A lot of Green's would be ex hippies, leftists, socilaists, commies etc... not just here but throughout Europe.
It's a real and present danger to us all.
One of our drivers in work is a Green warrior and speaking to him around the time the war started all he could do was refer to America, "what about Iraq/Afgan/Vietnam" etc... Complete knobhead
Leftist art types with a Russian based slant, well i never...
Delighted to see the public backlash to this misguided piece of graffiti:
"What would people think if a mural featured a rapist and a victim hugging?" co-chair of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations, Stefan Romaniw, said in a statement.
Apparently Bayraktars can now kill tanks.
It's also very easy to shut down from a Ukrainian POV. Use of artillery as demand for supplies grows will limit the airport's use. Targeting of helicopters as they get nearer Kearson will mean the area would be impossible to supply
Mariupol garrison consisted of marines, border guard and azov national guard, not fanatics just determined not to surrendergiven Russian history of treatment of pows
I think that's an inaccurate generalisation. Perhaps some of the "fundie" wing of the party are since they'd have more in common with the likes of PBP/SOL.
The Greenies are busy cheering for Putin, see “green policies” thread here in parallel. Disgusting.
Apparently, with the bridges across the Dniepr down, they are trying to move supplies over the river via helicopter and are using that airport as the drop off point. That's obviously an extremely inefficient manner of transportation and also limited in terms of weight (they won't be carrying any tanks for example). They don't really have any other options at this stage though.
Another plus is that the West has finally woken up and realised that it cannot be reliant on potentially belligerent autocracies for its energy needs. Vladimir Putin has (unintentionally) done more for the transition away from fossil fuels than any Green Party in the world. In the annals of history that will likely be his greatest legacy.
One would have to presume that the Russian state is what's really behind that German protest, not just ordinary Russian immigrants, although some may be there too. No one with an ounce of sense thinks that trade can revert to normal.
Also, the Azov didn't have any easy escape route since Mariupol was surrounded on all sides. The Russians can escape relatively easily, should they choose to do so - at the cost of lost territory, huge numbers of heavy equipment and a massive moral boost for Ukraine. Most of them are contracted soldiers, from impoverished Siberian Republics who are in it purely for the money. No way they'll be fighting to the last bullet, like the Azov did, if they know they can cut and run long before that.
The irony of using a platform of freedom of speech, to protest against your host nations freedom of speech, will forget be lost on these turds.
First off I would not be so fast to have a pop off Germany. This was the country that took on it own reunification at a tremendous cost. To ensure equality it gave parity to the East German mark with the western one. This was a huge costs when all the advice was to swap it at 2 or 3 to one.
On the present offensive I am not so sure that the encircled areas will hold out like Mariupol. In Mariupol you had a the fanatical Asov regiment which fought on for a long time because surrendering without a negotiated surrender was not an option. I am not sure the average Russia squadie will have the same fanatism he know he will not be mistreated and will probably receive better food than he dose at present.
Noticed a few SAM batteries being hit over a couple of days. Might be that Ukraine managed to knock out their air cover in this area, and for whatever reason the Russians are having a hard time re-establishing / replacing it.
They're in some extra trouble if they can't re-establish air cover against the Bayraktars. The Russian-armed Armenians were systematically picked off by the Turkish-armed Azeris in that Nagorno-Karabakh War a couple of years ago, thanks in no small part to Turkish drone tech. This isn't exactly the same kind of fight, but the similarities in tech on each side make it an interesting comparison to look at.
No, people shouldn't be allowed to campaign against fundamental human rights. Also, russians living in the west and supporting Russia should have their visa revoked, that being a privilege and not a right.
The fact we are seeing loads of Bayraktar videos lately while big pause before shows Russia doesn’t have control of air here, those anti radar missiles must have made radar operator an even more dangerous specialisation in Russian military than ammo depo guard.
Should people be allowed to protest against free speech?
if they win the argument then there will no longer be free speech.
must be awesome to live in a free country where protesting doesn’t get you sent to Siberian gulag at best, killed at worst.
Seems like a lot of gains in Donetsk. Maybe the Kherson offensive, wasn't actually the big offensive and it was more spread out.
I also see in the news this morning that Britain will be training Ukrainian civilians in the UK. The Great Offensive may be yet to come.
The regime have never reported a word on any counter offensive, nothing that would shed the regime in a bad light. I'd say they are busy coming up with an excuse when they have to pull back (I don't think that's possible with the bridges out). They can't use the aul Kyiv attack/withdrawal excuse again.
No doubt what ever they come up with will be comical.
Bayraktars causing havoc for russian air defences
This should be good indication that things are not going well
Looks like Russia is buying time to get reinforcements and dig in by proposing peace talks
Some more gains
Seems so,its only the kremlin trolls and the useful idiots that seems active so far trying their best to sabotage their succsess with disinformation,but then again Ukraine have kept it rather silent up untill now as well.
It wont be an easy task for Ukraine,thats for sure,but they seem very motivated and up for the task ahead.
Kremlin media watchers have spotted that the regime is barely reporting a word about the counter offensive on its news and current affairs shows - it may be an indicator that all is not going well for them.
Thats the rumours,and yes like you said they will be cut off.
Seems like Ukraine have mastered the pincer movement in many of their attacks so far
If the Ukrainians have advanced as far as Tomyna Balka as per that map, then the 3 coastal towns west of the Dnipro: Stansilav, Syroka Balka and Soflivka are effectively cut off from the rest of the Russian forces on the West bank.

HIMARS definitely making an impact:
