Ukraine (Mod Note & Threadbanned Users in OP)

'The Ukranians' are not exporting weapons. The weapons are Serbian.

Did you even read the article you linked to?

"The Antonov An-12 light aircraft, which was transporting the weapons from Serbia to Bangladesh, had eight Ukrainian crew members onboard."

Ukranian Antonov aircraft carry all kinds of cargo all over the world.

"Mr Zelensky said over 650 cases of suspected treason and aiding and abetting Russia by Ukrainian security officials are currently being investigated, including 60 cases of officials who have remained in territories occupied by Russia and are working against Ukraine."

Pussy thinks Zelensky should turn a blind eye to that kind of thing, like a good little Russian!

The Russians apparently. In an attempt to subvert Ukraines sovereign choice to embark on path to joining the EU.

Having the head of your security service be compromised by the Russians is not a good look regardless - we already have enough compromised individuals in the EU member states, Ukraine joining the EU could add a whole lot more

If you have hard evidence that they are a hindrance to your war effort, then surely sacking them would inspire confidence.

And no doubt your retort will be "why didn't they sack them sooner", they likely had to follow due process and be fully justified in doing so. Had they been sacked sooner, I'm sure you'd be raising issues with that too.

How many Russian generals, intelligence heads have been sacked, or just simply disappeared?

Did that inspire your confidence?

Pretty obvious how you only ever care about one set of optics.

I wouldn't know apart from Dvornikov and that's not been confirmed. And neither do you. The Russians keep that stuff close to their chest. But the people Zelensky did sack are quite pivotal in the state.

If Biden were to sack both the head of the CIA and the Attorney General on the same day for treason you would be worried about the governments stability and cohesion wouldn't you?

Yeah of course you wouldnt know. You never do when it comes to Russian troubles setbacks atrocities or war crimes. Yet an expert on Ukraines. Utterly predictable right on cue echoing Russian propaganda mouthpieces.

See no evil hear no evil eh.

That doesnt make it untrue. You cant even deny it.

The reports are not just on Newsweek. Washington Times and more.

How about googling it and getting some non approved by the Kremlin information.

The Washington Times is Republican leaning. I think you are viewing independent news outlets in the West through the prism of how they would operate in the gangster dictatorship of Russia.

You demonstrate once again you are unable to deny the information. Just try to shotgun discredit the source without realising it just demonstrates how little you know.

And that you really have no idea of the operation of a free press in a free society where major news outlets can have different outlooks and publicly oppose and criticise those in power. Unlike Russia.

Here is The Times of London:

"Sergey Beseda, head of the FSB’s foreign intelligence branch, was arrested with Anatoly Bolyukh" ... and latest reports put him in Lefortovo prison.

Again no attempt made to deny the reports or that of The Times.

Where is intelligence chief Sergey Beseda?

Where are these officers?

"Those fired included Major General of Police Vasily Kukushkin, who was head of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Vladimir region; Major General Alexander Laas, deputy head of the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Altai Territory and Major General Andrey Lipilin, head of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Yaroslavl Region."

Where are these officers?

"The reports of the most recent firings come after Putin reportedly dismissed other senior officials last month. On May 19, the U.K. Ministry of Defense reported that Putin had fired two senior commanders - Lieutenant General Serhiy Kisel, who had commanded the 1st Guards Tank Army, and Vice Admiral Igor Osipov of the Black Sea Fleet. Osipov was reportedly fired following the sinking of the Russian flagship Moskva, which was a major embarrassment to the Russians but considered a significant victory by the Ukrainians."

No, they don't. You're essentially saying the EU isn't a confederation of 27 states but some sort of colony of France and Germany. Which is a Europhobic lie. Erme where did I hear that... Brexitshítters "campaign" founded/aided by Kremlin perhaps...

Anyway France is not exactly on the side of Germany this time in this case. It's Germany + Italy combo here vs everyone else with Central, Eastern, Baltic and Nordic being the most hard-line (except for Hungary).
