When Russian troops fled the Ukrainian town of Balakliia in September, they left behind thousands of documents that detail the inner workings of the Russian war machine.
In September 2022, Russian forces fled the Ukrainian town of Balakliia.
But they left their traces everywhere.
One of them is this abandoned building, which the Russians used as a military base during their occupation of Balakliia.
It was here that Reuters discovered thousands of documents revealing the inner workings of the Russian military.
Inside, posters reading “do not smoke, do not litter,” “if we leave, they will come.”
Notebooks and loose papers showing coordinates of Russian intelligence units, records of calls from commanders, details of battles, names of men killed, equipment destroyed.
And accounts of a breakdown in morale and discipline.
In all, Reuters reviewed more than a thousand pages of documents.
They shed new light on events leading up to one of President Vladimir Putin’s most stinging battlefield defeats: Russia’s chaotic retreat from Ukraine’s northeast in September.

3:50 she said they took us right away to 2nd floor and even gestures with her hand. Translator for some reason translated it wrong
This has to be to be some kind of ploy no one could be this incompetent it us to be some Russian plan
Slava Ukraini!
What secrets?
Why the need to rape women? Why??? That has nothing to do with war. That is just a sick person mentally that needs to be disposed of. If an American military member did that and the command found out they would be court marshaled and locked up for years. That is sad.
2:28 THEY HAD WHAT?
VIva Eukrain AGAINST RUSSIAN
The Sun is acting sooooo corrupted… over and over again

Nuke Ukraine ASAP
I'm tired of my tax money being used to pay for Democrats being blackmailed
lol read the documents and there is nothing secret. banal personnel papers
everything coming out of militant western media is 100% propaganda these days . story after story. narrative after narrative. all contrived in the holy war against russia. pretty sick and demented really.
the Sun prepping up for their next zio false flag psyop. and laying the propaganda ground work. Only absolute monkeys believe this utter tripe.

They are the most undisciplined military I have ever seen. Who on the military in command doesn't know the burn/destroy protocols for information b/4 you exit a location?
They was either suppose to burn or take them papers with them but they left them papers there because they don't have respect for Putin nomore
🇺🇦
The Sun has done a fantastic job reporting on this war.
2:28 WHAT KIND OF ANTI TANK WEAPONS?
four what?
Unbelievable, there is too much one sided reports. It's intended to make the world believe Russia has lost several battles and is losing the war. Analytically, it is entirely not easy to believe given too many negative reports about one side. Like Russians taking to their heels in every battle.
However, one has to wait till the end of the war as to get the truth as to who is actually winning the war. Media heresy is not the practicalities of the war out there.
Misinformation stupidest Post 🤣😂🙅🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
