Russians With Attitude

2022-05-15 00:30:14 Aidan Aslin, the British fighter captured by Russian forces in Mariupol & currently a prisoner of war in Donetsk, has recorded a message to the admin of "DPR Joker", a Telegram channel that posts leaks about the Ukrainian army and intelligence services. We're living in the weirdest timeline. https://t.me/JokerDPR/85 Open / Comment

2022-05-11 13:37:10 A friend's observation:

Often the logic of Ukrainian propaganda can be reconstructed by understanding that they want to get even for 2014-2015.

For example: in February, there were claims about two downed IL-76s of the Russian Armed Forces in Kiev oblast. Why? Remember the IL-76 of the 24th Air Assault Regiment over Lugansk?

At the end of March, they allegedly surrounded Russian forces in Bucha and Gostomel. Where did that come from? The Ilovaysk cauldron.

And then there was a rumor recently that Russia wants to hold a POW parade on May 9th. And where did that come from? There was a POW parade arranged 7 years ago in Donetsk. Well, obviously: if then the DPR showed 50 POWs in the streets, now they will show a thousand in Moscow.

And so on and so forth. They have a pattern. Sometimes they have an anti-pattern.

This seems to be very true. If you look at many aspects of Ukrainian war propaganda, you can clearly see that it's projection. The frankly ridiculous war crime accusations against Russian soldiers mirror what the degenerate Ukrainian "Volunteer Battalions" were actually doing in Donbass, the stories about Russian soldiers being astounded at how rich Ukrainians are are a way to "get even" for millions of Ukrainian guest workers seeking prosperity in Russia over the last decades, fantasies about VDV units getting wiped out are compensation for Ukrainian Air Assault units getting humiliated by coal miner militias in 2014., etc, etc. It's a really good framework to understand what's happening there.

2022-05-10 20:56:20 A Polish journalist tried to provoke the Russian ambassador after he was assaulted with red paint in Warsaw yesterday.
"You are covered in the blood of the Ukrainian people, which this paint symbolizes, how do you feel?" the Polish journalist began.
"I am covered in syrup," replied Sergey Andreev.
- "But it symbolizes blood..."
"It symbolizes theater. The theater here and the theater in Bucha," the ambassador replied. https://t.me/Cbpub/30029 Open / Comment

2022-05-10 17:44:37 Many of you have asked us if there's a way to donate to something that isn't controlled in one way or another by Kiev. Most Russian non-profits & aid organizations can't really accept donations from Western countries right now because of the sanctions, but there's a project you can donate to in crypto & which we whole-heartedly endorse. Тыл-22 is a private humanitarian organization. They help evacuate civilians in the war-torn regions and bring humanitarian aid like water, food and medical supplies to Donbass & the Russian-controlled regions of South-East Ukraine. They also have doctors & nurses in their team who directly provide medical aid.

The organization's head is a personal friend with an immaculate reputation; he has been helping people in Donbass since 2014. You can check out some of their work on their Telegram channel, linked above. If you wish to donate to Тыл-22, check out the various ways listed on their website, or just use the crypto wallets at the end of this post.

Тыл-22 is 100% private and not in any way connected to the Russian government or military - their mission is to help civilians caught up in the war.

2022-05-07 20:33:36 A popular Ukrainian Telegram channel. Translation:

#rumors
Our source reports that our General Staff is being urged by our "partners" to create a big information victory before May 9.
Everyone understands that soon Azov will fall in Mariupol and the Russians will have a lot of prisoners, which will launch a big informational shitstorm against the government, so that this does not happen, we need to create a counterbalance.
That is why there were attempts to storm Snake Island. There is no result yet, the casualties aren't reported.
The Russian Navy ship wasn't sunk and safely departed to its home port.

Also the AFU is stepping up the offensive in the Kharkov direction, but the victories are too small, it looks more like the AFU is being lured into the depths of the Russian defense.
The situation at the Office of the President is difficult, they are being rushed.
There are options for creating a "tragedy", but the effectiveness must be several times higher than it was from the tragedy in Kramatorsk.
We're observing. https://t.me/legitimniy/12025 Open / Comment
