  6. It would be VERY interesting to see a breakdown of those ~4500 missile strikes and ~8000 air raids (bomb runs?). To see just how many of them impacted civilian structures... - houses/neighborhoods - apartment buildings - shopping centers (grocery/malls) - schools - entertainment (theaters, etc) and religious buildings - hospitals, elder care facilities, special-needs facilities - water infrastructure (pumps, waste treatment, wells, reservoirs) and central heating stations (geothermal, etc) - power plants (of any kind), distribution stations, etc - train stations (to buy tickets, board trains) - grain structures (storage, processing, or distribution) Then, if possible, include in this breakdown of each, indicate how many (if any) of those strikes Russia had claimed were because they held ""military significance/value""... Would be even better if the government could supply how many of each total (eg 4500 and 8000) really did manage to hit, or barely-miss, a legitimate "military" target (of any sort, but as little as three soldiers being there would qualify it, in my opinion) _[NOTE: any confirmations by the Ukrainian government would be of NO strategic value, since they WOULD NOT divulge the "where" or "when", or even ordinance type, of the strikes; all they would be providing is strictly a number for "hits to, near misses" That would really paint a picture of how ruthless Russia is. Even moreso, if these numbers were allowed to include how many actually hit a Ukrainian military target, as it would provide even further transparency to the world as to just how careless they are with their ordinance! It would display further that Ukraine has nothing to hide, by publicly offering these numbers, in a "Yes, as much as we would like to say that our enemy can't hit what they aim at and that they always act on bad intel, but occasionally they DO hit something of military value." Context and clarity are an extremely powerful things these days... Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN!

  9. If the washing machines and refrigerators are "smart" models, then I'm willing to bet that they are indeed being salvaged for their components in order to be used probably in drones. Same with breast pumps... I'm willing to bet they are pumps capable of monitoring how much vacuum is being drawn, potentially through a small barometric sensor. If so, then you're looking at a means of determining altitude, albeit crudely (since weather will impact the reading). On the flip side, with Huawei moving next door, to "abide" by the imposed sanctions, there's not much reason why they couldn't simply function as the "components mule". Make products for the Khazakh market only which have an absurd Bill of Materials, that aren't necessary conventionally, just to legitimize their inclusion into the products. Then, off to Russia, where they would go straight to some disassembly shop! Hell, for that matter... Depending on how these washers/dryers and fridges are being procured and shipped... THEY could be mules! There's a LOT of empty space inside them. Plenty enough to pack full of various things Russia uses for war efforts... Like off the shelf DSLR cameras their drones use. Might be something the EU Port Authorities might want to start X-Raying, in case they've been ignoring them purely in the basis of what they are... a harmless product you'd typically think nothing of! Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN! Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! โœŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ”ฑ

  17. ....*SIGH* If this doesn't cause the UN (or even NATO) to get involved... in an 'inspector' type of roll to determine that these people are being treated humanely and kept in humane conditions... THEN. WHAT. THE. FUCK. |WILL| IT TAKE?!?!? ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ข Seriously #UnitedNations do your job, please?! I'm genuinely concerned... Not only due to there being no involvement by the world powers to put a stop to this (when there were agreements in place to ensure this exact shit would not happen, vis-ร -vis the Budapest Memorandum), by which I mean physical involvement, not this proxy-war delivery of military hardware... But also the fact that everything Russia has done thus far and without repercussions has only sent a signal to Putin that he can do WHATEVER the hell he wants. Yes, sanctions, I know. Yet, those are a deterrent, to prevent further actions by the aggressor, as an indicator that the imparts of the sanctions will not stand for what is happening - a passive 'show of force', in other words. Yet here we sit, half a year later, with Russia only ramping things up in an effort to make Ukraine bend a knee. Cluster munitions dropped or fired but without targeting capabilities, so civilians end up bearing the brunt of it! Phosphorus munitions utilized, not just on the Azovstal steel plant after civilians were evacuated, but on countless farming fields, not because of hunkered down soldiers but in order to wipe out crops! Flechettes have been used... which I don't even have to put a spin on it, Russia is just using them out of pure spite! Stealing grain that was harvested prior to the invasion, or when they can't secure it, dropping munitions on the grain storage structures so that no one can use it! Must I really go on?? Because I'd rather not, but there's certainly 3 to 4 additional things I could add without even thinking, if I thought it'd actually convince the UN to do something... anything... So again...*sigh* Now if you'll excuse me, this frustrated American is going to go watch a silly pet video in an effort to lower his blood pressure. ๐Ÿ˜” Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN! Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! โœŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ”ฑ edit: fixed typo; "kept in humane conditions"

