Which is why I posted her comments about the miracle counteroffensive

It is not my opinion, it is my observation that what she is saying is even going against what zelensky_ua is writing or what ISW is publishing. Her statements are not corroborated by anything basically. But okay that is enough sure

Government officials do not fall into blatant propaganda. They may propagate but nothing like TV personalities, wanna be milbloggers, news celebrities do. Anything from government officials goes in the briefing thread.

Do you even know when that video was recorded? It could be a month old. If you were trying show what she was saying vs. Zelenskyy or ISW, you should have posted those sources as well. Solid sources that you aren't just twisting or taking out of context to fit your narrative. Either way, it didn't belong in this thread. End of discussion.

I really don't get why anyone at all responds to Faust. He's just here for the attention, no matter how he gets it. If everyone ignored him, he'd probably disappear....

Agree 100%. However, sometimes it's hard not to.

State approves plans to replace Soviet emblem on Motherland Monument with Ukrainian trident
13 July 2023

The State Inspection of Architecture and Urban Planning announced on July 13 that it issued a permit to replace the Soviet emblem on the Motherland Monument, one of Kyiv's most significant landmarks, with the Ukrainian trident.

As the inspection commented on social media, this change comes as a part of the decommunization process in Ukraine.

The state body noted that the reconstruction was contracted by the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War and the main dimensions and layout are agreed on with the Culture Ministry.

The Motherland Monument, also known as "Fatherland Mother" in a direct translation from the Ukrainian original, was built in 1981 during the Soviet era. It depicts a woman holding a sword and a shield emblazoned with the Soviet sickle and hammer symbol.

In April 2015, the Ukrainian parliament outlawed most Soviet and communist symbols, street names, and moments as part of a decommunization process. This prompted discussion on the continued presence of Soviet symbols on Ukraine's tallest statue.

In a survey from 2022, 85% of respondents supported the idea to replace the Soviet emblem with a trident – the Ukrainian coat of arms.

On May 3, 2023, following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the parliament voted on a law to remove Soviet and Russian empire monuments left in Ukraine.

Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko announced three days later that the plans to replace the Soviet symbol on the Motherland Monument with a Ukrainian coat of arms are underway.

Video:

"Video of the presumed coat of arms of Ukraine, which will replace the symbol of the USSR on the Ukrainian Motherland Monument in Kyiv"

"The process of removing the USSR coat of arms from the Motherland monument has begun in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv."

This is commentary from an official spokesperson and member of the AFU about recent fighting on the front line. Normally, it would go in the briefing thread but the fact you're claiming to know the "reality" of the situation on the front lines as if you're there personally makes it discussion thread material, if not the bin. You're not there, so it's your opinion... which you said you would not post in here again. Tisk tisk!

I'm not going to keep moving your posts and repeating myself. Transferring them into threads you're banned in is counterproductive anyway because you can't see the replies.

These posts will be removed from this thread by 07:00 UTC if KH doesn't beat me to it.

Definitely a painful fucker.

Has no logic or reasoning capabilities whatsoever & quite deaf as you need to repeat thigs over & over again to it like Wodermoma has been doing but still no savvy.
