LOL.
Yes, lots of conflicting info on the pontoon river crossing. And since there have been several attempts from both sides it makes it even harder to figure out.
Here is one analysis that is interesting:

today at 3:43 am
Analysis of Ukr photos showing large scale losses at one of the pontoon crossings (there were several of them) but specifically the much discussed Belogorovka bridgehead.
1. Large number (about 30) of the destroyed/damaged vehicles are BMP-1s
The Russian force at the crossing is from the “O” grouping which is made up of regular Russian Army units and to the best of our knowledge doesn’t include any L/DPR Militia units.(they are part of the “Z” and to a lesser extent, “V” group)
The Russian Regular Army doesn’t have BMP-1s in Ukr. They do have a upgraded version called BMP-1AM “Basurin” which has a distinctive small turret (see pics 6 & 7 for reference)
Some captured Ukr BMP-1s have probably been pressed into service but not in large numbers. They are almost exclusively used by the L/DPR Militias AND in VERY large numbers by the Ukr Army.
So to whom these BMP-1s in the pics belong...you draw your own conclusions.
2. Note the MT-LB S in pic No 3...this is a Ukr combat ambulance based on the MT-LB APC - Artillery Tractor (see also pics 4 & 5 for reference)

‼️🇬🇧The destruction of the pontoon crossing and the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine when trying to cross the Seversky Donets - details from the Ministry of Defense
◽️In the course of reconnaissance and search operations of a motorized rifle unit of the RF Armed Forces, an UAV crew discovered a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on infantry fighting vehicles that attempted to cross the pontoon crossing.
💥The pontoon crossing was completely destroyed by artillery fire and sank . The enemy armored vehicles with crews that managed to cross the pontoons during the battle were destroyed by the fire of Russian artillerymen and crews of infantry fighting vehicles. Part of the armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was captured by Russian servicemen.

Interesting article. Yesterday someone posted a story about the Russians wantonly raping women and girls. The article implied this was happening on a frequent or even regular basis. To me, that article was quintessential propaganda. Not sure the purpose of Putin is Satan, and the Russians are raping, but something just doesn’t smell right to me.
Yeah, yeah, I know, Putin certainly isn’t a good guy, but why all the propaganda efforts on behalf of Ukraine? Why not, you know, just tell the American people the unvarnished truth? Something just ain’t right.
According to the DOD on 18 April there are almost a dozen BTGs in Mariupol. As each BTG has about 200 infantry, then 11 x 200 gives us 2,200 infantry. (Christopher Lawrence, Dupuy Institute)
There is nothing inconsistent between at BTG having 700-900 soldiers and having about 200 infantry. A BTG has 2-4 infantry companies. The rest are armor, artillery, air defense, anti-tank, and support.
“why all the propaganda efforts on behalf of Ukraine? Why not, you know, just tell the American people the unvarnished truth? Something just ain’t right.

Very inconvenient truth told by a French national who has been on a humanitarian mission in Ukraine.
First-hand account of what’s happening on the ground. (Neo-Nazis, crimes against civilians and PoWs etc).

PUTIN STOOGE!!!
Just kidding. 😁
I’ve been seen as a “putin stooge” merely for suggesting we don’t really know what news we can trust from that. But as you pointed out, some of what we are hearing stinks to high heaven and yet, oddly, still doesn’t pass the smell test.😉
It does seem to be SOP to label anyone even suggesting that Russia might be “winning” this thing as a Putin lap dog, etc.
Not sure why “Larry” expects us to beleive any his claims absent some kind of corroborating evidence. Or at the minimum, stating the source of his information.
Hi.
As you know, In any war (and Larry Johnson knows this too), the first casualty is the truth.
Whatever kind of war (conflict between nations, government against the people etc), doesn’t matter. The “fog” of war is both purposefull and necessary.

I have no idea who is winning, don’t particularly care for Putin and get tired of the Ukrainiacs on this site. I believe they are paid, have multiple accounts, or are just liberal nutballs. But their continual screeching and screaming on behalf of the Biden regime is a real turn off, so I spend more time at other sites and try to get real information, rather than continually read globalist propaganda, “Pooty poot” and “Don’t invade an innocent country.” Ad nauseum.
The only reason US politicians are pouring money into Ukraine is to launder it back to themselves and their cronies. That why Pelosi and McConnell go there, to secure their piece of the pie.
All Zalenskyy has to do is agree to his percentage.
Amen exponentially to your thread Kazan
“But wardaddy you Putin cockholster I hate Russia so much and have since Sputnik…..that’s reason enough”
Paging Slim Pickens
40 billion for this clownshow? And who thinks even a large part of that is going to armament and munitions for the Ukrainian troops?
More likely Austin told the Russikes what thier kickback was going to be. “Keep the war going, but just for show. Some artillery barrages, and maybe a MiG flyover for the cameras. We’ll give you a piece of the action as long as we can keep this scam going until the election.”
"The Squad" in Congress, supposedly the vanguard of America's woke, progressive, pacifist Left, not only all voted for Biden's $33 billion cash shower for Ukraine, MIC and Fed.gov, they even promoted pushing it to the un-asked for figure of $40 billion.
Yes, indeed, something stinks to hell on NATO/deep-state/Ukraine
Cool beans.
So you can give us an update on the Russian assault on Kiev?
And how is the fight for Karkhiv going?
Better?!?
This fight will go on until the Democrats feel that all the incriminating evidence in Ukraine is gone.
I'd enjoy watching Shoigu jamming a banana cream pie in Le-Loyd's buffoon face.
Why did they lie about Covid?
Why did they lie about "the most secure election ever"?
What a stupid analysis.
