It's hilarious watching him repeatedly go to the air raid shelters. 😂

Re: that fundraiser, lightning accepted. 30,000,000sats (~$20,000) should be enough to buy a good vehicle for delivery to the front (by me or course). Less money, lesser vehicles ($3k shitboxes get good usage).

The guy in the photo with me, Sergii Sumlemny, runs a drone foundation. He thinks about $1,000,000 should be about right to build enough drones to take back a Ukrainian town. Last summer Ukraine released a report estimating that it costs ~$900 in drones to kill or seriously injure a Russian. Now is an especially good time to do it as they're flailing due to lack of Starlink.

I don't have enough incoming LN capacity for a $1 million donation... But get it touch and I can make it happen.

That's just Russian propaganda aimed mostly at westerners. They are invading for the same reason they've invaded their neighbors for ventures: Russia is an imperialistic culture that constantly tries to expand and subjugate.

Russia wasn't always so big... Russia got that way through centuries of invasions.

It's notable how the so-called "Russian part of Ukraine" has fared the worst through all this. Russians straight up massacred Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine every chance they got. Likely at least 30,000 in Mariupol alone. Hell, when I was in Sloviansk recently the same day I was there Russians used an FPV drone to attack a 16 and a 17 year old. Fortunately they survived.

In Kherson, a notably Russian speaking part of Ukraine, Russians have done literally thousands of attacks with small drones against civilians, with hundreds dead. They don't give a fuck about "Russian speaking Ukrainians". They just want to subjugate Ukraine.

Also, re: "meat grinder", it's a relatively one sided meat grinder. Ukraine has been willing to slowly trade land for men; Russia has been willing to trade men for land. In parts of the front the kill ratios get as high as 30 to 1.

I personally have met drone pilots who have killed hundreds of Russians. It's not even that remarkable. Russia loves relentless small attacks that gradually make progress at the cost of huge numbers of men.

That's exactly what a Ukrainian commander told me awhile back. We were talking about supplying drones to the front, and he was telling me about how much they were focused on finding little efficiency improvements in things like packaging and assembly. All those 1% improvements add up.

Russians aren't. Russia is fighting almost entirely with volunteers. It's illegal in Russia for conscripts to be used within Ukraine, and that law is fairly well followed. The Russians dying in huge numbers are something like 95% volunteers, and paid very well for the risk they took.

Ukraine does have the draft, and those men do get used to defend Ukraine. Also, a lot of people volunteer in liu of getting drafted. I personally know a few people who volunteered because they'd rather be able to choose their assignments.

😂

What craters? Go find me some reputable images of that.

Hell, Russians immediately started boasting about the attack before they realized it wasn't a PR win.
