The 'special military operation' continues to reach new lows. on 19:34 - Dec 24 by Nthsuffolkblue
The Russian state broadcaster thinks western citizens are unaware of the horrors of war (as inflicted by Russia)? They must think there is similar state-control of the media to their own. Surely, the Russian authorities are aware of what is in the western media. Is this therefore more for domestic consumption to make their own people think the West is deluded about the horror of it?
It’s weird. I actually think it’s for domestic consumption. Sort of ‘I know we are having to make sacrifices, but the hated enemy have much worse’ angle.
Sickening that so many people will continue to lose their lives, including 100s of Russian soldiers many of whom won’t even know why they are even there, this winter.
As it goes, Europe, apart from possibly the U.K. (wrecked economy, no storage) and that’s unlikely, will be ok this winter for energy. The longer time passes, the more Europe’s economies will move away from dependence on Russia.

Potentially some good news from the northern front. Lots of chatter of significant fighting near Kreminna. If Ukraine can make an advance here, they can completely cut the highway to Svatove making access to there difficult.
Similarly it threatens the Northern flanks of Severodonetsk and Lyschans'k.
Everything is very vague, but the level of chatter suggests something significant is happening.

There is actually nothing to negotiate. If it moves it’s forces back to pre 2024 sovereign borders then maybe there can be a conversation, not least about levels of compensation and reparations for war crimes. But that of course isn’t going to happen and everyone knows it.
Putin looking to buy time. He is playing on the West’s falling interest and falling munitions stocks along with Ukraine’s exhaustion. He wants to buy time with ‘what we have, we hold’, ‘reasonable man’ approach. A Czechoslovakia 1938 style dismemberment with pieces of paper and peace in our time smiles.
It’s a good tactic which should be resisted at all costs. Zelenski is right.
Edit: Putin is right. The west is trying to tear Russia apart if you agree with him that USSR borders plus maybe Finland are Russia. Maybe include its 1946 spheres of influence, plus maybe Western Europe. He’s a nut job.

Sixth commandment is actually "Thou shall not murder" (rather than kill ... there are limited instances such as self-defence or war where it would not be murder; however, the grounds for this "special military operation" are so weak that war is questionable from the Russian perspective).
On another note, it is dangerous to be on the Russian side and not just because of the Ukrainian forces.

That disgusting creature Putin’s new year message was yet more misinformation and propaganda. Still, if you keep telling the same lies, they become the truth or at the very least useful idiots will believe it.
Nice to see them ringing in the new year with missiles. They seem to have an inexhaustible supply whether from their own toy cupboard or their mates’.

A personal message I have received indirectly: "you will know that Russian drone attacks have been fierce in the last few days. Kyiv has been receiving wave after wave of these. ... rockets could be heard being shot down. Terrible and very loudly, everyone began to pray! Half of the people came and still got a thermos: thank God everyone is alive and unharmed!" This relates to distribution of thermos flasks delivered to enable people to store hot liquid from when the electricity is on.

ðŸ€Even fortune is on the side of the Ukrainian defenders

So Russia has admitted 89 conscripts have died in the rocket attack, Ukraine claims 400 killed. Split the difference so call it 200 plus many more injured. All those young men gone - for what? An old madman’s dreams. If there’s such a thing as hell, he’ll be in the cauldron with the worst of them hopefully soon.
I notice Putin and co have blamed it on mobile phone use. Nothing to do with billeting them next to a load of munitions in range of Ukraine with the certainty that Ukrainian military would know they were there phones or no phones through such toys as satellites.

Of course Putin broke his own ceasefire. There never was one. It was a good piece of PR presenting himself as a reasonable man; a good ma; areligious man fighting the dark forces of fascism.
It’s winter. This is a time for resupply and limited action while they desperately bring in and train their conscripts. Ceasefire? Just words.
