Hooting and hollering is the common reaction for everyone experiencing this war through posts and TikTok videos.

There's no reason to not do that until a military commissar or some some cop is dragging you off, or artillery shells start to constantly fall on your head.

As silly as NAFO can be, it's a very effective psy-ops and counter-propaganda weapon that has seriously reduced Russia's ability to get narratives established on social media, which was their main method for soft influence in the west. I would go so far as to say that NAFO keeping Russian disinformation suppressed has had a major hand in the ongoing continuing support from the West, given that it has a gigantic population of brain poisoned boomers who believe everything they read online and are prime targets for Russian social media influence

People asking when the "spring offensive" will start.. alot of observers have been questioning whether it would even make sense for Russia to have a spring offensive at all. It seems the current pace of fighting suits Russia just fine, and Bakhmut continues to be a complete disaster for the Ukrainian army (and they just keep on pouring more resources into trying to salvage that situation).

many people are saying this!

Arguably, the game changed a lot when Ukraine defended Kyiv and didn't get encircled in the JFO. The game might still suck, but the game changed relative to Russia's goals of a quick capitulation.

unless it was true that they were going to murder every AFU and their families, this wasn't really a good thing

Ukraine's GUR has published a documentary that focuses on combat operations in the Black Sea.

In particular, there was published more complete footage from Snake Island, filmed on May 7, 2022 on helmet-mounted cameras of the members of the 10th detachment of GUR, and Center for Special Operations "A" of SBU, who participated in the landing on the island that day, and fought with our guys.

The landing was supported by boats and TB-2 Bayraktar drones, as well as Mi-8 fire from which the landing took place.

It was no game of one-size-fits-all, a battle that went on for several hours. It was far from a one-way game, except that the Ukrainian special forces met fierce resistance, as even the enemy itself says, saying that the defenders of the island took heavy fire, constantly moving and changing positions. In addition, the opponent suffered losses in killed and wounded (hello to those dalboys who have no brains, but have "understanding" and write that "the battle on the island is a fake from the Defense Ministry"). As you can see in one of the videos, the opponents are dragging their 300th, which may have already become a 200th. At the end of the battle on the island were left lying and three representatives of the GUR, which for some reason were not taken when leaving the Snake.

Having failed to achieve their aim of capturing Snake Island, the Ukrainian special forces withdrew, only to "victoriously" return to an already empty island 1.5 months later, which became a "goodwill gesture" from an unclear source.

Despite the way things turned out in the end, the guys who held the island proved to be real fighters and fought back, in fact, the most combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Special Forces in direct fire contact. For them, as well as for us, it was a small but personal victory, which makes us proud of our Black Sea comrades.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

There's more footage from Ukraine's special forces landing and fighting at Snake Island. Basically Ukraine did try and seize Snake Island only to be repelled by the garrison. Those javelin and other disposable launcher tubes were brought by them and not as theorized by nafo brought by Russia to make up a fake landing.
