Ukraine War Update: здесь, лягушачий! лягушачий!






This is probably Komsomolske's quarry.

There are now too many sites like this to count.  Donnie Reb could leave all the artillery he has which the OSCE has taken into account at the storage sites and still have enough to quickly launch an offensive.  The Russians have poured in enough troops now so an attack is entirely doable.  tanks have been cruising Donetsk. 

Reports are that there is a very, very large massing of armored fighting vehicles (tanks, APCs and IFVs) in Gorlovka.  These are being interspersed with the remaining residential buildings.  That leads to this.  There's a reason the locals in Donetsk held their rally against the DNR.

The artillery barrages take place all along the contact line.  North to south.  There's far too few places having peace.  At least if you are a significant population center.   The strangest bombardment was in Peski.  Ukrainian sources are claiming it was (a) white phosphorus shell(s).  Here's another video with another shot n a guy's phone and some of the results of the bombardment.  It looks like it, but the Russian side has been claiming the Ukrainians have been using the stuff for some time. 

There have been some claimed ground combat in various places rather than just the artillery.  However, I have not been able to find a video in support.  It seems to happen at night save for Shirokyne.

It ought to be noted, a large number of videos which may contain Russian troops, which have been filmed since Vice News did their hunt down of the Russian soldier, are being released with the faces blurred and/or covered with balaclavas.  To me, that alone is an admission of guilt.  Never mind what Simon did.

Here's a translation of one of the videos of the protest against the DNR and you can contrast what the protestors were saying to what the Russian news broadcast near the end.  Love the claims of concentration camps in Kirovsk. 

(btw: going ad hominem is classic for a argument in Russian)

As another note, Ukrainians are watching 'Electric Yerevan' with extraordinary intensity.    I wonder why?  ;)
