Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
What happens now also gives us an insight into the real reason the Soviet empire crumbled. Not because of some words Reagan once said, but because of the corruption and lack of real leadership that brought down their economy and undermined their whole system. And Putain brought it all back with his Make the Soviet Union Great Again movement.
Was your spelling of “Putain” deliberate? If so, I like it.
MASSOOGAH (MAke the Soviet Union Great Again)
You should watch the Adam Curtis doc “TraumaZone” on BBC. It’s a 7 hour doc about the fall of the Soviet Union and the creation of it’s oligarchs. It’s amazing. The fall of communism told through footage from 86 to 98.
@David Fewtrell Thanks. Glad to see this documentary is on youtube. Link to episode 1 : https://youtu.be/ke600MgW1F0
you want corruption look at the usa.the whole country is a disaster
Why Wagner Group use the lawyer, it seem that Wagner Group well known that their actions and involved in Ukraine’d battlefield’re illegal. It should be the lawyer advice wagner group to leave Ukraine as soon as and stop fighting and do violences in Ukraine’s region
Try watching it again. The Lawyer was representing the EX Wagner commander not Wagner.
Ukrainians are in a defensive line on the west end of Soledar behind railroad tracks and with artillery on high ground behind. The line from Kreminna to Donetsk is intact and you sure as hell don’t want RU soldiers to have contact with Ukrainian civilians and that includes ethnic Russians!
I’m glad I’m not judging this Wagner 😌person, it seems he’s wanting a free lunch but there is no such thing….is there?? I’m sure the Norwegians will do well in it’s determination of this man.
Being in a Norwegian prison might be better than any of his other options. Also, he might not have considered some of his actions to be war crimes, but western governments might.
The brave, small army of human rights activists within and outside Russia as well as the level-headed Norwegians will make sure he’s no danger to others.
@hymns4ever He’s not in prison, he’s in a safe place.
No sympathy whatsoever! “I am afraid for my life!” As are all Ukrainians. Just listen to the Russian POW interviews on Zolkin’s channel Not a single one “hurt” a civilian, not one has fired a mortar, not one has any idea how cities have been flattened. “It wasn’t me!”
Just like in Germany after WWII.
Agreed. Not only he is a member of Wagner, he is an officer. He has definitely participated in some sort of war crimes or crimes against humanity. As for POW’s interviews- I am more amazed how not a single one of them feels the need to apologise to Ukrainians.
Or the guy is just an FSB agent.
He joined Wagner, enough said..
Wait… Am I missing something here? This guy seeking asylum was a “commander” for only 4 months? Surely, he had prior military experience… But was he nonchalantly given the rank of commander?
He might have been very easily given a field command on entry into Ukraine 🇺🇦. The Wagner group is still just a loosely based group of military men and does not really have a completely cohesive society. There success has been their brutality which is why Putin wanted them in Ukraine 🇺🇦 to begin with. Still, they are just a group of not nice mercenaries who will do most anything to win, although they have been ineffective in Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Like ww2, the army was short trained men so promoted people to rank that would have taken years to normally achieve
You can see this on the battlefield feild as use only charged tactics not fire and maneuver

A Russian missile that fell on an apartment block in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnepr on Saturday was shot down mid-air by Kiev’s forces, Aleksey Arestovich, a senior adviser to President Vladimir Zelensky, has said.
Zelensky and Ukrainian officials initially reported that the nine-story building was hit by a Russian missile. According to regional Governor Valentin Reznichenko, the death toll had grown to 18 dead and 73 wounded on Sunday morning.
Arestovich, however, said in a YouTube interview with Russian activist Mark Feygin that the missile was brought down by Ukrainian troops.
Asked if the air defense forces in Dnepr had the opportunity to intercept the incoming missile, Arestovich stated: “It was shot down. It apparently fell on the [apartment] block. But it exploded when falling.”
The truth comes out .
The UKIS did it again.

The United States, as a participant in the Allied intervention during the Russian Civil War of 1918, was forced to withdraw its troops after being unable to achieve the target of empowering the anti-Bolshevik “White” forces to fight against “Red” Bolshevism in Russia. In the aftermath of the First World War, the Allied forces launched a multi-national expedition with the initial target to aid the Czechoslovak Legion to secure its trade position in the Russian ports, as well as to strengthen their Eastern Front. However, the Allied forces had to retreat when factors like a lack of
domestic support, dilution of initial goals, and war-weariness started to turn the mission of Allied intervention into an unsuccessful one. Ultimately, the Reds defeated the Whites.

You do know the US ultimately won its wars with the natives and drove them to reservations. Also, the war of 1812 was not a defeat but a stalemate. Plus, Korea ended in a stalemate, not a defeat.
The US isn’t fighting, Ukraine is. The US, along with many other countries, is providing financial, equipment and intelligence support.
Watch out for Russian sources trying to discredit this man.
I vus only following Orders…..I had No Choice…..Oldest line in Warfare
General Hertling is spot on the Russians are using their most valuable resource manpower as cannon fodder. Changing the generals staff won’t make a blind bit of difference.
The whole Russian edifice is corrupt has hell. It’s like watching the death throws of a crime syndicate each mafioso boss jostling for power. The whole edifice needs to be brought to it knees and swept down a gutter why? Because it’s utter filth!
Well said, general, thank you!
He must have heard some pleasant descriptions of the Norwegian prison system.
Innocent wagner soldier…uhm right.

No surprise about the Moscow military leaders competition.
It’s always been like this.
If willing to do the right thing I hope the lawyer and him be safe
It’s been almost a year since the start of the war in Ukraine, I and my beloved wife Megan began to mobilize our charity response. Our global community has been there every step of the way, helping us meet basic needs, establish a presence where we’re needed most, and build a foundation to provide long-term support.
Our team members continue to support local surrounding countries that are providing food, water, shelter, and other supplies and services to families doing what they can to survive. We’re expanding our response efforts and adjusting priorities as the conflict carries on and needs to become more complex.
Here are some of the ways Prince Harry Foundation and our partners are helping:
1- Delivering cash assistance directly to people who have been internally displaced or impacted by the war so they can buy what they need most.
2- Providing psychosocial care to traumatized children and parents to help them cope with the stress and emotions brought on them by the war
3- Setting up hotlines and websites to consolidate and provide updated information for those seeking refuge both in and outside of Ukraine.
4-Providing shelter, legal assistance, translation services, and transportation to those fleeing conflicts in Ukraine
We cannot do it alone, let’s all help with the little or less. We have to save a soul today. Make an impact on someone’s life today for support.
