To Fight Putin or for the optics of "Putin" killing grandma? Perhaps they were just to be used as a part of the propaganda war.

Propaganda seems to be all they have.

How a Far-Right Battalion Became a Part of Ukraine’s National Guard

The Ukraine has Nazis in it's military in entire regiments.

Profile: Who are Ukraine’s far-right Azov regiment?

"The far-right neo-Nazi group has expanded to become part of Ukraine’s armed forces, a street militia and a political party."

Putin was right. There are Nazis in Ukraine. Apparently there are many.

Nuclear Plants

Russian forces 'fire rockets at SECOND nuclear facility' in Kharkiv

The underground says that this was being done at Chernobyl using the already abnormal levels of radiation as cover for the operation.

Ukraine nuclear power plants MAPPED

"why is Russia commandeering them?"

"Ukraine has four nuclear power plants scattered across the country and one decommissioned site, Chernobyl,"

Inside the Urgent Race to Secure Ukraine's Nuclear Plants

"A Russian government official told Grossi that the military was seizing the power plant to “prevent acts of sabotage” or terrorism. Ukraine, for its part, fears that the attack is an opening salvo in Russia’s goal to control their power grid."

“If your goal is to control Ukraine, one can surmise that you would want to control the infrastructure"

The Ukraine side doesn't ring true. If the Russians had wished to they could have taken down the Ukraine power grid on day 1. They kept all infrastructure intact. These statements alone would indicate that Russia does not want to control Ukraine.

Surrogates For Hire?

Is this some sort of industry here? This is odd.

Surrogate babies born in Ukraine wait out war in basement shelter

"at least 20 babies born to surrogate mothers are waiting for their foreign parents to be able to travel"

Questionable Tactics↕

Thoughts:
These are desperate measures.
These can backfire on the citizens immensely.
Do they not have an army? Who's in charge? This sounds like a shit show.
They are arming anyone with military grade weapons - including convicted criminals.
Who will they blame when it ends badly? Russia. Is this a propaganda stunt?

The propaganda war has eclipsed cyberwar in Ukraine

Think about the ramification of your 17 year old son in the basement thinking this was a good to do a couple of months from now when things have calmed down and now the CIA shows up at your door because he ATTACKED RUSSIA and other banks etc.

"Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov launched the “IT Army of Ukraine”—an unprecedented invitation to the world’s hackers to go on the offensive against Russia for his country."

"Instead, Ukraine’s IT Army and all the other groups now declaring their intent to launch such cyberattacks have all played into a roiling propaganda war touching not just Ukraine and Russia but the entire world."

"Would-be participants are directed to a Telegram channel where objectives are laid out clearly in a series of messages. Targets for hacking and DDoS attacks are listed next to manifestos outlining how to wage information war on behalf of Kyiv."

Ukraine's Soldiers Racist↕

It's important to note that there are stories all over the internet from all over the world and many countries about these issues. I Chose 2 representative stories and pulled pertinent quotes. I will only add that I did not see this coming. This also brings forward complaints of Ukraine Nazi's and the treatments of certain peoples in recent years.

Indian and African students fleeing Ukraine say they face racism at border

"foreign students attempting to leave the country say they are experiencing racist treatment by Ukrainian security forces and border officials."

"One African medical student told CNN that she and other foreigners were ordered off the public transit bus at a checkpoint between Ukraine and Poland border."

"They don't allow Indians to go through."

"CNN has been unable to confirm the identities or affiliations of the people who operated the checkpoints, but Ijantkar said they were all wearing uniforms."

"They were very racist to Indians and other nationalities,'"

"the Ukrainian army don't allow Indian men and boys to cross when you get there. They only allowed the Indian girls to get in. We had to literally cry and beg at their feet. After the Indian girls got in, the boys were beaten up. There was no reason for them to beat us with this cruelty,"

"they push us, kick us, insult us"

"A spokesperson for President Buhari, Garba Shehu, has urged that: "All who flee a conflict situation have the same right to safe passage under UN convention and the colour of their passport or their skin should make no difference."

African Students Fleeing Ukraine Report Being Told 'No Blacks' on Buses

"Race is apparently a factor for people trying to flee Ukraine"

"Ukrainian authorities denied them entry onto buses and trains because of the color of their skin"

“Some people have gone to get buses, but they’re not allowing Black people"

"there’s a “black line” for evacuees of color."

"Congolese people stuck for two days and had their passports taken away. This morning, students were beaten because they didn’t stand in the ‘black line’,"

"treatment of Africans as “horrible.”"

"turned away at the Polish border because of a “no blacks” policy"

Play By Play

What if Putin Didn’t Miscalculate?

He didn't miscaluclate he has stated coherently from the beginning what his goals are and you can see is technique of advance-step back-regroup/dispurse-and take a city happen over and over during the last month. We must be coming to the end of the "war" if they are finally sowing seeds of doubt regarding Ukraines inevitable "win".

Vladimir Putin's Ukraine Nuclear Threats Create Dangerous Guessing Game

Zelensky warns of Russian nuclear attack and calls for stockpile of radiation pills

One of the shittiest articles ever written.

Based on the title you would think you should be taking a pill made of radiation.

Not the case. Yet neither does this article tell you anything about these magical radiation pills.

