The unprecedented assault entered its fourth day Friday with Moscow rushing reinforcements and bombing its own territory to try to contain the Ukrainian advance.
A convoy of burnt-out military trucks, some bearing the “Z” symbol of the Kremlin’s war and appearing to contain bodies, sits along the side of a highway.
The video, circulating on social media Friday and geolocated by NBC News, doesn’t show a beleaguered section of the front lines in eastern Ukraine. It is a village in Kursk, across the border in southern Russia.
For days now Vladimir Putin’s forces have struggled to put down an incursion into Russian territory by Ukrainian troops, after a surprise attack that threatened to upend the war’s status quo and open a new front in a daring challenge to the Kremlin.
It sucks to have your country invaded, doesn’t it?
They should concede Kursk oblast in the name of peace
TBH I think this is why Ukraine has dont this. It makes all the “freeze the conflict in its current state” calls mean that Russia would have to give up territory too, which would infuriate the ultra-nationalists in Russia and possibly destabalise Putin’s rule.
I hear they had a vote and 140% of the people wanted to join Ukraine 😉
That’s called “karma”

Literally every news site is left center according to them, is it a bug with the bot or is the site really that useless?
Edit yea is a bug, literally every site also has high credibility and factual reporting according to them (or maybe not? Not every site does apparently, Idk what the heck is up with the site lol maybe it is just useless)
No, it’s really that useless. The site is American-biased, so any neutral source is at least center-left by its metrics. And the guy running the site has an Israeli Zionist bias too.
Like Stephen Colbert used to say on his show, “reality has a well-known liberal bias”.
Completely. Calling NBC news center left is a real head scratcher, that bot is apparently living in an alternative facts reality.
MBFC is pretty clear with how they rank “Bias” and I’d say they’re bang on with NBC news. They’re also pretty clear with how they rank factuality and again I’d say they have it correct with NBC News.
It’s also pretty clear that many Lemmings struggle with the concept that bias and factuality are different things. NBC has a slight left bias but is still factual. They rank Fox News as having an “extreme” Right Bias and they rank them “mixed” factuality.
You just never see that because no one on Lemmy uses Fox as a source and if they try their post goes nowhere.
bang on with NBC news
As in “left wing” in the USA so “centre right” in normal countries?
MBFC is very clear that they are evaluating from an American Centrist perspective. If it bothers you that much just ignore the “bias” part, the factual part is still very useful…unless you inhabit a world of alternate facts.
American Centrist
You mean hard right in normal countries?
