Thousands of Western-trained elite Afghan commandos were abandoned by the U.S. & Western allies when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban last year

Now, many are jobless and hopeless and stuck waiting for resettlement abroad, making them easy targets for Russian recruiters

It was only yesterday when I was laughing how Pro-Russian channels fabricate counteroffensive such as the one at Terny. Today, Wargonzo panics that Ukrainians are about to storm Kreminna and Zhytlivka. Russians are moving all remaining forces to hold this line. You don't say... https://twitter.com/Tendar/status/1585291268908802050

Latest Ukrainian artillery footage from #Soledar shows Russian forces advanced some 800 meters since my latest frontline geolocation in August & now control ca. 60% of the eastern part of the (geographically) divided city. 0% of the larger and more urban western part.

I might get some flak for this but I refuse to Believe any word said in captivity, Having gone though the same thing on the other side. There's just no Way of knowing for sure if this is his words or not. I'm not implying that Ukrainian captivity is bad.. ⬇️ https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1585729341991710720

I'm highlighting the fact it's important to remember that people will say whatever (myself included) necessary if they feel they might face reprisals once the journalists leave.

With that said Russian state TV actually released a video of some Exchanged prisoners who said the Ukrainians treated them well in captivity, I really would be intreasted to go do some filming looking at how we Treat POW's once I return.

BREAKING: Senior Russian military leaders recently had conversations to discuss when & how Russia might use a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, causing heightened concern in Washington and allied capitals, senior US officials - NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/02/us/politics/russia-ukraine-nuclear-weapons.html

The conversations alarmed the Biden administration because they showed how frustrated Russia had become over its battlefield setbacks in Ukraine - NYT

Svatove-Siversk
The AFU repulsed attacks in the direction of Makiivka, Nevske, Bilogorivka, Verkhnokamyanske and Spirne.
Shelling reported in Ploshchanka again.

Bakhmut
The Blyat Brothers attacked in the area of Bakhmut and Mayorsk. They had no success today (surprise).
It seems they are focusing less on this portion of the front line at the moment.

Donetsk
This is the hot spot of the front line right now. This area is low prioritized by the AFU due to ongoing offensives in other areas.
I believe the AFU still holds on to Pavlivka
RuAF attacked in the area of Pervomaiske, Novomykhailivka, Vodyane, Pavlivka and Prechistivka
