Crimea is a tricky one as it was only handed to Ukraine in 1954 and had previously been very Russian.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely...
Just another in the long line of supreme autocrats driven mad by untrammelled power.
Which happened organically of course.
Russian troops shelled 23 settlements in Luhansk and Donetsk region in last 24 hours. In Avdiyivka and Kostantynivka 3 peopled killed, 1 wounded
Its heating up now
Not too sure what to make of these guys. Belarus and Kazakhstan seem to be where a few of them came from.
Don't know if this was posted. More fire in Russia
Proximity fuses
They had only taken Crimea in the 1780s so it is strange to act like it is traditionally russian. In any case states are supposed to accept the current international borders.
In just a few months Mutton Head Putin has driven Russia back in time. By the end of the summer, he will have driven into the ground.
The Wagner base in Kadiivka was hit last night.
Russian forces conducting offensive towards Vozdvyzhenka-Roty with partial success, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
Clare Daly is an amateur first level conspiracy theorist. She doesn't realize there are another 31 levels; a useful idiot.
Humanity as a whole is just that little bit better after that.

Russia starts car production after a 3 month pause with a clever new idea to get around sanctions.If we don't have parts then we don't put them in.
"According to information sheet The planned Lada will not meet the Euro 5 environmental standard, which until recently applied in Russia. It will also lack airbags, anti-lock braking system ABS and stabilization of the ESP chassis. While the basic version of the Vest will be deprived of basic comfort equipment, at least an electrically operated windows and power steering will be available at an additional cost."https://www.world-today-news.com/after-a-break-the-russians-start-producing-a-single-model-lada-stinks-more-and-is-less-safe/
A country going backwards.
Oh look, there are Tatars on the shores of the Caspian. I wonder what happened to them.
...so, the Lada'S are back,
not to mention a timely note about Russia's dear leader being a bit tipsy or worse!
I borrowed an uncles lada to take my partner at the time to the debs. It was the modern day equivalent of a Dacia Duster.
It doesn't surprise me that some Ukrainian men are less keen on fighting than quite a lot of posters on this thread. It must be sheer hell out there
Did you actually get the ride... as in did the car get you there is what I mean, of course. 😌
Fire at industrial enterprise in Dnipro city is not connected with missile strike this morning
China denies providing any military assistance to Russia-
I for one don't believe
I'd say the Chinese get very jesuitical in their affairs when it comes to Russia.
I'd be in no doubt the current level of artillery or artillery rounds have made their way from china frankly
BBC's Sarah Rainsford points out that Putin didn't look 'cornered' or 'defensive' yesterday when talking about seizing land and "returning" it to Russia. If anything, he seemed cocky and quite ebullient.
Talk of him needing an off ramp or a way of saving face by the usual suspects is quite clearly nonsense.
Migs were slightly changed in Poland to be more in line with F16 use, so untrained on F16 pilot wouldn't be able to operate it, I think.
So are we potentially looking at the start of a new proxy war? Where Russia is China's proxy.
Why would he look 'cornered'? There is no "Putin" as a public person. "Putin" is a façade for propaganda and disinformation. You don't show your real emotions when you are putin, you show "emotions" that need to be shown to achieve some goal.
Western intelligence have stated they have seen no evidence of china offering military support, I don't even think they supplied them with MRE's, but take a random post on boards and believe them.
Iran looks to be the only one supplying Russia with arms.
Earlier on, it was claimed that Chinese ammo and ordnance was not compatible with Russian weapons and systems. Maybe they've adapted or are manufacturing to spec.
