It’s an ongoing comitment, and this is part of a normal rotation.
Started as a battle group and since last fall (northern h), Canada leads a brigade composed of many nations forces.
The sad part is that most of our delpoyable equipment is committed to support that deployment. Units back home are a bit depleted. Also, painfully obvious, we could not deply an independent brigade group with enough tanks, artillery, Anti-armour, Air-defense, EW, and engr equipment - not to mention the sustainment part.

While the agreement does not include concrete military assistance or binding security commitments, it highlights a “strategic alignment” and American “support for Ukraine’s security,” indicating a deepening commercial partnership. As Trump previously stated, American companies operating rare earth development projects in Ukraine would effectively embed U.S. interests on the ground. He implied that the presence of these companies would deter Russia from targeting such sites, offering a kind of de facto security guarantee.-----
Yea well, they hit the Boeing Factory - Any deterrence???

Trump: “Putin speaks to me, he doesn’t speak to anybody else, because he was very insulted when he got thrown out of the G8. He was thrown out by Trudeau, who convinced one or two people, along with Obama … he doesn’t even speak to the people who threw him out. And I agree with him.”

Trump leaves G7 early, I guess it bored him or everyone treated him like the fool he is.

He definitely needs to be isolated from other world leaders in order to deal with what’s happening in the middle east. In his gold bathroom with a hamberder. Bullshit Barbie with a good line there. Donny just doesn’t want to do any actual work.

2/ The 15th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade is based in the Samara region, but recruits from across Russia. Personnel from at least 77 regions have been listed as missing or dead, with the largest number being from the Volga Federal District and the Astrakhan region.
3/ At least 12,689 soldiers from the 15th Brigade have been listed as missing or killed in social media posts. At least 7,436 were killed, and another 5,253 are reported to be missing. This contrasts with a normal peacetime establishment of around 2,000 personnel.
4/ Researchers report that of the 12,689 dead and missing, 89% are privates and sergeants: 6,860 of the 7,436 killed, 4,432 of the 5,253 missing. Less than 1% are officers, comprising 92 killed and 47 missing. (Most of these are likely junior officers.)
5/ The 15th Brigade has been involved in many of the bloodiest battles of the last two years, including at Avdiivka and in the Pokrovsk area. Its mentions on social media peaked in August 2024, during a Russian offensive against Pokrovsk.
6/ Sources highlight three particularly bloody episodes:
October 2023: Avdiivka and Novobakhmutivka: – at least 2,128 killed
October 2024: Mykhailivka - at least 152 people died in one day
Late 2024 - early 2025: Novotroitske – at least 6,791 killed, 1,245 missing
7/ A soldier called Vladimir Zaitsev spoke about the brigade’s losses in a May 2024 video. “No one from our company survived. Everyone died … My first day, February 29th, I arrived here. We immediately went to the front line, where I spent three days.”
8/ "I got ■■■■■■ up by a blast wave from a mortar. I also got a concussion. And the boys were all lost. There is no one alive.
9/ "If I’m sent [to the front line], then my chances are 50/50 [for survival], because we are sent simply for meat. No-one returns alive, no-one is left. Those who are in the unit are [temporarily alive], and the rest are among the 200s [dead].
10/ “Someone is running away to the 500s [deserting], I would run away myself, but I can’t, because they will ‘zero’ me, that is, they will shoot me.”
11/ According to the independent Russian news outlet Verstka, the brigade is mentioned in social media more often than any other Russian unit. Researchers found more than 2,000 posts from relatives, appealing to find the missing and complaining about various abuses.
12/ Relatives of the missing have published several petitions appealing to Vladimir Putin to investigate the “unknown disappearance” of their men, complaining that the missing were not being searched for and were listed illegally as deserters. They say that torture is routine.
13/ Videos from the brigade corroborate this. In this one, officers abuse a soldier whose face and body have been painted, cigarette butts are put out on his skin, and hair tis orn from his chest. It appears he is accused of theft. One of the officers says, “I’m the only thief”.
14/ Another video shows soldiers being buried up to his neck in a so-called ‘tight pit’. According to relatives, the brigade command secretly buries those who have been executed or tortured to death and declares them to be missing in action or deserters.
15/ Being declared a deserter means that their families do not receive compensation payments for their deaths. In addition, brigade members reportedly loot personal property such as phones, jewelry, money and bank cards from the dead, which complicates their identification.
16/ According to a relative, one of the brigade’s officers “takes everything from the dead there, resells everything. He walks around covered in gold … And, accordingly, shares it with the commanders.” The officers are said to demand bribes not to send men into assaults.
17/ Another soldier says that the brigade’s officers demand bribes to allow soldiers to go on leave or get injury certificates, and threaten the men with violence if they report their corruption. He says that one of the soldiers was so fed up that he shot an officer and fled.
18/ "My brother and his platoon interfered with this commander, his subordinates, that is, well, those at headquarters, making money on all sorts of certificates, on all sorts of vacations, injuries…
19/ "That’s why they were warned, if you stick your nose where it doesn’t belong, it will be bad.
They sent my brother’s platoon to catch the [fugitive]. They caught him. So they brought him to headquarters, handed him over to headquarters.
20/ “At headquarters – I don’t know whether the officers were drunk or not, I can’t confirm that – this guy was beaten to death.”
To cover up the murder, the officers pinned the killing on his brother, the platoon commander.
21/ They forced his men to give false testimony implicating him. “The man is now sitting in a pretrial detention centre for something he didn’t do, and those who are involved in corruption and all sorts of schemes continue to make money.”
22/ In an April 2025 video appeal for help, soldiers from the brigade say that "on the third floor [of the headquarters], beatings are taking place, we hear cries for help, wailing cries, but all this remains within these walls…
23/ "We are subjected to violence, torture, humiliation, insults … they don’t let us appeal, they don’t let us pass the military-medical commission,…
24/ …they just immediately put us on board and send us behind the tape [to the front line], where we won’t even be able to say anything, and even if we do say anything, there won’t be any point."
25/ Wounded 15th Brigade soldiers say that they are being sent straight back into battle, many of them on crutches. In a June 2024 video addressed to Vladimir Putin, wounded soldiers with broken limbs and shrapnel injuries say they are being denied treatment.
26/ “Well, military unit 90600 does not allow [treatment] to be done and sends us on a combat mission. I ask you to take action and help us, since this is a one-way ticket, because with our health we will not even be able to take up arms.”
27/ The brigade is still suffering heavy losses. In only the first four months of 2025, according to Verstka, there were more than 1,700 burials of members of the 15th Brigade – equivalent to 85% of its entire authorised personnel.
28/ The 15th Brigade’s huge and continuing losses very likely reflect the brutal ‘meat assault’ tactics used by its commanders. From being the Russian army’s only specialised peacekeeping unit before the war, it’s now known as one of the army’s most “meaty” units. /end
