The War in the Ukraine

@Sinnavuuty
Every post has to be made with deliberation, and as @FriedButter quoted, not all posts will be allowed given the sensitive nature of this topic. So, while I do think your posts are contributing greatly to this thread, do note that quality and purpose will be used as a filter.
@RedBaron
The user you criticized is allowed to post that for they aren't using the news to "stick it someone" like certain users out there did in the past. As noted by @FriedButter , propaganda can only be posted for confirmation/debunking purposes, which @Sinnavuuty did, and you properly responded in kind.

Finally, if anybody continues to engage in this bickering, they will get an official warning or ban. I am sure many users prefer not to see a continuous stream of childish personal attacks.

DO NOT RESPOND TO A MOD'S BOLDED AND BLUE/RED - COLORED POST.

Once again Akhmat posted two videos of ambush they pulled on Ukrainian DRGs, and as usual with Akhmat footages, too graphic to publish. There are two videos where they ambushed armored vehicles and examined the aftermath, and there were plenty of supplies in those vehicles. The contents point to either Ukrainians leaving forward depots of supplies, planning to dig in, or having as long as they can sustain the drive to drive as far as possible. Videos are in the YouTube channel of tribunetimur.com if graphic parts are digitalized, while those Russian Telegram channels are uncensored.

Russian counterattacks on the Ukrainian offensive has yielded some prisoners, these from the AFU 80th Brigade. Another footage shows AFU prisoners captured by the 810rd Marine Brigade


T-64BV taken out by Lancet in Sverdelivko in the Kursk region.


M1124 Maxxpro gets blown up by mine or hit by an ATGM near the Kotolilovka checkpoint in the Belgorod region. It was then finished off by FPV drones.


Another graphic video of the fighting in the Kotolilovka checkpoint that showed Ukrainian soldiers receiving a direct artillery hit so I won't post that. The attack was repulsed.

Ukrainians tried to break through the Bezymeno checkpoint in the Belgorod region, and troops getting shelled so I won't post that. Armored vehicles get destroyed by 120mm mortar fire and FPV drones, includes a Kozak and a BTR-60.


A rare vehicle on vehicle direct fire engagement. A Russian BTR shooting a Ukrainian BTR-4E or Stryker with it's automatic 30mm cannon, hitting it many times and the shells exploding. This in the village of Giri in the Belovsky district of the Kursk region.


Roschel Senator APC gets hit by an FPV drone. Kursk region.


Apparently the front in Niu York has collapsed. Ukrainian T-72AV destroyed with it's crew in Niu York.


Ukrainian commandos planted a flag in the Kinburn Spit under heavy fire, filmed it with a drone, and escaped under heavy fire. There were many Ukrainian casualties as a result of this PR stunt, images too graphic to post as they show dead bodies on the shore.


Mirgorod airfield gets hit by an Iskander, taking out a Ukrainian Su-27.


Stryker hit by Lancet in the Kursk region.


Ukrainian BTR-4E getting bombed by quadcopters and attacked by FPV drones in the Kursk front.

Damaged Krab SPG somewhere.


Russian artillery hits a Ukrainian DRG group of two pickups and 8 soldiers. Kursk region.


There are more footage and images but not postable. One showed a BMP with many dead Ukrainian soldiers on and around it. The result of an ambush. Does appear to me that this offensive is taking very heavy casualties.

Ukrainian photo and psy ops post footage in the middle of Suja, but much of the outskirts of the town remains a grey zone.


Ukrainian mortar, howitzer and UAV control sites hit by Russian artillery.

French volunteers of the Normandie-Niemen group. This will give Macron the fits as this volunteer unit is fighting on the side of the Russians. Currently in the Kursk region and operating UAVs. As a group, the international brigade Pyatnashka is also operating in the Kursk region.

In this war, I wonder if international volunteers of the same nationality but serving on opposite sides (i.e., Russia vs Ukraine) have ever engaged each other yet.

Putin just tapped Aleksey Dyumin, his former bodyguard and a general to oversee the Kursk operation--defense and counter.
This guy has an extensive resume. He oversaw the annexation of Crimea.

This is personal for that guy because he was born in Kursk. I think this is a trial for him as well. Imagine the stories if he succeeds. He might be Putin's successor.

Where did you hear this?

I'm not accusing you of lying, I just want to see the official source to archive for myself. I am fluent in Russian so I dont mind a non-subbed, non-translated source.

Search his name up on X. You will see many posts confirming it.

M. Koffman reported that the Russian Kursk response is under the command of the FSB and not the military. This appears suboptimal.

Maybe they never expected the Ukranians to escalate beyond some Azov or Russian Legion suicide raids. Not out of overconfidence(I wouldn't rule it out either, though) but because such a thing would have meant drawing resources and manpower from the rest of the front, which seems ill-adviced if you can barely hold the ground you already had as it was in the middle of a manpower and equipment shortage.

