Give him time, he might even catch up to Trump's record of gaffes, though he'll never match the lies and boasts.

Is the Russian President actually being told the truth what's really going on ?

Ukraine war: Putin being misled by fearful advisers, US says...


Russian President Vladimir Putin is being misled by advisers who are too scared to tell him how badly the war in Ukraine is going, the White House says.

Meanwhile British intelligence says Russian troops in Ukraine are demoralised, short of equipment and refusing to carry out orders.

Mr Putin is also not being told about the full impact of sanctions on the Russian economy, the White House said.

The Kremlin has not yet commented on the assessments.

White House spokesperson Kate Bedingfield said the US had information that Mr Putin "felt misled by the Russian military" and this had resulted in "persistent tension between Putin and his military leadership".

"Putin's war has been a strategic blunder that has left Russia weaker over the long term and increasingly isolated on the world stage," she said.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby called the assessments "discomforting" because an uninformed Putin could result in a "less than faithful" effort at ending the conflict through peace negotiations.

"The other thing is, you don't know how a leader like that is going to react to getting bad news," he said.


Ukrainian forces have begun attempts to retake some areas from Russia, which on Tuesday said it would scale back operations around Kyiv and the northern city of Chernihiv.

Jeremy Fleming, the head of the UK's cyber-intelligence agency GCHQ, said the move added to indications Russia had "massively misjudged the situation" and had been forced to "significantly rethink".

"We've seen Russian soldiers - short of weapons and morale - refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft," Mr Fleming said in a speech to the Australian National University in Canberra.

"And even though Putin's advisers are afraid to tell him the truth, what's going on and the extent of these misjudgements must be crystal clear to the regime."

On the ground, US and Ukrainian officials say Russia is continuing to reposition forces away from Kyiv, probably as part of its effort to refocus on eastern regions.

Here's another one showing russian's tanks getting hit.



Drone footage released by Ukrainian Forces shows a number of Russian tanks being destroyed by accurate hits of Ukrainian 120 mm mortar strikes in an undisclosed location.

From observing the footage it seems that at least 4-6 Russian tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by the strikes some of them got hit while moving.

The first tank struck by Ukrainian mortar fire appears to have been the lead vehicle. After a crew member presumably the gunner bailed out the driver of the tank still managed to drive the vehicle to the side of the road so that the other vehicles would not be blocked by it and become an easy target for further strikes.
However the second part of the video shows that exactly that happened with the other tanks.

Ukraine in the defense went on the attack -









Glory to Ukraine army :D but by the same token you can see the Russian new strategy, is to take in the Eastern territory of the country between the rebel territories and Crimea, and that portion of Ukraine will then become Russia.

Its time for the EU or NATO to get off their butts and fight.
That may well be very soon, if Putin shuts off gas and oil supply.

NATO Announced the Start of Deliveries of Offensive Weapons to Ukraine




At last, Ukranians will have the 'offensive' weapons that they need to destroy the russian army and navy thanks to NATO.

Next thing send more drones to the Mariapol area to wipe out as many of the armoured vehicles as is possible, that can force the russians to retreat out of ukraine territory.
Keep the weapons coming.

Why is Russia losing so many tanks?


It is thought that Russia has lost hundreds of tanks within two months of invading Ukraine.

Military experts put the losses down to the advanced anti-tank weapons which western nations have given to Ukraine, and to the poor way Russia has used its tanks.

Marina Ovsyannikova: German outlet hires Russian protester

A German media outlet has hired dissident Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova as a correspondent.

She will work for the company which owns Die Welt newspaper, reporting from Ukraine and Russia, it announced.

Last month Ms Ovsyannikova staged a protest on Russian television, storming her Channel One employer's live broadcast with an anti-war placard.

The 43-year-old was detained and fined by a Russian court, and made international headlines.

She will now work as a freelance correspondent for Die Welt, writing for its flagship German newspaper and appearing as a contributor on a TV news channel it owns.

Putin’s puppet media turns on ‘shameful’ failing troops -

Propagandists have begun openly criticising the state of Russia's military, even the Kremlin's most-hardened of supporters struggle to ignore the scope of its failings in Ukraine.

Drone Footage of Over 73 Russian Units Destroyed in Seversky River After Ukrainian Attacks



Says a lot about Russian so-called "special military operation" of Ukraine based on their assumption it would be completed in three days. Near on three months now. Great to see invaders getting toasted.
This is a major setback that demonstrates the Russian military force is over-rated.
