(Putting this here since it doesn't involve soldiers)

Looks like those kids haven’t eaten in days. Horrible. Just goes to show that the Russian economy being normal is just war propaganda

I posted the video here in the media thread but posting it again here more background info and photos.

PHOTOS:
"By the spring of 2022, the US deemed the units “excess defense articles” under the Arms Export Control Act, and handed them over to the Ukrainian government.

Mi-17 helicopters at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group are prepared for transport to Ukraine at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, April 19, 2022"

VIDEO #1:
"US-donated Ukrainian Mi-17V-5 operations from a forward airstrip.

Initially purchased by the US from Russia for service in Afghanistan, 16 were outside of the country when the government fell in 2021, and 5 were undergoing maintenance in Ukraine."

VIDEO #2:
"More footage of US-donated Ukrainian Mi-17 operations with the 16th Army Aviation Brigade, this time armed with unguided S-8 rockets. "

"What is going on with Kadyrov?

Was he bitten by Ukrainian combat mosquitoes? "

This is reflected in the first few paragraphs here

It reads a lot like:
“Before we bring the bad news let us focus first on the fact that Russia is losing and didn’t take Ukraine in a few days like they supposedly expected”

Myself I see more destruction before the anniversary

"Ukrainian Parliament recognized Wagner PMC as an international criminal organization today.

Ukrainian MPs also made an appeal to world parliaments and international organizations to recognize Russian private military companies as terrorist organizations."

"Russia is planning to launch a new large-scale offensive within the next 10 days, Kyiv has received "very reliable intelligence" - Financial Times, citing an unnamed Ukrainian Armed Forces adviser.

The goal of the offensive is to occupy the entire Donbas. It is reported that it may begin in the areas of the cities of Kreminna and Lyman, where the enemy has been concentrating large forces for several weeks.

The anonymous Ukrainian Armed Forces adviser also told the FT that the Russian offensive is likely to be led by elite units"
