Russia’s 98th paratroopers’ brigade moving to Mariupol
Zahar Lavrentiev, one of ‘Azov’ volunteer battalion servicemen, wrote in Facebook Aug. 25 that Russia’s 98th brigade of paratroopers is deploying to Mariupol.
“Putin has started the open war. The 98th brigade is marching toward Mariupol now.
We’ve taken two paratroopers prisoners. They were sure they are on a military exercise.

Yes, I’ve read it. Let’s wait for something official. If the article is true the explanation is pretty childish and we won’t be able to claim we’re uninvolved in the Ukrainian affaires.
Yes, you’re free to spread anti-American pro-Putin propaganda. But this site is not dedicated to those values. American conservatism is not synonymous with rebuilding the Soviet empire under Putin’s chauvinistic rule.
And the training and planning for 911 happened in Afghanistan, remember Osama?
How Russia runs it’s courts is Russia’s business. How Ukraine runs it’s are Ukraine’s. No matter how you rationalize it Russia has invaded a neighbor that DID NOTHING TO RUSSIA.
“The USA is a hostile country to Russia.”
Russia earned whatever hostility it gets from anyone.
“The NATO is a hostile military alliance, led by a hostile country.”
NATO isn’t hostile, but if it is to anyone, that anyone earned it.
“The English-speaking countries and the EU are the US puppets.”
Oh, how I wish that were the case.
“Why do any of them deserve a bit of trust?”
Because they’ve earned it compared to Russia.
How Russia runs it’s courts is Russia’s business.
You asked me a question. I have answered it.
How Ukraine runs it’s are Ukraine’s. No matter how you rationalize it Russia has invaded a neighbor that DID NOTHING TO RUSSIA.
It's not enough for a state to be left alone in the modern world. A state must nothing wrong to stay intact. The USA invaded Afghanistan and Iraq without an UN sanction, and they are fuelling Syrian rebellion. The pretexts have been given that those governments were bad guys. So the reason is ok. A rule must apply equally to anyone - if the USA are allowed to do certian things, then other states are allowed as well. It's a basic principle of a democracy. I've given you the reason what Ukraine did wrong.
Next up will be Russia whining and crying its neighbors are hostile and don’t trust them.
Dyraku
wow what great reporting AP....”convoys” ??? how many tanks etc?
Maybe Russia would rather avoid war with Kiev, but is not ready to give up its strategic interests.
You make a strong case for why all the nations of the world should invade Russia and kill Russians worldwide, congratulations!
In the end Ukraine will win it’s independence from Russia and soviet control, the questions are how many people including women and children will die by Russian invaders and terrorists before then, and what will be Ukraine’s borders and Russia’s illegal borders be in end?
Oh btw.....piss on Russia, Putin and you Russkie!
If Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is so righteous as you claim why are the Russian invaders removing all Russian identification from their uniforms? If they are not Russian military then they should be shot on sight or hung as spies.
Putin wants land bridge to Crimea.
So apply for the job of a Minuteman III operator. But you seem to fail the entrance checks with such ideas.
