POV, It depends on sides as to whether an ending at any point in the video would have been good or bad.

Those fellows happened to be Russians shooting at Ukrainians.

I think the blue bands means UKR. Russia wears white bands.

I made that out to be a Russian patch. In the gloom only the white strip on top showed. Notice that the white strip made up only 1//3 of the size of the patch.

Had it been a Ukrainian patch a yellow band would have been 1/2 of the size of the patch, and at the bottom not the top, and because it would have been yellow it wouldn't have shown up as much as a white strip in the gloom.

The fellows at one point talked to each other a bit and they were speaking Russian. I thought so, and so did Illia Ponomarenko the fellow who posted the video. This is his tweet which followed his tweet of the video:




Edit to add a link to Illia Ponomarenko's latest article about the progress of the war. It is dated the 7th of May. It is still good to read, he explains a lot of details that otherwise get over looked.

This video shows off the American M777 155mm (6 inch) guns we gave the Ukrainians. It shows lots of close up detail of the gun's parts.

On it's second shot it destroyed a Russian self propelled gun which cost several times what the M777 cost to make.

From all the twitter mentions about them the Ukrainians are clearly excited to have these guns. Today I saw four or five videos of Ukrainians using them while looking at the Twitter feed.

I was reading on Twitter that Russia was sending a new general to the Donbas.

I will see if I can find it before he is killed.

Russian troops taking desperate measures to escape Putin's war: Ukraine

Ukrainian officials said Saturday a Russian soldier told his mother in an intercepted call that his commander "shot himself in the leg" to get out of the war.

Intentionally on civilians?

Killing Russian civilians is just going to make things worse.

Murdering people automatically makes it worse. UKR doesn't seem to be into that.

No snark. Just stating a fact
