Part of captured equipment for today!

Believe it or not, but over the past 14 hours, a LOT of military equipment has been captured or destroyed in the Nikolaev region.

I fear tonight might be it for Kyiv. I think they are going to get obliterated before more weapons arrive from Europe / USA.

Just believe in the best (while ordinary people cover the rear).  Wink

Great news from the source! In the Nikolaev region today, as a result of a very large-scale operation, about 400 units of Russian vehicles were destroyed!

But, unfortunately, we have hundreds of wounded!

3 possible outcomes I reckon: [...]
I have already spoken about this in another thread, but I will repeat it because it is important ... In the next day, Putin has only two goals, one of which is the encirclement of Kyiv and Mariupol, the second goal is the capture of the South-Ukrainian and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants.

A day later, the second round of negotiations begins and Putin will make every effort to have an ace in the hand.



Just take a look at these footage...  Cry

is there any local businesses that do deliveries in the area that accept bitcoin. and i mean legit businesses.
(not shoddy phishing sites set up in the last month) whereby people can just buy stuff on the website [...]
The entire city currently only accepts cash (although bank cards do work). The only currently available way to pay for goods or products using Bitcoin is to use the Best_Change service and exchange Bitcoin for Hryvnia and then withdraw funds from an ATM. In addition, postal delivery is completely paralyzed, so even if you manage to order something on the website and pay with bitcoins, you will face the fact that your goods will not be delivered.


By the way, if you want to feel what most Ukrainians felt a few hours ago, take a look at these videos ... the power of explosions of Aviation vacuum bombs and rockets is terrifying even if you are just a spectator, (these are just those moments in life when you want to be away from it all).

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is putting out daily battle updates. Apparently Russia has been bringing in a lot of tanks, and ISW predicts that they will do a major, much more destructive attack on Kyiv tomorrow.

Crimea axis: Russian forces continued limited advances on two axes out of Crimea—north toward Zaprozhia and west toward Mykolayiv, reaching the outskirts of Mykolayiv on February 28. Russia may struggle to fully supply both axes of advance and may be forced to choose which advance to prioritize.

I am nearby ... and I can say with confidence that Mykolaiv is very well fortified, besides, it is a Ukrainian harbor that has a lot of drawbridges, the Russian military yesterday tried to land troops on the other side of the river, but the city's mobile groups successfully fought back.

In addition, today's negotiations are only a preparation for the second round of negotiations and Moscow will do everything to be in a winning position, so I expect that in the next 24 hours Kiev and Mariupol will get the most. Although everything can turn out quite differently ... since there is also a Nuclear Power Plant in Zaporozhye, (control over Mykolaiv and Zaporozhye will deprive Ukraine of 50% of energy).

At the moment, the situation is quite complicated, especially considering the fact that there is an active nuclear power plant very close by, which is probably why the residents of the Mykolaiv region are no less alarmed than the residents of Kyiv or Mariupol, (dry law, and a 12-hour curfew).

Those tickets to a football game, for example, may mean the food for an entire family for 1-2 weeks I guess. It's war there! The bombs sound is so loud that it can be heard from Romania... Romania, as a nation, already accepted thousands of Ukrainean refugees. [...]
In general, this would be enough to provide 1 family for several months, if not more. In addition, as sad as it sounds, all the Refugees who leave Ukraine are VERY wealthy people. A simple ordinary Ukrainian cannot afford such a luxury even if he is provided with free housing.

I suggest that given the Russian aggression on Ukraine and all the immoral things with the voting, all crypto awards should be donated to charity in Ukraine. Since @icopress is from Ukraine and participates in the defense, he certainly knows who needs help the most.
I know ... and I also do everything within my capabilities, but I don't quite agree as it should be a voluntary choice of everyone and not morally coercive, and if someone decides to refuse any prize, I think he will declare it himself ... I can only recommend where the user could send these funds.

