Factions in the FSB apparently told them. Occam and his Razor would disagree with that claim. Things can get corrupted or deleted and that's what backups are for.
He needs to be booted out , absolutely rediculous claims.
On another note 14 cargo planes landed in I believe in Poland yesterday carrying weapons and supplies with are now being transferred across the Ukrainian border , that's some serious firepower
The Russian mod? Would that be the same one that deleted all the posts on the thread a week or so ago?
The thing that scares me is that Putin and his gang of Oligarchs have de facto already lost everything. The sanctions are already imposed. Joking aside, Putin will probably end up before The Hague. And we would be fools to think that they give a damn for the Russian individuals. What does Putin personally have to lose? Because analysing his behaviour, that is all that seems to matter
I think people walking around swastikas tattooed on various body parts would qualify. They're not exactly shy about it
Even if you divide this by 2 that is brutal losses in only 10 days.
General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine informed on the total combat losses of the Russian Armed Forces during Russia – Ukraine war from February 24, 2022 to March 5, 2022 are as follows:
Personnel – more than 10 thousand people,
Tanks – 269 units,
BBM – 945 units,
Artillery systems – 105 units,
MLRS -50 units,
Air defense means – 19 units,
Aircraft – 39 units (to be specified),
Helicopters – 40 units (to be specified),
Automotive equipment – 409 units,
Light speedboats – 2 units,
Tanks with PPM – 60,
UAV operational and tactical level – 3,
LBC reporting thousands of angry Russians stranded abroad with no way back and unable to access funds for day to day spending.
Two take-home messages from the interview:
I abhor the regime. I sympathise with the people
I have an awful feeling that Zelensky is the out for Putin and that when he's gone then nato will say enough and putin will say I got what I wanted.
The remarkably unified response worldwide would have given them serious pause for thought and put the US and Taiwan on much higher alert. A $500bn trade surplus would also be at risk and they are still struggling to work out how to stay on both sides of the fence
It's very close to China to be lobbing a couple of nukes at a lad in a bunker. Can't see that happening
His countries military have invaded Ukraine and are killing men women and children and he goes on TV complaining that he's receiving death threats!
Some guy that I was speaking to was trying to state that the loony left are evil, and that National Socialists were left wing.. He is the Fox News and RT type.
Everybody has some understanding of what Nazi means. It is a fascist who puts the glory of the motherland above human-life and will systematically kill the innocents to achieve their”Reich”
He couldn't even take out a lad armed with mud and a few sticks
They seek him here
They seek him there
At the Golden Gate
And Freedom Square
He must avoid the death squads, this is his solemn test
'Cause he's a dedicated leader of the Ukraine
I mean the biggest problem is that the term "Nazi" doesn't have a clear meaning. It seems to be used to refer to people who are even slightly nationalist or maybe just racist/xenophobic all the way up to genuine Hitler fetishists and ethnic cleansing advocates and everything in between.
It's just yet another lazy way to categorise people without actually even trying to look any deeper.
They are not blinkered, they are blinded by the State. What can these 100m do? If they have any family at home there is a huge risk to them.
Trump has just come out with the hard talk, stating that none of this would happen if he was in office because he would have threatened to nuke Moscow. That would definitely solve the problem 🙄🙄🙄
Merkel was all about trade and dialogue and as a child of the Soviet block felt she had a handle on Putin. Maybe she had but not this version of him. They were looking at the mutual benefits and under the illusion that Russia could be persuaded to be a good partner to Europe. For a while the signs were decent but sadly a regime obsessed with the glory days of the Soviet/Russian empire are just not going to do that. Laughing at Trump is really no great affront to anyone, apart from to Trump himself.
Ah get out of it. You'd get more American nazis on a Louis theroux documentary.
500 is only scrapping the surface. 500 in one prison maybe.
Is it the first time ever a peace keeping mission has called a cease fire..
I'm really struggling to understand how Russian people are so blinkered..I had really hoped that they would cop on sooner than this. Grimble grumble where ever he is hiding can't keep his atrocities from them forever. Approximately 100 million(?) ex pat Russian people worldwide sitting idly by afraid to speak up. Disgusting
apparently 3 assassination attempts made this week on zelensky. Stopped by Ukrainian special forces with Intel from Russian mod.
Interesting opinion piece on Zelenskyy and how he handled Trump during the blackmail attempt. Zelenskyy's no naif, that's for sure, and giving the world some hope Ukraine will prevail.

It's all well and good Putin hiding in the middle of nowhere, but I'd fully expect the Americans to have at least 2 nukes locked in on that exact position
C-5 Super Galaxy just south of Sicily. It will be really interesting to see where she ends up. Largest aircraft in the USAF. A massive troop and Tank carrier.
The big boys are active!, haven't seen one in the theatre of operations yet.
I'd appreciate it if someone else keeps an eye on where it ends up. If it's Romania, then there are some serious reinforcements occurring.
Where are you hearing that Russians are refusing to enter Mariupol?
Unconfirmed reports Zaporizhia nuclear power plant back under Ukrainian control
From an Ukrainian reporter based in Kyiv

Mariupol ceasefire not really for humanitarian reasons but to allow Russia to reorganize and deploy more cannon fodder (19/20 year old soldiers). Fewer artillery strikes and air strikes. Russia could lose this war through its own corruption.
I would say Abramovich and Usmanov are drawing up a list of the government hierarchy(Ministers, advisers, Generals) who will be handed over to face war crimes. Vladimir Putin is cowardly beyond belief. There is no way he is in Moscow. To call him scum would be an insult to scum.
Ammunition intercompatability.
Just occured to me that lack of Ammunition is never mentioned in the war. Ukranians use the same rounds ( more or less) as the Russians, so they have captured millions of rounds from the Russians so far. The Russian round is also slightly smaller than a NATO round. Years ago, I had the opportunity of firing a couple of rounds from both an AR-15 and an AK. The AK felt like a .22 rifle. Hardly any recoil and the "crack" was like that of a .223 hunting rifle. You'd know you fired an AR-15, I can tell you!
