Ukrainian gains around Izium far greater than at Kerson in last week.

If all the reported ammo dump hits are correct then it must really be hurting Russia’s ability to mobilise in some areas now.

There is footage now of the train that was hit by HIMARS, obvs not posting it in the thread but it's on Twitter and pretty impressive!

Thank goodness for US equipment and intelligence. Those HIMARS are incredibly effective. It’s great to see Ukraine being able to hit back so effectively now.

the hand is supposedly from an old unrelated pic.

Woah careful there, we don't do "truth" in here.

If you don't tow the OCUK line and accept as gospel fact (and not some occasional propaganda) every single pro-Ukrainian post then you'll get called a Pro-Putin Troll/Bot/Stooge by the people who, just last week, you were agreeing with when they called for the torture and murder of someone just because they did the same thing first.

except the post you quoted was 4 hrs old and no one had done that. FWIW I really hate it when the media post photos made to look like they are from a certain event but it turns out they are "illustrative" only.
I mean, what happened was disgraceful enough, there was no need to sensationalise it with the hand. but sadly most media does it.

The picture of the hand is somewhat insignificant.
Is the story true is really what we should be concerned about.

The equivalent of when BBC use a Getty image to show someone filling up a car on an article about price rises.

We get it, we understand and most of us know what a hand looks like.
I suspect they didnt stop to document the hand at exactly the right point for a twitter photo.

Whilst some may go OMG thats not HER hand and fixate on that, maybe they would not be so keen to see the real thing semi decomposed and possibly even mutilated or showing other details you wouldn't want to see, such as being tied.

So is the rest illustrative too?

\/ yeah you need to snow flake. Annoying when you’re talking weather!
