And lest we forget Mariupol, here is Shaun being interviewed by Operator Starsky :
Briton Shaun Pinner on the SIEGE OF MARIUPOL and SURVIVAL in Russian captivity!
British veteran turned Ukrainian marine, Shaun Pinner, shares his candid story: from joining Ukraine’s National Guard in 2018 to fighting in Mariupol during the full-scale invasion. He describes his captivity experience, how military training helped him survive, and what life looks like after the prisoner exchange. Pinner analyzes Russia’s brutal infantry tactics, the evolution of the Ukrainian army, why the West doesn’t understand Ukrainian resilience, and how Russian propaganda influences Western discourse, including election issues.
Shaun is a published author, the Ukraine war correspondent of London Loves Business and is now a globally recognized expert on kremkrapper propaganda.
I also recommend his Substack page.
Operator Starsky has just posted an update on Kostiantynivka and Kupyansk :
44 days ago internationally wanted war criminal khuilo from russia (sometimes referred to as Vladimir Putin) claimed that Kostiantynivka has been completely captured by the russian troops.
291 days ago same individual invited journalists to Kupyansk to show that Ukrainian troops were “completely surrounded”, and a month later he claimed Kupyansk was captured by the russian troops.
In reality a few hundred russian alcoholics got encircled and eliminated in Kupyansk, Kostiantynivka still stands and fights. The only thing I struggle to understand is why does anyone even consider russia a serious news source?
Another great post from OS; also from today :
Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, Ukraine, known as the cradle of Orthodox Christianity in the Eastern Europe, is celebrating its 975th anniversary.
Which is almost a hundred years older than Moscow, that somehow pretends to be the “birthplace of all slavs”. Anything is possible when you lie, though.
I find it kinda funny that the russian propagandists, who often portray Muscovia as a safe harbor for white Christians escaping from LGBT and Islam, somehow also forget to mention that each 5th person in Moscow is a Muslim – making it roughly 2 to 3 million people.
Ironically, all that “white power” neo-nazi scum immigrating from the West to russia often faces a real chance of running into a real Talib from Afghanistan on the Muscovian street. That’s shortly before being drafted and sent into his very last meat assault in Ukraine.
An important story I missed. From a couple of weeks ago :
Israel Blocked Transfer of U.S. Iron Dome Systems to Ukraine Over Fears of Technology Leaks to Iran
If this is true, it makes Netanyahu no different from Krasnov.
