maybe it is true after all...

Russia is building a force of 100,000 soldiers to attack the northern sector of the frontline as Ukrainian commanders start to admit that their counter-offensive has stalled.

“The enemy has concentrated a very powerful group,” he said. “More than 100,000 personnel, more than 900 tanks, more than 550 artillery systems and 370 rocket salvo systems.”

Which shows the psychopathic mentality of the guy you quoted for this news

lol how is this man not even dead yet for the amount of... "discourtesy" he shown to his Tsar.

the thing many people dont know abt rescuing people is that if you have no knowledge in doing one, DONT

the risks are too damn high

assuming that RU is massing for a push, seems like one war analyst predicted RU will try to force a push in the direction of Kyiv to cut off routes from Sumy, Kharkiv and Dnipro

analyst said doing so will force higher pressure onto the UA admin further and deter further support from NATO, as they would consider this a "lost cause"

whether or not will this will happen we can only watch

3/ Storm Z is effectively a revival of the Stalin-era shtrafbat (penal battalion) – a company-sized unit of convicts and possibly some mobilised soldiers being punished for being 'refuseniks'. Storm Z units are used for high-risk, high-casualty assaults.

4/ Ilya's mother Svetlana says that she lost contact with him in late March 2023. She was contacted by one of his cellmates from a secret phone and was told that her son had been taken to a punishment cell for 15 days.

5/ On 13 April, the prison administration told her that he was no longer being held in the facility. Three days later, Ilya called her on a borrowed phone ("there is one phone for 150 people") from Novoazovsk, a seaside town in the occupied Donetsk region near the Russian border.

6/ He told her that he had been persuaded (or forced) to go to war in while in the punishment cell. He was taken to a military airfield as part of a group of 76 convicts. "On the plane they gave him a contract with the Ministry of Defence for 6 months with a subsequent pardon."

7/ Ilya remained in touch for another 20 days. His last message at the start of May was "Love. Mum, we are on the assault." He disappeared on 9 May. Although he did not appear on any casualty lists, a fellow soldier reported that he had been killed.

8/ The Russian authorities appear to have erased Ilya's service from the record. His mother says: "The Ministry of Defence won't tell us anything. In fact, he's an escaped convict. An absolute 'ghost'."

9/ "The Ministry of Defence can't find him by his badge number [Ilya sent it to his mother shortly before his death] and claims that no such badges were issued." She has appealed without success to the regional ombudsman.

10/ Olga Romanova, the head of the prisoners' rights group 'Russia Behind Bars', says that this scenario is not unusual. "There are many cases when a body is not found and no one is looking for it."

13/ According to the independent Russian news outlet Verstka, the authorities now classify any information about convict soldiers – removing their identities from court documents and erasing information about their criminal records, effectively deleting them from history. /end
