Turkey finaly retrieved two A400 stuck on Kiev Airport since February 24th. Wonder what kind of a deal was reached to enable the repatriation , also that two NATO planes parked on tarmac for months avoided becoming practice targets for Shaheds
Two A400Ms (b/n 17-0080 and 18-0093) arrived at Kyiv Boryspil International Airport (KBP/UKBB) after midnight on February 24, 2022. According to the Turkish Defense Minister, they were delivering humanitarian supplies and were supposed to repatriate Turkish citizens. Since then, for almost 10 months, the planes have been in Boryspil, and the crews have been in the Turkish embassy.
The Turkish side for a long time unsuccessfully contacted both Moscow and Kyiv on the issue of providing a corridor and evacuating two military transport aircraft.

You quoted fake news from Russian-sponsored fake news portal, well known here in Poland.

Those days, the only difference between the "fake" news and the "genuine" news published by some source is whether you like it or not
The twitter files case is a good example, as well as the entire modern media system.

While it is true that the term fake news is abused the "report" about a mass exodus of Poles simply is not true. You could also call it an outright lie.
The neigbouring countries and the ones mentioned in the article did no register any fluctuation in the number of border crossings.
BTW it would not help to go to another EU country or NATO country to try and evade the draft. There are extradition treaties in place. So any country just would have to put all draft dogers onto the wanted list and they would be returned pretty quickly.

Some fancy new gear from Lobaev going to the front , but one has to ask what kind of ammo its going to be feed , precision rifles are only as good as their ammo even more of a problem if these are .308 win

I was under the impression that there are quite a few .308 rifles in UA?

Patch on the rucksack is Russian so not a captured A-545 ,was posted days ago as case of A-545 being used by some Russian troops.
Problem with .308 for sniper use is that its meant to use heavier 172grain bullets vs infanty and MG ammo that is 150ish grain
