    There has been a marked pick up in coffins arriving back in Russia recently and it's put down to the mobilization of inexperienced recruits and looks only to get worse.
    This report extract is from The Guardian online.

    The first coffins are now returning to Russia from Ukraine, bringing the remains of ordinary Russians who at first were promised a quick “special military operation” and now have been drafted to go and fight in a war. Their deaths may mark another inflection point for Russia in this conflict, where mismanagement has led to Kremlin infighting and at least half a million men have been drafted or fled their homes to avoid it.

    The newly minted soldiers died within weeks of Vladimir Putin’s mobilisation announcement on 21 September. On Thursday, the Chelyabinsk region announced the deaths of five mobilised soldiers from a single military commissariat. Reports on Saturday said that another four had died from the Krasnoyarsk region alone. Family members of some men who died said they had been promised two months of training before they would be sent to the frontlines.
    According to BBC Russian, another 14 have died, even before reaching the front, of causes including suicide, heart attacks, in fights and other mysterious ailments.

    Very sad these young kids being killed due to a monstrous devil pursuing his own war! Might be different if it was his family!

    Looks like the next few weeks will be very interesting to say the least, maybe good news for Ukraine or maybe terrifying for Ukraine and the rest of us.
    Ukraine have committed 60-100k troops today on a new massive offensive today in Kherson.
    With their main supplies routes very limited and little way out 25-30K RF troops will face the choice to either surrender or huddle together on a few pontoon crossings whilst Ukrainian rain down precision ammunitions as they try to escape. Their top brass and lawmakers have already withdrawn in a hurry.
    Even the kremlin won’t be able to hide this catastrophe from their people for long.
    Rumour has it Leaders of the Chechens and Wanger groups, the Military and Putins cronies are all plotting with each other and against each other at the moment.
    Let’s hope they are all destroy each other and Russia implodes.

    "We gave a limited number of drones to Russia months before the Ukraine war," Mr Amirabdollahian told reporters after a meeting in Tehran.

    Previously, Iranian officials had denied arming Russia in its war on Ukraine.

    Big defeat for Russia as they are now been forced to withdraw from Kherson.

    Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu has ordered his troops to withdraw from the west bank of the Dnipro River in the face of Ukrainian attacks near the southern city of Kherson.
