    That's just fantastic. Never change Russia; you pack of blockheaded nitwits.

    Kremlin boys: The AFU knew you'd start looking for trucks after they were revealed to be part of their attack plan. They're not going to do it like that again for a long while.

    Instead, they've gone and crippled their own logisitics in response to the airfield attacks.

    It's just…..Chef's Kiss….well played Ukraine.

    The driver is even Vasyl Maliuk, the man who directed the effort.

    Only good thing coming from Istanbul is large prisoner exchange's. Look's like they've agreed to swap all prisoner's between 18 and 25 and all critically wounded. I read something about a 6000 for 6000.

    News said 6000 dead Ukrainians returned unless I misheard?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭brickster69


    A few more details from today's negotiations. Ukraine also handed a list of names for 339 children to be handed back that were kidnapped and put in detention camps.

    "if you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station, the longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be."

    Even is they didn't destroy as many aircraft as they hoped, wouldn't runway damage, damage to airport infrastructure etc. be a massive setback for Russia?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,067 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    If your on the Russian exchange list, do you have to go back?

    I presume your time back in Russia will be limited anyhow

    I guess they can claim asylum?

    6000 dead Ukrainian soldiers.


    A sobering eye opening to the death and madness of this war.

    Even if not outright destroyed if the drones still triggered secondary explosions or fires the aircraft are either going to be out of commission for years if not an outright write off due to damage and warping of the airframe itself. One of the videos shows an exploding drone blowing the engine off the bomber along with the wing collapsing, that's going to leave the vatnik shitheels either being forced to use other less reliable aircraft or being forced to pull remaining aircraft from existing defence postures weaking Vatnik Russia even further. Even at that Ukraine just disabled either long term or permanently 1/3 of the Vatniks Bomber Fleet, that's a huge kick in the balls for Putin alone and could cripple their ability to launch more terror tantrums for months. It will have the bastards running around chasing phantom truck carriers for ages as well putting more pressure on their already stretched and buckling infrastructure.

    The only reason this war is still going is because Putin's a dead man walking if he can't show any for it. Unfortunately for him he failed to learn the lesson of sunk cost fallacy and not quit while he was ahead and because of his refusal Ukraine will slowly bleed him regime to death over time along with spetacular events like yesterdays special decommissioning operation!

    In May, the enemy occupied 449 km² of Ukrainian territory: the worst loss so far in 2025, - DeepState

    Territory losses exceeded 200 km² per month for the first time since February.

    Trump is a **** for gifting them back Kursk and allowing their full focus back on Ukraine. You'd expect continued gains over the summer. Hopefully they don't increase.

    Total bombers lost:

    Ukraine - 0.0

    Russia - truckloads

    Now shag off with your Russian propaganda. We don't care how many fields they claim to have taken, it could all swap again in a week.

    The first satellite image of Ivanovo airfield after yesterday's attack

    At least one A-50 early warning and control aircraft is reported to have been destroyed/damaged

    Confirmed aircraft losses to date: 15!!!

    Looking at the image it looks very badly damaged to me. I think this is the airport where the truck didn't reach it's destination but whatever drones got out hit the most important target.

    I think there's 2 airbases left to get images from but the weather is crap there ATM.

    Full version of the Russian memorandum handed over to Ukraine. The main points of the statements:

    — International recognition of Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya as part of Russia. Complete withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from their territories

    — Ukraine maintains neutrality, not joining military alliances and coalitions. Any military activity by third countries on the territory of Ukraine is prohibited.

    — A ban on the receipt and deployment of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

    — Establishing the maximum number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, disbanding Ukrainian nationalist formations within the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard.

    — The rights of the Russian and Russian-speaking population are protected. The language has received the status of state language.

    — Legislative ban on the glorification and propaganda of Nazism and neo-Nazism, dissolution of nationalist organizations.

    — Refusal of mutual claims with Ukraine in connection with damage from military operations.

    — All sanctions, prohibitions and restrictions between Russia and Ukraine have been lifted. No new ones will be introduced.


    I can’t see Ukraine agreeing to this. No chance of a ceasefire unfortunately.

    It truly warms the cockles of my heart to see you so utterly desperate to change the narrative away from Russia getting their **** caved in this long weekend.

    Under normal circumstances I'd be pointing out how pathetic these kinds of posts are but this time round I want to thank you so much for it. You've unwittingly brought a smile to my face.

    Slava Ukraine.

    This just in, lying Burgling rapist demands of Homeowner:

    • Recognise their living room and kitchen as legitimate property of said lying Burglar
    • Not join a neighbourhood watch
    • Must forfeit all weapons that might be dangerous to said burglar.
    • Must forfeit right to call police in any and all circumstances
    • Forfeit any claim to compensation for damage done by said Burglar.

    And all of that is just to START A CEASEFIRE! Not for a peace agreement. A ceasefire which Russia will almost certainly break the second Putin thinks he'll get away with it.

    I can’t see Ukraine agreeing to this. No chance of a ceasefire unfortunately.

    Would you agree to this? What is Russia giving up for this? I don't want hear that Russia stopping the attacks is some sort of consession. Ukraine has already agreed to an unconditional ceasefire.

    The west better wake the f*ck up here. Its clear. Russia DOES NOT WANT PEACE.

    Putin handed over to be tried as a war criminal should be the demand from Ukraine or his head in a bin bag

    Western leaders in particular would want to wake up and realise that there's no prospect of a ceasefire.

    Putin is obsessed with Russian history and its leaders of the past. He will be acutely aware that his legacy in history is now completely dependent on the outcome of this war. He's 72 now and by the time this war ends with the sheer cost the Russians have sustained to fight it, there won't be any desire nor ability for a repeat it at this scale. Certainly not in Putin's lifetime.

    In Putin's eyes, if he wins this war he will be remembered in the same vein as his hero, Peter The Great. A leader who restored Russia and most importantly, expanded its borders. The prospect of losing will be unthinkable. Not only will he be viewed by future generations as a loser, he could end up dead. Like Tsar Nicholas II.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,098 ✭✭✭Polar101


    Obviously the peace negotiations are just Russian lies - they don't want peace, but have provided an absurd set of conditions they know Ukraine will not agree to. Ukraine knows this too. Everyone else knows Russia doesn't want peace - if they did, they wouldn't have invaded Ukraine. But tomorrow we'll see the vatniks blame "the West" for not wanting peace and leaving the negotiations. And they can keep pretending Russia is a democratic nation who have elections and is open to diplomacy (spoiler warning: they are not).

    The actual negotiations are about the exchange of prisoners and bodies of the fallen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,846 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    He's already viewed by every non Russian worldwide as a loser. Imagine losing your black sea fleet and a submarine to a country with no Navy to speak of? The only thing more humiliating would be to lose them to Ireland. He will go down in history as one of the worst leaders ever. Possibly only Trump to fight him for that crown.

    I thought this was very clever when i saw it. Fantastic work by Ukraine in the long term planning of that operation.

    I have an unsettling sense that Russia might launch a nuclear strike on Kyiv as soon as this Friday

    It's just not going to happen. This war is not going nuclear.

    Secondary sanctions

    Maybe tricky after Trump's tariffs debacle. Maybe better to stick with the named individuals and companies doing business with Russia rather than whole countries.

    It's kinda interesting this whole localised ceasefire proposal. One would imagine that it would necessitate some dialogue and cooperation on the field level even if it were to recover bodies as reported. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Ukrainians have agreed to it yet. But have suggested a further meeting later in the month, were presumably they will give their response.

    A ceasefire by steps?
