Despite using his most expensive missiles launched from jets in the caspian sea in this highly strategic operation,Putins plan failed,one of his biggest threats is safe in hospital and receiving the best care.
"A 7-year-old girl, who was rescued from the rubble of a house in Kyiv today, was operated on. Now her condition is stable.The child has moderate explosive injuries, numerous wounds and bruises."
The person that was killed and his injured wife and child were Russian citizens.
Orcs-
Russia is on the verge of its first loan default since 1998 as it is certain to miss Sunday’s deadline to make $100m interest payments.
Russia has the money and is willing to pay, but sanctions have made it impossible for international creditors to receive payments.
The aim here is to embarrass Russia and remind them of where they are.
Nice little piece on the Cesare Howitzer
Snake Island may be hit again
Interesting picture showing how close artillery is to the Romanian/Nato border..may not be accurate info but it makes sense.
Sigh. I told them 5 pages ago to stay off that island. Neither side is going to have it.
Kiev back in the cross hairs again, surely not
...
Good morning.welcome to sunday😁

drop your sarcasm, we are not all war correspondents
I'm not a war correspondent either.I'm having a laugh....sorry☹️
#metoo :)
Moscow gangsters firing missiles into a major european city needs a response sorry its a no fly zone with boots on the ground
Russia is at war with the west we ignored all warning signs time to man up
Almost 4 months into the war and not a squeak from the Russian population either at home or abroad in protest against it. Its time to send them packing and back to their motherland because they certainly are at best sympathisers for the war and the war crimes being committed.
Disagree. Many of them are silent because they are afraid, and they have good cause to be afraid. However, any one of them that was found to have been engaging in that 'Z convoy' should have had their residency permissions cancelled and deportation orders issued. That's within the gift of the Minister of Justice.
No point in playing nice with them.
Have a few dealings with one at the moment through work.
Arrogance, importance and superior complex springs to mind every time.
Brazil could start by ending its open doors policy to Russians the same with Colombia. The FT reports that well-educated Russians are heading in the doves to Latin America. Quite a few could well be spooks giving recent funny business with those kinds of educated types.
Putin humiliated with Macron and Scholz at the table.
Even though I would not be a big cheerleader for Boris I will give him a lot of credit for sticking with Ukraine. Despite all the domestic troubles Boris has, he is making it his mission to insure Russia is defeated.
The west needs to be of one mind on this-
West must not sell out Ukraine, says Liz Truss in swipe at Emmanuel Macron (telegraph.co.uk)
This must be like a dream come true for Boris, he'd like to see himself as a modern Churchill.
Von Der Leyen there at the table had a tough time of it with the Russians in her youth.
Her father was a German politician and the KGB were kidnapping children of German politicians. (aren't they really lovely people who've been allowed away with murder up till.. now)..maybe
The German authorities sent her to Britain for safety where she received her education under a different name for her safety from the russian spooks. She's also an accomplished horsewoman hence her quip at Boris about horse riding is best.
Good time for some random Churchill quotes:
If I had been properly supported in 1919, I think we might have strangled Bolshevism in its cradle...
I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt, not only on one side of the House, but throughout the civilized world, that the strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race.
Tough time to be a farmer.
Some attributing this to Russian agents in Turkey. (Hoping for the FAMINE.)
4 Missile strikes on one video
Sure,but we're not talking about the tiny minority of Russian supporters on this thread, we're talking about a hardcore group of Ukraine supporters who attack anyone who diverges even mildly from their rosy interpretation of events and uses name calling, personal insults and accusations of being on the enemy's side to stifle any sort of balanced discussion.
A Russian friend of mine has been hosting a Ukrainian refugee in her very small flat for the last 3 months, others I know are doing voluntary work to help refugees. Takes a lot more sacrifice than posting tweets of bombs 25 times a day on boards. All are ashamed and disgusted by the war. There are exceptions. Not enough, but they're out there
And some more random Churchill quotes
“I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.”
Discussing the bengal famine he said he hated Indians, they were a beastly people with a beastly religion And deserved to die for breeding like rabbits.
”. I believe in the ultimate partition of China – I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph”
In May 1954, Violet Bonham-Carter asked Churchill's opinion about a Labour Party visit to China. Winston Churchill replied:
“I hate people with slit eyes and pigtails. I don't like the look of them or the smell of them – but I suppose it does no great harm to have a look at them.”
