98 % of vehicles, armor and tanks, IFVs promised are already in Ukraine preparing for the Big counter offensive
230 tanks
1500 armoured vehicles and enough ammunition and supplies to support 9 new divisions ....
Despite various claims about the Ukrainians demanding Western Jets they don't make the top 5 list of what ukraine of what ukraine is actually looking for ,
Worth race reading
You almost sound gleeful.

However Bakhmut absolutely is strategic - a major rail junction, the intersection of 2 motorways and a must-have for either side if they look to push further into the others' territory (territory as of right now not pre war obviously).
I agree that Bakhmut is strategically important, but probably a good bit more so eight months ago when Russia started to really assault the town. They nearly could have built their own road around the town in the time they've taken. But because Russia has taken that long, Ukraine will have had a lot of time to make contingency plans and therefore minimise the strategic impact of losing Bakhmut. It seems to me that if you're going to make advances, it's best if they're as quick as possible to set your enemy on the back foot and really be scrambling to deal with the loss of that territory. That's really not something we can say for the Bakhmut situation, and since the opening month of the war or so, Russia really haven't shown a capability to make rapid advances anywhere. It's all been slow and halting.
it's been known they've used CS gas (on both sides) a while now.... you have alluded to other gasses being used by the Ukrainians at least 3 times now, have you an example of this (even if it's not fully verified, I'm actually interested)?
Apparently not long after it was reported putin was rushed to the Kremlin
Who will replace him I wonder. Hopefully someone pro Ukrainian.
Reports of Erdogan being poisoned after a meeting with a Russian diplomat.

Not just pro Ukrainian,but pro democracy and doesn't keep blocking Swedens Nato membership
It Been widely reported in Turkish media it's a heart attack,
If Russia took out Erdogan you then have an act of war and the Turks could close the Bosporus straight to Russian ship's coming and going, which triggering a NATO article 5
Don't think putin is that stupid
Fingers crossed Erdogan doesn't make it
Terror alarm?? 🙄
My uneducated speculation is that small Switchblade drone was developed for the "global war on terror", the USs counterinsurgency wars (as in) Iraq and Afghanistan. It (IMO) is meant to kill or injure just those people setting up a bomb, ambush or whatever + wreck/disrupt it - no more no less. It doesn't have to be very destructive, in fact that is a disadvange becuase it will just make it harder to use, and far more likely to kill or injure civilians as well. It is not as useful as a weapon for the battlefield during a large all out war between 2 sovereign states.
Why are they giving away the Ukrainian numbers?????
Heads of state usually arrange for minions to meet officials from other countries lower in pecking order than themselves, so I doubt this.
It's been public knowledge for months everything been sent or already in Ukraine was all publicized,
Nothing was kept secret,
If you are here, why cant you answer why you included Ukraine’s use of CS gas (and others) in a sentence with the use of Chlorine gas in Syria. You do realise it’s a false equivalence. One is a clear war crime, the other far minor and nobody will be charged on the Ukraine side for using CS gas.
CS gas can be used in a defensive manner with no civilians nearby. You’ll note Ukraine has been invaded.
So, for the umpteenth time, don’t continue to run away and answer.
There is nothing to believe in the first place bar some nutter on Twitter called Terror alarm.
Some nutter on twitter isn't a "report".
Did you actually read the post,
Its pretty much obvious you didn't....
I'll see you in a few weeks so
I did. Where do you think is you ‘gotcha’ moment?
And even if YOU think Ukraine using CS gas on invaders with no civilians around is a war crime, what other gases were you referring to?
You and others note I’m putting an effort into addressing you and your claims. All your responses are flippant. You’ve shown your true colours and are just a contrarian.
A nutter maybe, but a verified nutter! One of the issues with verified tweets these days. But other than that tweet, there doesn't seem to be any other's making the claim.
Maybe some one more in line with the vision of Kemal Ataturk's secular Turkish state. Which Erdogan has completely dismantled in his own interests. Or maybe the Generals will step in again?
Erdogan administration's centre for combating disinformation denies that he suffered a heart attack
Oh, well...
We the Chinese come in peace..we are your friend ...... and our friends in Russia and Belarus are your friends too
So why would Ukrainans new friend/s be trying to recruit spies
The utter devestation of bakhmut,
I remember saying months ago it didn't seem as devestated as other Ukrainian cities and towns,
Looking at this there's not a lot left of anything,
are you saying you are on dole?
A random twitter post does not make a 'report'.

Erdogan is a little sick and will be retiring from the public for a few days.
Sounds like an explosion near st Petersburg, not much else to go on so far,
