I don't believe they caught anyone or else they would be parading them around already like they have with regular captured Western troops. It makes no sense that they would hype up unknown POWs but not generals etc. This is the plan for May 9th:
Russia to Dress Up Ukraine Prisoners of War for 'Grotesque' May 9th Parade
Russian forces intend to hold a "parade on the bones of Mariupol citizens," an adviser to the city's mayor said.www.newsweek.com
They wouldn't need to do this if they actually captured somebody big.
Notice that the russians follow the domestic nut job (Qanon, MAGA) playbook because they are the ones who wrote it. Every single day the Russians announce an imminent defeat, capture etc. and nothing happens. They quickly move on to the next thing as if they didn't just falsely predict some catastrophic event. Literally the same playbook as our idiots here.
As for Azovstal, the real question is how did we end up focusing on this bullshit? Russia has gone from we will quickly take Kyiv and replace the Nazi friendly government to we actually planned a 70 day + standoff at a steel plant in Mauripol. What happened to the search for the Hunter Biden led nazi covid labs?
They are focusing on Mauripol because they probably will be able to declare "victory" there by May 9th. They are already changing things to Russian and have filtration camps in place. They will systematically "liberate" the Ukrainians by forcibly deporting them to rural russia while bringing in ethnic russians to take their place in Ukraine. In a few months time, they will hold "referendums" in which the new russian inhabitants will vote for "independence" from Ukraine which will be promptly recognized by the russians. Rinse and repeat for any territory they capture and hold on to.
Separatists take down Ukrainian road signs in Mariupol
Moscow-backed separatists in southeastern Ukraine said they had taken down traffic signs spelling out the name of the besieged city of Mariupol in Ukrainian and English and replaced them with Russian…www.france24.com
Yea completely understand, I guess the focus on Azovstal is a combination of the civilians and alleged Nazis.
For me it seem like Russia should’ve been focused here from jump… the southern area of Ukraine(looks the money maker region). From Odessa to Mauripol….Access to the sea/ports, steel plant and plenty of farm land.
Seems like half of the southern area(if any)
would be more Russian friendly.
Didn’t they find hunter Biden laptop
I mean I don’t have an eagle eye for this type of bullshit but I was weak at that…
