    You love to see it hope this counter offensive goes well. Prokrovs has been a fucking death trap and russia has massed 150k troops in the region. The Russians are posting footage where they are walking past a graveyard on the way into the city. Arms and legs and bodies everywhere.

        This is what the so-called “kill zone” near Pokrovsk looks like from the enemy’s perspective (source). The anti-tank ditch is packed with the bodies of Russian stormtroopers.

        Neither Solyovyov nor Skabeeva would ever show this—their narrative is all about “surgical advances across the entire frontline with minimal sanitary losses.”

        A real mass grave.

        Worth noting: the corpses haven’t been cleared, enemy vehicles don’t drive there, and another assault group marches in under fog when Ukrainian drones can’t monitor.

        I’m not going to link directly to the video as I don’t want to get banned but there’s been a few videos now of what Russians are seeing in Pokrovsk and it ain’t pretty that’s for sure, this is the channel but it’s mainly ukrainian news so you’ll have to scroll up a bit:

        I thought that was the concept behind the flag. Or maybe the yellow was supposed to be wheat fields?

          blue sky and wheat fields. the sunflower is a separate element of identity like how the trident coat of arms is. i can’t speak on this much further than that because my Ukrainian friends have such differing ideas of what these elements of identity represent and should represent and my outside perspective would only muddy the water of what should be an inside process to assign and evangelize meaning to these symbols
