Seems to be quite angry about unjustified steps with neither moral nor legal grounds that constitute a flagrant violation of the universally recognised principle and norms of international law.
Interesting

I’ve posted these boys before - ultimate academic war wonks - but they pick up on trends days before they are reported elsewhere.
Interesting analysis of what might happen next

I get you, man. But the audience is large.I'm wondering what the audience for these press releases is.
First section of todays report speaks to that point..I agree with deadmanposting. I've been saying this for years, Russians are proudly emotional rather than logical. They will tell you so themselves if you ask one. There's always an excuse for everything.
It seems bizarre to us western musical internet wizards. But that's how it is.
Culturally, Russian speaking Ukrainians, Latvians etc are not like that. Russians who live outside Russia are not like that. It's very 1984, it really is. No one on this side of the world seems to get that.
First section of todays report speaks to that point..

The Ukrainian destruction of significant elements of a Russian motorized rifle brigade that tried to cross a pontoon bridge over the Siverskyi Donets River on May 11 has shocked prominent Russian milbloggers. Those bloggers have begun commenting on the incompetence of the Russian military to their hundreds of thousands of followers. The attempted river crossing showed a stunning lack of tactical sense as satellite images show (destroyed) Russian vehicles tightly bunched up at both ends of the (destroyed) bridge, clearly allowing Ukrainian artillerymen to kill hundreds and destroy scores of vehicles with concentrated strikes. The milbloggers who have hitherto been cheering on the Russian military criticized Russian armed forces leadership for failing to learn from experience in the war. They also expressed the concern that the constant pushing of Russia’s propaganda lines was making it hard for them to understand what was actually going on.
The effects of this change in tone and discourse by these milbloggers are uncertain but could be potent. People living under tightly censored regimes often trust individuals who seem to be independent of but generally aligned with the government more than the government line (even more than do citizens of democratic societies). The commentary by these widely read milbloggers may fuel burgeoning doubts in Russia about Russia’s prospects in this war and the competence of Russia’s military leaders (at least).
On its way back to the Avozstal plantJust saw a post on a (fuck) facebook group for people supporting Ukranians in Ireland about a cat that made it out of Mariupol, all the way to Citywest, then had a freaker and ran away.
City west - bleaker than Mariupol.On its way back to the Avozstal plant
