Some of the pro Russian social media accounts were trying to say that they had succeeded in pushing the Ukrainians back and were now actively trying to encircle the Ukrainian forces ,
Do they not realise the world has watched another failed assault
Narrator: they do not.
There was no way that Ukraine actually destroyed 125 armored vehicles (plus artillery), could it be? Had Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense succumbed to the same unrealistic propaganda claims that we see daily from the Russian side?
And then the videos began to emerge.
Some interesting comments from Zelenzky, and probably more interesting was what he didnt comment on. I wonder if he's changed his position on Russia targeting critical electricity and water infrastructure as not being a war crime and a legitimate tactic now?
It's still a war crime.
In Syria Russia forces bombed over 100 public hospitals,a similar numbers of medical centres, schools,. food markets, standard Russian tactics
Nothing has changed its still a war crime
I guess we will have to wait for Zelensky to confirm his position on it at some stage. His recent position would suggest he has changed his mind or is only willing to call out war crimes being bad in certain situations.
Its not meant for the world at large, who generally know what's going on. It's for the captive home audience. Another great victory for Russian army, who have driven the ukro-nazi's out of Russian territory again.
Depends how long have you actually been interested and following this invasion
I think since they got banned from the Hamas Israel thread last night for some ludricous views and it will start here now, no doubht
The Guardian piece is a bit puzzling. It states that there are 193 UN mambers, yet there were 160 votes for Bulgaria, 123 for Albania and 83 for Russia, which adds up to 366 votes cast.
Not another Grauniad typo I hope!
You vote for the top 3 I think.
Drone skills getting better
Israel has asked the German government for ammunition hopefully this doesn't have a knock on for Ukraine especially if Israel has a protracted ground war
German new program Tagesschau reports on their website that Israel has requested ammunition for warships. If I were to hazard I guess, I'd say we're looking at ammunition for the 76mm OTO Melara guns used on the Israeli Navy's Sa'ar-6 class "corvettes" (more like small frigates, but I digress), which were incidentally built in Germany. All of the other major weapons systems in use by the Israeli Navy seem to be indigenous, and Israel has the capacity to produce those themselves.
If that is the case, it shouldn't affect the flow of ammunition to Ukraine, as that country has no need for 76mm rounds, owing to a lack of warships equipped with the OTO Melara mount.
Germany will bend over backwards to Israel trying rid themselves of WWII guilt
The request was for ammunition for warships apparently.
Yes and drones which they leased to the Germans more details here
I've always been following it. Hence the reason I know how vocal Zelensky has been to the war crimes that have been committed by Russia. As I said, I don't know if he's shifted his position on the acceptableness of war crimes or not at this stage.
I don't think he has .
Funny how vocal a person you are, looking at the hamas thread that you haven't said anything in this thread so far
Is it because you got kicked out of that thread last night
Jaysus a bit mad given how short of military equipment Germany is (vs Israel) and how Germany is up to its neck trying to support Ukraine right now (as the US gets somewhat flaky - which they are far more unlikely to ever be as regards supplying Israel)?
Could they not ask Putin for a few weapons too while they are at it? They have not given or sold Ukraine so much as a cap-gun either I think, so he might be good for something in appreciation?
Unfortunately there is no love for Ukraine in Israel regardless if they elected a Jewish president or not,there was a rumour zelensky was going to visit Israel as a show of solidarity over the Hamas attack
Russia's new supertank
Nice Apache
The Ukrainians have been fighting Palestinians in the mercenary groups such as Wagner on Ukraine soil. Palestinians love Russia and Putin and the military fighting experience he's giving them fighting for Russia in Ukraine.
There'd be no love lost from the Ukrainians to the Palestinians.
Palestinians are not exactly cute little innocent bunnies towards Ukraine.
Since the start of this Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Palestinian military have always shown support for Putin.
The palestinian fighters crossed from Gaza into Israel on Putin's birthday.

John Kirby said today the support for Ukraine is not indefinite and America are coming to the end of the road.
Clearest message Ukraine could be on the end of America bailing out on another country it said it would back until the end.
Very worrying times.
Did he really say that???
Official Whitehouse Press briefing it's a good read....
That's probably due to the fact about half of Israel is of Russia origin 😂
