Incredible video shows Ukraine War
In late 2022, as Ukrainian counteroffensives reclaimed ground in the east of the country, the front between Bakhmut and Soledar to the north became a key focus for both sides. The Battle for Bakhmut has turned the city and surrounding areas into a hellscape over the last eight-and-a-half months. Ukrainian forces are seen to recover quickly from a grenade explosion at the opening of the dug out, assessing injuries and reporting that 'orcs jumped into our trenches'. Yet Russia has slowly managed to gain control of the area by exhausting Ukraine’s supplies in a deadly war of attrition, and is now believed to control around 80% of the city.
Earlier this month, an oil refinery in Krasnodar was attacked by drones on two consecutive days. Drone attacks against Russian regions on the border with Ukraine have been a regular occurrence since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year, with attacks stepping up last month. While misinformation has muddied the reality of the war, 20-year-old photography student Valeria is using the platform to show the realities through their own eyes. Her first video, “things in our bomb shelter than just make sense,” riffing off a viral TikTok trend, raked in almost 9 million views, while another, showing her “typical day in a bomb shelter”, has been watched more than 30 million times. Eh careful here, a lot of favorable imagery being pushed in western media circles. I doubt it was on its own, but we have seen Russian tanks crazily go it alone too so who knows, it is a very wierd conflict for sure.
ISR flights by NATO nations before the conflict while have undoubtedly assisted in building up an order of battle and revealing the attackers main thrusts. The video comes as CNN cited reports of heavy fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces around the city, which is positioned on the main route from Belarus to Kyiv. “We see that propaganda activities have intensified over the last couple of months.
“Russia reserves the right to take the harshest possible measures in response to the terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime,” it added. However, Germany and Britain have so far declined to send jets, saying they do not have the F-16s that Ukraine wants. They say the time required to train pilots and the substantial support crews needed to send their Eurofighter Typhoon jets meant they would be of little immediate use. A senior government source told Reuters this month that Kyiv would consider allowing Russian ammonia to transit its territory for export on condition that the Black Sea grain deal is expanded to include more Ukrainian ports and a wider range of commodities. Ukraine, Putin said, had chosen the path of attempting “to intimidate Russia, Russian citizens and attacks on residential buildings”.
The four commandos executed the operation with the help of a night-vision drone and the commander of Ukraine's special tactical group "Adam". The Wagner Group are a key part of the offensive - with the private mercenary company essentially being Putin's personal military force. Shock footage shows the mercenaries attempting to hunker down for cover as Ukrainians use a drone to scout their positions. No one really knows the cost of this brutal Russian assault on Ukraine, as the indiscriminate shooting in cities like Mariupol continue.
In other words, drones have become a tool of the propaganda war that is being waged alongside the military conflict. Drones have also been used in relief operations and in delivering emergency medical aid. From bogus livestreams to video game clips being repurposed as on-the-ground footage of the invading forces, TikTok has come under scrutiny for its inability to police content. US non-profit Media Matters for America has highlighted numerous instances of the app being abused to amplify false content.
Not released until after his death, in 1973, the film catapulted Bruce Lee to international fame. The season, which runs on Thursday nights, starts on 15 June with 1971 movie The Big Boss, which sees the newly employed Cheng Chao-an promoted to foreman due to his combat skills and promised a meeting with the big boss. However, when he discovers the factory’s covert criminal operations, he takes the law into his own hands.
As he moves, he leaves a trail of blood that stands out clearly against some broken chunks of polystyrene. A second soldier comes into view, too busy firing down the hall to help his comrade. In the age when TV news was dominant, from the 1960s to the early 2000s, we were used to two strands of news authority, the official and the sceptical. On the official side were stage-managed audio-visual moments, speeches, parades, press conferences, summit meetings; when there was a war, there was state-sanctioned footage.
In dashcam footage of the attack, falling munitions are visible and the sound of what is likely to have been a low quick-passing aircraft can be heard, consistent with the tactics of conducting a strike of this type. Dropping unguided bombs in populated areas violates the prohibition on carrying out indiscriminate attacks. Such bombs have wide-area effects and are far less accurate than precision-guided munitions. Amnesty’s Crisis Evidence Lab verified footage of the aftermath of the strike that showed damage to buildings and bodies in the street.
For example, a cluster of deaths in February point to elements of the 331st being engaged in Kreminna. The loss of life has caused much comment in Kostroma, which lies about 300km (186 miles) north-east of Moscow and has a population of around a quarter of a million. One local website noted last spring that the entire Soviet-Afghan war, lasting nine years, had cost the city 56 soldiers. Heavy losses in Ukraine have given the local authorities a difficult task of political management.
