Unfortunately, they could just flatten it.
Not reported in any media I can find, so how about a link, as it sounds like Russian propaganda.
To an extent they do but EU gas issues will be resolved before winter and Russian oil they expect to free themselves from by year end. In that context it makes no sense to heap more pain on economies just as a short term punishment of Putin, especially as sanctions are beginning to bite very hard.
The train with PMs entered Ukrainę a few minutes ago.
When I saw the picture, I was sure it was photoshopped, because a person who commits such a bold act is doomed to suffer. If she is still alive, she probably will not be for long. The lives of all her family members are in danger. A person has sacrificed everything, and you, sitting in comfortable circumstances, are talking about suspicions. It is disgusting to read that.
I hope your correct.
Do you not think he is going on try?
I agree with your general point. But the Germans,at least, still want their oil and gas, saying a boycott would hurt Germans more than Putin and it's not on the cards. Just wait, these sanctions will be rolled back in no time as soon as the west can justify it. Money trumps everything
Polish, Chech and Slovenian PM will be going today to Kyin to meeting Zelensky. This is - BIG-.

Ukrainian kids ale already attending classes in Polish schools. The speed of this happening is unreal. I assume someone made a really good decision to ignore all rules and just act in the best interest of those kids.

Russia can't take Kyiv this would be wasted ink discussing.
When the dust settles and we look back and find out what really happened in this war I would not be too surprised to discover that a couple of these high level Russian officers deaths were internal on the Russian side. Officers who questioned the czar, or got too popular with the troops and were seen as a threat. Russian autocrats have previous in this kinda thing and the fog of war is ideal for that sort of "cleaning house".
If Russia do indeed take control of Kyiv what then?
Will Ukraine forces lay done arms since their capital is taken and president captured/killed?
It's becoming more evident by the day that Russia can't control the whole country so it's going to have to be Go big or Go home soon for Putin you would imagine.
the Recent photo op between the Russian and Chinese presidents re ‘cementing ‘ their friendships does not preclude a level of ‘ friendship’ between the U and Ch presidents . Ukr and China have some kind of a nuclear reactor deal between them and China have investment interests in Uke also. Is this not sufficient grounds for Ukr to REQUEST arms from China and put a ‘spanner into the works’. Such a move would help to neutralise China in the war
On sheer numbers they would have had logic on their side but that assumed the Russians could actually prosecute such a short war and that Ukraine would simply capitulate. I think it is more likely the Russians will begin to look for an out via talks, one that they claim as a victory of sorts: probably those rump regions in the east. Sanctions are just a few weeks old, nobody wants to buy their oil and it's all downhill from here.
A CNN journalist says US officials estimate "about 6,000 to 8,000 Russian ground-force fatalities" so far.
That would mean "there have been more Russian combat fatalities in just about two weeks of war in Ukraine than the US had in both Iraq and Afghanistan in 20 years."
Probably the same military experts who a few weeks ago said they'd take Ukraine in 2 days.
Russia can still win the war, just depends how much destruction they're willing to do. You do get the sense however, that if Putin could start over again, he'd have restricted himself to the breakaway regions in the east, incorporate them into Russia, and strengthen his hand politically, instead of this disaster. We've all overreached once in our life,albeit not on this scale
Same as EU green initiative’s whilst reliant on Russian gas and oil.
Which would actually be fine if Putin hadn't turned out to be completely unreliable as a partner they could deal with. We can buy things from others like the Saudis, Chinese, Israelis etc. despite their dubious behaviour in some spheres of society. Not sure why people continue to go off on rants about the move to greener energy. We are doing it now because we can and should and because we know it will take quite some time to get the mix right.
You haven't provided a source of any kind and have made an explicit claim. Vague statements isn't backing up the claim.
Apparently the British army / Queens Guard members that went AWOL to fight in Ukraine, were killed when their apartment was struck.
I wonder if the British got to them first as they were in a panic about Russia using them as evidence of NATO involvement if caught.
Another bullshit RuSSian "Wunderwaffen".
Mr Wallace said Russia “has genuine security concerns about NATO going into Ukraine but that doesn’t change the fact that what Russia has done now is a crime.”
The pair said their stance was one against the increased militarisation by European allies and “other serious clauses” they believe would prolong the war.
Muppets!
Tit for tat with the Hague:-
Your right I forgot about that as well. They knew they needed to do that work as well they just didn't bother.
As long as we in the EU import goods from countries with no EPA standards like China and India it makes a mockery of climate action.
Same as EU green initiative’s whilst reliant on Russian gas and oil
We are where are now because of nonsense EU virtue signalling on a grand scale.
with China and Russia we let the foxes into the hen houses.
Highly recommend a read of the above. Putins Russia has been working on this since 2018 or earlier. The potential for a line of bad code to result in something similar, but worse than, the recent Indian icbm launch is real.
Sanctions should only end with nuclear disarmament, nothing less. We should expect other nuclear armed western countries to provide some carrot in reducing or eliminating theirs too.
I've seen several military experts suggest Russia has made as much progress into Ukraine as is possible and won't be able to make any more. It can carry on fighting for months but will be stuck where it is and not able to make any more significant ground.
This is actually worse than the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. They are going to walk out of Ukraine soon with their tails between their legs. Zs dead baby Zs dead.
He will stop at Ukraine since his army has demonstrated that it can't go any further.
It'll be barely able to take Ukraine if indeed it is able to at all.
Do you think it was a Russian false flag event or a Ukrainian PR stunt ???
She works in the media, is well aware of the widespread recognition of English, and probably considered it the best way to go viral
Her sign didn't read "NO WAR", it read "NOWAR" so not likely to have been written or worded by a fluent English speaker
Funnily, that’s also an excellent basic description of communism in practice (as opposed to in theory). “People drunk on power” would be another good one. Russian mentality still steeped in it, China immersed in it.
That's funny, as I'm suspicious of you. Not sure if it's snake in the grass or useful idiot.
