Russia could certainly show the death and destruction they are causing but that’s not going to help them win hearts and minds in Ukraine.

True.

I did see a Russian video of some captured Ukrainian soldiers and it was pretty surreal. A long arse line of guys in some open room like a gymnasium or something and it was dead silent except for the shuffling of feet. And the cameraman made quite the point to show every bit of food and drink they had laid out for these guys to eat.

So Russia is putting out propaganda of their own. Just not as much as the other side.

Damn, they STILL haven't taken Hostomel? That's crazy to me.

They obviously have been close enough to do some damage though, that's where the destroyed Antonov An-225 is located.

Its unbelievable that Russia has yet to take control of the skies.

I think there’s some algorithmic suppression going on.


It may be in large part because they took the Russian troops phones. The Ukrainians aren't going to post images counter to their survival and the amount of press on the ground is limited.

Russian paratroopers in elevator CCTV picture. I don't know why they look so surprised at the camera. Or maybe they're terrified, idk.

Christ. The video of the failed Russian attack last night in Hostomel is haunting. Can’t imagine how those dudes died..

Unless the Russians control the ENTIRE building I can't imagine using an elevator in a war zone. Every single floor the doors could open on makes for about as good of an ambush set up as one could concoct.

I was thinking the same thing. The building is claimed to be in Ukraine so I guess it could be being used as some sort of command post or something. But I think the bottom floor of any building would be better suited. Or maybe those guys were tired of sleeping outside and found a hotel to crash at for the evening. Who knows.

But I'm with you...I'd be taking the stairs.

Yeah that video was brutal. Dead bodies and appendages scattered all over the road.

Adding brightly colored stripes to camouflage in a war zone seems like a bad idea to me

I'm surprised they didn't go with their usual blue and white stripes.

Of course. Putin doesn't want Russians to see what's happening. Sending journalists and protestors to jail.

This is the man the Poli Board loves so much.