I'm assuming they are talking about potassium iodide which are not radioactive or anti-radiation as I sometimes see it stated. The idea is basically to flood the body with a "healthy" iodine to such an extent that if your body is suddenly exposed to radioactive iodine it will immediately be eliminated as your body can't use any more of it thus protecting (mainly your thyroid) you from a longer exposure to more the damaging energies of other forms of radioactive iodine. It is not a fix-all either; if you have been exposeed to a huge amount of radiation in a small time frame it can not and will not protect you from acute radiation poisoning etc

(I have a bachelors in Nuclear Medicine so yes- I have some prior knowledge I can pull out of my back pocket periodically)

"The video is mostly pitch black except for a moment where a large flash is seen, said to be the Neptune missile striking the Russian vessel. This video comes after Russia said that its missile cruiser Moskva was on fire."

OK - so here's my take:
At first I wasn't sure who was telling the truth. On one hand I find it hard to believe the Ukraine side would be able to do what they claim with what they claim- not to say they couldn't be lucky. Now that I see the above story I am going to temporarily conclude that the Ukraine story is a farce and they are trying to capitalize on it as propaganda as a false sort of "win". If they had outright managed this feet they would have been singing about it far and wide immediately. The fact they don't bring it up until Russia announced the fire is the lynch pin.

Wagner mercenaries enter Ukraine to 'assassinate Zelensky', claims Ukrainian intelligence

Wagner Group - Wikipedia

"The Group has been accused of war crimes . and . of following neo-nazi ideology.

Volodymyr Zelensky survives three assassination attempts in days

"Two different outfits have been sent to kill the Ukrainian president — mercenaries of the Kremlin-backed Wagner group and Chechen special forces. Both have been thwarted by anti-war elements within Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB)."

"Wagner mercenaries ... are said to have been alarmed by how accurately the Ukrainians had anticipated their moves. A source close to the group said it was “eerie” how well briefed Zelensky’s security team appeared to be."

"Russian spies had tipped them off about the planned assassination."

"the information that led to the deaths of the Chechens came from disgruntled agents in the FSB"

"The unit serves under Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen president."

"The Wagner mercenaries were unaware of the Chechen assassins"

"Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Zelensky has stated that he is “target number one” for enemy forces"

“Western nations bear responsibility for the chaos and bloodshed,” accusing them of using “dirty methods to support terrorists in Syria and Nazis in Ukraine.”

Putin says the Minsk agreements, which aimed at peace in eastern Ukraine, no longer exist

"a pair of agreements, signed in 2014 and 2015 in Minsk, Belarus, which were intended to end fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine."

"Ukraine for us is not just a neighboring country. It is an integral part of our own history, culture, spiritual space,"

"Ukraine has "never had a tradition of genuine statehood" and that "[m]odern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia, more precisely Bolshevik communist Russia,""

Why the Minsk Accords Failed to Bring Ukraine Peace

Because they were ignored and nothing has been done with them since they were formed. The 2nd came into existence because the 1st wasn't adhered to... what do they want a 3rd Minsk agreement? Putin chose action over kicking the can.

What does Putin want in Ukraine? The conflict explained

"The agreements, known as Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 — which were hammered out in the Belarusian capital in a bid to end a bloody in eastern Ukraine — have never been fully implemented, with key issues remaining unresolved."

"lays out a plan for reintegrating the two breakaway republics into Ukraine"

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently stated that he did not like a single point of the Minsk accords, which require dialogue on local elections"

"Despite warnings from its own workers, Deutsche allowed the money to keep pouring into its coffers six years ago while the oligarch and his partners secretly amassed a steel fortune in the United States."

"vast scheme to steal millions of dollars from Ukraine’s largest bank and move the money into the U.S. to buy steel mills and skyscrapers."

"U.S. banks moved far more money than what was reported by the U.S. government — billions of dollars — for companies under the control of the power broker in patterns that went unchecked for nearly a decade."

"You would think that anyone just doing a spot check, someone would have picked up on the tempo of the transactions, the big round numbers.”"

"In the government’s battle against money laundering, banks are supposed to be the front line of defense"

"Kolomoisky orchestrated a scheme that nearly bankrupted Ukraine’s largest financial institution and sent the nation’s economy into a recession"

The Players

Researched these areas of Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea. These peoples were Russian until 1922. Their language and customs are those of Russia. In 1922 they were told they were now a part of Ukraine. In 2014 these areas declared independence except for Crimea which has been independent since 1991. Crimea is recognized as independent, the other 2 are not. Attempts since then by Ukraine to change their culture from their Russian ways results in conflict. These regions appear to want independence and freedom to be who they are.

Luhansk People's Republic - Wikipedia

"The LPR declared independence from Ukraine in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, along with the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Republic of Crimea."

"An ongoing armed conflict with Ukraine followed its declaration of independence. The LPR and DPR receive humanitarian assistance from Russia. According to NATO and Ukraine, Russia had also provided military aid to the rebels, a claim that Russia denies."

"LPR remains unrecognized by any UN member state, including Russia"

"Luhansk and Donetsk People's republics are located in the historical region of Donbas, which was added to Ukraine in 1922."

"The majority of the population speaks Russian as their first language. Attempts by various Ukrainian governments to question the legitimacy of the Russian culture in Ukraine had since the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine often resulted in political conflict."
