And the point you are trying to make is?
Nothing about Ukraine these days on Sky News, nor are they releasing any YouTube videos anymore, seems its really gone to the back of most people's minds
Russian MRE 🤢
So it didnt happen or it did happen, really whats your point, it looks like your trying to express a point but what point
We've been talking about it for nearly three years
Are many of the Palestinian supporters supporting Ukraine ?
Why the **** are Russia still in the UN is the point I’m trying to make.
Thats an honest ration anyway, you get what its says on the tin, and there's many Russians who really like Pig Snout ( or indeed any other part either) ..but there's lots of rations where the description on the outside, bears no resemblance to the contents. Actually, what's inside in many cases defies description.
Keyword being further
We have come a long way since these guys were surrounded in Mariupol at start of war
Then it seemed just a matter of days and Russia would win, these were dark days, this for me was the first ray of light
What a change
1930’s trucks!!

Crimea again
They would not have given up Berlin. They supplied it for nearly a year by air to keep it going.

We have another thread where the Israel/Hamas conflict can be discussed
I wonder is that where they got their bizarre taste of food in Berlin like the awful curry wurst
The 1961 Berlin crisis. Kennedy had no intention of starting world war 3. He was relieved when the wall started going up. “A wall is better than a war”.
It's was an amazing achievement. I think towards the end there was a plane landing at Templehoff airport every three minutes.
I think as well to supply coal they use to use planes with a type if bomb door which use to open over a coal yard and literally empty over the yard and return to be reloaded.
They could have probably used a few more back loads but it in the end the Russians gave in from a combination of embargoes and embarrassment
When you get there, broaden your horizons, visit the republics, get the views of the non-ethnic Russians, and see what they think.
How does one say “this is unsustainable” in Russian
Currywurst was "invented" by a woman in Berlin as a means to hide the flavour of the low quality meat they had available just after the war. She actually became very rich as a result of it!
Seems like russia had some minor success storming the Terrikon slag mound near Avdiivka. They drove multiple columns across the front and around the back to the only part with vehicle access and destroyed some Ukrainian firing positions. They got decimated in the process but managed to make the mound contested.
Things are going south for Russia with India who are refusing to pay for Russian oil in Chinese currency

This is very funny

…
Indian refiners mostly pay for Russian oil imports in dirhams — the currency of the United Arab Emirates — US dollars, and a small amount of rupees, if oil prices are above the $60 a barrel cap imposed by the US and its allies on Russian oil.
The UAE Dirham is … pegged to the US dollar and protected by US 5th fleet and US Patriot and other systems
Well I check everyday for developments, no harm that Ukrainian forces have a bit of time and space outside the media glare to get on with what they have to do - eliminate as many Russians as possible till they get back to their own territory.
Fake but funny
Couple of things - 1. It's no longer a novel event. 2. The situation along the lines appears to have become a stalemate for now, albeit a savage one, so there aren't really any strategic developments to report on.
I would say that if there is a big breakthrough made by either side, it will garner quite significant coverage indeed.
We haven't had many reports of Russian business people or military officials or diplomats falling from windows in a while here.
Well here's Mykola Kobrynets an ambassador for pan European cooperation being heart attacked in a hotel room at a summit in Turkey.
In fairness, it's entirely possible for a man of that age to suffer a heart attack that is completely coincidental and has nothing to do with skulduggery.
Having said that, a cynical take is completely understandable.
And then you wonder, if there is foul play, did the Russians assassinate him because he was planning to defect \ share intel.
Speaking of heart attacks
Source is telegram so may or may not be true and I doubt likes of BBC would be able to independently verify not having anyone in country anymore

The Telegram channel General SVR, reportedly run by a former Russian lieutenant-general, declared in a post:"Security officers of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who were on duty at the residence, heard noise and sounds of falling coming from the president's bedroom.
"Two security officers immediately followed into the president's bedroom and saw Putin lying on the floor next to the bed and an overturned table with food and drinks."
General SVR continued: "Putin convulsively arched while lying on the floor, rolling his eyes."
Given other recent news of leading Russian figures' health that ended up being, well, not quite true, we'll have to put this one in the 'hmmm...' pile for now.
But, oh, how it would serve him right.
