russ TG channels published a video of what is reportedly an inspection of the Sukra-Okran vessel headed for Ukraine last weekend by the crew of Russian Vasily Bykov patrol ship.

It is a demonstration of power. Russia is trying to raise the stakes before Putin's supposedly upcoming visit to Turkey.

Dagestani soldiers decimated Kadyrov's tik-tokers!

In the temporarily occupied village of Mykhailivka in Zaporizhzhia, a conflict took place between different units of the Russian army.

According to information from the underground, on Saturday, August 12, Russian propagandists arrived in the village of Mykhailivka, Vasylivskyi district of Zaporizhzhia TOT, to film a story about the “great contribution” of a high-ranking official of Kadyrov administration to the development of the occupied territories.

Around 8:00 p.m. that day, in the Central Park area of the village, a verbal altercation took place between Kadyrivians and Dagestanis from another division of the Russian Armed Forces. During the quarrel, one of the occupants opened fire in the air from a small automatic weapon.

In the course of the fight, one of the occupiers was inflicted with numerous stab wounds, incompatible with life. This led to an open confrontation between units using under barrel grenade launchers GP-25 “Koster”, hand grenades and small automatic weapons.

During the battle, the Dagestanis were successful. On both sides, 20 Russian servicemen were killed in action, and more than 40 were wounded. The commander of the Kadyrov unit (probably with the rank of colonel) was sent to the front lines as punishment.

That's helpful but still a lot of white dots to check.

He is a politician, so in my book, that is an automatic strike against him... but I have never seen any president or leader consistently go to areas on the front line of a war in my lifetime regardless of what country the war was in. And this one is in his own. The guy wears cargo pants and tshirts/hoodies to meetings with world leaders.

I'm sure there are all kinds of reasons behind it and all kinds of theories from pro-Russians. Say whatever you want about Zelesnkyy, the but guy is fucking different from any other politician/president/world leader during war time. I might have an ounce for respect for Putin if he were going around visiting his soldiers on the front line and in hospitals even a quarter as much as Zelenskyy is.

7 different units in one day. Posted 14 August.

⚡️ 3rd separate assault unit"

Putting this in here because it's not Ukraine or Russia.

There was a large explosion at what initially was reported to be an oil depot in Makhachkala, Dagestan but it turns out it was not an oil depot and that is a result of some kind of anti-Russian "movement". I will post more info if/when I find it.

EDIT: turns out it was a gas station that exploded. 8 dead, 20 wounded. I'm still not sure what the cause was.

That is a real Russian Bio-Robot, just like the kind they have been sending to fight in the front.

Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Urozhaine from Russian troops in the southeast and dug in on its outskirts, Kyiv's deputy defence minister said on Wednesday.

"Urozhaine liberated," Hanna Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app. "Our defenders are entrenched on the outskirts."

The village in Donetsk region is part of a cluster of small rural settlements that Ukraine has declared liberated since early June when it started a push against Russian troops who control swathes of the south and east.

Russia's defence ministry did not confirm losing the settlement in a statement on Telegram but said its artillery and warplanes were attacking Ukrainian forces in the Urozhaine area.

The village's recapture would indicate Ukraine is pressing ahead with an offensive drive south towards the Sea of Azov that aims to cut Russian occupying forces in half. Urozhaine lies just over 90 km (55 miles) from the Sea of Azov.

In a sign of the difficulty of the battlefield operations, Urozhaine is the first village Ukraine says it has retaken since July 27 when it announced the recapture of neighbouring Staromaiorske.

Kyiv says its counteroffensive push is progressing slower than it wanted because of vast Russian minefields and prepared Russian defensive lines.

The recapture of Urozhaine would bring Ukraine closer to threatening the village of Staromlynivka, several kilometres to the south, which military analysts say serves as a Russian stronghold in the area.

*Ukrainian forces are now attempting to push south of Urozhaine towards nearby settlements, heaviest fighting rages.
