Of course they do but the propaganda is what I am more concerned about.

RT workers resigning below due to propaganda and Russia invasion of Ukraine.

From 2014 to present. I guess they are tired of Putin's bullshit and meddling.

Gladly BBC is regulated via OFCOM.

You've got it in one. Next the mods on he here will promote North Korea articles.

Although most likers are bots here, the Putin brown nosers here that do exist are so no obbsessed with hating the West that they will make a pact with the devil.

Does the British government fund the BBC ?


Yes or No

No. Not in the direct way that RT is funded. Do some research.

Next question. Is BBC independent from the government? Yes.

Is RT? NO.

Azovstal heroes. Amazing they held this long and killed countless Russians with barebone supplies. The drone videos of their counter-attacks are out there.

Shoodboi:
Lol, Ukraine is massing one million soldiers to join the 600,000 currently fighting 150,000 Russian soldiers ?

And those soldiers are not even the 1st class Russian army. The majority are the B-team of the B-team of the Russian army, armed with older weapons and equipment. And not even all of them are "soldiers" per se.

Many are from the Russian National Guard (think of it as the equivalent of our Civil Defence over here) and yet, Ukraine needs 1.6 million soldiers to defeat them?

Just yesterday, the Azovs in Mariupol surrendered to the Chechens (who are part of the Russian National Guard). You should have read the hilarious comments on BBC's YouTube after the BBC reported the news, saying the Azovs were "evacuated". Evacuated by Russians into Russia?

Victory on social media is still victory. At least, Ukraine still owns Crimea and Mariupol on Google Maps.

Can I have some of what you're smoking?

Any remnants of Russia's "elite" were annhilated at Hostomel airport.

Don't you get it? This is on primetime RUSSIAN TV, this is the narrative the Russians are starting to push to gently let their people down over this complete disaster. You can give up this nonsense blind Putin brown-nosing. Time to stand down. It's the beginning of the end.

This may earmark a general change in the Russian narrative. Let's hope.

Surprised this underground swimming pool, that can be drained in 24 hours upon an emergency, wasn't included in this thread.

SIDE PIECE

I've been unable to post for days.

Nairaland bot dey block me.

Looking forward to the next instalment.

The other guests in the studio were silent. Even the host, Olga Skabeyeva, normally fierce and vocal in her defence of the Kremlin, appeared oddly subdued.

In many ways, it's a case of "I told you so" from Mr Khodarenok. Writing in Russia's Independent Military Review back in February, before Moscow attacked Ukraine, the defence analyst had criticised "enthusiastic hawks and hasty cuckoos" for claiming that Russia would easily win a war against Ukraine.

His conclusion back then: "An armed conflict with Ukraine is not in Russia's national interests."

Criticism in print is one thing. But on TV - to an audience of millions - that is another level completely. The Kremlin has gone out of its way to control the informational landscape here: shutting down independent Russian news sources and ensuring that television - the principal tool in Russia for shaping public opinion - is on message.

It is rare to hear such realistic analysis of events on Russian TV.

Rare. But not unique. In recent weeks, critical views have appeared on television here. In March, on another popular TV talk show, a Russian filmmaker told the presenter: "The war in Ukraine paints a frightening picture, it has a very oppressive influence on our society."

So what happened on 60 Minutes? Was this a spontaneous, unprompted and unexpected wake-up call on Ukraine that slipped through the net?

Or was it a pre-planned burst of reality in order to prepare the Russian public for negative news on the progress of the "special military operation"?

It's difficult to say. But as they say on the telly, stay tuned to Russian TV for further signals.

Referring to Ukrainian soldiers, he noted: "The desire to defend their motherland very much exists. Ultimate victory on the battlefield is determined by the high morale of troops who are spilling blood for the ideas they are ready to fight for.

"The biggest problem with [Russia's] military and political situation," he continued, "is that we are in total political isolation and the whole world is against us, even if we don't want to admit it. We need to resolve this situation.

