One thing that's clear here is how much of an absolute joke our media is though.

Tonight's CNN headlines



https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/20/politics/us-intel/index.html

You have to be braindead to trust these people about anything at this point. They've telegraphed this type of shit for like a month now. At what point do fact checkers start calling out this type of garbage?

This was reported by the press service of the Southern Military District.

Here is the full statement regarding the clashes near the border with the Russian Federation:

“The subdivision of the formation of the Southern Military District, together with the border detachment of the FSB of Russia, prevented the violation of the state border of Russia by a sabotage and reconnaissance group from the territory of Ukraine.

February 21, 2022 at about 6 am Moscow time in the area of the settlement. Mityakinskaya, Rostov region on the section of the state border of the Russian Federation with the Republic of Ukraine, the border detachment of the FSB of Russia discovered the penetration of a sabotage and reconnaissance group.

To detain the sabotage group, the FSB border detachment of Russia requested reinforcements from the unit of the formation of the Russian armed forces of the Southern Military District allocated for the operational cover of the state border.

During the clash for the emergency evacuation of the sabotage group from the territory of Ukraine through the state border with the Russian Federation, two infantry fighting vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered.

A unit of the Russian armed forces promptly arrived at the scene of the clash with fire from anti-tank weapons, and both infantry fighting vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed.

As a result of the clash, 5 violators of the border of the Russian Federation from the sabotage and reconnaissance group were destroyed.

There are no casualties among the servicemen of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the border troops of the FSB of Russia.

Apparently the cracked out whacko Ukrainians sent a saboteur group with a couple IFV's over the Russian border into Russian territory near Luhansk (accidently?)

Don't know what they were thinking, but it wasn't a smart move. 5 soldiers killed, 1 captured now in Russian custody, both their armored vehicles destroyed swiftly by anti-tank rockets.

What the hell were they thinking?

It's one thing to attack Donbass, but to cross the Russian border and attack a local border patrol unit?

Are they out of their frickin' minds?

You have zero proofs of this story, ofc not.

Haha - you know, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to accuse it of being fake news.

Good thing the Russian side took video of the aftermath of the battle. For your viewing pleasure:

There is more footage showing the clashes in action, but I don't really feel like going back to find it at the moment.

In other news, the Ukrainian side has blown up multiple carbombs in Donetsk and Luhansk in what are clear attempts to assassinate local leaders using such terrorist acts:

Oh, but I'm sure it's fake news too :rofl:

Using Twitter as source news for a 2022 war is auto-fail & self-humiliation.
False flag, infiltration, using fanatics, actors, etc...

So the armored vehicles in those videos blew themselves up on their own. Right.

Fact is, this is modern warfare. We don't have mainstream journalists on the ground covering every little thing. Instead you have individual soldiers recording battles with their gopro kits, and grainy footage from a handful of independent journalists brave enough to sit on the front line with the soldiers.

The unfortunate reality is that combat footage hits twitter, other social media and it hits specialized forums before it hits anywhere else, mainly on accounts that are dedicated to following these conflicts and have contact with actual fighters on the ground.

I will admit it is a strange state of affairs, but it's all we have to work with and it's better than nothing. What are you gonna do, get all your Ukraine coverage from Washington Post and Vice news? Haha, good luck with that. Sorry but the truth is that a rando twitter source showing actual footage of what happened is a better source than those retards.

Good. It's about time the Ukrainians got a taste of their own medicine - though there's still time left for them to wise up and decide not to attack Donbass. I wouldn't hold my breath.
