I say there also thinking we have to stabilise the front with Russia on the advance before we can launch our own counteroffensive.
Russia gets its share of it as well
Well I think its fair to say he has a lot of previous in terms of helping to sweep as much under the rug as possible when it comes to rapists within his own ranks so not a surprise for me.
Didn't he tell Russian children they should be proud of their Great nation.
Probably should offer the Vatican to Putin as terms if the russian army leave Ukraine.
There is a degree of irony in that. The Vatican probably still has more loot than and other nation....
belarus border with ukraine is sealed as tight as a drum
remember the 800,000 shells that pavel raised the money for, well it seems that he has enough to buy 1 million, they will start to arrive in two weeks
Seems to be a little confusion:
Regardless, it appears they have funds for 300k, the rest can come later.
Do we know where the shells are coming from? I think I read India, but it didn't sound certain.
FFS this sounds like a botched job.
I don't think it's been made public who are selling them.
If it was India, they probably would have sold them to Russia for twice the price, just so they are off the market.
Gives credibility to the idea they were shooting down russian planes for fun. If this equipment wasn't this far forward it couldn't have happened.
I've heard of a NAASAMs launcher being destroyed and also 2.... Patriot Launchers (claimed)
It very well may have been S300 launchers (makes no sense having a missile with a range of 150km+ so close, where the S300 range would be far less and claimed as an S300 in Russian videos)
Is that a good bit? 3 launchers or has there been more?
Seems to be over the FAB 500 bombs being deployed, they can go up to 70km distance, causing a considerable amount of damage on Ukrainian lines. I know the pic below this chap is more pro Russian as just have to look at the comments, saying that does give updates on Ukrainian successes when they destroy Russian assaults. If you watch the latest video the 1 below from 2 mins 50 seconds I believe to 7 mins shows videos including the ones above you lot have posted of Ukrainian AA systems being destroyed over last few days, there is videos of the drone footage of them being destroyed but I don't know the AA systems he's saying them are CORRECT, I presume so but if you get a chance shows more over last few days. Other videos few days ago showed other systems but a lot seemed to be in adviika direction he was mentioning, was videos of them as well. Apologies if total crap but does seem to be drone footage when he mentions some and shows it.
Former Russian trolls expose misinformation operations
Fire in St. Petersburg airport
We were way closer to nuclear war in 2022 than we might have thought:
And this is a good listen on the subject, Fareed Zakaria on CNN is very good I think, tend to watch his shows
Vlad gets busy
Ukraine Front Line on X: "The Ministry of Defense of Norway reported that the Czech initiative for the purchase of shells for Ukraine increased by 200,000 shells. From 800,000 to 1,000,000 artillery shells for Ukraine, deliveries of which will begin in the coming weeks. https://t.co/zWsq5Bx9Nv" / X
Maybe they are live streaming the latest episode of curb your enthusiasm from the Kremlin ?
That's his midnight rent boy delivery.
Sea Baby?? Heh
Speculation that the French have ultimately had enough of the orcean activities in Africa.
a bit of good news, this is outside of the already announced funding
Азов South on X: "❗EU countries intend to transfer a total of €21 billion in military aid to 🇺🇦 in 2024, Bloomberg citing Deputy Head of the European Commission Dombrovskis According to him, the European Commission will provide 🇺🇦with €4.5 billion by the end of March and 1.5 billion in April https://t.co/cazJgy9Xys" / X
France have a big presence in Africa ? All I know is that they were in Algeria
Ah no, they have their fingers in more African pies than that. A good deal more. Google?
They had a very significant presence in West Africa - there's even a word (in French) for the region: Françafrique. France maintained strong military ties until very recently, when local militias and heads of state decided they wanted to be rid of the last vestiges of the colonial yoke. Naturally enough, they sought help from/were encouraged by everybody's favourite sponsor of Peace and Goodwill to All Men, a certain Vladimir Putin (& Co.) It was quite bizarre to see - only last year,in Mali - black Africans proclaiming their love for Russia in helping them fight against a white European former imperial power.
France still has four military bases in West Africa - Sénégal, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon and Djibouti.
United Nations expert is saying that Russian armed forces and associated groups systematically use torture in occupied areas of Ukraine, which points to a “deliberate policy”. Alice Jill Edwards the UN special rapporteur on torture, said there were about 103,000 open cases related to war crimes and crimes against humanity, of which 90% were registered as torture cases.
20 Days in Mariupol takes the Oscar, good speech !
Thoroughly deserving of it. Excellent documentry.
