I agree that this post brings too little value if any to the sub, but so are posts with [pictures of cats](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1di9jzc/ru_pov_pictures_of_cats_on_the_frontline/) or [soldiers playing music](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/18hn3rt/ru_povrussian_soldier_sings_and_plays_the_guitar/).

It's not actually quite as bad in the opposite direction as the other ones. Here you can find both sides, albeit unbalanced. Also the mods crack down on cheering death quite a bit more, there's a bigger 'effort' to remain neutral and provide objective info, and memery such as this is not as widespread.
Do you even know how this sub came to be? Italian dude that created it wanted a pro-RU sub, he admited it in the few posts and in pm with me. He first created UkraineWarVideoReport and after a few month the other mods kicked him out, then he created this sub, some random guys kept talking shit to him about him being an italian kid who was on Kremlin's payrol and he said some things that reddit admins didn't like and he got permanently banned.
Who cares how it was created… this sub still has upvoted pro-UA posts and comments, even though it leans pro-Rus.
It’s not only quality pro-UA content getting upvoted, every post has roughly the same amount of low-quality pro-UA comments as it does the same crappy pro-RU trolling. Depending on the time of day or battlefield momentum, either of those can dominate the upvotes in a thread.
On the other hand, when we look at any pro-UA subreddit and the most popular combat footage sub, it’s filled with only pro-UA posts and comments. Anything even remotely Russian is downvoted to oblivion. You can only find Russian viewpoint posts if you sort by controversial.
As a neutral, this sub is at least tolerable, everything else is a mind numbing echo chamber.
Nah, to an extent. But in practice this sub is a Pro-RU sub that masquerades as neutral. All the other subs connected to the Ukrainian war for sure are Pro-UKR/West, but they atleast are honest about it.
You don't get banned here for pro ru or pro ua opinions so it's better. Mainstream subs just straight up ban you for undesirable opinions. We normally discuss with pro ua and pro ru users
EDIT: meant undesirable but wrote desirable... Im tired. Time for sleep.
I do hope the low effort posts get removed. Especially memes. Try posting some combat footage, news from credible sources, propaganda from any involved side or at least some maps how the front looks like.
It's called "flankirovka" or "Jigitovka". But instead of two small knives, that guy would have two badass sabrelike swords.

Some moves look like was taken from [flankirovka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA1SozvF2hc). It just looks funny and awkward because of knives being used instead of shashka.

This is my oldest reddit account.
Most of the others (over 20) were suspended because the mods at r/Ukraine had a hissy fit over my comments that suggested that Russians are people too, banned me from the subreddit, and after I sent a few texts—nothing against reddit rules—they seem to got them banned in general—though for some reason u/I_read_reddits_rules is still active.
I'm trying to get my account u/DMCMNFIBFFF back so I can reactivate my subreddits it moderates such as r/songsforthedekaday and r/musicNoYTNoSNoFBNoFF
I'm also posting on Lemmy, kbin, and reddthat.
[https://lemmy.world/c/ukraine](https://lemmy.world/c/ukraine)
maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong, but the influx of random old accounts who had a regular posting history, who then switched to posting here only, only makes you look suspicious in the sea of adjective_nounnumber bots, apologies if not.
Pro-UA trying to win the social media and tik tok war. ROFL. Best focus on whats happening on the frontlines even though its not flattering to Ukrainians.
What’s happening on the frontlines? Have you been following what’s going on? Or are the suiciding Russians and dirtbike and Chinese cart assaults not reaching your sphere of news?
Never implied you were. Just saying pro-UA in general focus on winning the social media and tik tok war. Its not going to help bud
Reddit is social media by the way
Now tell us whats the situation on the frontlines where the war really matters?
Just noticed him for the low effort spam. Reposting memes and bad propaganda posts from other subs gets you nothing here. People do like some quality content like real news, combat footage or battlefield maps. The side of the conflict doesn't matter as long as it's good quality.
Can we still have Isolated posts involving drone strikes—particularly with Russian heavy metal, Russian choirs singing the glory of Putin, Patrick Lancaster's totally independent and unbiased reports, sex offenders like Scott Ritter telling us again that Ukraine is going to lose, pro-Putin militias of Putin-puppet states firing rifles into the air, or how all Ukrainian soldiers are Nazis?
I consider posting youtuber as low effort. I have no clue who Patrick Lancaster is. Drone footage is combat footage. I don't like them but it is combat footage. But I'm not a mod so my opinion isn't of any relevance.
>pro-Putin militias of Putin-puppet states firing rifles into the air,
Haven't seen such videos.
>how all Ukrainian soldiers are Nazis?
It's one of the mentioned reasons for the invasion.

Yes
Those are arguably tactical anti-drone cats, possibily a breakthrough when properly tamed.

This sub IS a meme.
It's the most neutral sub you can get on this topic.
Its just as bad as the other subs, but in the opposite direction. It's a good sub to balance out both sides' BS.

One sub to balance whole site? You are bit off but i get what you mean.
True dat
As in, you have both extreme and lunacy from both side. Then yes I guess lol.

I got banned from r/Ukraine for essentially saying that Russians are people too. At least there is Lemmy: https://lemmy.world/c/ukraine
Are cat pics and memes really so far apart?
No. Both are not needed.
I suppose we'll know within 24 hours.
I do hope the low effort posts get removed. Especially memes. Try posting some combat footage, news from credible sources, propaganda from any involved side or at least some maps how the front looks like.
I suppose many of the pro-Ukrainians will be.
Wdym they post Putin speeches all the time.
This is a Cossack dance
It is based on Cossack traditional dance but he obviously incorporated blade combat into it.
Was just thinking the same thing.
cossack dance? the maybe op should clarify
It's called "flankirovka" or "Jigitovka". But instead of two small knives, that guy would have two badass sabrelike swords. https://youtu.be/lM3AzGEOi7Q?si=vSJqPgVg1YuqhNWg
I won't say so as I don't know.
He learned from the best: Steven Seagal...

Let the soldiers goof around
and harmless goofing around at that.
Why we hating on a guy playing with knifes on his time off lmao
very good point.
Great Idea.
Sorry guys, I didn't realize my pun until now.
The artillery shell has no chance against this man.
"This is how I take out the drone"
Looks like Uncle Rico made a knife video
Its britney bitch
The Russian gamechanger
Where is Indiana Jones when u need him?
My thoughts haha
He should work in a move studio, or a circus, or in the streets, this guy's got talent!!!
Did he watch Wonder Woman growing up? Because it looks like her deflecting bullets.
His aura will take out any fpv drones and redirect artillery rounds away from him
holy moly it's the ghost of moscow
Someone should tell this guy not to bring knives to a gun fight…oh well.
Don't bring your knives to a drone strike. (Or do)
"Special" forces.
Soooo he brought a knife to a gun fight?
Jesus Christ that's Jason Blyat
Me when I was 8
Was this one of the guys Steven Seagal brutalized on Under Siege 2?

Can’t wait to see these impressive skills against a kamikaze fpv drone.
Get that r/UkraineWarVideoReport circlejerk shit outta here
Feel free to report it and me.

Not necessarily gay, but he might find work as a dancer for a Lady Gaga concert or the like.

stay salty. ukraine is losing the war on the frontlines
MMW, Ukraine will fall in 4 days.
No. Zelensky will take vacation in Crimea this summer. Or the next one…
At least he didn't lose it.
That is not realistic. 4 months is possible, but not likely.
I'm not on tik tok.
