  • Video showing the devastation in some villages in recaptured areas of Luhansk. No building is untouched. Once this war is over, Ukraine will likely have the hottest economy in the world as they rebuild. I hope the reparations flow out to individuals. Corruption will surely follow that much money, but I hope that the EU, NATO, and the UN impress upon the Ukrainian government how much of an opportunity this second Marshall Plan will be and how they'd better not fuck it up by squandering it to create new oligarchs.

          • Drone comes across neatly-arranged rows of dead Russian soldiers by the side of the road.

            • My Ukrainian student sent me a video one of his friends sent him of a combat zone. It's him walking around a somewhat urban area with dead Russian soldiers on the ground. It's not on any social media, so I won't post it anywhere. But, if you'd like to see it, message me on Facebook and I can forward it in that system.

              • At current claimed casualty rates, Ukraine will have killed 100,000 Russian troops before the end of the year

                • Live, on-the-ground destruction of a 9K35 Strela-10 SAM vehicle (NATO: SA-13 "Gopher") by a Russian loitering ammunition drone. No casualties shown/known.

                  This Russian Telegram channel is making fun of the Ukrainian troops taking photos with destroyed equipment because "TikTok content is the main thing."

                  • No visible casualties, but probably some given the nature of the barrage.

                    Alleged Russian/Wagner artillery attack on a Ukrainian position. This looks like a GRAD attack given the quick arrival of so many explosives. I don't think they'd have enough howitzers or mortars to deliver that much that quickly without using rockets. This is from a pro-pro-pro-Russian channel, so, grain of salt about who is on the receiving end. But, the potato video quality makes me think it's Russian.

                    • First video I've seen from the Russian end of a POW swap. These men look well-fed and healthy, unlike many of the Ukrainians handed back over, especially the Azov men.

                      • Russians allegedly using phosphorous shells in Bakhmut. With civilians present, that would be literally against the Geneva Convention:

                        Shit looks like diabolical fireworks, even in daytime. Some say it's not phosphorous, but magnesium, thermite, or napalm. Still awful

                          • This is a big damned deal. 350-mile range on cruise missiles puts Moscow in range. I say Ukraine should use every one of these to attack military targets deep into Russia. They won't use nukes because they know what happens if they do. 5422724566200991566_121.jpg

                              • There are a lot of cheeky comments about the Russians taking a children's train from a Kherson amusement park. Most of them involve "running trains" on soldiers so I won't share them here, but this link will show you what they're on about.
