A typical night in Lugansk - rocket artillery hits a densely populated area right in front of the camera, 12.02.2015

Some photos from the negotiations:

The press conference was originally scheduled at 12:00 local time (in about 8 minutes or so). The negotiations are still ongoing.

EDIT: RT's stream shows some commotion - the microphones are being tested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxrnlfXYo30

Египетские бэндеровцы затролили.

Putin's face is a picture, my god.

The same thing happened in Syria five years ago.
Arabic orchestras are bad at playing anthems, apparently.

EDIT: here's another kinda related Middle Eastern anthem failure: the awarding ceremony of a shooting competition in Kuwait in 2012, which was won by Kazakhstan. Instead of the real national anthem of Kazakhstan, the organizers played the Borat's version.

Novorossiyan forces storm the village of Logvinovo, through which goes the only remaining supply route for Ukrainian forces in Debaltsevo. NSFW! (dead people and general brutality).

The soviet mass building style is so darn ugly in those photos, that even without war and carnage i'd feel sorry for the people.

Prefab buildings like these were snow white immediately after construction. Due to poor maintenance, they have dilapidated to the current state. In some post-Soviet countries they are renovated, in some they are not, due to a lack of funds.
This, this, this, this, this and this is also Soviet architecture, by the way.

Enough about architecture, here are some more photos and videos from Ukraine.

It's a shame this thread is so inactive.

The 4th thread about Russia and Ukraine is over, consumed by flaming, but for a topic which was extremely flammable years before the war, it's not usual. The war, however, is not. A lot of various footage was released since then. I used to upload them in the Russia thread, but now it's locked and I don't want to spam the Europol thread. That's why I'm necroing this thread.

Most of the footage was shot by Novorossiyan troops. Ukrainians don't make many photos and videos these days, because their enemies apparently geolocate the Ukrainian positions from their combat footage. Most of the footage was shamelessly stolen from Novorossiya's Colonel Cassad.
