YouTube ^ | 2/1/2023 | Tribun Timur

Translation through Google:

TRIBUN-TIMUR.COM - The crew of the Russian BMP with the new Berezhok combat module carried out its last heroic battle, but was surrounded by the enemy.

The recording was widely circulated on Telegram Social Media on Wednesday (1/2/2023).

The American mercenary posted a new footage with the continuation of the battle and explaining what happened.

Russian troops from the ambushed BMP eventually take up defenses in a house, which the American mercenaries begin to raid without success.

The Americans took a loss and offered to negotiate, when one of the Russian soldiers came out the American appeared to open fire and kill him.

The crew of the Russian BMP was killed, two American mercenaries were also killed.

So far, during the invasion, Russia has released a total of 381 Ukrainian aircraft, 206 helicopters, and 2,987 unmanned aerial vehicles and anti-aircraft missile systems eliminated by Vladimir Putin's forces.

Meanwhile, from the Kyiv camp, the Ukrainian defense ministry released 850 Russian troops eliminated in the last day.

A total of 127,500 Russian Federation servicemen died since the start of the conflict up to day 343.

“The Americans took a loss and offered to negotiate, when one of the Russian soldiers came out the American appeared to open fire and kill him. “

I believe offering to negotiate and then opening fire is the Ukrainian’s strategy to tamp down Russian willingness to negotiate. Russia has been willing to negotiate throughout this conflict and the Ukrainians aren’t, and it provides bad optics exposing their desire for war.

Zelensky is just a puppet for NATO and they want regime change in Russia, they’ve said so. Negotiating with the Ukraine won’t get them what they’ve been fighting for, regime change.

So violating offers of negotiations is likely intended (aside from the obvious) to make Russians less willing to negotiate on the battlefield or in the international community. The Minsk II agreements were violated and Merkel said they were only made to buy time to build up the Ukraine for the fight with Russia.

Phoenix8 I think this video you used was taken from a propaganda site that created a fake storyline for it.

Here is another description of who was involved and it fits with my post 11.

“”FYI This is 1st Battalion International Legion, Bravo Company in the Kharkiv counteroffensive last Sep-Oct. The team fighting was the most experienced in the battalion. It WAS a Spetnaz stronghold they took. They lost 2 to artillery & 1 to a sniper, several WIA.””

Russian can have interesting senteb e and phrase constructs. While we call it an IFV Infantry Fighting Vehicle literally it translates as COMBAT (or BATTLE) VEHICLE INFANTRY

American mercenaries fought communism in Latin America and Africa, for Rhodesia and South Africa, for Savimbi, there was so much to do for the good guys.

Actually, Ansel12, I think the content you post about it is Ukrainian military propaganda, likely using a fake name. Here's the link you posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQeyk1BQ7LE

 That YOUTUBE channel provides the following description of the account owner.

 "A veteran of the Marine Infantry, YPG, YBS, and Ukrainian Spetsnaz who gives advice for going into the Military, getting out of the Military, and everything in-between.
Email - CWether@protonmail.com"
 
Here's Phoenix8's YOUTUBE channel description of the account owner for the link Phoenix8 posted:
"The official channel managed by the East Tribune newsroom. We present the best news videos from the East Tribune newsroom, the Tribun Network and Kompas Gramedia networks."
 
I looked up the publication and it looks legit, part of a network as described.
I don't know the politics of Indonesia's newsroom, but I sure don't want to read dispatches from the  Ukrainian military for 'objectivity' reasons.

Your source even sounds inauthentic, the description doesn’t ring true and they cover up the captions.

The old video is probably describing the actual combat of this unit mentioned, including the casualties.

“”1st Battalion International Legion, Bravo Company in the Kharkiv counteroffensive last Sep-Oct. The team fighting was the most experienced in the battalion. It WAS a Spetnaz stronghold they took. They lost 2 to artillery & 1 to a sniper, several WIA.””

My comment stands. Some do it for money, some do it for a rush. Our sick society has produced a bumper crop of those with a fetish for war. It’s unhealthy. Half the new pickups are flat olive or desert tan. Everyone runs around with their special forces beard. The gun stores are filled with nothing but ARs and Glock clones. A boring old beautiful hunting rifle in stock is a thing of the past.

They aren’t all after cash. Some are just after cool selfies and GoPro videos of shootouts. They are no different than bungee jumpers.
Anyone with a scrap of morality would not joining a nazi dominated military. And the fight against communism has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine.

My comment stands. There is a sickness that 20 plus years of constant war fetish and irreligious thinking has produced in our younger generation.

He’s from Poland, and thinks you are un-American. Explain to him what a meathead is...

You just don’t seem to understand these kind of men or this kind of idealism and courage.

You must have hated the Reagan years and all the patriotism and mercenary work that was going on, and the camo fashions and the popularity of various ‘black guns’ and the Glock you despise so much.

You seem emotionally distraught about things that just don’t fit in this discussion, more like just a general ‘get off my lawn’ ranting about society and AR-15s, Glocks, gun shops and beards, younger aggressive men and such.

So it’s straight from the Ukrainian military or not trustworthy, in your opinion? None of the reporting from all those 3rd parties not involved in the conflict, ONLY the Ukrainian talking points allowed. How ridiculous.
