First of all, I am so bored with Cosmo Kramers schtick but I don't wanna say anything about it because. Anyway, sitcoms suck, moving on.

The only people I've seen being Pro-Putin are Trump, Republicans, and Fox News when this all kicked off. Well, other than Russians living in Russia because they'll be melted down.

same guy? (second video has dead russians in flames next to their APC)

https://twitter.com/antiputler_news/status/1513934908934266884

Yes he has a fairly popular Telegram account.

A Belarussian site (obviously on the opposition side) put out an interview with him just today.
https://nashaniva.com/?c=ar&i=288135

Google Translate posted:

You have definitely seen this Belarusian volunteer with a hussar moustache - videos with him have been spread on social networks many times. His call sign is "Yankee", real name is Igor. Before the war he worked in private security and practiced jiu-jitsu. "Nasha Niva" talked to the guy.

Igor from Minsk, graduated from college. He arrived in Ukraine in late September 2020, after the security forces became interested in them as participants of the Belarusian protests.

“From the very first days I was together with free Belarusians. I was hit by a light and noise grenade, my leg was injured. At first no one cared, then they started looking for people. That's how they came for me - they came to search my parents, and I don't live there at all, I was only registered. After that I left, ”the guy says.

In Minsk, he was a sales manager at an Apple store. In Ukraine last year he worked in private security. Igor is an athlete.

“At first he was a football player, but at the age of 15 he got an injury that was incompatible with this sport. Then he started martial arts, because he could not just sit at home, all little by little. When I moved to Kyiv, my best friend introduced me to a sport like jiu-jitsu, I liked it, started training and performing. Represented the club "Kiev Rocket", aka ATOS.

"Yankee" tells how he decided to go to war.

“Talks about the war were six months after I moved. Since then, I’ve started wondering whether to go to war or not. Within a year, this country became my second home, the Ukrainians put me in a difficult time. The enemy came to my second house, and I think I need to help my brothers.

As soon as the first bombing started at 5 am, half an hour later I was leaving the house with my things. I was easily accepted as a volunteer, because I got to my acquaintances, everyone knew me.

“I’m not a military man, I’ve never served, and I basically don’t like war. If someone thinks I enjoy it, then no. I want to live a normal life. "

In the videos that are on the Internet, the "Yankees" behave like hussars. Is this an image?

"All these videos came out spontaneously," the guy explains. - As for the mustache - I let them go a long time ago. Then he shaved, then let go again. "

The Belarusian faced the Russians at the front. "Dressed like homeless people," he describes the military.

“Ammunition and clothes were allegedly collected a hundred years ago. It seems to me that everything that was written off was put on them and they said: go to war. There are landing troops - they are dressed normally, they have new AKs, good machine guns. The landing troops are riding in the last armored personnel carriers, ” Igor shares his observations.

"Yankee" defended the airport in Borispol, liberated villages in the Kiev region.

“There can be nothing good at the front, I will tell you so. The most difficult thing in the service is to lose acquaintances and friends. I lost ten loved ones. "

Aren't you afraid of being taken prisoner and recognized?"

"I'm not going to surrender." I always have a grenade with me. And I'd better die free.

The fighter did not see the Belarusians who fought against Ukraine in person.

"But according to the information they gave me, the group" Alpha "was broken up near Gastomel. I don't know if it's true or not. "

What would you say to those officers who serve in the Belarusian army now?
"What can I tell them?" Better guys, don't come here, no matter who's order.

There's a picture of a part of the overall and shoes of a dead 2yo from the vicinity of Bucha, lying between trash. The whole family has been killed in a car near checkpoint, where the Zs shot a column of civilian cars with a heavy machinegun. Only the legs and the shoe are visible, which is why twitter didn't cover up the picture. If you scroll through the avalance of misery, there's a good chance that you'll see it today.

There's no blood, but it's one of the worst pictures out of this so far.

Ukraine: Keeping the Trains Running (25m)
At Lviv station, a convoy prepares to make its way to Kyiv. The driver in his cabin, is at the front of the train. In the other cars are volunteers and men going into battle. Without even picking up a gun, Evgeni, a train driver, is now on the de facto front line.

This time with some narration and subtitles, but it's mostly letting Ukrainians speak.
