    How could you forget about @Jeannette? She seems to rely on Kadyrov’s social media posts a lot. :lol:

    Looks like looted bodies. No evidence of where they came from.

    So the Russians have no discipline or morality and can't appropriately dispose of bodies.

    UK spy chief: Russian soldiers are refusing to carry out orders in Ukraine
    Catherine Garcia, Night editor
    Wed, March 30, 2022, 6:23 PM

    New intelligence out of Ukraine shows that some Russian troops are refusing to carry out orders, even going so far to sabotage their equipment, Jeremy Fleming, head of Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), said on Wednesday.

    The spy chief shared the information during a speech at the Australian National University in Canberra. He said Russian President Vladimir Putin "massively misjudged" the capabilities of his military, adding, "We believe Putin's advisers are afraid to tell him the truth."

    Ukraine has fought back harder than Putin expected, Fleming said, and "we've seen Russian soldiers — short of weapons and morale — refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft."

    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 30

    Mason Clark, George Barros, and Kateryna Stepanenko

    March 30, 5:30 pm ET

    Russia is withdrawing some elements of its forces around Kyiv into Belarus for likely redeployment to other axes of advance and did not conduct any offensive operations around the city in the past 24 hours, but Russian forces will likely continue to hold their forwardmost positions and shell Ukrainian forces and residential areas. Ukrainian forces repelled several Russian attacks in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in the past 24 hours and Russian forces likely continued to take territory in Mariupol. Russian forces held their positions and did not conduct offensive operations throughout the rest of the country. Russian forces will likely capture Mariupol in the coming days but likely suffered high casualties taking the city, and Russian force generation efforts and the redeployment of damaged units from the Kyiv axis are increasingly unlikely to enable Russian forces to make rapid gains in the Donbas region.

    Key Takeaways

    • Russian forces around Kyiv held their forward positions and continued to defend against limited Ukrainian counterattacks. Russian forces are unlikely to give up their secured territory around the city and are continuing to dig in.
    • ISW can confirm Russia is withdrawing some units around Kyiv for likely redeployment to other axes of advance, but cannot confirm any changes in Russian force posture around Chernihiv as of this time.
    • Russian forces did not conduct any offensive operations in northeastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours.
    • Elements of the 20th Combined Arms Army and 1st Guards Tank Army are redeploying to support Russian operations on Izyum, but are unlikely to take the city in the near future.
    • Ukrainian forces repelled continuing Russian assaults in Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts. Russian forces continued to take territory in Mariupol but are likely suffering high casualties.

    Thats the democrats problem, this belief that the President saying bad things about Putin is the solution. Trump launched 50 tomahawk missiles in 2017 at the airforce base where Russia was stationed in Syria, all without saying anything bad about Putin.

    So no one said that Kadyrov received this transport in Ukraine. It was brought to Kadyrov as a gift. To Chechnya.

    at 28 seconds he says: "Was I or not, but I have a car"

    Relief for Kyiv? Russia vows to scale back near the capital | AP News
    Russia announced Tuesday it will significantly scale back military operations near Ukraine’s capital and a northern city, as the outlines of a possible deal to end the grinding war came into view at the latest round of talks.

    Ukraine’s delegation at the conference, held in Istanbul, laid out a framework under which the country would declare itself neutral and its security would be guaranteed by an array of other nations.

    Moscow’s public reaction was positive, and the negotiations are expected to resume Wednesday, five weeks into what has devolved into a bloody war of attrition, with thousands dead and almost 4 million Ukrainians fleeing the country.

    Amid the talks, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin said Moscow has decided to “fundamentally ... cut back military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv” to “increase mutual trust and create conditions for further negotiations.”

    He did not immediately spell out what that would mean in practical terms.

    The announcement was met with skepticism from the U.S. and others.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia cannot be trusted. Although the signals from the talks are “positive,” they ”can’t silence explosions of Russian shells,” he said in a video address.

    To tell you the truth, Russia isn't giving any mercy to Ukraine as I can see. Russia is still pulling out more stops and reloading. They're moving forward. This is what Putin wants. He'll take away Ukraine's freedom, humanity, and democracy and anything else that speaks for itself. Putin is out to put in hi dictatorship in there and make it permanent. Vladimir Putin will combine Ukraine into Russia and will make any Ukrainians left do what they're told period.

    “This fighter saved women during the next shelling of residential areas by nationalists, pushing them into the entrance. We can say that he “closed” it with his body and died heroically.” English subtitles.

    For those who believe that there is no Nazism in Ukraine, pay attention to the poster 8-9 seconds "Our religion is nationalism! Our prophet Stepan Bandera"

    The Western press writes lies.
    https://t.me/istorijaoruzija/50199
    New York Post gave out the shelling of a residential building in Donetsk by Ukrainian troops for the actions of the Russian army.
    The bottom is broken once again...


    And then stupid people say that the Russians are shelling themselves.

    Analysts have been waiting for that. That suggests he's planning on escalating the conflict.

    Conscripts can only backfill. We'll see where he gets fresh maneuver units.

    The Armed Forces of Ukraine very "successfully" got into the frame of the Al Jazeera TV channel.
    Now there is clear evidence that the Armed Forces use medical vehicles to get around.
