They are just randomly flinging missles at Kiev no method to their madness, just firing at a City and hoping they hit something
Nonsense,this is revenge for the kerch bridge,nothing else
We have seen the same pattern before
Those Russian troops are not ready before another 2 months atleast if they want them trained to basics atleast.
Oh and your link is not a very valid site
Where's Greenpilot,
Rumours Russian aviation has switched off all transponders.
He will be a lame duck after November. The election cycle focus switches to 2024 and he will NOT be running. If he was playing an absolute blinder the war would not have started.
Seen on reddit, so pinch of salt....
Zelenskyy has been evacuated to a bomb shelter and will address the country later in regards to an ultimatum from Putin.
Bomb shelter thing I believe, ultimatum, hope just random rumours from twitter. Suppose it happens when a city gets bombed.
Edit: more missiles incoming.
Take that to the Biden thread. "It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt."
The attacks on Kiev are reminiscent of the Nazis using V weapons towards the end of the war. Nasty for the civilians but won't make a scrap of difference to the actual war
Yeah, 'lame duck' is a political phrase that has long had real meaning.
It certainly doesn't apply to a president who has control of all three branches of government.
Oh dear, you seem to have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed this Monday.
I would suggest retreating back there until the after-effects of whatever you consumed this weekend have worn off.
Even if he loses both houses, he can run again in 2024 and not be a lame duck. The Putinbot is doing the 'proof by blatant assertion' that's all they have.
New Russian leadership of the SMO seems to be taking a much more ruthless approach to matters than Shoigu
Electricity generation and rail infrastructure being hit all over the country - is this US style shock and awe? Bomb Iraq Ukraine into the stone age and then move troops in?
i.e. precisely what they did in Syria. Quelle surprise.
This is a PR exercise for Russian domestic consumption.
The simple truth is Russia is a terrorist state led by a murderous dictator that has invaded a smaller neighbour. They have raped and killed innocent civilians and committed numerous war crimes. That is the truth laid bare. All your reasonings that you put forward now is to try and excuse that truth. You and a few others have been putting forward this crap since the beginning of the invasion, it has been rebutted beyond doubt but that doesn't stop you repeating it every few weeks.
No, it won't be apartment blocks, but surely there would be discussions about hitting military targets within Russian. But as mentioned above there are also options for other countries, expelling diplomats and addressing the farcical situation at the UN.
Are these been launched from Russia or where? Could he essentially do this all winter without even 1 additional soldier entering Ukraine? We know he has no regard for life in any way so could this be his new approach?
Watching the RT clips yesterday, you get the sense that Russians are being prepped for a policy of genocide in Ukraine, as if to say Ukrainians, who were neighbours and cousins at the beginning of the year, are now lost to the West. There was almost an air of excitement, as the panelists discussed flooding Europe with refugees. You can shrug it off as mindless agitprop but it's disturbing to hear such vitriolic spewing even from these impotent fools....
Truth is not that simple.
They are being launched from as far away as the Caspian Sea.
No, he couldn't do this all winter. Missile stocks are finite (and the sanctions mean they can't just restock).
This is a primarily a PR stunt. It will backfire as it will hasten the delivery of new weapons systems to Ukraine.
You are reduced to name calling.
Sounds very much like fake news again. What's the ultimatum supposed to be? Surrender unconditionally or we nuke Kyiv at midnight?
Okay, to play your game - facts are that simple.
It is a fact that Russia is a terrorist state led by a murderous dictator that has invaded a smaller neighbour. They have raped and killed innocent civilians and committed numerous war crimes. That is the facts laid bare. All your reasonings that you put forward now is to try and excuse those facts. You and a few others have been putting forward this crap since the beginning of the invasion, it has been rebutted beyond doubt but that doesn't stop you repeating it every few weeks.
Usually they are launched from the Russian side of the black sea or air launched from the same area or Belarus,
I've seen claims of 75 launched and about 40 intercepted by air defenses , but I'm seeing cruise missiles flying over Kiev and no anti aircraft fire
Going by Russian prropaganda the "neighbours and cousins" bit was in play when their stooges ran Ukraine, since 2014 it's been very much downgraded and only really in play regarding Donbas. The same spin has labeled the rest of Ukraine as nazi gay liberals backed by NATO and the decadent west.
Yes to this:
Biden has handled the situation brilliantly. Russia thought he and the west were weak, but the tables have been turned now. Biden has managed to strengthen NATO, back Ukraine and still not be drawn into direct conflict with Russia. It has been a huge achievement by him personally.
And this is why Russia Will never win in Ukraine.
The people
It isn't, but the realities tend to be.
Would European cities be under missile attack as we speak if Russia hadn't invaded? No.
Would Russia's industry and her economy not been decimated if Russia hadn't invaded? No.
Would energy concerns been an issue if Russia hadn't invaded? No.
Would tens of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians be dead or injured if Russia hadn't invaded? No.
Would millions of people have been displaced if Russia hadn't invaded? No.
Would NATO have grown if Russia hadn't invaded? No.
It's a very long list and there's a singular factor behind it all. Plus if this was a plan by the US to bleed Russia it seems to have been an obvious one and yet Russia jumped into the trap with both feet. If Russia had "just" invaded Donbas after some back and forth ballsology in the UN, like the US with Iraq, chances are they would have gotten away with that a lot more easily, but again they jumped in with both feet and screwed up there too.
Clearly Ukraine can't overtly send missiles into Russian cities at present. However they can mount 'special operations' and disclaim all knowledge - the Crimean airbase and Kerch Bridge plus various factories that have gone on fire elsewhere. They could potentially do this anywhere including devastating bombs on Russian commuter trains and the like. The Russian regime must realise that nowhere is safe and protected fully. Very hard to defend against operatives who look like and can speak like ordinary Russian citizens.
Have you taken Bakhmut yet? Does it not concern you that even with your best troops and equipment, that you've been unable to take it?
Clare Daly talking with Pat Kenny right now.
She is agreeing that Putin is as bad as the dictators.
Wants to follow the Mexico proposal - dialogue and peace.
A negotiated peace settlement, is not rolling over apparently.
She seems to labour under the illusion that Putin will honour the "negotiated peace settlement" he puts his name to and do as the Ukranian people wish. I will be polite and simply describe her as naive.
I'm disappointed in Pat. He isn't challenging her on her voting record - in our name don't forget with her there as an Irish MEP.
