  • The movement of what appears to be BTR4 across the Dnipro is interesting.

    BTR4 is generally considered to be one of Ukraine’s most capable platforms, but very thin in number. They were thin in number at the start of the 2022 invasion and suffered what seemed to be heavy losses despite their effectiveness. Who remembers those videos showing the thermal screens inside a vehicle absolutely massacring Russian infantry and pounding their armoured support? Those were from a BTR4 in Mariupol.

    Their deployment in this fashion is really good to see as it means that Ukrainian commanders either feel that they’re going to be successful in strengthening and widening their bridgehead or that they’ve been able to ramp up production and are able to afford the losses of the type by risking it in these types of high risk missions. Or both.




  • Yes. This is a inflammatory headline purely to try and push an agenda.

    There was literally a poll a couple of months ago that showed something like 80% of Ukrainians were in favour of not having elections.

    Not to even mention that Ukraine is under Marshall Law, and per their laws disallows elections. And don’t even get me started on the entire premise of running elections in a country where a quarter of the landmass is under enemy occupation and the logistics of getting votes from 100s of thousands of deployed troops and the serious security concerns of the election itself from Russian attacks.

    In my opinion Newsweek have just outed themselves here and the question is for who?
