Except their not giving them their selling them to Ukraine.
Girkin also admitted Crimea referendum was held at gunpoint and was false
This is interesting How Russia invaded Ukraine as told by FSB colonel Girkin | Euromaidan Press
No clue, I'm afraid. Sorry.
They would have admitted to helping Fanny Kaplan, a Ukrainian Jew, try kill Lenin if they were pushed and they surely had it rough.
Orla Guerin saying on the BBC that the sham "republics" take their orders directly from Putin and this is very likely his doing.
They "confessed" to being mercenaries in the show trial.
Doubt Putin cares about executing them or the Geneva conviction, the same lad has ordered executions on British soil.
Would be interesting to see how they play it though, it would certainly illicit a response from the UK if they were to go ahead.
NATO isn't fighting in Ukraine.
There are a lot of volunteers helping fight the Red Army though.
Calling them mercenaries is setting the stage for them to be shot. The Geneva convention not applying to mercenaries.
Mercenary in this context is straight out of the FSB spin department.
I was assuming they weren't of the angry Aussie type but the St Petersburg basement dwelling type
They see him as tearing down the bourgeoisie capitalist West.
The only 2 rail routes to Greece from Germany are via Serbia-Montenegro and Romania-Bulgaria.
Although Serbia-Montenegro is more direct, politically it probably wouldn't be acceptable through Serbia. That's if the line south of Belgrade was even able to handle the load. From what I've seen, I'd have my concerns.
As regards routing stuff via Romania and Bulgaria, if driving through there is anything to go by, I'd prefer to send my valuable IFVs on a nice safe ship. Did they at least rail them to Italy and ship from there or did they have to go the long way?
Load of Irish people do be at the same in social media etc.
Bizarre how they live Putin.
Seem to be from the anti government anti establishment crew.
Was scrolling through Facebook and glanced at a suggested post, i.e. not a page i follow. It was a Ukrainian journalist writing for an Australian newspaper with the front page of an edition after she had been to the front lines.
I glanced at the comments and holy crap, the putin bots were out in force. Every, and i mean every comment and reply was along the lines of:
Why don't you write about how zelenskyy is a gangster?
Why didn't you write about why NATO started this?
What about the children shelled by Ukrainian soldiers?
What about the locals tortured in Donbas since 2014?
I clicked into a few profiles of the commenters and they were all the same type of thing; account created from 2019 on and their profile picture/background updated once in 2021. And there was a disproportionate amount of commenters with a first or last name of Albert. And the replies to the comments were all varieties of the above types of comments and made no sense in the context of what they were replying to.
No slow your roll. There these are not mercs. The UK lad joined in 2018 and just renewed his contract with the Ukrainian army in January. He has a spouse who is Ukrainian.
These are not mercs please bother your arse to read about them before you propagate Russian propaganda. This is against the Geneva convention.
Will be interesting if they go ahead with it. It seems a lot of the time, they are all talk with their threats to Western Powers.
...
Reportedly they were mercs, not NATO soldiers. This is still a provocative move for Russia to take.
First news I got about this today
Wonder what the British response will be?
Maybe ship some longer range weapons.
Sentencing Soldiers to death. Typical stuff for Russia I suppose . Wonder what the German politicians think of this with all there weasel ways.
To be honest, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. And all its attributed to is 'intelligence'.
I don't consider the indo to be particularly intelligent, so I'll wait for clarification from elsewhere.
FWIW, those German IFVs have started arriving in Greece. No idea why they went by ship instead of train, especially to the Northern port of Thessaloniki. The Greeks have a large armor training base in Thrace, just NorthWest.
It's an interesting suggestion, swap the British mercenaries for a lifting of some sanctions, would definitely give Borris a bit of trouble back home.
They don't seem to be referencing soldiers only mercenaries.
3 guys working on the programme for a week would iron out any kinks if there were any in the first place. Its not like they're rewiting the entire code. It would only be related to the munitions themselves at most.
Yes but in comparison to the size of their armed forces and what the British and Americans have sent its small change. And they should have sent these months ago

I don't think Russian power brokers care too much if they turn their motherland into a North Korea type stone age settlement.
“The situation at the front lines is difficult,” Oleksiy Reznikov
Russia is pressing in the est with 'quote' sheer mass. Thousands of Russian troops are sent to the grinder and despite all the losses thousands more are been sent. It is very hard for the Ukraine to counter what is happening there. Russia does not care how many of its own die as long as its gets what it wants. Ukraine desperately needs longer-range weapons or its a grim summer for them.
As for Germany and France.... bugger them, if Poland quits the union in 5 years' time it will be because of the EU's {Germanys and France] own goals.
Russian army shelled Staryi Saltiv, Ruski Tyshky, Cherkaski Tyshky, Korobochkine, Asiivka, Chepil and Udy at Kharkiv direction, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
Ex German head of state being employed by russians and French presidential candidate and her party financed by them, are these just extraordinary coincidences or maybe they are the proof anyone should ever need that they are in fact infiltrating and buying their way in? Do you think that these 2 examples are all there is, or maybe for every known case there are 10x more hidden?
At Sieverodonetsk direction Russian army shelled Sieverodonetsk, Lysychansk, Pryvillia and Katerynivka with mortars, artillery and MLRS. Russian aviation conducted airstrike at Toshkivka, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
