It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.
It’s almost poetic, really.

My pleasure. The great thing about The Guardian especially, besides the fact that they do try to cover the negative sides as well, is that they tend to separate ongoing events into their own pages. You can bookmark only Ukraine and check what has happened recently easily.
Granted, these days it’s mostly whatever bombings Russia has done during the night sprinkled with whatever counter attacks Ukraine manages, but still. In my opinion they’ve been quite quick with the updates when something major has happened. They covered Prigozhin’s road trip to Moscow last year very well, almost minute to minute.
That’s true, I’m sorry.
There were some twitter accounts worth following, but after what happened over there I don’t know if any of them are still active. Likewise there were some subs in Reddit that had decent amounts of factual posts, but I don’t know about them anymore either.
Other than that, what’s wrong with piecing together news from the most reliable sources? The Guardian has excellent coverage of the war. Anything that goes on for this long will obviously suffer from some story-fatigue but they’re at least more trustworthy than anything from Russia.
It’s called fog of war for a reason though, you’re never going to get 100% unbiased and correct information about ongoing battles, for opsec reasons if nothing else.
The only relevant answer is that nobody knows for sure. Ukraine is doing their very best but they’re fighting not only Russia but also the combined effort of all the fuckwits that support Russia materially, i.e. China, Iran and North Korea etc. it’s not exactly an easy position to be in, even if their tech is of lower quality than what we have in the west they’re also able to churn out a lot more, and that shows.
On the other hand, it’s pretty telling that Russia is resorting to what amounts to long range terror bombing in between human wave attacks. They used up a lot of manpower last summer, and it can’t be easy to replace those losses. They do have access to a lot more human resources, but again, of dubious quality.
Russia is certainty hoping for another 4 years of the orange fuckwit in the White House though. That’s where the real danger is. If that happens all bets are off.
That number doesn’t really tell us anything about the amount of post/content generation that was lost. One or two persons could change the general tone of a smaller sub easily, and often did so.
If only those two hypothetical posters left it could very well lead to a downward spiral into whatever bullshit is going on over there now.
Some of the smaller more specialised subs I frequented simply don’t exist anymore due to what happened.
Oh look, you’re spouting that same regurgitated shit over here as well. I wonder why it’s so important to you to paint Ukraine in the worst possible light?
You’re getting your comments mixed up.
You’re more than a little delusional if you think this shit is going to end well for Russia.
You seem a bit confused about this whole thing.
Oh the irony.
Damn, you must really like the taste of those boots.
What, you’d be surprised if they press-ganged these women into sexual slavery? Really?
This is Russia we’re discussing here.
It’d probably end with one really fat Netanyahu. He’s exactly the kind of backstabbing bitch who’d thrive in that environment.
You’re projecting again.
I would have, but I didn’t remember it offhand and didn’t have time to check. She deserved far better than she got though, that’s for sure.
Too late, as the one who broke the story got murdered years ago. She’s not talked about nearly enough.
You’re not wrong, and he’s obviously using it to full effect either way, but it just boggles my mind a bit that they probably knew full well this’d happen and they let it, smack middle in Moscow of all places.
It’s not exactly a good look no matter how much that demented fuck tries to spin it.
It wouldn’t exactly be the first time he’d do something like this, although if this is the case it’d be quite extreme even for him.
You must really like the taste of russian boots, jfc.
I agree completely. I could see an argument for one instance that is shown globally via screens or whatnot as each year passes, but other than that I completely agree with you.
