| No sign of casualties after Russia claims revenge attack on Ukrainian soldiers |
| 2023-01-09 |
| [Reuters] A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk missed its targets and there were no obvious signs of casualties, a Reuters reporter said on Sunday, after Moscow claimed the strike killed 600 Ukrainian soldiers. A good indication of the losses Russian Army suffered in Makiivka. A Reuters team visited two college dormitories that Moscow said had been temporarily housing Ukrainian personnel and which it had targeted as revenge for a New Year's attack that killed scores of Russian soldiers and caused outcry in Russia. But neither dormitory in the eastern city of Kramatorsk appeared to have been directly hit or seriously damaged. There were no obvious signs that soldiers had been living there and no sign of bodies or traces of blood. The Ukrainian Army were all home on Christmas break. Swear. Serhiy Cherevatyi, a Ukrainian military spokesperson for the eastern region, described the claim of mass casualties as an attempt by the Russian defence ministry to show it had responded forcefully to Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian soldiers. Reuters visuals showed some of the windows broken at the College No.47 dormitory. There was a large crater in the courtyard. The windows of the nearby college had been smashed. Liar! Those were American Biolabs breeding super soldier bunnies and anti-Russian mosquitos. Wait until spring. You'll see. The College No.28 dormitory was entirely intact. A crater lay about 50 metres away from it closer to some garages. Some of the college's windows were smashed. Were the Russians aiming for the playground? Oleksandr Honcharenko, Kramatorsk's mayor, said the attack had damaged two educational facilities and eight apartment buildings and garages but that there had been no casualties. Except for the 600 Ukrainian super soldier bunnies. [PUBLISH.TWITTER]

| #10 Interesting Psyop: Kramatorsk. One Team is lying. Media is running with it. But there appears to be a crack on the ukrainian POV. A Kiwi and a Brit (Andrew Bagshaw and Christopher Parry) have both been reported missing. Last seen this weekend in Kramatotsk. It could very well be fog of war. Or they could be part of the causality count that is being denied. |

| #9 If official Russian statements say the sky is blue, I will go outside to verify. I trust them as much as I trust my government. |

| #8 Dale sounds like American MSM except from the Russian point of view. Can't believe either one of them. Yes, badanov is a rare and exceptionally valuable resource. |

| #6 Western media posts whatever they are told by Ukraine How fortunate we are here that badanov gives us translations directly from Russian reports as well as Ukrainian, Dale, without yielding to any outside pressure. So we can estimate for ourselves what is true. |

| #1 Western media posts whatever they are told by Ukraine with added flavor of doctored pictures and videos. "The Ukrainian Army were all home on Christmas break. Swear.". No verification. The news is getting out. Conventional western media is managed. Just send more money and equipment we are winning. |
