Our lot here certainly warrant closer scrutiny in this regard too…
Don't be fooled, that squatter piece of sh1t would just as soon rob a young families home.
These people are anarchist thieving criminal scum and are just using this as an excuse to do their usual scummy thing..
Hope the riot police broke some skulls there.
Just a special fishing operation
Gas how the Irish relate to them
True, but they have decent bunkers/shelters. Had Putin been able to achieve a siege, it may have been a more dire situation than being shelled. They'd have been out of food in 2-3 weeks. No food, medicine or weapons would have been able to get in.
At this rate only a complete surrender by Russia will be acceptable.
Hon Ukraine 🇺🇦!
Im out on a limb but you sir are floating in space
And they didn't cold-weather prepare the infrastructure (mostly thermal plants and all the other gubbins a grid requires) which ended up failing.
While this may be true, it does not stop the war criminals from shelling the city into obliteration.
They already previously they would not allow foreign peacekeepers to be deployed in Ukraine,they will only allow Russian forces to be deployed in Ukraine
The Russian public are so immersed in the state propaganda and lies that they probably have even no awareness at the moment that the international sanctions will never be lifted whilst their dictator remains in the Kremlin and that their country will have to pay hundreds of billions of Euros in compensation to Ukraine. It's a bit of a tragedy that they don't even understand the fullness of what has happened but it will become evident to them in time.
You are correct. The big key was they had separated themselves from the rest of the country in terms of their grid.
A few months into the future view of Aeroflot fleet after no maintenance.
If there's any Russian aircraft which can take a bit of damage and return home, it's the Su-25. It's the modern Sturmovik and designed to take some hits and keep going. That may well be the aircraft which was witnessed taking a direct hit from a missile and still continuing its rocket attack earlier in the war.
CV90 is also a lot heavier and on tracks, plus it seems this BTR was firing to the side, so if the vehicle's going to rock, that's when it's going to do it. The Russian 30mm is not as accurate as the Bushmaster on CV9030s, but is serviceable enough and makes up for it in rate of fire.
The estimated damage cost about 5 or 6 days ago was $100b
yes some NGO organization Im sure is keeping a tally of the human and other cost of every missile, bomb, bullet hitting its target in Ukraine, every kopek should be tallied and the Russian people should be able to see the tally, then once Putin is gone the RF should be brought to book on that tally
I agree, but Russia would probably drag its heels on doing just that. If they can't have Ukraine, they don't want it rebuilt just so it can achieve its aspirations of NATO/EU membership.
But it really depends on what the bargaining positions of the sides are whenever this ends. Hopefully Russia is not in much of a position to force much of anything by that point.
It appears Gazprom had a significant hand in influencing/funding the Green movement in Germany and they were likely instrumental in getting the anti-nuclear stance pushed hard. Germany's energy policy is corrupt and significantly influenced from Moscow.
yeah that's a great idea, make the Bear less dangerous while making the Panda Bear even more powerful and wealthy.
But they have provided the world with some amazing looking women, so I think that balances things out a bit.
Another large Russian convoy on the move with heavy artillery
Actually, I'd add that Russia should be made to pay reparations for all those years of communism that it inflicted on the rest of the world. We could be talking €trillions

Yes, the long term implications of this invasion will be interesting to watch. It's very unlikely the sanctions against the regime will ever be lifted whilst the dictator / tyrant remains in power. And as you say, they may well have to pay massive reparations after attacking and invading a neutral country that posed them no threat whatsoever.
New toys. Will probably go through Russian military junk like a knife through butter.
I thought they had a huge outage cos they deregulated the grid and split it from the rest of the country
