Instead of mucking up the slack thread I'll be putting videos and links to things I find interesting related to the situation in Europe.

FACEBOOK ALLOWS PRAISE OF NEO-NAZI UKRAINIAN BATTALION IF IT FIGHTS RUSSIAN INVASION

Shelley Carbone ret. @shelleycarbone Civilians doing a good job of shutting down this neo-nazi bullshit from the Azov Battalion, specifically the 65+ crowd. Several junior enlisted have been caught with tattoos since i've been here, all recieved a nice cane to their rear-end. Will it change them? doubt it. 5:05 PM

.One of the biggest ways to hurt a fire team, squad or platoon is to maim, not kill. Maiming requires a leader put a hold on the objective, secure their immediate position & wait for people (like me) to evacuate the wounded. Ukrainian snipers have been spot on with this method.

.Hearing the skipper at Snake Island spent hours arguing with Fleet HQ over strategic value + insignificant defending force. Did everything he could not to kill those boys. Was ultimately threatened with a tribunal if the island wasn't taken within the following three hours.

.I'm told by UAF pilots that the "Ghost of Kyiv" is actually 4 pilots, all in the same squadron. The Russians consider any formation "finger-four" or bigger to be a threat, therefore deemed HVT's..so they've been taking turns flying CAP's around the city, no air-to-air kills..yet

.A Russian under our care says certain division commanders "pulled a Afrika Korps Rommel" = overstretching fuel / supply lines. Vanguard pulled ahead too fast, resulted in confusion at every level + vehicles running out of juice mid-assault.

.CIA / MI6 very frustrated, reckless volunteers offing officers before interrogations can occur. UAF leadership needs to crackdown, immediately. Less vigilantism and more professionalism, gotta keep those emotions in check.

I don't even think people know about the UAF-GF squad that was attached to the Border Service unit! getting this info from a UAF-AF intelligence SNCO, not public knowledge yet so in conclusion: 13 Ground Forces soldiers were killed, not Border Service!

.As the tanks rolled into Ukraine, so did malware. Then Microsoft entered the war.

Ihor Kolomoisky

Search this name. He is a Ukrainian Oligarch that just so happens to own the television station that ran the television shows President Zelenskyy acted in..

Something stinks here.

We just got a glimpse of how oligarch-funded militias could bring chaos to Ukraine
