Another well known American volunteer soldier/"medic" has been injured in Bakhmut. Seems like things there are getting dire

It seems that the telegram Russians particularly hate this person for Very Online reasons.

e: Did we ever find out how the UA pays pensions or whatever? I'd be curious if the mercenaries are even covered. More to the point, who is going to pay the pensions and how much? If the wage for a Ukrainian soldier is like $300 /mo and 100% disability pays 90% of base rate of pay for life, as here, that's a lot less than minimum wage.

I also sustained an injury to my hand, which accounted for 2 of my surgeries, plus physio, cortisone injections. I think it was about a year recovery, give or take, needing a brace for about 8 months. All together, I think I was rated around 10% disabled for that wound. Payout from HRH was about $10k CAD.

I can't really see what happened here, but if it's comparable, I don't think the Ukrainian piggy bank is going to cover that. Do they offer paid leave? Do they pay you to convalesce even if you return to your home country? What about paying for health care if you're an American?

It's not even oriented correctly from the embassy's perspective. It's positioned to be right side up from the side that it will be photographed from, so to the Russians it just looks like an upside down Ukrainian flag. Though considering that is the sign for a country in distress, it is more appropriate than perhaps they realize.

They get to drag more countries into the war. If you want a good lol, google which side Ukrainian ultras fought for in the Romanian/Transnistria conflict. These are people who later went on to be part of the Right Sector.

Transnistria has got its own militia and reserves, Ukraine would have to open a new front even if the Moldavian military tried to join in.

Ukraine wants that massive 22000 ton soviet ammo dump. NATO has basically came out and said they have nothing left to give Ukraine and China might start providing weapons to Russia.

I don't think China will actually do it. However, it seems like they are understandably getting pissed at NATO and the States.

Berkhivka is now in Russian hands. Yahidne is the next objective.



The report I posted about the Russian Army capturing Marinka awhile was either incorrect or I misunderstood it. As Ryber's maps and reports show the battle is still deadlocked at the center of the town.

Instead of continuing the grinding fight, the Russian Army has turned southwest and pushed into Podjeda in an outflanking attempt.
