It's got nothing to do with Vorsprung durch Technik, you know.
*Parklife*
when you have craftsmanship like this
And tech like this
Even if they hit a military ship, the choice of target was downright bizarre given that Odesa had been the focal point of the signed agreement 24 hours earlier. Even the Turks and Erdogan must have been saying "What the hell?!" when news of the missile attack broke.
The problem with "no war"/"no to war"
Pretty good story about how much effort is required to rebuild destroyed towns. Lots of interesting drone footage.
The russians aren't fully surrounded, as in Ukrainian troops in a ring around them. But, they're effectively surrounded in that the areas that don't contain Ukrainians, the Ukrainians can shoot into. The russians have been told surrender or be eradicated, which is fair.
Reportedly a drone shot down over Dnipropetrovsk region
I think Putin getting away with Crimea emboldened him to take the rest of the Ukraine. I don't think he was expecting much resistance from the west. I can't see him invading anywhere else at the minute but if he does I can see a heave from within because his supporters won't like losing money.
What purpose?
It was only ever a talk shop at best, and any post cold war hope of it being anything more was torpedoed by US invasion of Iraq without a UN mandate.
Description of drone attack by Russian soldier
Up to a thousand according to the BBC. That would be pretty major. However aren't many hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers who were defending Mariupol in Russian captivity? Would be curious what approach would be taken there. Destroy or swap deal?
Plenty of news outlets being referenced here.
You can’t expect Joe Public to be totally engaged. But be sure those tasked with running countries are FULLY engaged.
The Prime Minister of Moldova: We are very concerned about the risk of a possible Russian invasion if military operations are directed towards southwestern Ukraine
Yeah looks like they have done a serious amount of damage to the port including the ship according to France24. Heart breaking if true 😥
Not at all my friend, just pointing out the obvious. Like i said the number of posts on this thread is proof enough of that. Needs to be kept in the public eye but i fear/know it's just dropping off the news and conversation cycle.
Seen this last two days. Also seen claims RuZZians asked for a green corridor. Not sure what the truth is yet they are surrounded or that circle is complete and tightening. Lots of debate and talk about it.
Burned out artillery
Right and anybody who believes that I have some swamp land I am happy to sell you!
Also rumors there's hundreds of Russians surrounded near Kherson.
Ukrainian military destroyed Russian S-300 near Zelenotropynske in Kherson region
I'm trying to do some ship ID based on the footage released, but I'm having trouble making heads or tails of it. It doesn't look like a "major" unit of the Ukrainian Navy, if the ship they hit was even a navy vessel at all. The silhouette doesn't seem to match anything in the Ukrainian arsenal, or at least none of the ships I could get a photo of. If it was a navy vessel, it was likely some small auxiliary craft like a water tender or a diving support vessel. Certainly nothing that would warrant a Kalibr in my eyes.
Praying for the Ukrainians, have grown to hate Russians so quickly. Had hoped for the general population to see sense but they are beyond hope..Good luck to them living in that kip under heir Putler.
Just on the Odessa attack! RTE news certainly backed what the scum said in its coverage as in they hit a military ship. It looked like it had gun turrets. Not that it was in use, but?
Anyone have more info on this?
Of course the UN is not a country. But whatever it is, current events have clearly demonstrated that it's no longer fit for purpose.
I dunno - a lot depends on continued support from the 'west' in terms of equipment & intelligence. Plus sanctions and soft power leveraged on those who might support Russian ambitions.
Russians have a good strip along the east of Ukraine but surely are vulnerable in terms of holes being punched in this in places, supply lines & Russian forces cut off. And then a lot will depend on the morale of those Russian forces. Have they the stomach to keep taking orders or would they rather be back home rolling in the arms of Olga.
I wish, hope, pray, and almost expect, that the South falls like a deck of cards.
The Ukrainians deserve it.
If this is what you're talking about it's a lot more than a rumour already
Best of luck to the Ukrainians. There has been suggestions of a big counter attacks for weeks now.
Load of rumours of a counter attack underway in the South.
Awaiting confirmation but some twitter accounts make for interesting reading.
There's nothing wrong in Ukraine a ship-load of Napalm won't fix.
The worlds second best military
