his alters.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 27 May 2023

Wagner Group forces have likely started to withdraw from some of their positions around the Donetsk city of Bakhmut.

On 25 May 2023, Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin said the withdrawal of his forces from Bakhmut had begun and that transfer of positions to the Russian Ministry of Defence (MOD) would continue to 01 June 2023. The Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister also corroborated the rotation out of Wagner forces in the outskirts of the town.

As of 24 May 2023, so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) forces have likely entered the city to start clearance operations. In recent weeks, elements of the 31st Brigade of Russia's Airborne Forces (VDV) have likely moved from the Svatove-Kreminna area to reinforce Bakhmut's flanks.

Ukrainian forces had taken 20 square kilometres on Bakhmut's flanks as of 16 May 2023. The rotation out of Wagner forces is likely to continue in controlled phases to prevent collapse in pockets around Bakhmut. Despite Prigozhin's ongoing feud with the Russian MOD, Wagner forces will likely be used for further offensive operations in the Donbas following reconstituting its forces.

What was pathetic was your "where's Zaluzhny?" trolling, especially when you doubled and tripled down on a pretension with zero evidence for it.

How about this? You quit trolling, and I'll quit reporting your alters.

Ukraine officially requests Taurus cruise missiles from Germany

Ukrainska Pravda — Saturday, 27 May 2023, 01:40

Ukraine has officially requested Germany to provide it with Taurus cruise missiles.

Source: Spiegel; Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung

Details: Spiegel reports that Germany has recently received a request for the Taurus from the Ukrainian side.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung writes that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke about the supply of German missiles to Ukraine in Berlin in early May.

For reference: The Taurus cruise missile is launched from a fighter jet and can deliver a 400 kg warhead over 500 kilometres. The missile is considered an effective weapon against protected targets such as command bunkers or storage points. The Taurus missile is the German equivalent of the UK Storm Shadow.

They certainly have clean and concise production levels compared to what we see from the Russian side (looking at you Kadyrov), though this could also be because Ukraine tailors them with Western viewers in mind.

Here is a version with subtitles.

Edit: A couple of commenters in the thread point out it isn't the best translation (was done with AI apparently) and offer better versions but the gist is the same by and large.
