PP I though he was related to Hoo Flung Dung
Bit of a generalisation about short people - Ronnie Corbett was all right.
That video mentioned in the report I have seen and it’s been geolocated.
It’s a very tatty flag but if it’s genuinely today (Ukrainian forces have been “at the gates” for days then it’s good news: There is a conspicuously relaxed about the flag planters.
It remains to be seen what the remaining Russians will do. Many had already fled
“Relaxed air”
Lyman is liberated :-)
Ukraine AF advanced from liberated Lyman into Luhansk region and have entered Kremmina there …
Kreminna not Kremmina (!)

I’m not sure what to make of General SVR: he sounds convincing but on the other hand he never predicts anything: it’s always stuff you could make up later.
The bit in that the post that precedes the pain incident allegedly reveals the latest Kremlin strategy: reinforce and defend the entire front line. The nuclear option is one advanced by Putin: an ultimatum to Kyiv to withdraw from the “new Russian territory” or there would be tactical nuclear strikes. Nothing in other words we couldn’t imagine anyway.
Who knows
ichi; Given a short time to live (if true) & facing complete failure & humiliation (true) he might just be crazy enough to give the order, but whether it would be carried out or not is another matter.

I would favour a response of "technical problems" from the military.

If you have lived under Communism ichi you might know what I mean; my wife & I once travelled by train across former East Germany & Hungary in the Communist era, an announcement was made that due to technical problems they regretted that restaurant car would not be in use during this journey. My wife got on well with a guard who had family in her home town of Hamburg, she asked him what were the 'technical problems', he whispered to her "The main one is, they forgot to attach the restaurant car in Leipzig!"
Not really important but seeing as you all brought it up.
I reckon, and I haven't looked it up, I'd be on pretty safe ground if I said puny Putin is taller than the stack-heeled Colossus of Kiev.
Ho ho ho, if I'm right there'll be a few red faces among our expert analysts. (and it will not be revealed on here)
If I'm wrong, shudder , it doesn't bear thinking about.
And I won't abide by any info from Ichi's sources where no doubt he'll be 6ft-13in to the underside of his halo.
Someone said the good general was a doctor in Kharkiv(!): as I say, who knows. I stopped reading his telegram posts on a daily basis as they are frankly rather dull :-) The “Medvedev attempted suicide” one was entertaining. Whether you believe it or not.
You’d think tho that the Kremlin would have figured out who the mole was by now. Presumably he isn’t, actually, an SVR general.
As for statures, FWIW Zelensky is indeed not very tall and Zaluzhny certainly isn’t.
Physically.
Give Zaluzhny the inches his military leadership qualities merits and he’d be a one man anti-missile system.
There’s a whole literature of Zaluzhny jokes doing the rounds: they’re a bit painful and predictable but reflect his reputation in a way the jokes about Putin hardly do.
Blimey, I haven't had my breakfast yet, Khandro.
Give us a warning before telling us horrific tales of such a graphic nature.
You should go around the Universities telling our budding Pol Pots what you've witnessed. That'll wipe the scowl off their faces.
I do wonder where the good folk of “Solidarity with anti-fascism in Ukraine” (SAFU not SNAFU) are these days.
Marching with Corbyn, Webbe, Abbott et al on the latest “Stop the West” march perhaps.
And what they’d say about 13 kids and a pregnant mother shot in cold blood in Kharkiv by the Russian branch of the anti fascist league protecting children from the excesses of the evil west. Perhaps better they should die then fall into the wrong hands.
It’s strange but for all Putin’s rhetoric about genocide in Donbas, there are no actual examples.
No invitations to the western press to visit and see what was going on. In fact the exact opposite.
I think we might be hearing about Kherson soon …
Putin's lift definitely doesn't go all the way to the top but I doubt he would ever use nukes. He'd be signing his own death warrant if he did.
“Putin's lift definitely doesn't go all the way to the top”

Doesn’t need to: he’s welcome to jump (or be pushed) from any lower floor window ;-)

Meanwhile: Kreminna about to be the new Lyman …

I couldn't resist peeking and remarkably;
Putin 5'7''
Zalensky 5'7''
Half an inch short of the average man.
I've ripped up the flounce form I filled in and,
generously, decided to call it a draw.
I do wish commentators remembered the appalling slaughter in The Balkans in the 1990s when they keep referring to 'since the Second World War' and Ukraine.
I reckon this could be over by the end of the year as indeed one military spokesman predicted months back.
The Russians are going to freeze to death …

The conflicts in the former Yugoslavia should not be overlooked. Sadly tho this is the “biggest” indeed since WWII, which is the comparison normally made, not the “first”.
200,000 very likely dead including Mariupol. When the true scale of that is revealed it will be a horror to compare even with WWII
