second one supposedly in progress.
You can read the daily updates on the OSCE Special Monitoring Misson to Ukraine site.
Unfortunately I've been pretty much right on the situation in Ukraine and Russia for the past 8+ Years , Russia has a Playbook for situations like this and page by page they are doing exactly what was said they would
Actually it's amazing how several on here were celebrating putin as the victor here and yet here we are with his military shelling ukraine ,and it's the Russians running every aspect of the show in the separatists areas
It's funny how the very serious US spokesman in a good suit predicted an invasion to happen yesterday and nothing happened. The same "Intelligence" that promised Kabul was very safe a week or two before the Taliban took control.
And yet these people are taken as gospel when they describe Trump supporters as domestic terrorists and the like. It almost feels like there are no adults in power these days. What we have instead is some teenagers playing dress-up and making decisions without any real accountability.
I see very clearly whats happening Burgerface, but there's a big difference there, when other world powers hold drills. they are not accompanied by a list of demands that are effectually interfering with that Country's ( an independent state ) right to self determination.
As for the gang of pitchfork holders analogy, that's exactly what's happening in Ukraine, but its the Russians holding the pitchforks. They have been doing it since 2014, and the death toll is at 15'000. You need to stand back Burgerface, and re assess your perception of events.
And the recent drills held by the Russian Navy in the seas off the coast of Ireland are proof that Russia has the same rights as anyone else in international waters.
But you don't have the right to place a large military force on the border with your neighbor and issue demands. Even if its on your own territory and using drills as a pretext.
Russian media are running reports saying Ukraine has brought In marshall law and anyone who disagrees will be executed without any legal procussions ....
Jesus wept
Hs bio is pretty telling alright: "Crowdfunded journalist covering the Ukraine war in DPR"
A guy using the name Donetsk People's Republic doesn't sound particularly impartial.
How did you keep a straight face love
No and he repeats it in every video..
I bet he's on the RT payroll
Sky News seems intent on scaring the living daylights out of people with their bulletins; "We're right on the edge now" and the dramatic, horror film sound effects in the background. Pfff...
Is the situation in Ukraine a storm in a teacup?
I wanted to fly to Kiev, Ukraine for many months to get a tour of Chernobyl but I couldn't do that because of the pandemic. Now that the pandemic situation is easing, it's something I would like to do. I can get a weekend break for less than 500 euro - flights, accommodation, breakfasts, tour of Chernobyl. It's something I would love to do. Visit a place that is standing still in time.
Give Russia 1 a go....
Wait until the summer - things should be clearer by then, one way or the other.
He’s getting angry now 😂
Tut tut and here I thought you were an honorable poster, out to defend us all from name calling. Very disappointing.
Dont think you need to travel to Chernobyl to see a place standing still in time, Dublin City or Leitrim not do?
29 different attacks launched last night into this morning, heavy artillery, mortars and tank fire all coming from within the separatists areas
@Gatling where do you find that info?

According to he Irish Independent Biden is winning. What journalist would write that - this one did.
Maybe better you run over and count them all,to be sure in case you missed some
So if putin is winning why was it announced Ukraine are on the path to Nato membership considering he was assurances that said other wise and why is Putin's proxies shelling ukraine ..
Something suggests Putin isn't winning at all
I'd take your critique seriously if you didn't ignore the plethora of ad hominem posts directed at me...
Things are moving fast right now. US has provided its formal response to Russian security demands. Russia has responded by immediately expelling the US Deputy Ambassador in Moscow Bart Gorman. Putin due to address the Federal Assembly according to reports.
Safe to say putin might be in a bit of a rage right now.
This could get dangerous
NATO allowing Ukraine to join them would be a mistake, just too provocative to the Russians. It would prompt to invade before the membership was finalised.
Are you sure they weren't talking about Canada? ;)
I really can't see anything happening here. This is just political posturing by Putin to get consessions from the west. He wants a guarantee from NATO that Ukraine will not join them. NATO are not willing to give that promise.
