The post (Nr 67265, by JoChervil ) mentions an alternative Govt, formed by Russians opposed to the war, and currently living abroad. Govt-in-waiting, if you like.
Russian army shelled Avdiivka overnight
Well Wibbs, daunting a task as it is, then I guess they will have to be left to themselves, a pariah state, or maybe it will collapse into independent statelets.??? But Russia in its present format, will not work. Who will deal with them at a level that they will need to survive in the present world, business wise?
No, a different one in fact : this report is from the intelligence agencies of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
I think in this case there is justification for a short occupation of Russia in order to remove all nukes and any means of producing them. After that, leave them and isolate them until they decide they want to behave. Years of looking over the fence enviously at Ukraine and the Baltics will soften their cough.
Russian investigation confirms children amongst the dead in a Ukrainian missile strike using HIMARS in an attack near Kherson. I really wish the western media would start to cover stuff like this.
“Russian investigation “
"Russian investigation confirms"... LOL, seems legit
Russian Piece of Sh*t Scum investigation confirms children amongst the dead in a Ukrainian missile strike using HIMARS in an attack near Kherson. I really wish the western media would start to cover stuff like this.
Fixed that for you.
Which translates as Ukrainians will find evidence of genocide of entire communities who disagree with or don't identify with Russian doctrine when the UA army enters Kherson city.
Since when did the Russians start being honest? They broadcast for the gullible.
Sure, good idea. One snag though,,no european / western journalist worth his salt will be allowed next or near any Russian controlled territory...Wonder why???
OK children among the dead because of Ukrainian strikes. I'd buy that. Bound to happen in war.
However, how many children would be still alive if Russia hadn't invaded early this year? Those kids would be still alive for a start. Russia should investigate that. They won't.
The US and Russian defense chiefs spoke Friday for the first time in months but Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he saw no interest from Moscow for broader talks to end the Ukraine war.
Russia have no interest in a ceasefire anytime soon
Seriously, how long more can we, the Western world, stand by and watch putin and his murderous nation rain bombs down on Ukraine! Is it time to launch attacks on the bastards.
I agree on your full reply, thanks for that. This is what intelligent discussion is about. Apparently almost 400 children have died since the Russioina invasion in February, thousands more injured . All of them would be alive and healthy had Putin not given the order to invade.
That’s the best laugh I’ve had all weekend thanks!!!
But but according to Claire Daly NATO and the west aren’t trying for peace with Russia.
Bit hard to try for peace when Russia have no interest.
Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba: Russian lies about Ukraine allegedly planning to use a 'dirty bomb' are as absurd as they are dangerous. Firstly, Ukraine is a committed NPT member: we neither have any 'dirty bombs', nor plan to acquire any. Secondly, Russians often accuse others of what they plan themselves
Dirty bombing next?
Apparently stood on a petal mine.
More on war Gonzo. Doesn't look too bad.
Good stuff he's Lost a few toes..
Hop along gonzo
Burger face .....
Nah just nah
Dramatic footage of the plane crash-
he lost a few toes
I have been worried Russia would go down that road for a while. Its the kind of thing a crazy Russian goon would do
You have misquoted the regime's own report. The Russians claimed four people had been killed (at Antonovsky Bridge) including two Russian supporting journalists, but no mention of any children being killed.
Western journalists have tried, Alina Lipp and Anne-Laure Bonnel to name but two (reporting from Donbass region) , but have been silenced by their western governments and employers. They have been reporting from behind enemy lines, and Anna Lipp had recorded some pretty nasty stuff apparently, but is being muzzled by her own Government as it would not look good for the side they support. We need our press to striving to be better, not restrictive, even if sometimes we do not like the message, we can't tarnish people just because they are not always in agreement with what our leaders would like them to speak about.
In fairness, there does not seem to be the opportunity for journalists to embed in the military like we saw in Iraq for example. The Ukrainian military does not allow western journalists to embed, and this is obvious since the begining. Zelensky is a professional actor, a media expert, he has controlled the narrative from the beginning and has done an amazing job, social media, live video feeds into parliaments around the world to ensure support for his cause. The strategy is powerful but it does come at the expense of transparency. We see all the time about what the Russians are up to, and it's pretty bleak. But we are being denied the opportunity to make more informed decisions as how to more effectively disect this conflict as well as us mere armchair pundits can.
I would never begin a sentence with those words. The two words I begun with might not be palatable to many, and whether it's an investigation with truthful findings or not, that's the term I prefer to use rather than expletives.
I quoted a piece from a Russian media outlet, not the Russian authorities report. The report is linked below, and it says that that children are amongst the dead and injured. I'm almost certain it will be rubbished and maybe with good cause, but as another poster has alluded to, this is a war, so it is perfectly plausible for children to be killed by fire from both sides, as horrible as it is.
Either way, would you not agree that we should be hearing about the circumstances of all civilian deaths rather than the ones at the hands of the Russians?
