Lies will kill us all: last line before Dnipro

War telegram roundup, 12.19-27.19. 'Slavery with a one-way ticket'.

Another week, another roundup of frontline news from Ukrainian military telegrams. On today’s menu:

• Our frontline Cossack Muchnoy Jugend releases a rap track

• The army’s problems

  • Corruption, meat assaults - ‘slavery with a one-way ticket’. Superior Russian training, even if it looks dumb

  • Ukrainian militarists envy Russia’s supposedly ‘Hitlerian’ talent

• The current situation around the frontline:

  • Kursk, Vovchansk, Terny, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, and Velyka Novosilka.

  • Ukrainian forces retreat to the last defense lines before Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, and the last remaining industrial giant along with frontline Zaporizhzhia (since Donetsk and Lugansk are long gone)

• Russian tactics

  • Less armor, more cars and buggies.

  • Why it isn’t worth laughing off Russians shooting at drones with guns

• Koreans?

  • I hate to even talk about this because there’s so little evidence and so much weird vibes, but I gathered some perspectives on it

To begin with, a welcome by ‘Muchnoy Jugend’, one of our ‘favorites’, who I wrote about last week:

Wishing you strong health, banditos! How's everything going, all in place? Time to get to work—every Russian scum will burn in hell!

🇺🇦 Glory to the Nation!

He also released a rap song called ‘keep safe’:

Here’s my translation. And while chatgpt helped me, as usual it was limited - it always refuses to translate ‘faggots’, the favorite term for Russian soldiers among Ukrainian soldiers. It gives me rubbish like ‘bastards’:

Muchnoy…. The warmth is gone, rain drags on slowly,
The city is cloaked in darkness, while it still breathes,
Rainclouds, there’s nowhere for it to go, everything is in shadows,
No one knows, the dreamy stars begin to shimmer.
The starry fields, raindrops of harvest,
Not just one autumn night, cold and sharp, striking,
Suddenly, the sky hums with tension,
The blue sky explodes, the heavens break,
The drone shatters the crystal blue,
From life to death, just a bloody moment,
And suddenly there’s silence, a voice echoes,
"Get up, fight for Ukraine, it’s ours,
It’s ours and unique, the enemy will be destroyed,
In the fields of Donbas, our army will give no chance
To the Russian pigs, no place to run,
The fields are mined, here they are covered by Grad rockets,
My soul is alive, my heart beats,
I’ll always stay with those who never surrender,
The thunder rolled in the sky, remember,
Those who are in heaven now, I assure everyone,
That broken will be the fear, proudly over the country,
I raise the flag, keep my brothers safe,
Don’t let them die in battle, don’t whine,
Lead to victory, strength of spirit and body,
Don’t lose hope, for the weak are not respected,
Even by the gods.
Save my brothers, don’t let them die in battle,
Don’t whine, lead to victory, strength of spirit and body,
Don’t lose it, for the weak are not respected,
A radio request flies for artillery, brothers,
Work on those russack pigs, armor next,
It’ll be up to the infantry, the cursed scum,
Choking on their own filth, approach closer,
Bitches, I’m not afraid of you,
I’ll stay loyal to those with whom I fight,
I pray for you all,
Save my brothers, don’t let them die in battle,
Don’t whine, lead to victory,
Strength of spirit and body - don’t lose it,
For the weak are not respected,
Save my brothers, don’t let them die in battle,
Don’t whine, lead to victory, strength of spirit and body,
Don’t lose it, for the weak are not respected,
Even by the gods.
