Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

[Husky_Khan]

Russian troops are mailing back valuables they've liberated from Ukraine during their five week long 'feint' operation in a Belarussian Post Office.



Mariupol is still getting liberated. Here's a Russia Today video of a Russian tank firing on a Ukrainian apartment building. Assumedly its aimed at Ukrainian positions.



Also a Ministry of Defense video showing a Russian Strike targeting a Ukrainian factory in Mariupol, the city which has been reported in this thread as being "mopped up" a few days ago.



Two disabled Ukrainian BMP-1's in the Donbass region. One got perforated by heavy machine gun fire from the side.



A VDV Captain was buried today after being killed while likely serving in the prolonged 'Feint' during the Liberation of Ukraine. Rest in Peace Alexander Fomashin.

The Russian Truck Video.............. I have no words.

Comrades, you aren't supposed to let everyone know yet that we are back in business.

DonBass really, really likes larping like the USSR.
Then again, when your enemy despises and fears something then maybe that can be an useful weapon for demoralization and to stoke fear.

In related news, Kharkiv latino shitposter extraordinaire does a deep dive into some recent Ukrainian propaganda videos and what their target audeinces are, namely US chestbeaters and US leftard soyboys:

Small breakdown of the current situation.

 

[Husky_Khan]

More media of the reportedly orderly and disciplined redeployment of Russian Liberation Forces from Kyiv after their Month Long Feint.

Russian Army Truck with liberated Washing Machines sadly didn't make it back to Belarus.



Reportedly Ukrainian troops engaging in a deadly anti-tank clearing operation.



Supposedly more destroyed Russian military vehicles on the road to Kyiv.



Ukrainian soldiers sifting through the looted materials Russian soldiers left behind during their orderly withdrawal and redeployment after their well planned feint maneuver was over.



Women POW's returned back to Ukraine after a prisoner exchange. For some reason the Russians shaved their heads.

 

[Chiron]

More of these videos coming out lately. A reminder that while you were all fixated on the Kyiv Double Feint, the best UkA Forces were getting destroyed in Donbass by air and artillery strikes.

Part 2 has bodies in it and you can watch that on Twitter.



More forces pouring into the Izium Bridgehead.



Comrades, the 150th Rifle, Order of Kutuzov 2nd class, Idritsa Division, 79th Rifle Corps, 3rd Shock Army, 1st Belorussian Front continues forth to liberate the land from Nazis.



They had a good defensible position, but for these Misled Comrades, the reinforcements they needed were engaged around Kyiv. Having the same base doctrine, UkA High Command knew better, but Zelensky is the boss.



Took everything that wasn't nailed down.

Russian military preparing to liberate Coach Redpill.

They arnt going to take Kharkov.
Coach Red Pill may end up as a casualty

 

[Husky_Khan]

Reportedly a captured Russian camp. This might be the Russian equivalent of a Western FOB.

They arnt going to take Kharkov.
Coach Red Pill may end up as a casualty

Maybe Donbass is a Double Feint and Kharkov is the actual goal of Phase Three.

Today's map.



And can I just say? On the remote chance this really was Russia's plan all along. It was a horrible horrible plan. Because Ukraine's morale is going to be sky high after this. Which means Russia's chances of actually getting a useful cease fire to consolidate their gains is almost nil.

I could actually believe that Putin would have avoided invading Ukraine in a Trump second term had Trump actually withdrawn from NATO during this time or at least been on the verge of doing this:

[Husky_Khan]

This is just being reported so very unconfirmed and preliminary at the moment, but there's allegedly pictures (and video I suppose) of supposedly dead or executed civilians or noncombatants being found in the towns, villages and suburbs surrounding Kyiv where the Russians withdrew.

Here is a news wire Twitter thread about it that isn't showing bodies:



And some Tweets with pictures of corpses.

Spoiler: Dead Bodies

Supposedly in Bucha, civilians found dead with hands bound behind their backs.



And other tweets with bodies pictured.

 

[Vaermina]

So... This apparently happened...

 

[Zachowon]

Obviously Ukrainian propaganda. Crisis actors obviosuly!/s

Rally that is horrible amd Russian soldiers deserve every soldier they lse

Note the Vs, meaning these troops relocated quickly from West Kyiv front swiftly and in battle order. Far from a destroyed force clueless Western Analysts have said repeatably, this is an intact force ready for phase 2 in far better maneuver terrain now that they don't have to deal with the Pripyat Marshes and lend credence to the inflatable decoy trucks Western Generals kept harping on and can't figure out where they disappeared to.



The MoD has ordered more footage released, reluctantly, and with much prodding. Russian MoD still remains adamant this war not be fought on Twitter, but on the battlefield with Comrade Artillery and Comrade Airpower, the other Comrades mainly exist to get the former two Comrades into position.



More of the rear guard pulling out from West Kyiv Front. Units leaving with their gear, and as intact units in orderly fashion for the critical battles in Donbass and southern Dnieper Front.



Comrades of the FSB continue the deportations of troublemakers, and the liquidations of spies, traitors, and saboteurs.



Comrade Putin wants to ensure everyone he did not throw gasoline on this. Ignore his phone logs and the jerry can in his hands and move along Comrades.



Comrades, sorry for all the explosions, but for your safety we will be evacuating you on a clearly marked military truck. Everything will be fine.

So... This apparently happened...

36,971 people live in Bucha and the Mayor is still alive and personally raised the Ukrainian Flag after the Russians withdrew and greeted the UkA when they came in.

Now, to kill all males 18 to 60, that would leave about ~8k bodies on the street. We see 20 so far and there may be a few hundred more who tried to resist and were executed as unlawful combatants by the Russians.

It is also possible some grudges were settled under the cover of war between Ukrainians who figured it would be blamed on the Russians. Also possible collaborators were killed under cover of the war by Patriotic Ukrainians. And also possible that the constant fighting saw civilians caught in the crossfire.

An investigation is warranted in any case though due to the war evidence will be sparse and unless there are confessions, there won't be justice for anyone.

There were earlier reports of rape and executions as well, it's usually posted up on Social Media and justified and explained away as "liquidation" and "deportation" of troublemakers, saboteurs, spies and Nazis and the like but there's no way of knowing the veracity of what your seeing on Social Media so (for me anyways) it's mostly kinda skimmed over.

The Daily Beast had an article a few days ago where they featured a story of one alleged victim of being gang raped by Russian soldiers, including an Officer, and is apparently one of the first to make a report to The Hague. And apparently they found the Officers social media page as well to further identify him. They executed her husband soonafter and as they raped her, said they did it because he was a 'Nazi.'

So maybe the information from the pro-Russian social media and news sources is having a positive effect in that it's helping the Russian soldiers justify the harsh measures that are needed to 'Denazify' the Ukraine during their Liberation operations.

Nationalist Russians: "We and Ukrainians are one people!"

Also nationalist Russians: "We gotta murder all of those UkroNazis!"

From these photos it appears Russian soldiers in Bucha went house-to-house, rounded up every able bodied male, and executed them by the front door.



Ukrainian official sources now claiming that all able-bodied men from the ages of 18-60 were systematically murdered by Russian troops before they retreated.



This is outright genocide.

Vladimir Putin's five-week long invasion of Ukraine has peaked, with Russian forces no longer possessing enough combat power to continue to advance, according to one close observer of the military situation.
