If you squint your eyes... just the right amount you can see Putin's brown eye.

Speaking of Putin being an asshole...

RUSSIAN SOURCED


1. " Retribution for Belgorod : after the new year, the Russian Federation dealt a massive blow to Ukraine!

Due to the incompetent work of the Ukrainian air defense, they fell on residential buildings.

How senseless the Ukrainian Armed Forces are placing military facilities next to civilian infrastructure!"


2. "Footage of the work of FPV crews of the Russian Armed Forces on the equipment and positions of the Ukronazis with high-precision kamikaze drones “VT-40”.
At the end, the BTS-4 tractor, based on the T-44 tank, was hit"


3-5. "Several enemy missiles have been shot down in the sky over Sevastopol, attacks are being repelled, - Governor of Sevastopol
- Several missiles were shot down near the Balaklava thermal power plant."

RUSSIAN SOURCED

1. "New footage of the destruction of Ukronazis by FPV drones “VT-40”."


2. "Footage of missile strikes on MLRS shelters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkov region . 2 units destroyed. MLRS "Alder" and 2 units. Czech MLRS "Vampire""


3. This reeks fake for most of the reasons I've stated on previous fake productions. No insignia, clear acting, no response on the bodies from bullets, the way there is no dialog between the camera man and the shooter and he just slides in on the left showing only a gun and hands firing on whoever this really is.

I really try not to be so skeptical but shit like this makes it impossible. I'm finding it harder and harder to have the fucking patience to comb through Russian channels because of shit like this.
"A video taken from the phone of a killed Ukronazi, which shows the execution of his own fighters after surrendering positions."

Was Putin's Top General Gerasimov Killed in Crimea Attack? What We Know
Jan 05, 2024 at 6:25 AM EST

Attachment 1229696

Rumors are circulating that Russia's top general, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, was killed in an attack on annexed Crimea by Ukrainian forces on Thursday.

Social media users began questioning the whereabouts of the Russian general after Ukraine said it had struck a Russian military command post near Sevastopol and a military unit near the city of Yevpatoria, in separate strikes on the Black Sea peninsula, which was annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014.

Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk thanked the pilots and "everyone who planned the operation for perfect combat work" in a message on Telegram.

Russia said its air defenses shot down 10 guided missiles over Crimea, and that it had prevented an attempt by Ukraine's forces to carry out a "terrorist attack." Russia's defense ministry said it also intercepted 36 Ukrainian drones over the peninsula.

Attachment 1229697

The unverified rumor of Gerasimov's death appears to have begun circulating after X (formerly Twitter) user WarVehicleTracker, which tracks vehicles and losses in Ukraine, shared an image purporting to show a message published by a Russian Telegram channel called "Ordinary Tsarism," which has more than 34,000 subscribers.

Gerasimov died?" wrote WarVehicleTracker.

The message in the image read: "According to preliminary data, Valrey Gerasimov, who was in a command post near Sevastopol at the time of the attack, was killed in the attack on Crimea."

WarVehicleTracker's post has been viewed more than 60,000 times at the time of writing, and prompted hundreds of social media users to question whether Gerasimov had been killed in Crimea.

A Newsweek search found that the message purportedly published by the "Ordinary Tsarism" channel didn't exist at the time of writing. It isn't clear if the message was deleted, or if it was fabricated by social media users. Newsweek has emailed the author behind the channel for further clarification.

The X user WarVehicleTracker told Newsweek they first saw the image and message on social platform Discord.

Questions asked by X users as rumors swirled include: "Is Gerasimov dead?"; "What happened to Gerasimov?"; "Did they off Gerasimov?"; "Gerasimov died?"; "Did Ukraine really kill Gerasimov?"; and "Gerasimov, where are you?".

Attachment 1229704

"Until Russia proves that Gerasimov is alive, we should just assume he is dead," one X user wrote.

Another added: "Not holding my breath but if Gerasimov got iced in the Crimea swarm, that would be... eventful."

Gerasimov's Wikipedia page was also temporarily edited to state that he had died on January 4, the day of the Crimea attack.

There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Gerasimov has been killed, nor is there evidence that Gerasimov was in Crimea at the time of the attack. The Kremlin hasn't commented on the rumors, and Newsweek has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry via email for comment.

The New York Times reported in December 2022 that Ukrainian authorities attempted to assassinate Gerasimov as he visited the front lines in Ukraine.

Insightful report from Russia about the devastating Ukrainian Storm Shadow strikes on occupied Crimea that occurred on January 4-5, including the likely reason the rumor of Gerasimov's death began: A Russian General was killed.

On 04 JAN 2024, a large-scale attack on the territory of Crimea was carried out.

At lunchtime, due to the activity of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) tactical aviation, the signal "Aviation Alert" was announced on the territory of Crimea.

At 17:00, information about the approach of ten cruise missiles to the airspace of the peninsula began to arrive.

At 17:12, a strike was made against an object in the territory of the settlement of Uyutne, near Yevpatoria.

The target was a radar unit of the 31st Air Defense Division of the Russian Air Force. As a result of the strike, the radar station and the communications center were destroyed.

There are serious problems with the ability to conduct radar reconnaissance in the region. Three wounded conscript soldiers are reported.

The strike was carried out by 1 Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missile.

At 17:18, a strike was conducted on a facility in the city of Sevastopol. The target was a protected command post of the 31st Air Defense Division of the Russian Air Force (military unit 03121, Sevastopol).

As a result of the strike, 12 servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces were killed and 9 others were wounded. In total, more than 80 servicemen of the division were under the rubble.

Among the lists of the dead there is one serviceman with the rank of General, however, his name is not specified (this is to the rumors about the death of Gerasimov, although I believe that this is just a rumor).

Also, the death of the commander of the 3rd Radio-Technical Regiment of the Russian Air Force has been confirmed. As a consequence of the strike, the Division's communications center was destroyed.

The strike was carried out by 2 air-launched cruise missiles "Storm Shadow."

It is noted that during the attack, first the AFU used decoy missiles. The type is currently being established, there is reason to believe that they were "ADM-160A." This was followed by a strike of Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

Further (expectedly) at around 23:30 there was a UAV (drone) attack on the territory of Pervomaiskiy and Sakskiy districts.

About 35 attack drones are reported to have been used. I do not have information about the damage caused by UAVs at the moment.

However, it is worth noting the successful work of the air defense. For the most part, the UAVs were suppressed by REB (electronic warfare, signal jamming) means. No serious "hits" were observed.

On the night from 05 to 06 JAN 2024 was a strike at the airfield "Saki." It is reported that the command post of the 43rd Separate Naval Assault Aviation Regiment (military unit 59882) was hit.

As a consequence of the strike four servicemen of the regiment - 200 (code for Killed In Action). There is no information about the wounded.

The strike was carried out by 4 Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles. Two of them were intercepted by air defense forces. Two reached their target.
