    Bullseye hit on some entrenched Russians. No clear deaths shown, but definitely some casualties: https://t.me/idu_na_v/4812

      Not sure what went down here, but it looks like the Russian tried to shoot while surrendering. That may have led to an execution of all the prisoners as retribution. The details are unclear from the footage.

          The American press is eventually gonna pick up this story. Russian is crying, but that makes me think that they're crying wolf. It's amazing how almost anything their government says is demonstrably false or is a lie.

          Russia's defence ministry cited a video circulating on social media which shows the execution of 12 soldiers.

                        Firing missiles, dropping tiny bombs and spotting targets for artillery, the Ukrainian army’s drones undoubtedly are responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of Russian casualties as Russia’s wider war on Ukraine grinds into its tenth month.

                        Ukrainian drones also are capturing live Russians.

                        In the latest example of a flesh-and-blood soldier surrendering to a plastic-and-metal robot, a Russian soldier apparently somewhere in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region dropped his weapon and raised his hands when a quadcopter-style drone belonging to the Ukrainian army’s 54th Mechanized Brigade appeared overhead.

                        Hands in the air, the Russian soldier followed the drone toward Ukrainian lines. “Drones are the fiercest enemies of the occupiers,” the Ukrainian defense ministry crowed on social media. “But it turns out, not of all of them. This one took into captivity an occupier that realized that surrender is a chance to survive.”

                              Russia is trying to gain air superiority in Ukraine.

                              Colin Kahl, the Pentagon's top policy advisor, cautioned that Moscow also hoped to deplete Ukrainian air defenses that have so far prevented the Russian military from establishing dominance of the skies above Ukraine.

                              "They're really trying to overwhelm and exhaust Ukrainian air defense systems," Kahl told reporters during a trip to the Middle East.

                                Interesting article on Józef Piłsudski, a Polish military leader and statesman.

                                One hundred years ago, a revolutionary Polish patriot argued that Russia’s hunger for territory would continue to destabilize Europe unless Ukraine could gain independence from Moscow.
