It was believed if they moved the women and children the Russian military could literally smash through the separatists areas ,but they are only taking those who hold Russian passports , another suggestion is they will be used a bargain chip to Shame Kiev into giving the separatists areas complete control,
It's a case of watch this space Russia is not doing this for the good of their own health ,
8 years ago they Russia claimed to have Taken in over 2million refugees who fled the Genocide of eastern Ukraine ,
Videos circulating of tanks on the streets of Donetsk
Seems to be some substantial heavy weapon firing taking place. Must be that artillery that was spotted moving earlier.
Looks like they have made 2 separate false flag attempts in the last 48 hours (at least what's reported) but Ukrainian military hasn't taken the bait despite losing 2 soldiers and several more injured. The proxy Russia is using is it's merry band of un-uniformed thugs in the eastern occupied provinces.
What exactly is going on with the evacuation of women and children and being moved into camps within Russia? A Russian pretence of some sort but what exactly?
Ah,this time he might, we'll give him a chance anyway.
He has been thoroughly exposed on here as putinbot and been checkmated many times about putin and how he is peddling misinformation and using deflection tactics, its why his mad now and attacking many users personally rather than the discussion.
Temperatures are a couple of degrees above freezing in the entire region at the moment.
where is the snow?
Grand, now you have said ( and many times in the past also ) that you don't support either Putin or his regime, could you extrapolate on that a bit? Just why do you not support him? Just along the same lines you don't support the US, Biden etc. What did he do, or is doing that you find offensive, or at least not worthy of support?
Lots of videos today from the border areas. Has all the appearances of being hours rather than days.
Former US ambassador to NATO last night said once this starts gthe world changes forever - he means in terms of the west having to get it's act together and seriously increase it's defensive capabilities in Europe.
Won't be a choice; Ukraine today, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia tomorrow...
Harry, try living in Russia, and make the same claims about the Russian intelligence services.... Thank your lucky stars you are living in a fair and free society Harry ( you will probably argue about the free and fair part now, ?? )
The old papers of the USSR were Pravda (truth) and Vestna (News).
The joke was that there was no Pravda in Pravda and no Vestna in Vestna.
Your posts are the judge of who you're pro or anti I'm afraid,not the outbursts when challenged
Harry, not once have I ever suggested that the Press here in this part of the World ( or indeed any other ) is 100% free or fair. But one thing I am certain of Harry, is that the Press in Russia is neither free or fair. Any of it. But for sure you can find reputable and honest reporting in this part of the World, and in the US.
You are like a Russian Cecil Rhodes.
Its great to see the lies of the pro russians and putin bots effort at deflection with "western imperialism" being brutally shut down on here with facts. They keep trying but they have been reduced to petty slights now and the efforts at misinformation is painfully obvious and exposed.
Here. Let me help you Sweetie. I've created this thread about U.S. imperialism. Dive right in.

So you're not, good. Focus on your own posts and I'll focus on mine.
Wow very interesting. There can be few Boardsies or even Irish people who have not just visited but lived in so many different countries. Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Russia. Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
Your answer will help a Mod decide later what to do with you.
Are you a mod?
@MFPM are you going to stay on topic which is Russia's looming invasion of Ukraine or are you going to constantly reference U.S. directly or obliquely in every post?
'Perceived US imperialism'....seriously?
I couldn't care less whether you or anyone gives me the time of day here, I post here for myself.
More lies from you.
I have stated this ad nauseum I don't support Putin nor his regime, but unlike you and others here I don't support US imperialism who let's face it have committed some of the worst atrocities of the 21st century, and right now are supporting the bombing of civilians but that's probably OK in your mind because it's not Putin.
Animal Farm, oh the irony!
Yes Snooker. And not only does the message go out loud and clear, it's magnified and reinforced, by the best possible mouthpieces. SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO ANYONE WHO THINK'S THEIR FAME WILL PROTECT THEM.......WE CAN DO THIS TO YOU TOO!!!
They very brand was always considered a bit of a joke in this part of the world. And in truth, they were not the best built veh's around. But they fullfilled the state promise of a basic means of transport for every worker ( even if he /she had to wait several years to get their car, and could afford the "bribe". ) a bit like here now at the moment, if you want a specific model.... But, yes, the Niva 4 x 4's were sturdy vehs... well able for off roading,,, I remember using them in the depths of the Russian winter, and they did what was expected of them. And as for the Maz and KAMAZ trucks, for the roads and mountains of Afghanistan, they were king's of the road. They were then and most likely now built to a military design. Back then, no matter which version of MAZ / KAMAZ you picked, the only color option was a military green...😎
So you are continuing your crusade against perceived U.S. imperialism here on a thread about Russia and the Ukraine? Did you wander in here by mistake and couldn't find the door?
Why should anyone reading this thread give you the time of day?
Just pro putin imperialism is it?
Some imperialism is better than other imperialism
Orwell animal farm is another good book for you to read,I did it in School long ago
Mind you I personally prefer the imperialism where my vote counts and I've the right to say at a rally what I say here...
He was on rt with his corporal in Belarus
