Russia - threadbanned users in OP

The mess Johnson's in at the moment is almost entirely of his own making. One may approve of his support of Ukraine (and I do), but that doesn't get him off the hook for taking Russian money and running an administration that lurches from mendacious to psychotic to omnishambolic and back again. And let's not forget that his support for Ukraine is mostly about (a) distracting from his woes at home and (b) fulfilling his wannabe Churchill w@nk-fantasy. Granted, none of this will be high on Zelensky's priorities and from his point of view he's quite correct. But let's not lose sight of what Johnson really is.

Take Putin’s speeches here literally. He claimed it was a special operation to diminish Ukraine’s military to practically nothing and another aim was to support and protect the people of the Donbas and Lugansk regions. In the east and south Russian war objective is on course to be completed and Ukraine is not a small country got many very large cities in the east and south and Mariupol for good reason only city Russia was willing to completely destroy take it over, as it’s perceived by them to be the main base and home of the Azov battalion. Azov is some of the most battle-hardened warriors ( despite their views) Only over a month ( not a long time when there street to street battles between thousands of men on each side ) the city is close to falling now.

It does seem the Kyiv operation did not go to plan. Russian military would typically flatten the defensive lines with artillery shells and cruise missiles and rockets and move in then to take out the frightened defenders left behind. What you saw at the beginning of Kyiv operations was columns of Russian light/heavy military vehicles behind it heading down roads/streets in a straight line, when you hit one tank and take it out vehicles behind it come to a stop and you expose yourself to enemy fire.

Ukraine forces operated guerilla tactics ( hit and run) and some forces attacked behind their defensive barricades, were too dug in to take out by ground forces alone.. Strategically it was not a Soviet way of fighting a war. It is possible Putin in these early days of the war, told his generals, to not destroy the towns and villages on the way to Kyiv and so basically this left his own military exposed on all sides. The force Putin assembled was also too small to take a city that large anyway. Putin may also wanted to keep the large bulk of the Ukraine northern army tied down so they couldn’t head down south to help the army stationed there?

Still have no clue how degraded the Ukraine military is hardware-wise. Western media blocks talking about such things. They likely have the manpower to continue the fight. But how many helicopters, airplanes, tanks, UAVs, and transport vehicles have they left, sams, s-300 and anti-air left? Russia hitting fuel depots inside Ukraine ( how much oil reserves have they left?) these vehicles need fuel and repairs after all.. Russia's industrial base for war is unharmed, Ukraine sites are constantly hit every day. Very hard to tell what's really happening to the Ukraine war machine..

"He claimed it was a special operation to diminish Ukraine’s military to practically nothing and another aim was to support and protect the people of the Donbas and Lugansk regions."

Lets not forget the denazification, wonder how that part of the special operation is going?

hahaha that's gas

Time for Ukrainian sympathisers to strike people involved in the invasion and other sites of importance in Russia so. Russia needs to feel unsafe.

Sky news earlier,

Russia Anti Nato museum installation , just shows how fecking desperate they are ,

Not varified supposedly the Moskva before sinking

NVM

Ukrainians discovering Russian explosives are fake and applauding the corruption.

"Second Army" and sticks instead of TNT checkers.

God, keep corruption 😂"

I posted it on the previous page including a photo of the ships rear pre invasion,

Helicopter pad and radar dome are the same,

That looks like it alright. You can see all the life rafts seem to be missing which also indicates plenty of crew managed to escape:
