Lies again. Are we on day 4 of this BS now?
Do you have a source for this claim? Is it the official Russian position?
So Russian help Syria by bombing ISIS inside Syria yet insist that they shouldn't get Earthquake relief aid? Is that what you are trying to say?
What relevant advantage are you talking about… targets for the enemy?
Skutter pump activated again.
I see WWII history is being rewritten now.
Guess when the lies become so great you just rewrite history eh? Then again that's right out of the Kremlin playbook.
Your honesty is appreciated.
nobody cares
Can't access it on home computer in Dublin. Friend in UK can't either. Couldn't access it in Belgium over the weekend.
10 people have thanked your post even though there are two glaring falsehoods therein. That they don't politely correct you speaks volumes.
Crimea was ceded to Ukraine in 1954 NOT 1991.
As for Russia retaking Crimea in order to block Ukrainian access to the Black Sea. If you look at a map you'll see that Odessa, Kherson and Mariupol are all on the Black Sea.
Not without a sham vote
It's not complicated.
Putin chanced his arm and won't back down, not even to save 100's of 1,000's of lives.
Ukraine have done exceptionally well so far, using the equipment supplied.
It's hardly unrealistic to expect that they do BETTER with MORE.
No I can’t get it through my browser. Only with rumble. Don’t have a vpn.

ROFL Ha ha ha. 🤣🤣

rocky what do you see when you try to access rt.com in a web browser? It's very simple. Others on here are dishonestly trying to say they can access it except they are going through a vpn or rumble. Can YOU access rt.com from a browser? Some people on here are like the little smartarse kid. The teacher tells the kid "Say 'my name is Jimmy'" and the snotty little kid says "Your name is Jimmy" with a smirk.
What is a Ukrainian win btw? For me, a Russian victory is the taking of Donbass, Odessa and the landlocking of Ukraine. allied with the unconditional surrender of Kiev and the fall of the US government there.
Suffice to say, the world needs the US to loose.
What in the hell are you whittering on about. The US government is not in Kyiv and what are they supposed to loose? Loose the purse strings? Loosen what?
Post after post of unfiltered ramblings.
Ah the cost of 1000s of Ukrainian deaths?
You call that solovyov being mental?
This is solovyov being mental!
Guardian yes. BBC yes,
For you, Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson I suppose.
Unless Russia unleashes 100's of thousands of troops. hundreds of aircraft and thousands of tanks OBriens analysys is correct.
What is going on is not the hammer blow that was predicted by some.
From the BBC article linked above by another poster: "Mr Danilov said. "The offensive they planned is already taking place, gradually, but it's not the offensive they imagined."
Not the offensive they (Russians) imagined and not the offensive predicted. Point stands.
What is that cargo? Looks like M113 aluminium coffins but maybe it's something else?
What objective journalism do you watch? As a matter of interest.
Could you tell me how it was you arrived at the conclusion it is objective?
Except for the fact they are all rootin for the US side, that's a wonderful selection. The Guardian? BBC too?
Where are western fighters in significant numbers going to come from? As the man says, you could fit the entire armed forces of the UK in to Villa Park and still have thousands of seats left over. There will be no air superiority for Ukr becausee there is no way to enable that - Nato isn't going to war with Russia.
The numbers of tanks being talked about will enable a armed brigade or two - enough to attack a 30 mile stretch of front. The front is 1000 miles long. Leave aside the fact that for every hour of operation, tanks need 3 hours of maintenance. Gearbox goes and it's shuttle the broken down tank back to Poland for repair. Really?
Ukraine are done, apart from the last juices that can be wrung out of it by the US.
It would be, if it were true. They can rocket the crap out of Ukrainian position, or artillery or airstrike, or missile. Yet they charge machine gun nests.
Sense check that/
Why would Russia attack in human waves when it can simply pound Ukraine from the comfort of mile away. By all means believe someone telling you that, but it doesn't make a lick of sense. Indeed, it's almost as if you've been reading a caricature website or something. Like: thick Ruskkies with commanders who couldn't give a rats ass about their assets.
But not quite so prescient as to "correctly predicted how Russia would loose a war with Ukraine." Russia hasn't lost the war with Ukraine (not to speak of not having a hope of winning it) such as to make the prediction correct.
Well the ISW, as Nuland's husbands project, can hardly be relied upon as a reliable source. Like, Nuland is the pointy end of the 2014 US coup!
Not sure how rolling artillery (attacking), pin point targeting, cutting of supply lines and a host of other activities which cost no losses can't render a defender immobile and incapable of resistance. Such that all there remains is mopping up.
Not sure why "attacking side will always suffer more" keeps getting repeated here. If the attacking side has a significant advantage, it's going to be the defenders who suffer a lot more.
Attacking side will always suffer more than the defenders,Russia have suffered servere losses the last cople of months,since they started human wave attacks and use of barrier troops.
Its been as high as 1000 a day lately
Ukraine has no choice. Russia has shown what weakness reaps and the horrors visited on those under their control, even pro Russians are not immune.
Ukrainian losses are likely high, but attacking Russians will be many multiples. Charging machine gun positions will have that effect.
