I remain ever so confused by Girkin's continued freedom with these posts, but maybe it's like with Navalny and it's someone else transcribing his statements for him?

Perhaps he's an outlet for Putin to let a little truth out as a sanity check or something to add to the information overload that the Kremlin's propagandists partake in?
 
I have no reason to disbelieve that, but I have to wonder why such a seminal moment in the interior's of the Elysee Palace was being filmed? Will be interesting to see if body language experts have anything to say about it.

I'm not alone in wondering why this then? At this exact moment in time... Were they filming for something else? or was it planned to film the call?
I mean I assume he already has prior knowledge of whats going on, intelligence services had likely already briefed him on the situation prior to the call.
Does it not seem a little odd/crass to be filming such a moment though?


Edit* Ah that makes a bit more sense

I don’t know which reports are reliable at this point, but I hope the Ukrainians are destroying them. It was heartbreaking chatting with my Ukrainian colleague. They all seem gutted to be losing Boris, they really do rate the guy.

Makes you wonder how they're treating the other Brits they've captured and sentenced to death that we've heard nothing about for nearly a month now

I don't really get the mindset of a person that would just casually torture prisoners of war, war is horrible enough without adding torture to the mix.

The sooner we kick Russia out of Ukraine and leave them alone in the world the better.

Unfortunately a lot of people revert to their baser instincts when there isn't a [immediate] higher authority they have to answer to, with no ability or desire to hold themselves to any higher standards than their instincts. War often brings out both the best and worst of people.

The civilised world we are used to is largely an illusion, think I'm being cynical? just have to take a look at the state of any public/shared use toilets which aren't maintained daily (if not hourly).

Kharkiv front must be flimsy as anything seems Ukraine getting through with relative ease.

Its like they have taken so much and it was guarded by about 100 Russians :eek:

The consensus seems to be the troops left there are just not good enough to be frontline ones, they are probably capable of garrisoning a civilian region, but they were not trained in how to use any of the heavy weaponry.

I think Russia has just been putting people wherever with no real thought to what happens if it collapses.

Day by day though, they grind away more of them, and pretty soon I think we'll see Kherson collapse as they envelope it from all sides.

No, I know, we're 3 meals away from chaos, always. Just kind of makes me sad that people will be so quick to shed their civility.
 
One of the Russian soldiers captured in the last couple days said he was from Luhansk and isn't a registered soldier, they just grabbed him off the street when he was out buying groceries and shipped him to the front
