Out having a walk the other day. Wrapped up in a hat and gloves. Within 5 minutes I stripped down to a t-shirt. Check the weather on my phone and couldn't believe it was 17 degrees! Long may it last.
1 down.
Kyiv absolutely pounded overnight and this morning.
Was expected after the attack on the ships.
So ?
Shows just how pathetic Putin is. The Russian's accused the brits of carrying out the attack on the ships and then respond by attacking innocent people in a war zone. Putin is so full of sh1t it's laughable.
Exactly.
Ukraine > targets ships, tanks, military targets
Russia > targets schools, hospitals, civilian infrastructure
44 out of 50 drones /missles downed over Ukraine including one shot down over Moldova ,
Makes you wonder how long the orcs will keep this up knowing Ukrainian air defenses have become more effective
What was one doing over Moldova?
Not sure,but there has been an increase in Russian activities lately in Moldova including calls to over throw the elected government and install a pro russian one
Russian army conducted missile strikes at 3 Hydropower plants in Ukraine: Dniprovska in Zaporizhzhia, Kremenchutska in Svitlovodsk and Dnistrovska
80% of customers in Kyiv are without water supply
Partial blackout and water supply cut in Kyiv as result of Russian missile strikes
They won't wipe the black sea fleet out ,but turkey could close the Bosporus straight to all Russian shipping coming and going to the black sea,
The question has to be asked why are these ship's laden with stolen grain are not being intercepted outside of the blacksea
Time for Moldova to invite some US troops in for military 'exercises'. Biden shouldn't make the same mistake twice.
As mentioned above a convoy of 14 ships carrying Ukrainian grain has set sail , despite an apparent russian Naval blockade
Looks like the death knell of the Swiss arms industry. They will sell arms but not if they are going to be used for their purpose.
An interesting thing about Ukraine's air defences is that the clever lot that they are, have recreated the WW2 observer core the UK had - well sort of.
They have created an app which has 3 pictogram buttons - a missile, helicopter and plane. If anyone spots one they just tap the icon and the system pre-alerts appropriate air defence groups to be ready. I'm not sure where it gets the direction part from, probably from the locations of a couple of reports. Apparently at least two kalibr cruise missiles have been downed with manpads as a result of people allerting via the app.
Balance-
Moldova condemns in strongest possible terms Russia's continued aggression against Ukraine. The appalling strikes on critical infrastructure reverberate beyond Ukraine's borders and pose a direct threat to Moldova's energy – and human – security
And yet have zero ability to stop russian weapons being launched from their territory
Regarding the strengthening and diversification of Ukraine's military, I'm seeing positive signals everywhere.
I get a strong sense that Putin has been told "here's how it is, but we won't meddle with your internal politics".
Usurpation taking place
I don't think Russia would risk it's navy ships getting close to Odessa for fear of being attacked by aerial and sea drones. I'd say they will just launch drones and missiles and attack the grain storage and port facilities unfortunately.
And this is the bastard that some poster's on here want to have ""Peace " talks with???? There's only one way to talk to Putin, and that's when he's crawling on the ground, and the boot is on his neck. anything else is a waste of time.
Who's keeping count of supposed stocks remaining?
The Hindustan Times 😏
The only way to deal with the Swiss is to hit them in their pockets. That's what they understand - money, banking & other hard assets. After that tourism.
Be interesting to see how fixed their neutrality really is, if push comes to shove. Isn't manufacturing military equipment quite at odds with their neutrality for a starter.
Russia making an absolute mockery of Moldovan independence. Obviously another country they consider part of Russia.
It would be in the interests of Europe and Ukraine to supply air defense systems to Moldova.
Quoted poster will soon be along to tell us that Ukraine needs to negotiate or freeze or we'll all be nuked etc. Or that Russia is going to get angry soon and so on.
