Ukranian announcement aside?..so we take Russian propaganda as gospel
Please supply a link to your blog so that we can get more information.
I've seen videos of Wagner guys calmly walking around the city. There may still be pockets of resistance but nothing like the actual battle.
It's just about done. Ukes are doing thier usual the "ghost of kiev" propaganda spiel.
You rah rah ukie guys believing it really gets old. You all criticize Matt a lot.
But he has you all pegged. You have the sense of a jackass to believe any major news from the ukie gov.
Last bit of news worth anything from the ukies was from the two generals who said they did not have enough men or equipment.
But that's about it.
