IIRC was estimated ~4000 Russian forces and ~1000 irregular forces fighting for Russia in Lyman - quite a significant development - I wonder how many got out.

Sounds like the retreat was a slaughter. ******* beautiful gains. This plays to Ukraines advantage as Russias conscripts are rushed into the breach, unprepared and ill equipped. Ukraine must make up as much ground as possible before winter and they are doing just that.

lol how much smoke for a plane, must have been another caspian sea monster then after all.

Exactly, they do show a video of something crashing but not much smoke compared to that video from the coast, definitely different incidents, no single plane or helo goes up for that long with that amount of smoke no matter how fuelled up and armed they are.

Watch a few plane crash videos on YT, even a single seat fighter plane with some fuel onboard generates a whole lot of smoke as all the plastics and composite materials burn up.

Yeah, not that much, watch both videos

Here's a summary of Putin's speech, translated by a native Russian speaker.

Can you show me which part of the speech provides adequate justification for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and theft of her territory?

Does 'I hate the West, so I'll invade Ukraine' make any kind of sense to you?

Putin complains that the West 'seeks to deprive other countries of sovereignty.' Can you explain how invading another country and stealing her land demonstrates Putin's respect for the sovereignty of other countries?

Putin says he is anti-colonial. Can you explain how invading another country and stealing her land qualifies as an anti-colonial agenda?

Thanks for that, I'd rather read a more direct translation than something already interpreted and dumbed down.

Also, the link at the end was a good watch:

 
How easy people are to forget

Russia has a history of this, Google it - Russia has blown up its own gas pipes twice before - in 2008 and 2010, both times blowing up pipes and running between Russia and Georgia during the war

Released Ukrainian prisoner of war reveals torment at the hands of Russians​

Recent deals with Russia saw the release of 215 Ukrainian prisoners of war. Speaking for the first time to Sky's Sally Lockwood, one former marine tells of being treated "like animals" - stripped, beaten, duct-taped, shocked and humiliated.


Ukrainian marine Mikhailo Dianov before and after four months as a POW under Russia troops after defending the Azovstal steel works in Mariupol

Image:Before and after four gruelling months as a POW left Mikhailo Dianov emaciated and disfigured

When Ukrainian marine, Mikhailo Dianov, was released from Russian detention, his photo shocked the world.
His body was emaciated after four months as a prisoner of war.

When I met him, he was unrecognisable from the photos I'd seen of the well-built fighter in Mariupol, Ukraine. His clothes hung from his frail frame. His gaunt face seemed far older than his 42 years.
I had so many questions. Crucially, did you worry you wouldn't survive?
"We thought about this every day," Mikhailo tells me. "We first started having those thoughts at the Azovstal steel plant.
"At Azovstal we thought it was the end."

Mikhailo was taken following weeks under siege in Mariupol defending the steel works. It was the last corner of the city to fall in May.
He was among 215 recently released in a high-profile prisoner swap with Russia and spoke exclusively with Sky News about captivity.

"Believe me, after a month of being starved, when you close your eyes, you forget about your family, about your country, about everything. The only thing you think about is food."
'They treated us like animals'
Mikhailo lost 40kg (more than six stone) in weight in his four months as a prisoner of war.
"It was impossible to eat. You were given 30 seconds for each meal," says Mikhailo. "In 30 seconds you had to eat everything you could.
Mukhailo Dianov, Ukrainian defender of the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol, shows a victory sign after a prisoners of war (POW) swapping, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Chernihiv region, Ukraine, in this handout picture released September 22, 2022. Press Service of the State Security Service of Ukraine/Handout via REUTERS ATTENTION EDITORS - THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED BY A THIRD PARTY. DO NOT OBSCURE LOGO.

Image:The day of his release
"Bread was deliberately very hard. Guys who had their teeth knocked out couldn't manage to eat in time.
"It was 30 seconds, and then you had to stop. Then you had to get up straight away and run. It was like that all the time.
"They treated us like animals."
The meals sound pitiful, and the process of eating utterly humiliating.
This all took place in the Olenivka prison in Russian-controlled Donetsk - a place Mikhailo refers to as a concentration camp.
It clearly seems prisoners of war being held there are being starved deliberately.

Russias treatment of POWs is deliberate, to put them in such poor health that they would be unable to go back and fight.

That poor guy has a broken arm which looks like they just put in a sling and left it so it's never healed - his arm is likely completely ****** but maybe some surgeon somewhere can work a miracle for him

Another War Crime to add to the list as miss-treating POWs is against the Geneva convention

It's all part of the drama, just like the propaganda for mobilisation and such it's all a precursor so that when it does happen it's not as much of a surprise, just watch the rhetoric get ramped up calling for use of nuclear weapons, I have no doubt before the end of this war Putin will end up using one or a few

Russia's Putin revokes Geneva convention protocol on war crimes victims

Russian President Vladimir Putin has revoked an additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions related to the protection of victims of international armed conflicts, a Russian parliamentary website cites a letter from him as saying.

From that very article.

It is still a signatory to the Geneva Conventions, which is made up of four of treaties and three additional protocols.
