Since Moscow claims that all of Ukraine is rightfully theirs, where exactly are Kyiv supposed to withdraw to? Honestly, if someone could actually slip a few nukes through Russian air defences (which seems a fairly easy proposition given the success rate of UAF drones), it might just be for the best.
''Putin also questioned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's legitimacy and said signing any agreement with him would be legally " impossible"
In other words, don't hold me too it, not worth the paper it's printed on .
Mod - please read the forum charter. Other posters and moderation are not the topic, you are free to put posters on ignore if you wish.
The ISW's latest analysis makes for some interesting reading
Team that went 2 kyvi last headed by
o driscoll who aligns with pro Russian vance told Ukraine they had no chance
It's seems rubio is on another team both pulling different sides
America is a bad actor now its more Ukraine fighting a war on 2 fronts
Ukraine drones paying a visit to grozny today
Same. The irony is you're more likely to get a ban for trying to discuss how to keep the thread as a genuine discussion forum than you are for copy and pasting dubious information from discredited sources and then refusing to engage in discussion. Further irony being that never has the world been more aware of the abuse of social and online media for spreading of disinformation. So I'm not going to bother. It's not like it hasn't been flagged as an issue for over a year on here. The poster is clearly just putting out his info, not engaging (therefore he can't say anything offensive in the heat of the discussion) and scrutinising posts so he can report as many people as possible. The report function is a joke.
Mod - warned for breach of forum charter
..
I got a 24hr thread ban last week for calling out one of the long winded Vatnik posts as BS.
so go figure…
Mod - warned for discussing moderation on thread
Ive flagged numerous posts for exactly those reasons.
If enough people flag these posts then maybe mods will act.
Poster is a complete shill and it devalues the thread.
I'm ok with knowing how foggy the war zone constantly is, we're seeing a real person spending over a year tracking the non takeover of a small town in Ukraine, it keeps them occupied and constantly embarrassed.
I hope Boards.ie get brought down for platforming Russian disinformation. There's absolutely zero upside in allowing it other than cash.
Blood on your hands Boards.
Yeah, agree.
Is there nothing boards.ie can do? Their website is being used to post messages promoting an illegal war, genocide and the murder of innocent civilians. As you correctly point out, it is not "discussion" as they do not react to other posters.
It may well be that the poster is not even in Ireland, they could be on a bot farm in Russia or even just be an AI character. But potentially it's something the Guards can look into, check the IP address etc. For example under the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act ?
Paid advertising generally needs to be disclosed, so too should bot farm output. For example, if I kept posting advertisements for a particular product or brand, I'm sure I'd be banned pretty quickly. It's a discussion board, not an advertising or propaganda board.
you'll be waiting for an answer from Orwell road
that’s what Vatniks do…
the lowest of the low scum of the Earth.
I don’t usually comment on this thread but as a daily reader, it amazes me that the constant bad faith posting by that person is allowed to continue unabated. Absolutely no interest in discussing anything, link dumping from a range of dodgy sources and twitter accounts and refusing to engage in any discussion or answer any questions put to them in response to their own posts.
Ukraine controls high rise buildings in Pokrovsk and is fighting south of the railroad. This is important in preventing Russia using it for logistics.
In Myronohrad, Russia now controls the south but Ukraine executed a successful withdrawal from the South which tricked Russia into thinking there was a full withdrawal leading to them attacking the north and being cut down by machine guns.
Absolute scum.
The Ukrainians should tell the Americans to go **** themselves and throw everything at the Russians.
@brickster69 any comment on this? what’s the rationale?
Nazi’s transporting chemical weapons to the front?
GAZ Group, one of Russia's largest carmakers, is struggling with a serious staff shortage.
A four-day workweek has been introduced at the car giant, which is one of Russia's largest industries, which has lowered wages and increased the workload. Wages cut by 20%. Thousands of workers leaving because wages are too low.
Mechanics, electricians, welders and plumbers are now leaving their jobs in Nizhny Novgorod, reports the Moscow Times."We can't live on these wages anymore. Many of us have to find other work, otherwise we won't make it," a factory worker told the Telegram channel Mash.The introduction of the four-day workweek in July has cut wages by about 20 percent and triggered a rapid outflow of staff.Equipment is being left without maintenance, which further hampers production.

The crisis at GAZ and AvtoVAZ (which also also introduced a 4 day week) threatens Putin’s entire industrial machinery and risks further delaying production in an already weak economy.
The Russians killed a woman and her child just for the craic last night
Brother Bricky! You are not supposed to show your hand by called it an “SMO”. Now people will see you as a supporter of the Russian Federation, or as we affectionately called it, the “RF”
Quick! Call the Russians “Orcs” or something. Or better yet; somehow explain to everyone why it is ok for Russia to bomb children in their beds! So, how about it?
I don't think the Ukrainians have much belief in anything Trump or putin might say at this stage. Their efforts to disarm putin's terrorists continue:

**** all it sounds like
I hope no-one is naive enough to believe that Russia wants peace, or will sign or honour any "agreements".
I am curious to what Trump and his team agreed in Anchorage.
So once again it's Russia that doesn't want peace, at least you know too now bricky.
You can call it a war now btw, nobody is buying the 'SMO' stuff.
Deputy foreign minister Ryabkov stating no concessions on the root causes of the conflict and goals of the SMO. All negotiations will be discussed on the basis of the agreement reached in Alaska.
The precedent Trump is setting is extremely destabilising. The notion this will be Putins "last territorial demand in Europe" is just as delusional as when Hitler promised it in the Munich Agreement.
Separately but relevant to the war, Brent Crude has dropped to $61. When the war started it was $137. In the 1980s, it started at $73 during the Soviet war in Afghanistan and fell to $37, which brought them to the negotiating table.
Ive heard that Trumps sanctions on the Russian oil forced Russia to sell Urals at $37 recently. Mentioned on the Silicon Curtain channel on youtube.
Trump does have a point that Europe shouldnt be buying Russian oil and gas. France has also reportedly resumed uranium shipments to Russia for reprocessing, 3 years after they were stopped.
Germany has stopped buying Russian gas at least directly. There is a problem with Indian refineries refining Russian crude and exporting it globally. The port of Jamnagar needs to be sanctioned as Newsnight showed its involvement in this.
Reports Russian fake AI videos portraying Ukrainian defeat.
Ukraine is being treated like a Soviet satellite country.
