This Russian convoy seems to be getting longer and longer, NATO and Ukrainians must be wringing their hands:-​

64-km-long Russian convoy nearing Kyiv made up of 'armoured vehicles, tanks, towed artillery'

The length of the convoy was so large that it could not be entirely captured by the satellites. In some areas, the convoy was nearly two to three rows deep.

New Delhi: On the sixth day of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine Tuesday, a 64-km-long Russian convoy was assumed to be heading towards Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv. US-based satellite imagery company Maxar Technologies captured the images.
The length of the convoy was so large that it could not be entirely captured by the satellites. In some areas, the convoy was nearly two to three rows deep.



Further updates showed that the convoy had reached Antonov Airport, a cargo facility, located in the North-West suburbs of Kyiv. The image also showed houses burning along the route of the convoy.

Reports suggest that the convoy is made up of armoured vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and other vehicles.

Some reports also noted that the convoy’s origins can be traced to Belarus. The former Soviet state, which lies to the northwest of Kyiv, can be argued to be where the convoy took off from. All major routes in the northwest of Kyiv end in Belarus.

Russia placed multiple troops, military vehicles, and helicopters in Belarus prior to the invasion, under the pretext of joint exercises by the two countries. However, as the exercises ended, the troops, vehicles and helicopters stayed behind, according to reports.
Russia then built a pontoon bridge across the Pripyat River, crossing the Chernobyl exclusion zone, into Ukraine from Belarus. The day invasions began, and further images depicted that Russia began moving troops and vehicles across that bridge into Ukraine.
Looking at the scale of troops, armoured vehicles, tanks and towed artillery, as part of the convoy and the route which it is following — Belarus’s acquiescence or clandestine support could look implicit.
However, there is still ambiguity whether the convoy is headed towards the centre of Kyiv or to assist and join Russian troops deployed elsewhere in Ukraine. The convoy, however, was judged to be 25-kilometre-long from Kyiv.
As talks between Russia and Ukraine stalled on the first day, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stating that there “can be fair negotiations if one side does not hit the other side with rocket artillery at the time of negotiations”, stakes could rest on the fate of this Russian convoy and where it goes from here.

‘Pro-Russian’ hacking group hits back at Anonymous​

Hackers Killnet claim responsibility for the attack that knocked out Anonymous’ and Zelensky’s website


A group of purportedly pro-Russian hackers calling themselves Killnet has taken down a website associated with the Anonymous hacking collective, a site belonging to the far-right Ukrainian militia group Right Sector, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s own website.

Users who attempted to access anonymoushackers.net on Tuesday were unable to do so, receiving a 500 internal server error, and the site appeared to still be down as of Wednesday. Zelensky’s website and that of far-right group Pravy Sektor (Right Sector) were also reportedly rendered inaccessible, though the militia’s site appears to have been restored as of Wednesday.

A video posted to YouTube by Killnet addresses “Russian people,” featuring a hooded, voice-distorted figure declaring, “We welcome you from a nation of a friendly union.” Explaining that the internet is full of fake news, the voice urges the viewer not to be led astray, and to “under no circumstances doubt your country.”

The hackers blame Zelensky for the war in Ukraine, arguing that he “adopted the wrong policies” and is now “paying with the lives of his people for that.” US President Joe Biden was dismissed as a short-termer who “doesn’t want to die, may he rest in peace,” while his EU counterparts were merely “American prostitutes who can do nothing.”
“Soon this conflict will be over and peace will be ours,” the hackers reassured their Russian viewers, snarking that Anonymous had “better restore your website,” which “looks pathetic after the threats you voiced against our nation.”

Little information regarding Killnet is readily available, and it is not clear whether the hacking group existed before Tuesday’s action.
Anonymous had previously conducted a series of distributed denial of service attacks on RT, Sputnik, and other Russian state-funded media, as well as on government and business websites. They also took credit for doxxing members of the Russian military.

A Twitter account claiming to speak for the group, @YourAnonOne, announced on Thursday that the hacker collective had “officially” declared cyber-war on the Russian government, while another account, @YourAnonTV, claimed to have hacked Russian state TV channels to broadcast “the truth about what happens in Ukraine,” presenting a series of disjointed, context-free clips of bombed-out buildings and injured people.

Anonymous began as a relatively apolitical “hacktivist” collective infiltrating and doxxing groups from the Church of Scientology to dark-net child **** rings to US-based private intelligence corporations such as Stratfor and HBGary. It later took on a more political bent, participating in the Arab Spring uprisings, digitally intervening on the side of the US in the wars in Libya and Syria, and joining in anti-government campaigns in Iran.

The formerly anti-establishment hacker collective’s attacks on Russian media have mirrored those of major social media platforms, most of which have banned Russian state outlets from monetizing their content or even appearing in top searches. The EU announced over the weekend that it would ban all RT broadcasts, while Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have blocked access to both RT and Sputnik in Europe at the EU’s request. Microsoft has de-ranked Russian state outlets on its search engine Bing and ceased displaying their content on MSN.com, while Apple and Google have yanked RT’s app from their stores.




Ukrainians turning against each other?
Zelensky gave away free KKs to these kind of people.
One comment suggest that these may be deserters.

Multiple PDF members have shared pictures of Ukrainian civilians preparing Molotov cocktails to throw on Russians.
There's a video of such civilian group butchered [sorry for lack of a better word], cocktails still by their sides. Cannot share that video here.
So don't do that.

Bro if you have followed World events over the last many years....the mask has fallen off with this Ukraine war.

The levels of hypocrisy is disgusting at this point.

I mean I cringe every fookin time I see anything about Ukraine.

The world needs multi-polarity.

Not one in which the West is judge, jury and executioner.

The Russians will give the Kiev Nazis a week to surrender and they have already opened a southern road corridor for civilians to escape. If the Kiev racist Nazis don't surrender, it will be a mega Gronzy on the steppe.

The only saving grace with this is that Tyumen, Tyumen is 2,380Km from Kyiv, that is a 2 1/2 journey via rail but we all know rail networks are inoperable in Ukraine. Unless this video is far older, another interesting fact here is the fact the Russians would have these on open display and not in a Box Car or Tarp.

Perhaps "optics" or similar tactic to rattle the enemy.

Gentlemen, this is an invasion from Russian side even if you call it preemptive strikes, it still is an aggression. I have noticed that some posters are justifying it because either they believe that Ukrainians are racists or West has been a hypocrite. While this is true that both things are correct however civilians dying at the hands of forces didn't deserve it and just because West bombed civilians, it doesn't mean we should support Russian bombing as well.

Think from human perspective and not from East vs West perspective. Thousands have died and thousands will become disabled for life be it Russian or Ukrainians.

You can always point towards the hypocrisy of west or racism by White people without justifying war crimes by their opponents.

Very well said, there is no if or but about it. This is an aggressive act and sensible people would pray that sane minds come to the table and conclude this insanity before it escalates further.
