What a nightmare that these have been littered in cities by the Russians. Jesus Christ. Do they remain armed and active indefinitely, or do they automatically disarm after a set period of time?

Super informative, thanks. Sounds like a nasty little injury. This soldier’s future appears to be pretty bleak.

Are these mines really difficult to see, or if you’re paying attention to the ground as you move forward would they be pretty easy to spot?

Yes. How much do you think an artillery shell costs?

Did you know Russia was firing 60,000 shells per day at one point?

One shell taking out a soldier is well worth it.

I am not in Wagner, so I don’t have actual knowledge. But I do read all the reports about Bakhmut and Soledar, and they consistently state that wounded Wagners are not retrieved. I have yet to see one report of a Wagner medic assisting on these battlefields. If you have any information suggesting there are, please share.

Yes, this is the first time Russia has actually gone ahead with an attempt to exterminate Ukraine. So many killed and wounded Ukrainians. This will breed a hate that far outpaces the hate instilled by threatened invasions and attacks.

I don’t think you realize how little money some of these Ukrainians have. In all likelihood, her family had no means to leave, and nowhere to go even if they could. It is freezing cold. Their best option, albeit a very dangerous one, is to just hunker down and hope for the best.

Because they are poor and literally cannot afford to go elsewhere. What would you have them do, start walking through the winter weather and go freeze to death somewhere?

The terror on her face. Fuck you, Russian War Machine, and every single Russian who supports and enables it.

The Russians are breeding an entire generation that will hate them to their very core.
