I really want to see a photo/video of the Ukrainian north/south junction

And look at the faces of the guests after he said that

ASMR ?

Russia is allegedly using Mi-26 helicopters to bring reinforcements to Izyum and Kupyansk

I find it way too simplistic to say that. Everyone on the forum agrees that everything is always much more complicated than it seems. That's like saying that quality is better than quantity . It depends on the relationship between the two and many other factors. "Quantity has a quality all its own" Of course, the best thing is to have a lot of precise weapons with lots of information

The problem is that there are fewer washing machines when you go around a city

Very interesting to see Ukrainian markings on VABs

It's like everyone who believes the Russian propaganda that the Russian economy is growing and doing even better than before the war. In this case, Russia would have sold all this gas "at a loss" to Europe during all this time, and importing Western goods, penalizing its economy ? Just to please us ?

It reminds me of the images (it looks almost the same) of the Russian retreat from the Kyiv and Sumi areas (minus the snow). It means that the Russians are suffering a lot

Yes, and there was also a notion of T-72M1 (from Poland, Bulgaria, CZ etc) which the 5th Tank Brigade also uses according to my notes.

I agree. I would not understand the Ukrainian interest in taking the Central with a special force lightning strike if there is no immediate possibility of sending regular troops there to hold the gains (Market Garden, Varsity etc in mind). Not to mention an action of sabotage which would not be in the Ukrainian interest because it would cut them off from the power supply.

"Death of the chairman of the board of directors of Loukoil Ravil Maganov, chairman of the board of Lukoil oil company, has died. “He fell out of the window of a Moscow hospital”, report the Interfax and TASS agencies, the latter referring to a “suicide”. In a first dispatch, the TASS agency mentioned a “fall from the sixth floor”. Lukoil, a private group, called in early March, a week after Russian forces entered Ukraine and as the West stepped up sanctions, to quickly halt the Russian offensive there."

"Moscow accuses Ukraine of sending a team of "saboteurs" near the Zaporizhia power plant While Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announces his intention to go and inspect the Zaporizh plant, Moscow accuses the Ukrainian army of having led a landing of "saboteurs" near the central. “Around 6 a.m. [5 a.m. in Paris], two groups of Ukrainian army saboteurs, up to sixty people, landed aboard seven boats (…) 3 kilometers northeast of the nuclear power plant of Zaporizhia", announced the Russian Ministry of Defense in a press release, adding that it had taken "measures to annihilate the enemy". On Telegram, the head of the military-civilian administration of Enerhodar (pro-Russian), quoted by the Russian official agency Interfax, published the images of a correspondent of the Russian newspaper Izvestia showing what is supposed to be the bombardment of Enerhodar by the Ukrainian army."

I also wondered about these questions. On the one hand, he may be useful for exposing Russian crimes, but on the other, admitting his faults does not make him less of a criminal. Perhaps he will be sheltered during the conflict and then be judged when the war is over for the crimes he may have caused (just like all those little comrades who consider themselves safe from everything judgement).