[...] but I don't know if you want to comment in this thread about what you think would be best, since you are there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387586.0
Thanks for directing me. I agree with LeGaulois that no one knows who is behind the @ukraine twitter account and where this money is spent, I monitor several telegram channels and they all say that it is worth donating money only through the official mobile application. Perhaps this is out of place, but I certainly know that one of the creators of this application is involved in a fraudulent ICO that raised $ 30 million (I cannot publicly report this yet, but if anyone is interested, I can send a link to my investigation in a PM). I will also soon try to delve into what Lucius said (about the connection of a charitable bitcoin address with bitcoin addresses of scammers).

How about we create a buy group among us. We could organize a campaign among the members of bitcointalk (no matter if they are in a signature campaign) One person would be responsible for buying essentials we listed from a shop accepting Bitcoin and delivering them to a charity that we would designate in order. If something starts to do it, let's do it in this thread (if @DaveF doesn't mind of course)
I tend to think that many small charities are more effective because of their flexibility and the absence of a huge chain of people managing these funds. Personally, as you understand, for the last 5 days I have been living in a rather tense state listening to the siren for 4 hours a day, but I still do some volunteer work every day to protect myself and my family. And I do it because I'm afraid ... I'm afraid of losing my home, I'm afraid to take my relatives to a psychologist, I'm afraid to die in the end. Therefore, if someone really wants to help with something, he can look at this post.

I have no experience in managing charitable funds but I know how to help my city here locally, maybe this initiative will help pay for additional power generators, food or gasoline, since all the largest wholesale food bases of the Nikolaev region are located in the regional center, which is currently located on the line of demarcation, (the situation is also complicated by the fact that stores use various tricks and speculate on prices, adding a markup of 20 to 35% on all goods).

I immediately want to say that I will not keep a spreadsheet, all I can do is publish here in the thread photos of the work done and checks, if any (very often checks are simply not issued because speculation on prices during martial law is equated to a crime). I am not eager to do charity work, but because of this incident, and because my city is in the path of advancement of Russian columns, I decided to post a bitcoin address. [...]

I think and speak Russian, but that doesn't stop me from feeling like a Ukrainian. A few days ago I already wrote about how these events affected me, and therefore, in order for you to understand my feelings, I marked my approximate location on the map (wikipediamap for February 28 is reliable).

At the moment, the situation is quite complicated, especially considering the fact that there is an active nuclear power plant very close by, which is probably why the residents of the Mykolaiv region are no less alarmed than the residents of Kyiv or Mariupol, (dry law, and a 12-hour curfew).

What foreign friends can do to help:

- Read verified Ukrainian News in English (List).
- Go to Support Actions (interactive map).
- Enter your information here if you are ready to host a family or an individual in Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria.
- Petition in support of a ban on Russian oil imports.

But despite the complexity of the situation, I am quite optimistic, and I'll explain why:

  • Over the past 8 years, the Ukrainian army has felt real support from the state and the world community. The Ukrainian army is very motivated, since we are on our own land, + the salaries of military personnel have been raised four times. As a result, in just 4 days, on a voluntary basis, 100k people with real combat experience were at the disposal of the general headquarters, (there are currently about 400k reservists in ukraine with combat experience).
  • We have problems with aviation and navy, but this is compensated by the fact that our ground forces are the equivalent of Russian ground forces (let's be objective, Putin cannot afford to expose his eastern flanks, on the border with China).
  • 15 million people are engaged in logistics support for military personnel, this is probably the main reason why Russia never managed to capture almost a single major regional center. I think such cohesion is also connected with the fact that for the first time in the history of Ukraine we have a president who, even before the war, was able to unite both the Ukrainian-speaking population and the Russian-speaking people, (previously, the president has always been a person representing only one of the ethnic groups).

It is sad that those who have no idea what ideas they are fighting for are dying on our land, and these figures clearly show our determination:

  • It also affects the fact that, in addition to defensive structures, mobile groups operate in each settlement
  • Moving into the depths of Ukraine, the columns of Russian equipment are divided into smaller groups.

