What really promotes misinformation is your continued insistence in referring to the decades-long Russian-funded and manned insurgency in eastern Ukraine as a “civil war”.

The Ukraine government hasn’t been fighting against Ukrainians who want to be Russian, in the Donbas. They’ve been fighting against Russians, from Russia, who were armed and sent there by Russia, who want to claim Ukrainian territory for Russia.

That’s not a “civil war”. That’s a foreign-powered insurgency.

Jubodrag and team seem to think those things mean something. Those kinds of travel restrictions seem to be pretty standard during wartime. They don't seem to have basic knowledge about what countries do during war besides fight.

I guess when nothing else is going well you gotta exaggerate and celebrate something

It's wartime. Travel bans are not unheard of. Neither are people resigning or being dismissed. I don't even want to try to list all the reasons this could be happening because I do not have first hand information. But in a word, evolution. Like Putin changing RAF commanders of the armed forces twice so far.

You could also be correct. There could be some kind of shake up happening. Perhaps there are some that aren't in agreement with Zelenskyy's handling of the war or any other number of things. Hard to say without doing a deep dive on it. Will have to keep an eye on this.

There is a shakeup indeed. These bans/firings/resignings are related to fighting corruption. A lot of officials have been caught embezzling funds meant for war or humanitarian aid.
Wherever there is a large amount of money, there is corruption...or at least attempts of corruption.
I belive one high ranking security officer was caught stealing a car meant for aid workers.
Another was caught using helicopters for their own personal pleasure flights.
A few more were caught with bags full of cash, syphoned off from the aid fund.

Banning important officials from leaving the country makes sense too. First, they are easy targets to Russian Spec-Ops whilst vacationing abroad. They might either be killed or turned into a spy for the nazi empire. They might also be under investigation.
Either way, these corruption scandals are good, it shows that Ukraine is at least trying to limit its corruption.

“Decades long”? the only misinformation is what you post.

Ask chatGPT about the Ukrainian civil war and you will get your answers. Also ask it about the russian language in ukraine, how many ethnic Russians live in ukraine and how many Ukrainians are of the Russian Orthodox religion.

Btw good luck with your future “OMG ChatGPT was trained by Russia????” - cope.

The reason why you get real answers from ChatGPT is because it has no revisionist data from 2022 and onwards

WTF is ChatGPT and what's it got to do with this? I'm legitimately asking. lol

I think Faust has been drinking and pretending to host dinner parties again?

I just wonder if this is an escalation that eventually will lead to nuclear war and the end of life in general as we know it.

dont think so. I dont think modern western tanks will make huge difference, because all tanks can be damaged. They are not coming in big numbers. And there should be at least three types of them (and variants), so UA will need three spare parts storages, trained mechanics, crews etc. So in the end, their combat value is questionable

BUT, these can escalate Igor Konashenkovs mind. I expect tomorow, or at least the day after, that he will bring us hot news about destroing 40 Abrams tanks, that happend in last day. With resolution of destroing remaining 50 Abrams to the end of that week

When you put it like that it makes sense, still an excuse though if ever he needed one.
