Ukraine Russia War Report 🇷🇺 🇺🇦
About
This community documents the Ukraine-Russia war from both sides. Western mainstream media covers Russia's abuses extensively – I do not need to repeat that. I focus on what Western media ignores: Ukraine's corruption, TCC abuses, mobilization scandals, and human rights violations. This is not pro-Russian. This is corrective.
The West presents Ukraine as an angel and Russia as the sole devil. Reality is not that simple. The U.S. has its own history of imperialist aggression – Iraq (invaded on lies), Libya (destroyed), Afghanistan (20 years of occupation). Nobody is innocent. I bring balance by showing the side that Western outlets refuse to air.
Am I pro-Russian?
No. I oppose Russian imperialism and expansionism. I also oppose Western imperialism. I am not on any side. I am on the side of truth.
About the Moderator
I am not Russian. I am not a bot. I am a person who believes in balance and justice.
I have been migrating content from Reddit to Lemmy because Reddit censors and shadowblocks content that does not fit the Western narrative. This is not "spamming" – this is archiving.
To the critics:
Accusing everyone who criticizes Ukraine of being a Russian bot is lazy and bigoted.There is more to the world than Russia vs. West. I could be Syrian, Iraqi, Middle Eastern, Asian, South American – not everyone fits your binary worldview.If Tucker Carlson is not a Russian bot, then neither am I.
Note on Archiving
Most posts in this community are archived content migrated from Reddit and X. Those platforms systematically suspend accounts that share content critical of Ukraine or Western policies. This is a one-time bulk migration to preserve material that is being erased elsewhere. New content will be posted daily going forward.

I talked to some Ukrainians on the platform about this and all they could do is claim foreign vessels are legitimate targets if they're part of a supply chain and supplement it with either racism or "Iranians are oppressed we're doing them a favor by attacking their government"
Just absolutely insane!
It just helps Russia and Iran to increase cooperation. Russia could ask Iran for manpower in return for technology know-how. Russia is struggling with manpower; Iran is struggling with know-how and technology
Neither is actually true, Russia still have more volunteers than needed to replace the losses, and Iran, at least in fields used in this war, is ahead of most of the world.
The situation is different. Iran doesn't have a ground war. Israel or the USA can't sustain a ground war.
But this is reality: it is not sustainable. You don't want to lose your best engineer in the war, right? You should also think after the war
Depends what you think "sustainable" means. Nobody ever think they can wage infinite wars (except maybe Americans who don't have any experience of actually dying in them in numbers) but so far it's been sustainable and barred some unexpected development like US nuking Russia it will be sustainable for as long as it would need to be to defeat Ukraine. About the engineers that's the neat part of country having functional education system (again unlike USA and Ukraine), unless they are nuked they won't lose that many of them in the war that it will be impossible to replace them. Russia is also not on the really war economy too.
Again, there was no mobilisation in Russia while Ukraine do massive manhunts on the streets.
Russia’s struggle hardly compares to Ukraine’s. It hasn’t even formally declared war yet, which is required for full mobilization. It’s still fighting with one hand tied behind its back.
Russia should not need full mobilization. Ukraine should need full mobilization.
What is formally declared war, if today's fight is not a war?
Note: I am a neutral person and just seeking justice and balance
It unquestionably is a war de facto, but de jure within the state of Russia, it’s a “special military operation.”

I don't know Russian law and what approval may be needed from the Duma, but if we're being honest and not overglazing Putin, I wonder if it's some similar reason to this:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/call-war-trump-reveals-real-172604512.html
Wikipedia has a list of United States military conflicts, since our inception (it's long), and very few have been officially declared war.
I'm imagining Russia and any other state operated on similar bases, but obviously an not positive. And right now I cba ti ho digging, as I've other things to sort. Maybe I will if I have time and remember. Or maybe anyone else will.
Yeah, that’s why. In all contexts but one, this is a war. It’s only in the context of the Russian state, as a sovereign state with a body of law, that it’s an SMO.
No one disagrees that the Korean War was a war, but in the context of the US government & law at the time, it was a police action.
nothing about this situation is sane, so we shouldn't expect it.
