Personally I think it’s a deliberate leak because there isn’t going to be a spring offensive. If people then in any way criticise UA for this lack of offensive, the US says ‘sorry our bad, leak came from our side’ and there’s not really anything more can be said. Meanwhile UA gets more precious time and more training.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
What was Russia's latest succesful occupation in this war? I think it was Severodonetsk-Lysychansk in June/July. If Bahkmut holds, the RA will get to a year long without any significant advance. And it's not like they're just defending their gains, since they have lost territories in Kherson, Donetsk and Lugansk in the process.
I thought Russians are already commiting a genocide? More Ukrainians already have died than in entire Yugo conflict that lasted 4 years.
I'm waiting for NATO to enter the fight. Surprised it is taking good guys this long to react.
Problem is Putin himself will never stop, as he doesn't view Ukraine as a real country, nor does he view ukranians as real people either.
He might not be insane, but that public "conversation" he had with his chief spy over a year ago doesn't strike me as a guy who is grounded in reality either.
I'm already waiting for a proper blitzkrieg on that one. The last time that an army trained through Russian/Soviet doctrine faced Western-style blitzkrieg, the war was over within 100 hours of battle.

No one should ever want any war let alone a war between nuclear powers.
NATO won't be getting involved directly unless Russia do something like cross the Nuclear line. Even for a regime defined by their incompetence that would be a really stupid move.
I wonder who they suspect? They must have someone in mind if it's a real leak. One of the MAGA lot on the Russian payroll?
Sounds a bit melodramatic. I am still calling playlet
If that's the case, I would not give that traitor the benefit of a trial. Two bullets to the head, the corpse hung to a lamp post, and a sign that says "traitor to my country" hung around the neck.
How civilised of you.
You are writing this only because a number of Barca fans have migrated into this topic to evade their own “war”.

A silly comment to break the tension in this scary thread for a moment or less.

Could this "leak" maybe just be a way to inform the public about such plans without upsetting official channels? And while they're at it, they might also have added some false information about Ukrainian military to confuse Russia. (At least that's what I'm hoping for.)
edit: impressive figures from Poland.

The only reason NATO hasn’t officially gone in yet is the threat of escalation. Putin is a madman, it would be the perfect excuse for him. Plus it gives him even more propaganda material to say Russia is under threat. If it wasn’t a nuclear power that had tried to March in then I think NATO would have gone in. As it is, they’re doing the only thing they can at the moment-provide weapons, training and intelligence. It’s a slippery slope at the moment.
Does feel like that. Also, if it’s a Russian spy leaking it then they’ve given the game away doing it so publicly (on fecking Minecraft discord lol).
At least when the US and UK released intel in the run up to the war it was done by the very top and openly. The effect of that was to galvanise support for Ukraine, which worked. Not sure how this “leak” actually helps Russia in the long run.
That's class

The stones on this guy.
Yep. Nope. Now that’s one of those jobs that needs a 100% success rate.
Very remindful of Jeremy Renner's character in The Hurt Locker.
The british soliders knows more than anyone where the ukranian counterparts are going and that one they it could be them. Some of them will die and maybe very soon
Who knows the stories that they shared and why they are in the ukranian service. they know what they are facing. Top notch class
Yep, very classy.
An important update on (ex-)internal Russian politics — they’ve just introduced the law that equals internet draft subpoena to a real one. And if before you’ve had to personally sign for it, now the very fact of your account on gosuslugi (government services) website receiving a notice means that you've "received" it.
Those with "received" draft subpoenas can't leave the country as well as do some vital stuff (like taking credits, selling or buying a flat or a car etc.).
Things are going very well for the Russian army's enrollment it seems.

That is one way to get a lot of "volunteers".
Bah, no cigarette dangling from his lips means less degree of difficulty.
On one hand yes definitely
On the other it's just a trivial knowledge about challenging manual tasks. If you become insecure, you will feck up.

And a very easy way to serve practically every eligible male.
Many here got those numbers from places where they assume or exaggerate numbers for obvious reasons. I have been saying this for a long time. It seems more like a 1: 2 ratio in terms of causality from those leaked documents, and I think that is a bit closer to the truth. People talk about how many Russians died in places like Bakhmut, but it could destroy most of UA's reserve as well. There is no way UA troops can come out of there with minimal loss with the whole sh*t going on there for months. Hence, we didn't hear anything about the so-called counterattack. They should probably wait until the summer.Has this been posted already? Seems like the US has much lower killed estimations than many here seem to assume, for both sides. If this whole thing is real, which seems to be a bit up in the air.
Well, yeah… but that first hand you mentioned is booby trapped hand grenade in a room full of land mines.
That dude couldn’t sneak up behind you on account of his brass balls clacking together
Front page of Reddit or on r/UkraineWarVideoReport there is a video of Russians behading a Ukrainian POW with a fecking knife
Not that i reccomend anyone watching that shite, but if it gets enough mainstream attention then it might spark enough outrage that NATO countries + the rest gets a bit more generous and start sending ATACM's, fighter jets etc

Easy solution, if true. Cut all US aid and EU and UK aid to Egypt for the foreseeable future.
Yes, I saw a bit of the video, the beginning. POW was struggling. I urge most do not watch it. War is horrible.
Everyone should watch it.
