Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-25

[The Larch]

Yep, Ukrainian soldiers are entering Kherson city right now it seems.

Wow that's bloody cool, is it a significant municiple building or something in the outskirts/city suburbs?

IIRC it's the main administrative building of the city, so I guess it's at the center.

[The Brain]

Gammalsvenskby has been liberated.

Sky News reporter on the outskirts of Kherson - I think this must be one of the first foreign news teams entering the city:

Imagine we'll get a lot more videos like this in the next day or two of liberated people - as Barrister says, a type of video I never get tired of seeing.

That's no fucking nice.

Finally we're helping out in a war with people we can like.

[Admiral Yi]

Well, there were the Kurds.

Until we shit on them.

[Sheilbh]

Yeah he's in the press outfit when in a combat zone. But there's Ukrainian soldiers there and I assume the crowd thought he was one too

[Sheilbh]

So many videos today - it's just great.

But I thought they had voted 90%+ to be part of Russia?

That's no fucking nice.

The Iraqis and Afghans did on the whole seem pretty happy at first. The good will was lost with the occupation.
Not at all comparable of course

People are allowed to change their minds.

There's more to it than just being happy to be liberated.  Massive numbers of people volunteering for the military.  They seem sincerely thankful for the weapons we're providing.

Who told the Wagnerites it would be a good idea to release a clip of them executing a returning POW convict with a sledgehammer on social media? 

[Jacob]

I guess they believe that attempting to cultivate an air of terror and revulsion is the best way to improve internal cohesion (because they probably have no positive factors to lean on) and inspire fear in their opponents (because that's not happening through battlefield achievements).

[Legbiter]

Well they sure do things different in Mordor.

[Valmy]

Seeing lots of videos of Ukrainian soldiers in Kherson today. Any truth to that? Did Ukraine take back the city?
