And their own TV channels are apparently only talking about a special operation in Donbas/Luhansk - where the brave peacekeepers are defending against Ukrainian aggression.
Would be interesting to see what the reaction from the people was if they suddenly said something like "and here you can see we are firing a few cruise missiles at civilian buildings in Kyiv".
It landed earlier, several hours ago it's on way back to Turkey now ,
Just relised there have multiple military cargo aircraft fly into Poland the over the few days 2-3 flights from the Turkish military
BBC news at 10 were wondering how Russia can suppress a nation of 44m people long term and if they even have have the military capacity to achieve it.
perfect time for other internal disaffected groups in russia to attack moscow etc. a bit like our own 1916 :)
Alas it may very well come to that, thought it would be an easy invasion, gets pissed off he doesn't control Ukraine already so brings in the big guns
No, it's still in the air, near the Romanian border, likely heading to Ankara.

Cold war was meant to be left behind so were soviet dictatorships. But yeah
No worries. It's been a long couple of days :)
Have a different view., that stirs the pot.. If Mexico joined the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics during the cold war days, you have the entire might of the US army planning invasion. Just unable to see why another country like Russia would be fearful?
Good. It'll really shine a light on those few holdouts who still side with Mad Vlad's fascist mafia.
Fecks sake ,
Yes that's the one Rzezow
Yes but he should get out to fight in another city if kyiv is about to fall. His loss would damage morale. The longer he survives the greater his legend becomes and his ability to motivate increases.
Reminds me of this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawo_Jazdy_(alleged_criminal) (love the description in the title 😂)
Looks like the Galicia division flag
Ahem, Port Lotniczy simply means airport in Polish ;) Are you talking about Rzezow Airport by any chance? That seems to be the staging point for NATO air ops related to Ukraine at the moment.
US ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield confirming the UN resolution will be brought to the General Assembly, the resolution will pass the GA (though is non-binding) as Russia's opinion won't count.
Erdogan today almost said that NATO should be helping Ukraine militarily. With his mood, I suspect that plane was carrying some useful stuff.
Hmmmm
So Putin also has his own bandits, just like the Nazi collaborator Waffen SS Muslim Mountain Division troops ready for bloodshed, the Hitler comparisons grow ever stronger it seems. 😡
It landed at Port lotniczy which is very close to the border with Ukraine ,only a few km by road.
For Putin, he needs to show off the new military hardware, but he needs to protect against those planes being shot down by 1990s anti aircraft technology
He'll definitely use those new tanks and fighters but only when they're guaranteed to be successful
It's exactly the same as when the US showed those 'precision' bombs' going down a chimney in the 2nd gulf war. The effectiveness of a weapon is only as effective as it is believed to be by the enemy
The most effective weapon is the missile that was never fired because the enemy decided they couldn't win that battle.
He was a really fantastic speaker wasn't he? Absolutely put the Russian representative to shame and made him sound like a bumbling moron.
Did anyone hear the Kenyan ambassador address to the UN during the week ? I heard a bit of it and it was superb.
It's still in the air just at the Slovakia-Hungary border.
I wonder if the US is supplying AA targeting info to Ukraine that allowed them to target and down the IL-76 and two helicopters?
I know I would.
I wonder if Ukraine falls into Russian absolute control would The Queen call a snap general election…as she’s entitled to do..
no way would I have any faith in Boris at this point, like her or loathe her she’s a shrewd operator and must see this fella is no Churchill he’s dunghill.
these long distance flame throwers are a throw back to WW1 and WW2, truly sick sh1t
He's great. A sense of pure moral certitude.
