Google maps have updated with images of the genocide of Mariupol.
we both registered on the same year, and I have only 1 job and less than 2k posts. Anyway, on other note - is your wife russkaya?
Putin or his doubles see weakness in Turkey controlling the Black Sea.
Four grain ships stopped from leaving Odessa by Russia.
People wonder why Russia wants Crimea. This is why they want Crimea and exactly why Ukraine want it back. Crimea controls which ships leave Ukraine.
Where did I about face to say I thought it was the Russians? A link to the post will suffice thanks.
And you still haven't provided any evidence for your claim that the Ukrainians are using other types of gas grenades:
"Yes among others"
Ah well.....
It should be handed to the UN to control with Nato providing escort for any grain ships leaving Ukraine,
More Russian games
Should. And those were world food program chartered ships.
Russia, two fingers to the world again.
Russia digging their own grave even deeper. Desperately trying to rise the price of corn again. A lot of crops won't be sown in Ukraine this year.
Even themselves in Russia it looks like their may be a deficit of corn for themselves. Labour and machinery and parts for machinery must be having an impact.
It looks like they picked these ships to make a point. They're rattled by the thought of more restrictions of imports.
Hopefully the G7 carry this through and then we can get the UN involved in grain exports from Ukraine.
One of the latest Air defense systems I hoped the Ukrainans would eventually get their hands on is Already in service
Rhemmeintal skynex while not as big ticket as the patriots they are a mature and modem gun system highly mobile too ..
Who ever thought it was a good idea to let Russia dictate this sham in their favor,
This was always going to happen we've seen them in the black sea loading ships with stolen grain and then sailing out of the black sea and med and no one stops them, but Russia can stop vessels from leaving ukraine,
Doesnt matter,really,since Ukraine have the upper hand being the defenders,and yes there have been set traps and kill zones for the russians,because its the only logic thing to do,because they know Russia will take this city no matter the cost.
If its not blowing up buildings,its using JDAMs to take out the buildings,one way or another,its a trap for the Russians.
And even if Bakhmut falls,both sides will most likely go head to head in offensives once the weather improves and then Bakhmut wont be that important anymore.
Which one of them,lol
Possibly Barry ,or tony can't remember which one faked a visit to the front lines
So Saint Petersburg and explosions in Crimea?
Igor or Sergay i would say,they probably go on weekly rotation
Getting interesting this now,there is something brewing
Ok, finally the victory conditions are given from the Americans.
So unless these are all met it's not over with victory/successful negotiation for Ukraine.
How long do you think it'll take for all this to be reality?
Yet again France blocking ammunition being purchased for ukraine unless it's all produced in Europe,
At a hugely critical juncture in this war Just as the Ukrainans are finally preparing to launch a counter offensive someone stands in the way of supplies,and to think some people are crying about the suggestion that the big counter offensive could be one and done if they don't make substantial gains, hard to win a war when you don't have 100% of your supplies and supports to finish the job
Seems Erdogan went down During a tv appearance after cancelling visits on the election campaign....
Funny this should happen just before the elections too
Is Erdogan looking for sympathy from the Turkish people as an excuse to stay in power or was he actually poisoned as rumours has it.
I don't think it was poison, unless it was someone in turkey saying enough is enough of his rule, Putin wouldn't be that stupid,an act of war against against a country whos (A) whos not afraid of you and (B ) who's a Nato member ,
I read a post saying he's fine and only suffered a myocardial infarction,
To you and me he suffered a Heart attack
4 day's of rain for Zaporozhye and then thing's get pretty sunny.
Will they be consitent and insist that everything sold or used in France (including all component parts) are wholly and exclusively manufactured in Europe?
Hypocrites!
Looking at several videos over the last few days in parts they are still dealing with several feet of mud In parts ,some of the roads are essentially mud rivers , hopefully the weather changes make a difference
It's all games for some , friends with china who went from Ardent supporters of Ukraine to ohhh wait we won't allow the purchase of ammunition until we get something out of it , how about peace talks with our new Chinese friends
What rumours? Please don't quote some thick on Twitter.
Fair enough,lets see what the news says later
There will always be rumours and speculations before the actual cause of it comes out.
Have a coffee and relax
Apr 26, 2023 - Press ISW
Russia appears to be continuing a deliberate depopulation campaign in occupied areas of Ukraine in order to facilitate the repopulation of Ukrainian territories with Russians. Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar stated on April 26 that Russia is trying to change the ethnic composition of Ukraine by actively conducting a large-scale resettlement of people mainly from poorer and remote regions of Russia into Ukraine. Malyar noted that the most intensive efforts are ongoing in occupied Luhansk Oblast and remarked that Russia is also deporting Ukrainians and forcibly resettling them in Russia. ISW previously reported on specific instances of Russian authorities overseeing the depopulation and repopulation of areas of occupied Ukraine, particularly in occupied Kherson Oblast over the course of 2022. Ukrainian sources remarked in October 2022 that Russian authorities in then-occupied parts of Kherson Oblast deported large groups of Ukrainian residents to Russia under the guise of humanitarian evacuations and then repopulated their homes with Russian soldiers. Russia may hope to import Russians to fill depopulated areas of Ukraine in order to further integrate occupied areas into Russian socially, administratively, politically, and economically, thereby complicating conditions for the reintegration of these territories into Ukraine. ISW has previously assessed that such depopulation and repopulation campaigns may amount to a deliberate ethnic cleansing effort and apparent violation of the Geneva Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
