The only reports I've seen are sensational clickbait thumbnails which I ignore. Unless it's about UFOs.

There's some video of DPR troops arguing with a higher officer and telling him that they won't fight, their officers are thieves, etc.

One thing that we keep forgetting, Russians soldiers don't steal. They liberate. They also plant flowers, kiss babies, and are kind to small animals in occupied territories.

Without confirmation from a source with reporters on the ground locally (AP and Reuters both have them on the Ukrainian side, but not Russian), I'd withhold my judgement.
If they are indeed correct, I don't know that Putin can escalate aside from nukes, because instituting widespread conscription is widely regarded as potentially dangerous to his regime's stability.

Russia's response to the Ukrainian offensive is becoming clearer....they're just schwacking anything that will hurt the civilian Ukrainian population. Latest attack is against a dam. There aren't words:

The Sun is a sensationalist media and claim came from a Russian Telegram channel. Take this info with a grain a salt.

Interesting article about russian long range aviation in the war so far:
Russia’s Secretive Long-Range Bomber Operations Against Ukraine
An in-depth look at the obscured role played by Russia’s missile-armed long-range bomber triad in the ongoing war in Ukraine.www.thedrive.com
I've read several pieces about their use thus far. I had not idea that they weren't fitted out for free-fall bombs -- but later in the same article it implies they are. Thinking back, the articles I read mentioned only doing cruise-missile launches from well behind the lines.
But yeah, I've read of -22s and -160s being involved. Didn't know Bears were operating too. Thanks for the read.

You've mentioned this several times in this thread, and the more time goes along, the more it seems apt. But if the Georgians want to do something they should do it while the Russians are distracted.

The Sun is the British version of The National Enquirer here in the USA. Believe them and you'll eat feces because they claim that it regrows hair.

The Tu-95&Tu-160 lack the capability of dropping free fall bombs but the Tu-22 could do it.

Yes, I've got Georgia on my mind as well. I'm surprised they haven't already sent troops to retake the Russian held territories. The opportunity window is now, not after Russia has negotiated a peace with Ukraine. What are they waiting for?

Maybe they don't want to start a war and look like the agressors or fear the russian answer after the war in Ukrainia (even during this war)
Why would they be aggressors if they are simply trying take back their land that was taken from them?
