Kharkiv remains unbowed

The country's second largest city, Russian-speaking Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine is fighting like demons against Putin's army, despite being surrounded, besieged, and shelled.

^ It demostrates the duplicitous Vlad Putin was utterly mistaken that the Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine would welcome him as a glorious liberator.

"Kharkiv Will Always Stand"

In the besieged northeastern city of Kharkiv, Mayor Igor Terekhov said the unrelenting assault has caused "massive destruction." A rocket strike hit the regional police headquarters, killing four people and wounding several others, Ukraine Emergency Services said.

Kharkiv is holding on and will hold on," Terekhov said on Ukrainian TV. "Today the main goal of our enemy is to sow panic and devastation, but Kharkiv will always stand."

Of course they are fighting like demons for their country. They are a conservative and religious country as a whole.

The Russian forces are retreating away from Kharkiv, and are now driven out of artillery range.

The invaders can no longer rain their shells down on Kharkiv with impunity. For the first time since Putin's war started, no artillery shells have fallen in Kharkiv the past several days.

The Ukrainian destruction of significant elements of a Russian motorized rifle brigade that tried to cross a pontoon bridge over the Siverskyi Donets River on May 11 has shocked prominent Russian milbloggers. Those bloggers have begun commenting on the incompetence of the Russian military to their hundreds of thousands of followers. The attempted river crossing showed a stunning lack of tactical sense as satellite images show (destroyed) Russian vehicles tightly bunched up at both ends of the (destroyed) bridge, clearly allowing Ukrainian artillerymen to kill hundreds and destroy scores of vehicles with concentrated strikes. The milbloggers who have hitherto been cheering on the Russian military criticized Russian armed forces leadership for failing to learn from experience in the war. They also expressed the concern that the constant pushing of Russia’s propaganda lines was making it hard for them to understand what was actually going on.

The same is true of constant pushing of Ukrainian propaganda. Fill the faithful's minds with victory mush and keep on selling the hardware.

Agreed but you seem to only disbelieve the Ukraine propaganda. Fact is Ukraine is doing better than your perception and Russia is doing much worse. I’d say it’s a draw for now with Ukraine having defeated the Russians earlier objectives.

If you took Putin's cock out of your mouth, you might notice that it is universally understood that independent media in Russia has largely been subjugated by the Kremlin.

People I know in Russia have verified this to me.


I read the independent Moscow Times for the Russian perspective, but I don't think they are actively publishing in Moscow now.

I read independent media from USA, Britain, France, Qatar (Al Jazeera), and when it existed, the Russian independent media.

I accept your tacit confession that you are literally the only poster on this board who was unaware the Russian Duma at the behest of Putin passed laws criminalizing domestic media coverage critical of the "special operation"
