AFAIK they didn’t – instead they said they were an entertainment org instead of a news org.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russia preparing for major war and large-scale mobilization
14·3 years agoNot quite – to keep domestic discontent low, they’ve had conscription. Legally, conscripts aren’t allowed to be deployed outside Russia except in case of war. Mobilization means that they can forcibly draft people and seize things.
Important notes:
- There is no war, just a special military operation
- It’s possible that the declared annexation was to be able to send conscripts into southern and eastern Ukraine since they’d be “Russian” as far as Russian law is concerned
- Conscription could previously been dodged by paying a small fine, which many did. The government has noticed and has been steadily increasing the penalty.
- No chance like a war to nationalize your neighbor’s house

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Storm Shadow variant, the French SCALP-EG, punched holes in the bridges crossing the Chonhar Strait in the Kherson region.
6·3 years agoI’ve been wondering why bridge strikes tend to make tiny holes compared to when they hit buildings. Is it because they’re penetrating the surface and exploding under, or just that the bridges are much tougher by construction?

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•US still refuses to transfer ATACMS to Ukraine
11·3 years agoIMO it’s also about not looking like the boss of NATO – a lot of tankies in Europe like to complain that they’re just puppets.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•US sending controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine until other ammo is ready: KirbyEnglish
5·3 years ago3% is miniscule compared to the 40% reported for the Russian munitions. Given the quantity of DPICMs and their far lower dud rate, it’s basically just an accounting error at that point.
It’s also a false equivalence to compare DPICM vs no DPICM – the longer the war drags on, the more low-grade munitions will be used from deeper stockpiles which will inevitably have a substantially higher dud rate.
