with equipment liberated from the Russians at the front, meaning tanks, self propelled and towed artillery, anti aircraft setups, APCs and ammunition. It's also a large force, three organizations under one commander. It looks like they're there to stay.

People have been advised to leave the area.

The force is not only the Freedom for Russia and Russian Volunteer Corps from brief incursions last year, they;ve been joined by the Siiberian Battalion and a large group from Chechnya.

A lot more Russians than we know of seem to have fought for Ukraine over the last 2 years and fulfilled their one year contracts. That's basically who these guys are.

How far will they get and what will Putin use to try to stop them? I have no idea. Will RosGardiya join them? Will Putin nuke his own country in a desperate attempt to stop this and save his own skin (it won't work)?

I hate living in such interesting times. I would imagine most Russians do, too.