  31. Viewer Tip: there ARE auto-generated subtitles (CC), which helps alot! ๐Ÿ‘ Very helpful info, and hopefully Russians will start to use it to help themselves. Please know "the west", & the world, IS NOT fighting against the people of Russia! Our fight is with Putin and anyone who does his bidding. I personally felt our militaries needed to send in troops months ago, to help Ukraine fight Putin's army. Now...? NOW I think we need to send in troops to help innocent Russians fight Putin! ๐Ÿ˜” That man clearly has zero care or concerns for any group of people... Regardless of your country, ethnicity, religion, creed, values, status, contribution to society, none of that matters because he does not spend even a second to think about how his actions impact you! Yes, the "you" I'm specifically referring to here, are Russian citizens. He drains your whole city/village of those able to fight, doesn't care whether that town can continue to even function with potentially half the people taken... People with skillsets the others (likely) will not possess, so it's not even a matter of man vs woman, as a woman with that skillset is just as capable! (I think women make amazing fighters [equal to men], and in some situations are even superior, so I don't get why he doesn't mobilize them... unless he's worried his prison soldiers will get ""distracted"" ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ™„) So yea, I understand why some countries are turning away "tourists". (I'm guessing many Russians are not stating they're "fleeing", but are "going on vacation".) Ukrainians were fleeing because they were being invaded, but Russians are fleeing because โ€”to put it bluntlyโ€” they don't want to deal with their problem at home, a problem they allowed through their complacency, a problem named Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. You are allowed to own shotguns in Russia, and shotguns are a VERY powerful, and capable weapon. You can_easily_ remove the BBs and replace it with a hard and pointy projectile, and have it fly accurately! (Taofledermaus channel has even tested many slugs made by Russian citizens, sent directly to him from Russia, and 95% of which have performed insanely well in accuracy and stopping power!!) Viva la Russoluciรณn! โœŠโšช๐Ÿ”ตโšช #Russolucion Ukrainians... You need no criticism or pep talk! You all just keep doing what you're doing: kicking ass and taking back territory! ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿค˜ Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN! Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! โœŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ”ฑ

  32. Ukrainians, you're doing a fantastic job, particularly considering you're at an equipment disadvantage! However, thankfully, you have multiple key advantages the Russians lack... Your soldier's skills along with their ferocity and bravery. You have the world's support*. Most importantly, you don't want to become part of Russia! The ": I wish we (๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ), along with other nations which have capable militaries, would send TROOPS and not just supplies... It's a little sickening for me that we're letting this happen (... *again! 3rd time in 20 years) when we could each send in a battalion or two, and at least have them do defense/policing so that Ukrainian troops are freee up to perform counter-offensive operations to drive the occupiers out! Which brings me to... Ukrainian civilians staying in their homes: they need to be convinced to leave ๐Ÿ˜ข I understand their desire to stay, as some have farm animals they couldn't live with themself if they abandoned/ser free. Others want to at least try to protect their belongings and homes. The problem is, Russians are shelling everything and don't care if civilians are there. So if these people die, the whole reason for staying behind will have happened anyways, but now they and their family will also be lost... And that's EXACTLY what Putin wants!! Of you can at least flee and stay alive, that's another way you can help prevent Putin from achieving his goals! ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŒป Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN!

