Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Mr Kobayashi]

Is that what this is referring to?

Google translate:

A Russian IL-76 was shot down near Vasilkov. Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny stated that this is revenge for Luhansk in 2014. Glory to Ukraine!

Where did you read that though?

I think this war is completely unique in all the conflicts I've seen in my lifetime that there's no reliable news at all, there's no proper footage of fighting even, it's all tiktok and twitter stuff...which is 90% fake.

Ukraine is claiming to have inflicted 3,000 casualties and blown up 500+ tanks and APCs and yet we've got literally no verification and Russia is claiming 0 casualties.

Well it’s no surprise to see Russia claiming zero casualties…. As Goebbels said… if you are gonna tell a lie you may as well make sure it’s a big one….

Sounds like the Kyiv assault as begun also just read Ukraine air defence has shot down a plane carrying between 125-250 Russian paratroopers all dead.

Its funny coz I saw a Russian spokesman earlier claiming many Ukraine dead but saying no Russian troops had died - then I saw the Defence Minister in the HoC updating with the intelligence report that the Russians had taken the airport yesterday but then had lost control to the Ukrainians overnight and I thought "fuck me Vlad has deployed his Comical Ali early" - the idea they would retreat with zero losses is fanciful

Yeah...I just don't think I find him credible.

He's come out with a lot of stuff like this that I would love to believe, but no reliable news agency has backed up, there's very little photographic/video evidence to back it up, and feels a lot like stuff a government would pump out to keep morale high.




I hope he's right, just need someone like the BBC, Al-Jazeera, PA or Reuters to start backing him up.

There are videos of Ruskies burnt to a crisp outside blown up tanks and APCS, to say no casualties is as bad as North Korea claiming they won the world cup!
