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.

    Literally every news site is left center according to them

    Lemmy has a real, by U.S. standards, left tilt so the majority of the articles posted are going to use sources that fit that. Additionally anything posted from the few right wingers that Lemmy does have aren’t going to get much traction and you will likely never see them.

    You’re asking if the site is “useless” but failing to ask the more important question of “Why is all of my information coming from places that have the same perspective?”

    MBFC is discreetly showing how much of an echo chamber Lemmy can be.

      Yes we have a real left tilt, we’re complaining because right wing sources are being listed as left.

        MBFC is clear that they are evaluating from an American Centrist perspective. Ignore the “bias” rating and just look at the factual rating.