  37. My personal suspicion has been: A combination of Putin having become an "adrenaline junky" -- or at the very least, excitement junky/thrill seeker -- due to his covert and counterintelligence days in the KGB. That work got him recognized high up, which lead to his political career, where he basically started right at the top, as prime minister. So although his life slowed down a lot by comparison, he no doubt was able to live more lavishly and luxuriously. Then, he became president... He reached the top! Except, that junky-itch still lingered, and what better way to scratch it, but by starting shit with another country Which I suspect is where things started to spiral downhill... Because starting wars is kind of the biggest sort of chest pounding a leader can do, but you can't just start another war immediately after the last one finishes, as that'll end your career, in one way or another. So in the interim, he lives like a king and does whatever he wants... Like, have people killed that he doesn't like or opposes him politically! It's not a war, but... war is sort of "legal" killing, in a twisted way, at least as long as you go about it the right way in terms of the justification behind it. Having people killed, that's a new kind of risk/thrill, because that's taboo, it's not acceptable! Now his life is a chess match... A poisoning here, a war there... But then he needs more. I know, let's annex Crimea! Welp, he got away with that (as a citizen of 'The West', I'll accept the blame for that nonsense), which only means he'll dial it up further... I'm sure they're were some more poisonings or science experiments to see if gravity still works through the test of pushing someone from a multi-story building window. My gosh, works you look at the time? I need to start another war! He's taken a country's land, what's there left to do that's bigger? WAR CRIMES, baby! Enter Syria, and the act of genocide (amongst other things, no doubt)! ๐Ÿ˜” It's OK though, because he got away with it again. Surely he won't amp it up next time? Blah blah, having opponents killed, modifying your country's law for consecutive presidential terms -- oh, I forgot, in between the wars and killings, he also (almost guaranteeingly) had an election rigged so that he was momentarily prime minister again, thereby resetting his reached limit of 2 consecutive terms, and that 'elected' president turned the country back over to him! ๐Ÿ‘ But where were we... Oh, right, figuring out how he can once again, somehow, dial his evil up another notch! I KNOW! A little of column A, and a little if column B!! Let's invade Ukraine... again... and try to take the entire damn county, by overthrowing their government, while justifying it all by making an absurd lie about neo-Nazis and liberating Ukrainians, calling it not what it is... (an invasion) but a "specialty memeitary operation"! BRILLIA--... What?? What do you MEAN they're fighting back?! I don't care, take the country! How? You know damn well how! Rape, pillage, plunder; raze it to the ground! Steal their food, burn their farmlands, use 'dumb' cluster munitions while giving zero-shits about whether they actually his military targets, then use munitions no one else will because they're deemed too inhumane... gas them, launch phosphorous at them, rain flachettes down upon them!! "But...... Why, daddy?" Well, my dear... Because the man is bored. That's why. Remember when we got our puppy, and almost every day was a situation where it pissed here, destroyed that, shit there, chewed up that? That's because for part of it they didn't know any better as they were just a puppy, but the other parts were due to the fact they were bored. So when it happened, we told them "No" so they stopped, and played with them when they were bored... Now, remember when the neighbors got a new puppy? All the same things happened, except, they never corrected it. They just yelled and got mad every time, yet all these years later, it's still doing that because it doesn't know any better... That's Putin. He was never told No, never told that's bad behavior, never told to be nice or shown how. He just keeps repeating the same bad behavior, over and over and over, because everyone gets mad, but no one tells him "No! That's a bad asshole, don't do that!!" โ˜น๏ธ FIN. Thus concludes this week's Story Time, with the Duke of Ramble. ๐Ÿ˜ Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! โœŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ”ฑ

  43. ย @Vlad_-_-_ย  When I first started getting a glimpse of their dry, sarcastic humor, I knew right then and there that I had found 'my people' ๐Ÿคฃ Which on that note... If any Ukrainians are reading this: Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota are three states in the US where you'd have no trouble fitting in! ๐Ÿ˜ I can say that, as a Minnesotan. We have the exact same sense of humor and so I really appreciate ALL the jabs they take at Russia, as well as the fact that they keep it up even during times like this! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ’› [note: by no means am I saying this to imply I'm correct; you could very well be spot on.] I got a kick out of the husband of the wife being interviewed on Radio Free Europe channel. She had been explaining how far-East Russians were perplexed at the comforts of living that the Ukrainians had (indoor plumbing, hot water, natural gas, etc). She had said that he had "no idea about the" specific technology that provided their hot water+room heating.... Right then, her husband who was walking through the debris of what used to be their damn home chimes in: "Yea, and now WE have no idea where our couch is.... or my welder..." Subtly implying, not that they'd been destroyed by the artillery, but had been stolen by Russian soldiers. ๐Ÿคฃ Makes me wish my welder wasn't old and would be worth the cost of sending to him... I'll just keep my fingers crossed that the Fates are looking over us, and that they make sure the donation I made ends up going to him, so that he can then buy a new welder! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Š Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! โœŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ”ฑ

  47. I had started calling Putin and the Russian government "murderers" on account of their modern, accurate weapons somehow always landing on civilian populated targets. It's at such an outstanding degree that I'd genuinely love to see a breakdown of the missiles/bombs that Russia claimed were fired at "military targets" and, at the very least, show how many actually hit a military target, how many hit a civilian occupied target, and how many hit hit nothing. Though ideally, broken down further, for whether it was a sea, air, or land launched missile; as well as how many missed a possible military target but ended up hitting civilian occupied target; and then those that hit civilian targets, how many instances were there civilians inside vs soldiers... But I digress, my point was that their actions are not adhering to the conventional way of waging war, where targets are military and civilian casualties are only by accident. Which is clear that they are INTENTIONALLY hitting targets they know have civilians. Except, I see that "murderers" was a poor choice of term to describe them, and that Terrorist(s) genuinely is more fitting based on actions! They've become a terrorist-state, whose targets are "anyone we feel like terrorizing this year"... Which is to say, if we don't stop them now, this sort of shit is going to continue to happen every couple years, just as it has been. Doing what we have been all these years, which is "not nearly enough", it's only done one thing: show Putin he can get away with it. G7 nations: no matter how you feel about it, the fact remains - YOU ALL NEED TO SEND YOUR TROOPS TO UKRAINE! They don't have to fight on Russian soil, but they need to drive Russians out of Ukraine... and that includes Crimea! Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. STAY UKRAINIAN!
