It's likely disinfo :Anybody got a reliable source or website reporting on Putin meeting allies of his regime at a bunker in the Urals? Saw some stuff on Twitter but no idea if it's reputable.

Edit : AP update about this :
It's largely cold war era saber rattling and brinksmanship. They are more trying to send a message to NATO and the sanctioning nations about what he perceives as intervention and interference.Yeah, I personally have a hard time seeing Russian higher ups agreeing to use nuclear weapons, especially on Ukraine. The Ukrainians aren't dehumanized in the eyes of Russian soldiers, so to use nuclear weapons on them would probably cross a line.
This isn’t the same thing as State sponsored boots on the ground, but it does look like some American and British Special Ops veterans are going in as part of a volunteer foreign military unit.
I don't know if it's already a known fact or not but one of the lead gameplay designer currently at Remedy, who previously worked on games like Control and RIME, seems to have the flag of the far-right Ukrainian Insurgent Army as his twitter banner
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainian: Українська повстанська армія, УПА, Ukrayins'ka Povstans'ka Armiya, abbreviated UPA) was a Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary and later partisan formation.[1] During World War II, it was engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Soviet Union, the Polish Underground State, Communist Poland, and Nazi Germany.[2][3][4]
It was the primary perpetrator of the ethnic cleansing of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.[6][7]

The main bits I know about the modern use of this flag is that it's currently used by the far-right nationalist party "Right Sector" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_Sector
I've also seen this flag in some demonstrations in the last few years
Probably posted, but the pre-scheduled articles congratulating Putin's victory went up on Russian state-owned news sites and were promptly deleted. They give a good insight into what Putin's aims are.
Read this thread
Look at this fucking imperialism.
Well, some of the terminology is seemingly in line with Dugin's bullshitOof, I know we need to take everything with major grains of salt given that there's also a major information war going on and it's not impossible this is part of that, but this highlights what a bunch of people already realised, that if Ukraine don't survive this war, that's it for the country
The Kyiv Independent also gave an update on Russian losses per the Ministry of Defense
You aren't wrong but would that give him a reason to escalate it and say it's because we're destroying his country's economy? I'm not going to lie, although I agree with what we are doing 100% of the way, I am aware of the track we could be on soon.The problem for Russia is that this war is now going to cost them billions a day to maintain, and their economy has just been tanked.
As far as we can tell, Putin's plan was to take Kyiv and install a puppet regime over the weekend, and call it a victory from there. Now his forces are being held up on multiple fronts, the vehicle losses are catastrophic, and it's become painfully obvious that even if Kyiv is taken, the Ukranians are going to keep fighting.
If he does decide to keep fighting, it is going to absolutely ruin the Russian economy.
Gonna be very frank here, if anyone directly came in here and defended Putin I'm not going to treat them respectfully lol. Those people don't need a safe space here. They can go to the breitbart comment section. Or the RT one if it's still up in their country lolStaff CommunicationAs events continue, please be mindful of antagonistic posting towards each other. Tensions will get high, but as a community, we must remember that all we can do is be supportive of each other as everyone is just dealing with this in their own way.
Since we've had so many reports in this thread so far, if it gets to be too much, we will have to close the thread for a bit and give everyone a chance to cool down. We don't want to do this, because everyone needs a safe place to talk about these type of important/historical things, but will if we must. So please help by self regulating and rereading what you're about to press send on. Are you directly @ing someone in a negative light? Maybe delete that part. Is your source less than reputable? Maybe find another or two to replace and back it up. -blondkayvon, Harina, hologram, Rika, Squiddo
I still believe both sides feed into the crisis. A solution or compromise to stop the war requires to understand both views. I was already attacked for that view in the General Discussion thread, please don't get this wrong. I'm not defending any military action taken by Putin, but as much as I'm freightened by these actions I also don't see any actions from the West to deescalate and stop this. This is not really new but lost in discussion with all the devastating pictures from Ukraine.
I think this video published by the University of Chicago give a far better explanation of my point, so I like to share it here:

Fog of war and all that, but Russia bombing a Holocaust memorial looks real bad for them.

It's funny seeing a lot of Russia Today staff spent the last few days trying to convince everyone that they're not a propaganda machine for Putin while they're doing shit like this at the same time. Last week RT France also passed off a DNR/LNR propagandist as a journalist for their coverage of what's happening in Donbass, it was truly absurd and laughable

Putin promises to prosecute journalists who call the Ukraine war "a war". It's a war.