Code:
Ships (boats) 27 +1
Aircraft and helicopters 780
Tanks 7400
Armored vehicles 19220
Guns and rocket artillery 1100
Automotive equipment 660
drone 10200
Air defense systems 810
About 490,000 personnel (wounded and dead)

Ukrainian losses are not known, but I can say that over the past 24 hours, 115 people have been admitted to the hospitals of my city. Yes, our hospitals are receiving hundreds of wounded, but the most amazing thing is that all the empty freezers that were previously delivered were filled in just a few hours.

Tomorrow I will think about where to find a car to deliver my freezer (to store donated blood). [...]

[...] Yes sure Putin is killing innocent Ukrainians but USA and other EU leaders are not doing less. They are making the future of innocent Russian civilians life a misery, dragging them towards dark which is not lesser than killing someone with a single bullet.
To be frank, this is the problem of the Russians themselves, since they themselves allow one person to decide their fate, therefore their government easily suppresses their inner voice. But in reality, the people should be tough and assertive, then the government will listen to the people.

In 2014, a revolution took place in Ukraine, and although I do not approve of its consequences, since 70% of the protesters received money for this and, as a result, Poroshenko became the president, the same bastard as his predecessor ... these events turned into something more, for the first time in In Ukraine, the president was democratically elected (in 2019) and now Zelensky has done more than all past presidents combined since 1991.

if ukraine has a corrupt government that commited crimes and executed racial discrimination, then they shouldn't defend them. if you defend a corrupt government you only [...]
Even if it were true to the extent that you heard about it, then it would be absolutely none of your business and certainly not Putin's business. Since we Ukrainians can swear and argue among ourselves as much as we like, but when we are offended from outside, we defend ourselves together, and believe me, we have enough willpower for this. Moreover, about 50% of the Russian-speaking population lives in Ukraine, and knowing this, do you really believe that we cannot stop language discrimination in our own country?
2073  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine [In Progress] on: February 27, 2022, 06:41:57 PM
Have you considered fighting for your country and for your fellow countrymen? The more people that pick up and run, the easier it will be for Putin to take over the area that you live in, and easier it will be for Putin to remove any freedoms that your neighbors have. Are you okay with there being a higher chance of your fellow countrymen being enslaved by a ruthless dictator whose intent is to invade your country, while you run away?
I didn't run away, I just said that I took some of my family members from Kyiv and took them to my home! And I will not take a single step from my house, and I am not the only one, so you can assume that Putin has already lost this war, [Russia would never have negotiated if their offensive had been successful].

A kilometer from my house, my friends and I built a fortified checkpoint, my wife cooks food for those who are on combat duty at this checkpoint, and I deliver what is hard to get, (today I gave away my electric generator and several boxes of groceries and also brought several boxes of Molotov cocktails). Tomorrow I will think about where to find a car to deliver my freezer (to store donated blood).


After watching the video, you might think that this kind of activity is ridiculous compared to Putin's weapons, but it stops being ridiculous when 15 million people do it for the fourth day in a row, (and the most surprising thing is that everyone whom Putin allegedly seeks to protect is involved in this).

Pretty ironic but my covid passed two days ago ...

Just yesterday, I managed to pick up some members of my family from Kyiv and moved them to the south of the country, but unfortunately I see real operational reports that say that columns of Russian equipment are moving closer to my house (despite 3,000 dead).

And I cannot describe what pain is in my heart because I am from the region where they speak and think in Russian, moreover, until yesterday, I had a normal attitude towards Russia, since every second family in Ukraine has close relatives in a brotherly country. I think when I fully take care of the safety of my family, I will also consider all possible options for protecting my land.

At the moment, battles are being fought near Kiev with sabotage groups and the regular army of Russia, but it is unlikely that Kyiv will be captured, since, according to my calculations, at least 20,000 volunteers received weapons in the last 24 hours.

These are videos from the last couple of hours.

Incredibly, Putin has attacked from virtually every direction, and Russian paratroopers are descending with almost no resistance near Kyiv - and the fall of the capital seems to be a matter of time. Although the Ukrainian army is far weaker, this is practically a surrender without any major resistance.
We will return to this conversation in a week.
