Now they can instead celebrate **Ukraine's Great Patriotic War** against fascist imperialism. If they aren't dead, that is.

TotalSpaceNut

In occupied Donetsk, a restaurant reportedly hosting a group of pro-Russian individuals that were preparing a rally for the 'anniversary of the People's Republic' were hit by HIMARS. There are several dead and wounded, local media report. Source: https://twitter.com/NOELreports/status/1789247292400087439


Listelmacher

Looks like "Paradise" was hit. A site with the name Prestupnosti.net, news.pn mentions: https://news-pn.translate.goog/ru/RussiaInvadedUkraine/308797?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp a restaurant with the name "Paradise" in the Leninski district of Donetsk that was hit. According to Tripadvisor the address is Leninski prospect 89: https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=47.94755&lon=37.77464#map=17/47.94715/37.77726 A three story building is north of the restaurant area. This can be seen in the video. The next building in north direction on the map is a gas station. I just wanted to see what else could happened there, because the HIMARS attack could also be a Russian fairy tale and information from the occupied Donetsk are hard to verify. The video shows an explosion and you can hear objects (rubble from the building) landing on the tin roof east from the building. At least I can't tell from where the missile came from. There were some stories like this before: the restaurant Adriatic in Lyichansk (missile came from east), the explosion on the market in Textilshchik, Donetsk (IMHO fake) and the birthday party of ex-Roskosmos Rogozin in the outskirts of Donetsk (shell entered from south or southwest).


rlnrlnrln

> Paradise Yeah, I think they're meant for the other place.


Listelmacher

Who knows. It is the so called DPR, a region from where news are very strictly "controlled" by the Russians. And if Denis Pushilin says something (he did according to ura ru) then many people will be cautious. Therefore, even a false flag operation by the Russians is possible. One photo of the "attack" on the market in Textilshchik in Donetsk showed something like a "Grad" missile that stuck almost vertically in the sidewalk. If I imagine the ballistic curve it must have reached the stratosphere before ... There are other objects nearby that could have been re-used by the Russian army. Interestingly more in the south is: "Galaxy (Epicenter until 2014) Destroyed in the Russian-Ukrainian war" However who could go for a party to a restaurant in Donetsk? The civil population should be quite poor due to the industry that is destroyed or moved to Russia. So it is probably the Russian army. Recently there was an article in Fontanka (from St. Petersburg) that a lot of women providing "special services" flocked from the capital regions in Russia to Donetsk and Luhansk, because there the customers from the Russian army have a lot of spare money.


rlnrlnrln

I meant it as instead of going to "paradise", they're headed to the opposite place.


Talosian_cagecleaner

Welcome to Deadwood


PineappleRimjob

They'll end up paving Paradise, and then put up a parking lot.

Listelmacher

Well, the big yellow taxi is everywhere. Similar is in a song from the German band "Element of Crime" and I have seen a place with very old trees that was converted in a parking lot in Leipzig.


EukaryotePride

[Looks like this photo is almost exactly where the video was taken from.](https://www.google.com/maps/@47.9461117,37.776945,3a,65y,261.83h,94.28t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipMl1hapi6tyzDQRGH32V8d-bHeJHwI_Vl4zXGeu!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMl1hapi6tyzDQRGH32V8d-bHeJHwI_Vl4zXGeu%3Dw900-h600-k-no-pi-4.282428369093651-ya261.8340917779964-ro2.600006103515625-fo90!7i7200!8i3600?coh=205410&entry=ttu)


Listelmacher

Yes, if you look west you can see the the three story building with characteristic roof with the dormers(?). The shed on the parking lot still had an intact roof on the photo and the tin roof (I was thinking of a bus station or so) is a rain protection for the way from the parking lot to the shopping center more east.


EukaryotePride

I think the sticker on the car window in the lower left is supposed to be russia bending over the USA (& grabbing a titty), so that guy was probably at the restaurant.


agwaragh

Bit of irony given what just happened there.


Siserith

Explosions look a hell of a lot more more like 150mm artillery or something internal than himars tbh.

And a coffee house with a sign "Mimino" for sale. This is also over the entrance more south, where the restaurant should be.

Happy birthday to you! Here, let me light the candles!


Connect-Speaker

You can see the Russian flags being waved near the van in the parking lot. Definitely an event of some kind. What’s that reddish-orange flag?


redditor0918273645

The person who tipped off Ukraine was probably with the group and had all of their ideas laughed at and rejected.


zaphrous

I would also be unsurprised if they regularly took pictures that were geolocated to that location. Or one was catfished and asked to meet them at a party where they could also meet their friends.


amitym

I mean that literally could be true -- for a while the People's Front of Donetsk or whatever had a lot of people in it who wanted some kind of negotiated reintegration with the rest of Ukraine. Of course since then most of those have been shot, or forced to flee, or both. Strangely, their new Russian friends really did not want the Donetsk People's Front to actually make its own decisions, who would have expected that? But there still could be a few left who haven't been neutralized, or who have realized what a shitshow they got themselves into, and want it to be over.


DrMeowsburg

My Ukrainian coworker is from Donetsk, and based on what he says I know they have a lot of cool people there so every time something happens it makes me sad that Russia shit all over everything


GarlicThread

The price of treason.


xxplosiv

Good work. And holy crap this looks like an action movie


Uninvalidated

Got some serious Cloverfield vibes


miarsk

It reminds me of the war of the worlds with Tom Cruise. You know, the scenes where he runs a lot and everything behind him explodes. Edit: like this one for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK2jMgRsQKg&t=1m52s


Mephisteemo

...every Tom Cruise movie ever?


quartzguy

Considering what was happening the camera work was pretty good.


