I know you're well intentioned and I've noticed that others have misunderstood your post.
I don't think that Putin needs even the slightest additional reason to target schools, hospitals, universities, shopping centres, etc.
He's doing it simply to destroy Ukrainian society.
If you think that would stop Putin, you are very much mistaken...his only aim is to either take or destroy Ukraine, any way he can. When he is sacrificing Russian Soldiers, do you think that he will care about Ukrainians ( or any one else) ?. Nope. better they fight on.
Well there we have it, confirmed by Belgrade. Weapons were Serbian being exported under licence to the Bangladeshi government.
We can put the Putinbot USA-sponsored Bangladeshi coup conspiracies in the trash pile with the others now.
Unless the Kremlinites want to theorize that their pals in Serbia are plotting something in Bangladesh now.
My point is that even if the Putin apologists were to claim that the regime was trying to hit military targets, firing missiles into a city centre in the middle of the day is an extremely reckless and dangerous thing to do (and if they hit civilian buildings or kill people, it is 100% a war crime).
It’s not about fighting on or surrending.
What is a peace deal with Russia worth? They've already broken a previous agreement, and said they would not invade. A peacedeal would just give Russia a rest to rebuild and take more territory later.
I don’t know how this is going to end but I do suspect NATO will eventually intervene.
Urals oil price is below 24th February
all other oil indices falling
“Missing” are you for real?
The US hit one hospital in Afghanistan in 21 years. According to the WHO, Russia so far hit 200+ hospitals. A few are accidents (missile fail etc), many are not.
Russia is carrying out a genocide, second since Chechnya. This is an evil imperial genocidal empire, a throwback to evil colonial times.
The entire country is warzone. Russia is indiscriminate in its attacks. Weapons, soldiers, citizens, houses, infrastructure etc. Everything is a target for Russia as Russia is a mob on the rampage to terrorise Ukraine and it's supporters into submission. Where would you like Ukraine to fight or should they just surrender?
Nonsense - the Russian terrorist state is firing missiles into city centres and often missing the target completely, leading to numerous civilian casualties.
That city they attacked the other day, Vinnytsia, has a population of 400,000 and the supposed military target they attacked was surrounded by civilian buildings and apartment blocks. It would be like firing second or third rate missile systems into Cork or Galway city centre in the middle of the afternoon and keeping your fingers crossed you hit the right target.
Also, Vinnytsia is hundreds of miles from the front line and west of Kyiv - how on earth were they supposed to anticipate a cruise missile attack?
If Ukraine wants to protect its citizens, then stop using them as shields by putting military equipment in their midst.
Putin doesn't care about civilian deaths and injuries incidentally or intentionally. He has no concerns about "war crimes" against him or Russia. Decimating Ukraine into submission is his sole objective, no matter the cost.
Serbia would be friendly with Russia anyway.
Could have just been the ploy to blow up the Ukrainian plane by Russia.
Reports the plane was in flames coming down.
I didn’t l, oil is a slippery thing and it’s going east and then it seems the west is buying the oil from the east that the produce 🤫
When had you expected them to be working to such an extent it was evident to you?
I was thinking myself it was a strange route. Could have been a Russian op with Ukrainian flag attempting to get weapons to Russian forces. We will hear more some time.
Well given Russia is at pains to constantly point this out, it's damn near a certainty that they are indeed feeling the pinch from them.
Russian forces posed for pictures after shooting down flight MH17.
Sanctions don’t really seem to be working.
Yes its officially listed as being one of reasons for the declining population in Russia.
Nice to see some fires in Russia again-
That's why I put '???'. We'll have to wait and see...
"Reported" by who?
This is how disinformation works. Take a look at that Twitter account throwing nonsense in the air. Next thing you know a fake news site will carry it, and you'll have brain-dead ameoba on here swearing it's true.
They'll dissapear for a bit when it's proven to be horseshit, then will surface again in a few days with a new sh*t nugget they'll try to pawn off as an 'alternative fact'.
Maybe maybe not,I can't speak French, so,you know. Don't take my word for it.
???
Propaganda???
FLASH #Ukraine: Why did the #USA Embassy 🇺🇸 in #Kiev urge Americans to leave #Ukraina❓ #Kremlin sources allegedly leaked the info that #Putin issued an ultimatum to #Zelensky: "I give you 2 weeks to accept my conditions"
The route was Serbia to Jordan. Very curious.
I had (wrongly) presumed that it was transporting materiel from the US Airforce station in Crete to Ukraine.
That it was Ukrainian flagged, and took off from Serbia...hmmmm.
At least it came down in a rural or isolated area. That thing was loaded with munitions. Could have been very nasty.
Seems they reported an engine problem before going down. Bad news either way.
We will have to wait and see what caused this to happen.
Aughinish Alumina is the factory in question. Looks like health and safety now have a reason to issue a notice.
quote from the story.
“Last week, we refused to send a service crew into Rusal Limerick to install some new units which would have meant significant additional business for our small company, as a sub-contractor,”
I myself am not happy that FG are keeping it open.
