authorities in parts of Donetsk region of Ukraine asking Putin for “additional military forces”
The Russians aren’t even capable of feeding their own troops. If the west give Ukraine the support they need they will win.

Zelensky asks will Germany side with a Democratic State or its Russian ally/master.
He shouldn't be expecting much
Whinging again. If he keeps over playing his hand he might end up with nothing. Always demanding and whinging.
I cant see anything wrong with that old tweet, it was worded in a way that it has to stop, needs dialogue from both sides, no blame on any side.
But people like whataboutery so much they create new accounts just for that
Putin obeys no rules,I see no reason why the west can't take him on within the borders of Ukraine, just from the air, or with long rang pinpoint attacks, hit their front lines hard.WIpe them out, end it.
Zelenskyy looks like he is about to punch Scholz in that picture.
A view into the mentality of the men on both sides of this conflict.
Russian men
Ukraine soldiers
Everyone is looking at it differently; he's doing it the way he needs to and that includes some of this browbeating of allies. It's not personal. Daily statements are essential even if some of the demands are not going to be realised.
Another explosion in russia 50k from the border.We have seen helicopter attacks before in russia but denied by Ukraine.
!In Klintsy, Bryansk region of Russia, cotton happened! Local Telegram Channels write that helicopters fired at the military unit"
Russia also losing rich people as a result of this. Interesting comment in this.
Historically, major country collapses have usually been preceded by an acceleration in emigration of wealthy people, who are often the first to leave as they have the means to do so.
Zelensky is doing all of those things to the point of irritation sometimes but you have to be irritating when your country's very existence is at stake. It's often the only way to keep people interested and actively supporting you.
Drone busters coming soon
For those of ye not yet fluent in Russian 😁The name for the drone killer translates as Orcrist - killer of orcs
They are fighting.... bleeding soldiers,equipment and slaves in Severodonetsk
I had a dream putin died. Take from that what you will.
And the fact he keeps pleading with countries like Germany and France to do more shows how much help Ukraine needs to have a chance of holding out long term.
Thankfully he plays it diplomatically rather than saying stupid things like "Russian masters". I hope it works for him
It would be a strange thing to hear that he was confirmed dead.A lot of celebrations in different countries and in years to come people would recall where they were when they heard the news.
And replaced by whom? Isn't the guy lined up to be his successor an even bigger dickhead?
Yeah but if it's a bigger dickhead who's more sensible then we could go back to Russia being a weirdo bizarro world while the rest of the world can move on, hopefully with as much of Ukraine as possible.
But he'd be one without both an army and money. The easier path is denounce Putin , pull back and work on any cunning plans in the background. I don't think Russia could even take on Moldova at this stage. I'm also coming round to the conclusion that Russia as any kind of world power is absolutely finished.
My post was about personal reactions to putin death.The who comes next question could wait until the next day as we all have a beer.🍻
In his head maybe. 110 days or so of this suggest he would get wiped out, probably very quickly, in any conflict with a well-armed modern army, plus there's that whole NATO thing.
CNN continues with its up-to-date news on the Ukraine invasion. Fox news sadly, seem more and more obsessed with president Joe more than anything else! Those republicans, one minute they have your back and the next they vanish into thin air.
Is Orcrist not "Orc-Cutter" or something? (yep, I sadly misspent time reading the language appendices in Tolkein's books, but was many years ago now).

Luckily he's not human
Exactly. Trolls are talking out of both sides of their mouth on this. They criticise the West for sending weapons to Ukraine, but also cry foul over Zelenskyy's constant lobbying for more of same. Actually, with the latter it's usually not as overt as that, but more like, "Jesus, this Zelenskyy guy. He's getting annoying. Right, everybody?" and trying to more subtly sow the seeds that way.
Any one of us here would do the exact same in his position. We have to remember that Putin would happily kill every last Ukrainian if they refuse to come under his control. That's the reality of it. God knows what is already being done with Ukrainians in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine right now. Shame on those who try to obfuscate, deny or distract from it. If anything, Zelenskyy has been extraordinarily calm and together in this whole situation. The idea that the West might turn its back on Zelenskyy for being a bit overzealous - how can you be overzealous when the existence of your people is at stake? You'll do anything and try anything, and that is totally understandable.
