My favourite comment so far is probably that Russia's got exceptional logistics. After all, they're managing to get so much equipment behind enemy lines.

Their logistical convoys are better at breaking through enemy forces than their assault troops.

If theyd mobilized nothing but fuel trucks theyd have been in kyiv in half an hour, the Ukrainian military would be so swamped in excess fuel trucks they wouldnt be able to liberate the bars from all the drunk Ruskies.

Are we getting to the part where Russia starts sending the soldiers out with whatever they can steal from civilians?

...and the brand new boiler to keep warm.

I see that Russia has out fitted their tanks with only the most modern armour a child can make from blankets and cardboard boxes.

My blanket-forts tended to be much more robust-looking!

(Ok, so the heavy duvet coverlet, that was included, weighed at least as much as an armoured car. And the way I draped it over the bedside chair (I thought of it more as a blanket-submarine!) gave it a capacious rigidity (and, theoretically, a slope to its 'armour') far in excess of that useless 'blanket plating'. Mine would have easily withstood an imaginary anti-tank weapon!)

Hundreds of dead civilians found including 19 children in recaptured Kharkhiv town with evidence of 22 sites being used as torture rooms :(

There's something depressing about the fact I'm not even surprised.

We'll witness way worse stuff when Kherson will be liberated. And way, way worse stuff after the liberation of Mariupol.

Undoubtedly. Until this latest set of offensives, Mariupol was the biggest black eye Russia suffered in this war, which certainly made them mad.

Tell me about it. I couldn't even find in it myself to flinch. This is wrong on so many levels.

8 months into an extermination war, there's nothing surprising here. Horrifying? Yes. Surprising? No.
