Time for a photo op with Putin and a big "Миссия выполнена" banner in the background.

Is Pravda a good informative source? This website says they have mixed factuality.

That being said, Russian government can eat my ass. They are so fucking delusional, I can feel their society is closer to collapse and hopefully their leadership all die slow painful deaths.

My understanding, and I am nothing like an expert in Russian media so salt to taste, is that Pravda is at least government affiliated, so they have a checkered history with respect to the truth but can be assumed to accurately report what it is that the government wants to project.

racer983,

Totally reasonable concern, fuck Russia but Pravda does have a bit of a vested interest in their reporting to say the least. In this case they're just actually reporting what was said on a Russian propaganda outlet. Disclaimer, I know zero Russian, but a Google translate of the Russian propaganda news networks seems to confirm that Pravda is being factual and this is what Russia is saying.

Very good news ! if that trend goes on it will be such a relief !
Like you wrote, here the Ukrainian Pravda refers to the original which is an official Russian source : TASS original in Russian

Does someone here read Russian so to confirm 🙏 ?

Man I know these types of sentences are for their brainwashed population, but it's so delusional

And by "demilitarise." Do they mean they demilitarised themselves in Ukraine?

GunnarRunnar,

In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with.

What a strange definition for demilitarization lol.

It's so strange how they think they are demilitarising Ukraine when in reality they are actually demilitarising themselves

DeathWearsANecktie,

If they really believe that then they should fuck off out of Ukraine. But they don't really believe it.

Lexam,

"In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with."

So they've used up the old soviet weapons and now using modern western weapons.

As for supplying weapons. America is happy to. We are trying to give away tanks like they are kittens!

drmoose,

They could argue is that they want to protect their IP or something. If that gives them a "win" so they leave then mission accomplished I say!

FanciestPants,

And can we stop giving tanks to that tank-lady that lives in the apartment down the hall? She barely takes care of the ones she has.

Meaning of "giving thanks" : giving words of gratitude
... or did i woooosh ?

FanciestPants,

Lol, sorry. I was joking on the notion of giving tanks away like kittens, and how there might be a tank-lady similar to the stereotype of a cat-lady that has way too many cats.

A_A,
@A_A@lemmy.world avatar

👍 okay now I get it 😆
and I was confusing thanks for tanks

ElectronSoup,

America doesn't 'give away' weapons, Ukraine will pay for them eventually, just like Israel, SK, Taiwan, and the rest always do.

Worth watching this for a couple minutes to get a better idea of how aid is being provided to Ukraine.

Well, is this the beginning of “we have achieve the goals, bye”? Hope…

Vikthor,

For all I care they can even hang a large "Mission Accomplished" banner from their aircraft carrier heavy aircraft cruiser scrap-heap Kuznetsov.

wazoobonkerbrain,

My guess is that they will declare the operation a success and end further advances, but without ceding the territory that they have won so far.

It's not super clear to me how that works out. Ukraine has been pretty stable on, "All taken territory including Crimea back," so do we move to a world where Belgorod Bob assures the people that myths of Ukrainian advance are totally false daily?

cassetti,

I can see the "Задание выполнено" banners now

I'm sorry but that's really really far from reality. What do they understand as demilitarization?

A_A,
@A_A@lemmy.world avatar

if I read that correctly and if it is true it would mean that ...
the Kremlin is seeking an excuse to get the fuck out of Ukraine without losing face in front of their own population.

Yeah, when you see totally barmy stuff like this from Russian media it's usually not particularly intended to convince people like you, it's meant for internal consumption.
