His claims about genocide in the Donbass are absolute lies by the way. Nobody has ever taken them seriously. It's true that around 3000 civilians were killed in eight years, but that was nearly all as a result of fighting between the separatists and the Ukrainians. The Russian spoofers have never offered any evidence of genocide in the region.
That's not a well looking Putin. Heavily medicated.

A barracks in Mykolaiv was hit early this morning with reports of dozens dead. The pictures are awful.
Perhaps the most depressing part about this is the same barracks (or one very close to it) was hit over a week ago with 8 dead and yet they still continued to use it to sleep and gather in.
Maybe I'm missing something but surely they should be avoiding large multi-storey buildings to house large numbers of soldiers? I really hope they'll do something to prevent such significant losses from any single attack in future.
He was trying to float that Zelensky was an illegitimate president, groomed and installed by shadowy Western forces (probably the CIA in his very active birdbox). Never mind the facts that the State Department didn't know what to do with Zelensky when he was elected, and up until Zelensky's campaign started gathering pace were expecting to be dealing with Poroshenko after the ballots were counted.
Zod?🤔

It will only take people in the west boycotting Nestle or supermarkets dropping their products to bring them to sense.
A few social media campaigns about companies still doing business in Russia will cause a lot of western customers to think twice.
Nestle, in good old swiss money grubbing tradition, has refused to pull out of Russia. Do they ever have form for this sickening behaviour. Ghastly company
Ah, he will have to reduce the price of his services to the Assad regime so.....☺️
Did a blast of air from an explosion catch his hat and rip his head clean off?
Did it have young girls with their hair in plaits - a propaganda staple used by Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Greta?
And then the Russian Ruple will crash down more.
It's a ruse - anyone who sells will be identified as not having got Putin's message about 'traitors and scum' and will spend the rest of their days in a Siberian Gulag.
Yes, the reason we're not hearing about Russian opposition to the war that it is simply too risky for them to speak out. People are apparently fearful of giving even an interview in the street about the war (even to Russian based media) for fear of the knock coming on the door the following morning.
This Wall Street Journal article is an account of how the town of Voznesensk defeated the invading Russian force.
I think the ordinary voters across the EU and US will have to ensure that the isolation is brought to bear on Russia. Politicians will naturally cede to Russian normalisation over time but if that happens with no reform or corrections for Russia's actions then it's incumbent on Western society and the voters within, to demand from politicians that we not forget what happened.
You must be a Russian to say such things!
Yeah, Poles are bitter because they were defeated fighting over Russia, Ukraine and Belarus? What about Russians invasions and occupations of Poland few times in the meantime.
It's like accusing Ireland to be bitter towards Britain because of Irish imperialistic needs, not because Ireland become independent from UK after WWI. (Poland unfortunately lost this freedom from Russia after WWII) Is Poland showing any imperialistic needs towards Russia or Ireland towards UK?
Projects your own imperialistic needs on someone else...
I'm not talking about nuclear war. I'm talking about the rise of ultra nationalism and conflict. Proxy wars and the general rise or extremism in Europe
Because anti-aircraft systems are complex. You don't just turn them on and away they go; they need to be transported by trained logistics crews, setup and maintained by trained engineering crews, and then operated by trained air defence crews.
That single Sky Sabre system for example requires over 100 personnel to travel with and operate it; that would mean NATO/EU/whoever personnel on the ground in Ukraine operating an air-defence system which is a #1 priority target for Russian forces.
That's why you've heard talk about Soviet-era anti-air systems for Ukraine; because they're the ones that Ukraine is trained and equipped to operate themselves.
The amount of Irish people in the comments crying about "what about Irish hospital waiting times" or "what about ambulance coverage" is honestly infuriating.
You missed the best part about that helicopter... it was already shot down in Ukraine:
Was thinking that about Putin myself. Then I though he probably had bullet proof glass around him
The Romans didn't. The Norse didn't. The Normans didn't. The Germans didn't (although it's arguable that they never had any real intention on invading England either).
Ireland has never been a stepping stone to Britain.
I would describe it as a Trump rally on steroids though and borrowing more from Nuremberg. People waving Z flags and the presenters and guest acts wearing it on their lapels, slogans on the big screens about the Donbass and defeating "Nazism", Russian flags everywhere......a hyper nationalist event.
There won't be Nuclear war not a single chance of it. But its time NATO stepped up as an organisation and defend a country especially whos hospitals are getting bombed where sick children are located and weren't the instigator of the war. How on earth can we stand by and see poor innocent children been harmed. It would give you nightmares. Can you live happily afterwards seeing all the children getting killed wrecklessly and Intentionally by the Russians? I can't.
It was a pity some Hitman wasn't present in the football stadium today and sniper Putin. All we need is one bullet to his brain.
I wouldn't dwell that much in the past.
It was quite bizarre and somewhat disturbing but it just goes to show how amateurish the Russian PR regime is. A stadium event with rock music and borrowing from Trump rallies yet Sergei Lavrov was making the case for it's all the fault of the USA today.
