“...convoy of 56 tanks was blown to smithereens...”

Why does the Daily Mail print stuff like this when they have zero clue whether it is even true?

The tanks were carrying Chechen assassins? Because Russian tanks carry infantry?

The purple prose is to compensate for the lack of verified facts. Huge if true though...

Imagine what it would have been like if WWII was fought in the age of the internet.

Agreed.
These Ukraine-is-beating-the-odds stories are getting a bit much, unless General Tushaev's death is confirmed.
So far there is a lot of talk of Ukraine holding on without confirmation of anything.
The only good news is Russia is not saying "we won" yet, and that isn't much.

It’s bullsh!t propaganda from Ukrainian Defense Ministry.

And it will be repeated by every western news outlet before morning...with none of them knowing whether it’s true.

Western media prints what they are told to print. Just like everywhere else.