They probably didn't think or expect the Ukranian leadership to be that dumb/desperate/bold and we arealdy seeing the effect around New York and other areas.

Ukraine seems to have been planning to build new military cemeteries in every major regional city with a capacity of 100,000 graves and 60,000 urn niches in each. Multiple cemeteries larger than many cities, basically

He may have been sent to address the coordination issues in Kursk. It's a total mess there. The area that was the Western Military District was divided between the Leningrad Military District (LEMD) and the Moscow Military District (MOMD) in 2024, naming their respective commanders: Lapin (LEMD) and Kozovlev (MOMD). Kursk is in the AOR of the Moscow Military District. However, the area is under the responsibility of the Northern Group, commanded by Lapin who is the commander of the LEMD. Kozovlev and his forces are deployed elsewhere in Ukraine. In addition, Nikiforov who is the head of the ground forces must also be a name to be involved in this mess, as well as Gerasimov, a man with a very tarnished image within Russia.


The Kursk leadership is just that. It is oversaturated with units of different types and branches, subordinate to various groups and commands, making it impossible to effectively coordinate the means and resources to combat the ZSU.

The appointment of Alexey Dyumin as a senior official with all the powers to eliminate the operational crisis in the Kursk region is a sign that on their own and without Moscow's intervention, the security forces were unable to solve problems of such coordination. If we take into account the fact that such problems exist in the Russian MoD, one can only be surprised at the scale of the catastrophe in the context of interdepartmental cooperation. Dyumin's appointment means that Putin's team takes full control of the situation in order to stop fraud, and also to start solving the problem, and not try to freeze it. And what is happening is the best answer to what Alexey Dyumin's real role and tasks are in the new system of the Russian Federation after its inauguration in May. Apparently, he will be the one who will become the expert in solving operational problems, as well as in solving problems of coordination, combat and civil control.

Dyumin was previously intended for the post of Minister of Defense to take Shoigu's place. Well, in fact, they have much broader powers. Today everyone will be looking for opportunities to quickly meet with Alexei Dyumin and be the first to report the situation: Putin wants to know in which interdepartmental circuit he was deceived.

Last year, former Vice President Andrei Turchak inspected Governor Roman Starovoit, who, with his decision, endorsed the readiness to equip the Russian-Ukrainian border with a fortification system. Furthermore, it is not clear what decision was made regarding the commander of the Northern Group, Colonel General Lapin, and why the Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces, Colonel General Nikiforov, was sent to Kursk.

It is obvious that Alexei Dyumin's report to the President will be decisive and will predetermine the future fate of several high-ranking officials. Just to return to one point here, Gerasimov is a man with a weakened image in Russia, as someone who spoke to Russians at an arms fair and international events in Russia said, Gerasimov only looks good with the Russian high command because they were all promoted by him, in addition to talking about the corruption of each person involved, seen as an outdated guy, doctrinally backward, this will be his last operation before he is dismissed or he may be dismissed even earlier if his image is further tarnished, Shoigu was another in the same situation as Gerasimov, he was already dismissed and placed on the Security Council. Belousov must open wide the doors of corruption of the entire high command, the same one that validated Gerasimov and continues to defend him, while at the same time if more setbacks happen, Gerasimov will sooner or later be replaced.

So many images and footages cannot be posted due to dead people. Namely Ukrainian soldiers that were getting ambushed. One example is a knocked out Roschel Senator APC and it's dead contents. Another was the CODE 9.2 unit of the AFU, part of the 92nd Brigade.

Bradley destroyed near Martynovka by Akhmat units.


Thermobaric munitions, looks like ODAB to me, hit Ukrainian positions in the Kolotilovka checkpoint in the Belgorod region.

Two destroyed Ukrainian T-72AV tanks in the Kursk region.


Five BTR-4E destroyed and one captured in the village of Giryi. Unfortunate to get ambushed by the Akhmat special forces there. Other reports puts it at seven destroyed and two captured.


Compilation of attacks by a new FPV drone against Ukrainian vehicles in the Kursk region. It is reported that Ukrainian units are carrying anti drone EW modules. But this drone is impervious to EW warfare because it is using a wire. The drone has a name that needs shortening, for now it's the 'Prince Vandal of Novgorod'. We will just refer to it as the Vandal.

Trophies were presented at Army2024 defense exhibit.


Another bomb acquired the UMPK kit, this one says OFZAB-500. It seems like it's either another thermobaric weapon or one that uses fuel. My bet is that it's used on the Kursk front. The northern fronts are being used by the Russians to test new weapons.


Irony. As it turns out, two Ukrainian Naftogaz employees are working with Gazprom and living in Suja. Their living room is decorated with US and Ukrainian flags. Both employees are now missing when. Ukrainian tank shell entered their office.
