They are, and at least two videos seem to have shown them at low level, but they can’t be everywhere. That said, there is a report that one of the pilots is now an ace. (Five kills). https://twitter.com/mikenelson586/status/1496965861860646918?s=20&t=noGH8HS8XBuX5PWGrcBNjw

I'd guess those forces aren't for a move into Poland but south towards Lviv in order to sever the connections with Poland and make both an escape there and resupply from Poland difficult if not impossible.

Why would you believe anything reported on a conflict posted on social media?
So at next G20 Summit, will Putin still be there laughing and joking with everyone?
they are bluffing
Ming has always been a joke politician , we are quite forgiving of gobsh1tes amongst the political class in ireland
Tbh if this operation goes badly wrong for Putin he may find a Makarov pointing at the back of his head ready to be fired by another member of his junta.
Sweden is unfamous for changing coats on the go. In WWII they declared independancy and were happily doing business with Nazis, after the war they were happily handing back all refuges from Baltic states to Stalin for extermination. Sweden keeps all the option so can always side with whoever runs the show, like a prostitute.
No winners there. But sadly some will think this will work.
Why would anyone give a damn about what Nigel Garage thinks. Of course he's wrong, he's always wrong.
Actually, I do think the Western world is distracted by dopey nonsense - such as pronouns and statues and correcting our history and language, and so on.
Meanwhile, our actual enemies look on and say, "Well, these guys are weak!" - and act.
So yes, there's a direct link between the two.
The West projects weakness and fear of war.
That means our enemies can act with strength - and through the means of war.
He's been quite clear about his objectives because they've been stated and restated by himself and his cronies. No NATO for Ukraine and Ukraine brought to heel.
He can say what he likes in terms of the outcome of this conflict, but if he fails to achieve those two things, it will be etched on his face.

I love your sig :

Wow...
Did you have that up before ?
nuke him before he nukes us
Luke “Ming” Flanagan is saying he was wrong. It does seem like its dawning on him what a stupid move voting against that resolution today. I wouldn’t hold my breath of daly and Wallace having a road to Damascus moment.

Does Ukraine not have it's fighter jets in the air? Are they not defending themselves from the air?
Probably obsolves citizens of the possibility of being prosecuted if they manage to kill any Russian soldiers.
What does this mean in reality?
I thought they already mobilised reservists and so on, and were willing to offer weapons to civilians.
What extra does this provide?
General mobilisation of the population across Ukraine.
Post WW1 was an era that was completely different to today. Unlike China the flow of information isn't as restricted in Russia.
A military response has to be avoided because Putin has clearly come unhinged and any such action would almost certainly lead to nuclear war.
The concerns of recouping money from Russia if they are removed from swift should be set aside. If sanctions are going to work they need to have their effects felt as quickly as possible.

He has been so vague about the objectives that he can withdraw at any stage and claim victory.
Probably the first and last time I'll agree with him.
Horrendous to think that human beings are doing that to each other because of one man's ego.
Shameful
