Probably won't get the Mars ambassador role now. He goes onto say that it's highly likely this will be the outcome and we might get nuked over it.

Channel 4 News uploads all their stuff to YouTube and is pretty good. Failing that you have TLDR News who do 2-3 updates a week as well as DW News. Outwith your mainstream sources there's ppl on the ground like Kyiv Independent and war watchers like Intel Crab/War Monitor on Twitter. Also Julia Davis is worth a follow as she gets all the Russian State TV and translates it into English. Plenty of decent sources. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Appreciate I am eight months too late here but are there any Youtube channels offering reliable commentary on what's happening on a day to day basis?Watching the drones dropping bombs on soldiers in the trenches is surreal. Even the UK press is now showing this stuff on YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The International Twitter Brigades fuming that Musk can publish his hot take overnight and effortlessly overwhelm their eight months spent browsing Wikipedia and posting garbage Google translations on behalf of propaganda outlets.

ICTChris Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) The Times report source is this tweet, from Konrad Muzya, a Polish defence analyst. If you read the replies and other posts he’s made about it he gives some more details about his conclusions and possible reasons for this movement. He is a good follow about the conflict and worth reading, although I think you have to pay for his newsletter etc. He did this piece about the Kharkiv offensive in Riddle last month https://ridl.io/the-kharkiv-offensive-and-its-consequences/ Edited October 4, 2022 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 In the replies to this the account says that the Russian 126th Coastal Defense Brigade has been on the front line since March with only a couple of days leave. Depending on where you read, a military unit will start of lose effectiveness in combat if they are on the front lines for significant time periods, usually around a couple of weeks, depending on other factors. For a unit to be fighting for seven months without significant relief must be extraordinarily hard. The brigade he mentions were actually orginially a Ukrainian naval infantry unit stationed in Crimea - when Russia invaded and took over the peninsula the unit were given the opportunity to defect and around half of them did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Will be interesting to see what unfolds on that. There are very few tarmac roads in that area apparently because it's covered by huge former collective farm fields so there were only two small villages/towns the Ukrainians had to take to make that entire sector untenable for the Russians: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Seems like Ukraine is advancing quickly but that the Russians have withdrawn in an organised fashion - more like they did in the North around Kyiv than the rout in Kharkiv. This could be proven wrong, like everything else, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
