Ukraine continues to successfully hit behind lines Russian logistics positions with advanced western tech. So long as they do this Russian battlefront gains should be mitigated.
Worry appears on the Belarus front were training exercises are now occurring with thousands of new Russian conscripts. Once again the Russians could attempt to capture Kiev by a surprise crossing of the Belarus-Ukraine border in massive force.
My friend's partner was over here for dinner at the weekend and I now have a cool stamp of my own:
Macron doesn't like or support Putin, he's used as a European device to be able to communicate with Putin and get a read on him. That's the grim reality of geopolitics, or Real Politik. If it wasn't Macron it would have to be someone else.
The British pilots discovered that they could fly alongside them with the wing of the Spitfire just over the wing of the missile and flip it over with air turbulence..
Just dictatorship/autocracy-things!
I read that RTE article linked earlier and there's a big photo heading it up of what looks very, very like one of the little delta-wing Iranian drones buzzing civilians in Kyiv, but the Grand Poobah's foreign minister in Iran denies they are supplying Putin with weapons.
Also there was reports last week that Ukraine have destroyed a number of bridges close to the border of Belarus. So if they do try to invade they will slowed by this.
Unfortunately Putin can choose to hit easy targets and murder plenty of civilians and has no problem now in just flattening places . While other countries are supporting him things look like getting a lot worse with no sign of anybody taking him down and out .
It's Russian ruler's goto instinctive way of dealing with the world and has been for a very long time.
Putin at the end of last week: no more indiscriminate attacks against Ukrainian cities.
Three days later: more indiscriminate attacks against Ukrainian cities.
Why do they even bother with the lies?
That was also when Russia had illusions about taking over the whole country intact and installing a puppet government.
Approach might be a bit different if the main goal is destruction, chaos and sending millions more refugees towards Europe as "punishment"
I seem to remember the drive to Kyiv has been tried before, and it didn't go very well. That was when Russia was still at "full strength", and Ukraine wasn't very well prepared.
Why am I not surprised. The Russians do like to take inspiration from the original of the species nazis alright.
Such attacks are horrifically effective psychologically against civillians. Hopefully history repeats itself and putin is in his wonder weapon stage and the in a bunker with a revolver stage is closer.
And they are all from which school of acting?
It's not a war any more its a nuclear state lead by a despot reigning terror on innocent civilians.
Europe has to do more Poland's next
Yep even guys shooting from their apartments...
I meant as a proportion, not as a whole.
looks like it
I was just about to ask the same question. This video is from an apartment 700 metres from train station. You have the crackling sounds first and I haven’t worked out if that’s UKR firing at the drone or if it’s coming from the drone. I think it’s the same drone as earlier tweet
Would a Million soldiers take Kyiv?
Doubtful and if they did would they hold it given the cost of men and equipment.
What is the gun fire about? Trying to shoot them down?
I would be much more concerned about massing of troops and tech on Belarus Ukraine border. Very short drive to Kiev from there. It seems that there is going to be serious escalation in the next few days considering urgency with what China ordered their people out of there.
It is absolutely tragic as with every war most of the victims will be civilians, mostly old folk who cant or wont run.
Scary when you don’t know where it’s going to fall and how many are in the sky
Kyiv blasted with drones this morning
Close, it's the external running light circuit likely repurposed to do that, since consumer level drones don't come with many spare remotely operable features.
There was a Russian video released of a news crew, driving following a train over the bridge.....
However they cut to the car crossing the damaged section and didn't show the train following.
If the rail was working, even one way, they most certainly would be running the trucks via rail and not ferry.
well with a very long wait behind a huge volume of trucks.
Shocking fact Ukraine will run out of aircraft before Russia Yes of course they will because Russia has an airforce multiple times bigger than Ukraine,
The gamer also says he's information is unreliable.....
Seems a lot of guess work borrowing from others posts and videos ,
They are July before its repaired,no trains crossing it , everything is coming by ferry
One can live in hope I suppose, if the Russians are not shipping materiel over the Kersk via rail then they're fairly screwed
Interesting video, they're using a light sensor to release the bomb.
