I think he's not real. Both the stories about him before and when he was killed don't add up.

It is a weird backstory, but there looks to be a few video interviews with him. He is often kitted out in the interviews like some autist.
Very strange.
The whole point is to allow people to evacuate the city. Otherwise they would have to do an operation similar to the one in Mariupol. They also initially pushed deep around Kharkiv and withdrew afterwards. The objective is to slowly bleed them out there. The Russians are presently in the process of cleaning the other Ukrainian pockets. I think once the pockets are cleaned then Kharkiv and Odessa will become the main targets. Kiev will probably only be actively engaged last. In the meantime totally encircling Kiev and cutting it off would be counter productive.
Right after Xi Jinping personally arrests Putin inside the Kremlin and takes him to the Hague for war crimes.
Can't tell if you're serious about that though.
Nah he's like a sect leader for lost veterans here... don't know if he really do something or if he's really in Ukraine but he bring peoples abroad in military conflicts for sure. Artists here take military persons as retards... so it's normal that they interview him like that.

Better letting some of Ukrainian forces waiting there... it's less to fight on in the east. Kharkiv and Odessa are way better targets anyway, I don't see Kiev captured, they will let them live in their little pocket in the north west so Ukraine will live. The rest will be annexed somewhat, all the Russian ethnic provinces more or less, if they are able.
Another bit of Ukrainian hoax propaganda.
Apparently Russian soldiers killed 10 people in Chernihiv.
Multiple western news outlets published it at the same time, despite no western journalists being on the ground. There's no significant damage to the buildings or surroundings so there's no bomb or evidence of shooting. The bodies are blurred.
It's already been commented on by the Press secretary.
I was highly suspicious straight away as there's been very little activity in Chernihiv since the conflict started. Russian tanks tried to enter the city at the start of the conflict but were stopped by police, so they turned back.
Watching the video, and comparing with google maps it's pretty easy to figure out where it happened.
The streetview is from 2015 so the some signs are older, but the roads and buildings all line up.
It's in the middle of the town. So apparently Russian soldiers drove into the town, randomly shot 10 people who happened to be queuing up for bread then drove out.

China has little sympathy for the present US dominated World Order that the Americans are so fearful of losing.
American military expert explains ‘slow’ Russian advance in Ukraine
By RT - 16 March 2022
PROPAGANDA IN THE WEST has created false expectations of Ukrainian success, retired US officer says

Russia has largely achieved its objective of neutralizing the Ukrainian military, but Western governments mistakenly believe the deliberate progress designed to avoid civilian casualties reflects weakness and are funneling weapons to prolong the fighting, a former top Pentagon adviser has said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has given strict orders from the outset to avoid civilian casualties and extensive property damage, retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor told the Grayzone in an extensive interview on Tuesday.
This has slowed the Russians’ advance “to the point where it has given false hope both to the Ukrainians … but seized on by people in the West, to try and convince the world that a defeat is in progress, when in fact the opposite is the case,” Macgregor said.
“The war, for all intents and purposes, has been decided,” the retired colonel said. “The entire operation from day one was focused on the destruction of Ukrainian forces. That’s largely complete.”
The Ukrainian units still active “are completely surrounded, cut off and isolated in various towns and cities,” said Macgregor, including as many as 60,000 on the border with Donetsk, whose supplies are likely running out by now.
Media coverage of the fighting, however, ignores this reality and paints a picture of the Russian military being “inept” – in the words of some US senators – because it didn’t defeat Kiev in mere days. This is then used as an argument by advocates of NATO intervention and a “no-fly zone,” but also those who wish to send more weapons to Kiev.

Maybe the United States really will find ourselves going to war with Russia. It’s day 20 of the Russian invasion, and some of our top minds in Washington are already convinced combat with Russia would be a cake walk.
“It’s very obvious Washington wants this to continue as long as possible, in hopes Russia would be desperately harmed. I just don’t see that happening,” Macgregor told Grayzone on Tuesday.
The biggest problem right now is that “in the West, there is no truth. There is wishful thinking and there is this impression of success by the Ukrainians that doesn’t stack up,” the colonel added. “The biggest lie I’ve heard repeated on television is, Russian troops have been told to deliberately murder Ukrainian civilians. That’s absurd, it’s nonsense.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the US Congress on Wednesday to send fighter jets, air defense missiles and other weapons to Kiev, as well as establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, so his army could defeat Russia. He made the same argument to Canadian lawmakers on Tuesday.
Macgregor, however, believes that such shipments will have no effect and that Zelensky’s refusal to negotiate an armistice is only going to get more Ukrainians killed.
