"*When Russian letters are written by hand, the lower case "т" looks like a western "m" and "и" looks like a western "u." ?
Not here, but in the text of your post for some reason it comes out as
*When Russian letters are written by hand, the lower case "m" looks like a western "m" and "u" looks like a western "u."
Funny. I've got no idea why that happens but wonder if its happening to many. It's very weird. I can cut and paste from your text into the comments here, which I just did, and it pastes in correctly, which it just did. But up in your text it reads as I said.
And wonder about the 'backwards s' meaning "г" really. did you want to put that in, too? For the sake of us poor monoglot westerners.
You have much detail. You are perhaps closer to the action than any other reporters. That's good. I'm always looking for more detailed understanding of what's happening. We don't really get it. We just get told everything is going fine, we're annihilating the khokhols and their army's about beat.
Yet I also read pleas for help from civilians from the front line because they don't have the equipment they need: https://t.me/rybar_in_english/20640
and the Kursk region gets much less coverage than any other and that's probably because progress is so slow there - and that's interesting because why is it slow? Reports say Kiev keeps sending in reinforcements. Well okay. But look: Kiev isn't supposed to have any reinforcements left. It isn't supposed to be able to properly man its front line. It isn't supposed to have any units left at full strength.
So question (1) where are these reinforcements coming from and how does it fit with the narrative we've been swallowing?
and questions (2) how do they get there? That's a 60 km drive across open country long ravaged by shot and shell to the front line say north of Malaya Loknya. All these supplies and reinforcements manage to make that journey day after day? Why? How?
and question (3) by what will do these men fight? Part of our narrative is that they are without leadership, training or desire to fight. This is clearly not true in Kursk.
So there's lots and lots of room for more reportage. We're not really getting a lot at all.
It perhaps doesn't seem fair to ask more of Khairullin as its already one of the best or even perhaps the best. But that's the way it goes. We always do that don't we? 'You're the best at it so maybe you can do this for us...' ?
If all these mines that the Russians are constantly evicting the UAF from weren't of particular value then the metal and mineral recovery alone from 'shells, missiles' various give them added value.
Wouldn't surprise me if those dastardly Ukrainians have been instructed to gather up these fragments for the US MIC as Russia has stopped/sanctioned delivery of rare earth-metals/minerals various to that terrorist organisation.

The detail is incredible. Fantastic work!!
