The drone strikes are encouraging, I've always thought the only way the Ukrainians will get leverage is to strike Russia in Russia, the only way to create jeopardy for them. It was a horrendous disadvantage to have you own country crippled and living in fear while the enemy remains relatively safe at home.
I love when people start talking about encirclements and cauldrons.
Other than Mariupol at a very early stage in the war, when has either side managed an encirclement of any appreciable size?
They're fighting to defend their nation and their people. As soon as they withdraw from Bakhmut then another string of towns, villages, and cities will become the front line.
Thankfully it's not the same kind of situation as Mariupol where they were surrounded with their backs to water and Russian ships.
Hopefully they see sense and just get out to fight another day.
Bakhmut about to be encircled - why have the UA troops not been pulled out yet? Twitter is on fire with videos and reports from soldiers. Very narrow time gap now to get the remaining forces out and regroup further back. I can't understand the logic here, history shows time and again politics/idealism in situations like this only loses you your forces. Madness they haven't been pulled out already.
The 14th is effectively meaningless: Wizz Air have to give cancellation notice so they're not required to refund passengers. The notice period happens to be a minimum of 14 days.
Scum.
Russian heavy bombers and ships are on the move over the last while,
Expect to hear of a large attack on Ukrainan infrastructure and civilian populations by the morning
And ........
They have regularly promoted and moved others aside it's nothing new
Last Sunday, President Zelensky fired his general by the name of Eduard Moskalov, who led Ukraine’s joint forces and was appointed to the post in March of 2022. There is as yet no reason given for the abrupt firing, but in all likelihood it has to do with Ukraine’s struggle to retain Bakhmut. Combined with the purges at the end of January, this would suggest that all is not unified within the Ukrainian political power structure.
Bakhmut District. After regrouping, the troops moved to re-attack in the South-West direction. The dynamics of fighting in this area is very high. The situation of the troops became complicated again. - Reinforcements on the way. But the question is what to do next...
Nice map. Situation not so nice.
The claim of 1500 Russian peace keepers are the only Russian forces in Moldova is definitely the biggest joke going,
In 14 days Hungarian airline wizzair is stopping all flights to and from Moldova over security concerns,
I get the feeling something is going to change in Moldova on the 14th
Seems absolutely crazy that Air Moldova had/has direct flights to Russia. It's like the ferry company for Crimea bringing in the little green men in 2014...all over again.
That arms dump is just 1km from the border with Ukraine. The dump was created by Russia after the fall of the USSR for the day when Russia could launch their take of Ukraine, Moldova for a greater Russia. No soviet states but an enlarged Russia.
This is some crap history that's being witnessed here. A rabid dog financed by Germany now emboldened and out of control. Hopefully there's someone to put it out of it's misery for it's own sake and the rest of the world.
This could be interesting....
sound familiar?
Good account to follow.
More on Russian/Irish spy Maria sologub,
No vetting involved for her time working in the Dail or with senators I'm surprised by that one ,
Hairy situation.
orcs lie and decieve all the time, they will never admit to such an disaster.
That's a pity.
Looks like US jets are definitely off the table unless something changes significantly.
Consider it dropped so .
Until something changes.
Ahh ffs, at this rate od conversation I'm going to go to Belarus and wreck that plane with my hurl just to end this conversation lol.
Claims that the big ammo dump has been mined. If they think that's going to stop UA forces from piling in to lend a hand if they stage a coup and try to fly in reinforcements via Chisinau airport, I suspect they are mistaken.
This is the concensus so far ,
I'm definitely not seeing scorching or evidence foam was used to put out any fire on or near the aircraft
@Bitcoin today we've seen attacks on Russia, mainly oil refineries 430 km away from Ukraine and seen the photos , videos and various reports from the scenes ,
But nothing from the destruction of a 250 million dollar Russian aircraft three days ago.
Personally I wondered if the wing discoloration might be from de-icing, notice the clear patches of snow next to each of the aircraft.
More on Bakhmut, not good.
Where
No?
Explain after 3 days of this attack no photos and no videos have been produced,
And why no one has coobroated it , even the Ukrainans aren't talking about it ,
Odd no ?
The best evidence will be if it doesnt fly again
