Permanent stationing of Russian troops in Belarus. By doing so, Putin greatly expanded the territory where NATO and Russian troops are bordering each other.
Yet Putin lies and fools his useful idiots about NATO getting close to his borders.
Because it wooden fire.
(I'll get my coat...)
Using hundreds of high-precision missiles against civilian objects of Ukraine, the Horde reduces its ability to hit military objects.
One more wave should about do it. Combined with the strategic retreat, gifting Ukraine with over 500 MLRS/artillery rounds and over 100 anti tank missiles, and Russia's cunning plan takes shape.
Russia is armed with 25-28% of high-precision missiles from the number that it was on February 24 - Danilov
According to him, Soviet-style missiles, such as anti-aircraft S-300s, are still a little more in Russia, but they are already much smaller than they were since the beginning of the invasion.
There was a reporter featured on a podcast yesterday ( the telegraph I think) who mentioned that he had interviewed a Ukrainian man who had previously done his military service. The Ukrainian had suggested that some of the civilian buildings being targeted corresponded to older military installations, ie. Russians using Soviet maps to select their targets.
Not sure how true this is, particularly at this stage of the war, but thought it was interesting nonetheless given the amount of precision arms being wasted on civilian targets.
I could swear I heard him say "Russian catastrophe." Must get my ears checked.
🛰 Poland transferred 150 Starlink terminals to Ukraine. This was reported to the Ministry of Statistics. Terminals were installed in Izyum, Balaklia, Kupyansk and nine other liberated cities of Kharkiv region. The rest of the terminals were transferred to 24 city and village councils, thanks to which they coordinate the restoration of the territories.
No thanks to the angry teen.
French at it again, long tradition of this **** from French companies
My bad...
Targeting civilian infrastructure is part of Russian doctrine, they levelled gronzy and large parts of Syria while some how managing to miss all military targets,they used the same doctrine against Georgia too bombed water infrastructure and electric generation sites
I think you are describing the behavior of a bully. Same medicine should work. You have to hurt the bully, so he avoids you next time
Didn't happen .
That's RAF Fairford
He is threatening nuclear war. If the west gives in he can say 'I want Poland or I'll nuke Warsaw' So he gets Poland. Then 'I want Germany or I'll nuke Berlin'
Where does this end? 'I want to be governor of New York'?
Best to stand up to the bully right at the start: he gets nothing.
In some local news though. Large military transport planes have been landing at Baldonnel every day this week. Definitely an increase. Causes most people out and about to stop and look up. Would love to see one of these bad boys fly overhead one day
The casa aircraft has been daily
Anyone remember her?
German police searched the home of Russian woman Yulia P. She is suspected of glorifying the war on social networks and insulting her. According to media reports, we are talking about Yulia Prokhorova, who gained fame thanks to aggressive videos in support of the war in Ukraine. It turned out that she did not have a residence permit in Germany
They need to get this guy out of the Kremlin asap. He is just playing mind games now. No need for a massive attack on Ukraine for now, and then we will see – Putin | Ukrainska Pravda
Be careful what you wish for, cos you just might get it
I agree with you, but it's not a bit of this and a bit of that....it's ALL of it!!! ( keep that to yourself, mind !!! )
There has been Romanian C-27s coming in in recent days with med evac flights with injured from Ukraine
Putin hinting at withdrawing from Key region. Another 'Goodwill gesture'?
It's laughable really as it comes with these conditions; "Crimea is not part of the talks and that annexed Donbas territory remains under Russian control"
They will be ran out of Kherson just as they have been from many other areas.
Actually on that Brian Maher who was injured in karkhiv flew home on one of those flights on Tuesday or Wednesday I believe
Not getting any traction from anyone,
Leave all of Ukraine and talks can can happen
Not sure how accurate this is, these channels have been making updates as usual today.
The regime are apparently stopping men on the street in Moscow and issuing them with mobilisation papers :
Now that is interesting. Strelkov/Girkin, for one, has been getting away with overt criticism of the authorities for months now.
When all of those ghouls on Russian TV have been talking about "increasing censorship" I guess this is what they were referring to.
What are the odds that this is some working class neighbourhood? Still though, amazing that it has finally come to doing this in Moscow. Putin must truly be desperate to risk this.
It is indeed. Well spotted. You must be familiar with the place too..

Those NGO's are possibly looking for publicity.
Until recently the energy giant owned a 49 percent share in Terneftegaz, a company that extracts gas from the Termokarstovoye field in northern Russia.
They didn't have a controlling interest in the company so are not responsible for what the Russian half of the company chose to do.
Germany recently took over Rosnefts oil refining assets in Germany and have repurposed them to refining non-Russian oil. The Russian government might decide to be lenient and not start throwing Rosneft executives out of 10th storey windows as they have no influence over what the German government does.
That being said, the French cement manufacturing giant Lafarge, is in very deep poo and the executive class there are probably more than slightly worried.
