       The level of one's expertise in #Russia politics is measured not in the number of phrases you translate verbatim from  Putin or Shoigu stream of consciousness, but by the ability to choose those having at least some informative value.A few days ago Putin described Russian losses in Krynki as "cosmetic" (I guess that's what he meant by "sanitary"), tactics as "sparing our boys' lives" and anyone following both Russian and Ukrainian OSINT could call that bullshit based on rather hard and easy to find evidence.Yet each time we have massive YT and Twitter threads unironically repeating every single word of Putin and Shoigu that represent the same level of reliability 🤦‍♂️

       @kravietz I just find it strange, why do they even need to cross some hundreds of meters of the river to... attack some armor with FPV drones? They could do it right from Kherson! So the CNN and the BBC made some articles about soldiers who die in boats on crossing it, then they get bombed with gliding bombs (and we have no AMRAAMs to stop Russians from bombing)

       @kravietz xitter appears to be a compromised terrier promoting organisation which should be sanctioned or banned. It’s not free speech that goes on there but propaganda.

       @HelgiOf course I don't know Ukraine HQ plans about Krynki but it seems like this is the current reason to keep their foothold there:https://agora.echelon.pl/notice/AcvmxaiyLpz...

       @HelgiAnd here's "Madyar" response to the NYT publication that described the mission as suicidal based on some soldier's words:https://agora.echelon.pl/notice/AcwuqmSpIaw...
