Says Pravda.com.ua. Shouldn't this fall under rule 1?
Tbh on second thought it probably should. I haven't seen any confirmation of any downed Su-34s, which you'd think Ukraine would be extremely eager to post.
Official Ukrainian claims always take a while, they don't want to give Russians real-time intel and they don't make exceptions for "well the Russians probably know already", too much organisational overhead everything is held back a couple of days.
Ukraine has been pretty eager to share any successes in this conflict, even perceived successes (e.g. the landing operation on Crimea). Images from that were released almost immediately.
They have a clean fact check record. Don't confuse the Ukrainian and Russian Pravda, the latter belongs to the KPRF aka Putin stooges.
...oh just noticed that's a lemmygrad account they won't see me. If some kind person not banned on lemmygrad would please relay that to the tankies.
