Just on the matter of updates in general. Been back since about a month or close to it. No particular reason, some of the old guard was going back or was already in place, so I tagged along. Spent a couple of weeks near Donetsk, then back to the south parts near the sea.
It would seem to me as...
No "real problems". Leftists in Sweden (ie all politicians and media) used us as a propaganda tool to wipe over the "swedes" joining ISIS. Whenever someone tried to talk about that people would use us as whataboutism to say "but swedish nazis go to ukraine too", accusing us for warcrimes and...

Becoming a Mannerheim-Knight has never been easier. Do YOU have what it takes?
Not sure really. During the summer, smaller attacks were frequent here and there and later grinded to an almost complete ceasefire. During this time, the DNR & LNR were even talking about a possible reunification with Ukraine (see Vice, Russian Roulette). If there was any real will behind this...
True. I think at least two finns (or finnish residents at least) where there between 2014 and early 2015. How long they stayed and what they exactly did though, Im not sure of.
Haha yeah, I had a good laugh about them medals as well. Kind of like the "Thanks for trying", 1st Class.
Are there...
Well, as there has only been stationary warfare since mid february at best, and even that started to die out during the early-mid summer (though it has somewhat increased again, nothing to seriously though from what I hear), I wouldnt see any real point to go back there and faceplant an old...
Haha! Just noticed that one of said trolls that were quoted by sputnik had one further entry on the forum (his only other entry to be precise). In this entry from late 2014, he exposes the fact that the man is trying to cover up an ebola outbreak in Ukraine, that the neighbouring countries have...
Had completly forgotten about this thread. But on the other hand, havent really had much new to say anyway.
Yeah.. that became sort of a "that escalated quickly" moment right there...
Actually, that article was incredibly funny. Not only the part were they claim me and others were some sort...
The forwardmovement seems to have halted somewhat. My guess is, once again, they were testing the defences but took to many casualties for it to continue on its own.
I think, at the moment, Mariupol is not directly in their aim. Most of the activity is still around Donetsk and the road from...
The russians have been very keen on not sending any weapons in that arent part of the traditional Ukrainian army arsenal as well. There are though, exceptions to this rule, for example spotted and even knocked out BMP 97 armoured cars, AK74Ms and so forth. If Im not mistaken, the T-72BM3 which...
I remember the fields being somewhat tricky running over, as they were covered in copper-wire from them. One or two is one thing, but you quickly become tangeled in them.
