“Fighting takes place in places where the military leadership gives false information to the fighters, and therefore skirmishes take place. Where the soldiers of the National Guard and the police meet us, they wave their hands, joyful and many of them say, “We want to go with you”. Already 670 people who joined us, at least they have gone a little way.”

      Why is the update on a mega and not just streamable links etc?

        It’s my own personal backup. I’m downloading the videos/pics/articles as they’re posted (and for as long as I stay awake).

        Streamable deletes videos after an amount of time. And there’s no telling what could happen in between. I prefer to save things like this to my local HDD just in case, and I’m sharing it in an easily-downloadable way, because I think this stuff is incredibly historically significant, and it’s 0day shit.

        I’m also a data hoarder.

          Oh, where are you downloading it from? And do you do a web.archive.org archive too so the source is also archived and verified in the future with the content you’re also backing up

            I haven’t been doing a wayback archive, but I’ll start.

            For videos, I’m using the “cococut” extension. I’m sure there are others.

            To back up the webpage articles as a single HTML file, I use the Save Page WE extension.

                No lemmy community. I share my music on SoulSeek though. If you have it or install it, search for the user Voyager1.

            Nah it’s definitely not whataboutism, but I don’t care enough to argue the subject.

      Thanks for not relying on major streaming services and social networks keeping up videos of possibly historic relevance!

    Correction on the translation.

    Hes not saying 670 people already joined, but 60-70. And hes saying “i think half the army is ready to join us” in the end.

    Pretty curious how will this play out, any deal to calm things down for the moment will just be temporary and he will get fucked badly in the end, and im pretty sure he knows that. Also very interesting timing, the Ukraine counter-offensive doesnt seem to have any results so far and this happens, which implies foreign buyout of Prigozhin, even if not true thats what the rest of the gang will be certain of. So there is no going back for Prigozhin, its all or nothing for him now.

    Edit:

    Unless its a diversion tactic to start an offensive or bait Ukraine to attack, similar to what happened with Bakhmut. Prigozhin was complaining that they dont give them ammo and escalating tensions saying he will pull back, asking for Shoigus head… And then few days later they go back and take Bakhmut.

      Apparently Prigozhin has gone rogue, but nobody really knows what’s happening and people are speculating wildly. We’ll probably have to wait a few days to see what actually happened.

      Leader of the Wagner group, who have been pretty involved in Russia’s offensive on Ukraine, said this morning that Russia had engaged a rocket strike on some of their rear camps resulting in casualties. Now he is supposedly marching on the southern Russian military HQ and picking up Russian soldiers along the way. Russia considers this an act of war.