"The situation cannot be considered normal when against us, there is a coalition of 42 countries and when our resources, military-political and military-technical, are limited."

Russia's mainstream media outlets offer a view of the Ukraine war that is unlike anything seen from outside of the country. For a start, they don't even call it a war. But our Russia editor reflects on a rare exchange broadcast on state TV.

It was an extraordinary piece of television.

The programme was 60 Minutes, the flagship twice-daily talk show on Russian state TV: studio discussion that promotes the Kremlin line on absolutely everything, including on President Putin's so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine.

The Kremlin still maintains that the Russian offensive is going according to plan.

But on Monday night, studio guest Mikhail Khodarenok, a military analyst and retired colonel, painted a very different picture.

He warned that "the situation [for Russia] will clearly get worse" as Ukraine receives additional military assistance from the West and that "the Ukrainian army can arm a million people".

Foolish Putin, shot himself in both feet.

WhAt yOu NeEd To KnOw AbOuT rUsSiA

This is a haven for Putin-brown nosers.

Sickening - as these blood thirsty murderers commit mass atrocities in a foreign land, a mod here deems this BS thread FP worthy.

Pathetic.

As a child in Nigeria, and with one of his sons.

Dalil8:
Before you blame the Russians, take a look at Ukraine's Aidar Regiment hiding in a kindergarten.

Now tell me why there won't be civilian casualties when Russia decides to shell this kindergarten.

WTF is this justification of little Putler's stupid war of aggression that has already cost 20,000 + deaths of Russian soldiers not to mention countless innocents.

This cat was rescued from near Kyiv after a Russian strike. This cat represents there Ukrainian people. They are seriously ready to f*** fed up the little dictator after what he has done to their country. He has already lost. Time for him to get out of where he doesn't belong.

Apartment building in Kiev Oblast destroyed by Russians. Cat is ready to get his revenge.

A tiny cat was carried to safety after she survived alone for over a month on the seventh floor of a wrecked Kyiv apartment building.

The fearsome feline was finally rescued after a team of animal retrievers found out about her plight and attended the scene in Borodyanka, a war-ravaged suburb of the capital.

Food is always prepared in country of departing flight. So this is food prepared in Ghana. What is so amazing about that?

The quality of food is always best flying out of Europe or middle East.

A sequel is needed.

Anyone remember the video where Kadyrov pretended to be on the front line but was actually in a Chechen petrol station? the man is a fraudulent coward.

Slava Ukraina.

The Russian orcs are completely out of their depth. No willpower, poorly trained army of conscripts that deluded folk on here hero worship.

Bloodthirsty Russians have no idea what they got themselves into.

The net tightens.

AbujaBlue:
That is a fine summary

Formula 1 driver incoming.

sweetkev:
Thou shall not kill doesn't apply to war. In war, you either kill or get killed by the enemies. There have always been war since the creation of this beautiful planet and it will never stop until the end of the world, that is if the world will even end.

Didn't Putin tell you, this is a a special military operation, not a war.

He had a ride. Nothing lasts forever.

anonymous1759:
Why’s Syria there ? Russia that went to liberate Syria from the clutches of the evil west and you call That invasion.
I guess that picture is also invasion in your eyes.

You realize that picture just proves the Putin dictator point? Mnangagwa was behind thousands of deaths in Matabeland. It's sad that you are pinning hero status on Putin on account of these archaic photos. It totally ignores what he is doing now. An illegal invasion

As for Syria, Putin used the same war crime tactics in Aleppo as he did in Mariupol and Grozny - total destruction. Let's forget the human lives for a second. Here is what he did to the historic city of Aleppo. This is not something to celebrate.

Aleppo before
Aleppo after

anonymous1759:
Your slave masters have killed millions. Putin must be a saint.

Classic whataboutery. You can't hide from it.

All the sychophants on here fawning over a mad man with the blood of thousands on his hand and his hand alone. He'll get what's coming to him.

The net is closing on the rabid dictator.