Particular-Welcome-1

Ya, I was going to say: Steady cam, and great framing on the girl running. Seems strange that they would have that setup to frame the explosion in the background.


atlasraven

Looks like something out of the Civil War movie.

falcobird14

Russians seized a lot of private properties and homes in the occupied territories.


TeamRedundancyTeam

Only kinda? Lot of absolute sociopaths in here don't seem to feel bad at all and are even joking about any innocent Ukrainians killed in this strike. It's pretty disgusting how people act on these war subs. Just finding entertainment in innocent people being killed whole they sit on their toilet or lie on their couch, then laughing and insulting them as if they chose to die. It's sickening.


Striking-Kiwi-9470

As much as I enjoy seeing Russian military stuff get blown up, this is a good reason to not bomb civilian events even if they are full of dirty traitors. It's also hard to take the moral high ground over the Russians whenever they fire bombs and drones at Ukrainian civilians when Ukraine does the same thing.


TILTNSTACK

I don’t think there’s an iota of difficulty for Ukraine taking the moral high ground. Bad take. Ukraine well and truly owns the moral high ground. Bucha. Mariupol We won’t forget.


oviewan

They hosted them. I don’t.


Funkkx

Not necessarily voluntarily


INITMalcanis

These are not people with a lot of power or agency.


Piupaut

This video was published by WarGonzo? He is one of the most famous Russian propagandists and everything he posts should be taken with a massive grain of salt. To me the video looks weird and the alleged strike has not been confirmed by Ukrainians AFAIK. I would wait for further confirmation before sharing such videos but that is just my opinion.


Tcobli

Yeah it is strange considering he's known to advance the Russian narrative by posting fake and staged information, most notably in the spring and summer 2022. YouTube's banned him shortly after then as well. Dunno why this post is still up


reeeelllaaaayyy823

I agree. The aftermath Paradise footage also seemed off. Only two "casualties" and they looked posed with not much destruction around.


Tishers

Keep on running; All the way back to Orc-land in Ruzzia!

Don't call it HIMARS if you have zero evidence that it is HIMARS.

vladko44

Apparently, there was a minor disturbance in the kitchen...


Blakut

i doubt they'd use a himars for that


homonomo5

Something tells me it was not himars at all. Like 3 min after the strike all russian channels exploded with "Himars killed 30 children" bla bla.


Human_Link8738

That was one hell of a secondary explosion!


balls_haver

Lmao there's no way ukraine would use a Himars like that


lojafan

Eat shit fuckers! Hard to celebrate your shit country with an ATACMS up your ass!


Anleme

Marschall_Bluecher

Doesn’t look like a HIMARS strike?


SecondaryWombat

Yeah I am very suspicious. Target is not legit military, explosion looks wrong, managing to film fully in frame while in a flat backwards sprint.


Punished_Prigo

the top floor of that building exploded like it was struck. this looks like a strike to me. I dont think we have observed russia conducting a false flag video this complex before. They usually barely try and spend no money on their false flag propaganda content. The woman was clearly mic'd, and the camera man had some kind of stabilization. Probably propagandists filming a segment at this pro-russian rally when it was hit. idk if war gonzo could run so well himself with his fucked up foot lol. So maybe propaganda, to what end i dont know. I dont see who this would be targeted at. I guess at russians if it was faked, but it is a convincing fake either way. I think this is probably real footage of an intentional strike.

Xenomemphate

Was it even a Ukrainian strike? WarGonzo is a pretty big Russian propagandist no? We only see the aftermath of an explosion. I wont be taking his word on the matter as gospel. Have Ukrainian sources confirmed the strike?


RoboticMask

Yeah, I also didn't see that they were in any way a military target. Just because they have a bad political opinion shouldn't incur the death penalty. I think this is the first time where I would really have to criticise an ukrainian strike. Don't get me wrong, I am obviously 100% on Ukraine's side and the Russians do way worse stuff, but still I think it's odd to celebrate it.


SecondaryWombat

The celebration of it, and the fact that it happened, make me suspect Russia. Like attacks on their own market place. Preparing a rally to say "yay Russia" is not a military target. It makes them bad people, but not worth a HIMARS shot that could be put to better use, and Ukraine knows this.


TequilaFarmer

Yeah, I'm not generally comfortable with that. If it was a concentration of high value targets, I'm less concerned. It is better to use limited ordinance on military targets and infrastructure.


moisesg

Crazy when people were denouncing Russia for attacking civilian targets, people are now celebrating this, this is sad.


AssHaberdasher

War never changes, I guess.


EndPsychological890

A restaurant? With a HIMARS?? Honestly would be surprised if there isn't some pushback tbh


great_escape_fleur

Because it's a false flag.


luc1kjke

How was that filmed? Guy running backwards and filming? Honestly I would call BS on this. This girl is running too good to not be a russian internal propaganda.


kuda-stonk

A lot of things don't line up on this, but a trained dude with a camera might actually be circumstance. More is needed before we can really compare info.


matches_

it looks to me these people were filming some event gathering related with the propaganda


gupdawg121

ianlasco

Looks like one of those found footage movies it even has a shaky cam effect.


CNTMODS

Now shoot some of those Himars into Moskow


BlueInfinity2021

Looks fake to me. There's a Russian flag that's very prominent near the start to let the audience know it's an attack on Russia (or land they claim is Russian) and near the end the man in the black shirt isn't running like someone running for life would be. It's like some actors that look completely fake on video because they're overthinking it.
