Discussion about Russian invasion of Ukraine

Interesting and it seems more are asking why as more are becoming disgruntled with this pointless war. Like I said many times before, change has to come from within Russia. I don’t know how Putin can justify this let alone talk his way out.

To be honest i don’t understand how he is still there unless all his other government officials are thugs and criminals just like him.
Afterall they got their asses kicked in Afganistan and ran home.
Then again you only have to listen to his mate Sergei Lavrov to understand their intelligence, and he’s an ugly bugger as well :laughing:

He has layers of security that all report on each other directly back to Putin, and he is constantly reviewing and changing his security staff. That’s why he is so impregnable.

very interesting that it was allowed to be aired in that state. While the majority were still arguing to carry on there were a couple of isolated voices beginning to think correctly.

Always makes me laugh when he has government meetings etc he is sat half a mile away from them at the table :laughing:
Obviously trust is not high on the list of the agenda :laughing:

There are a lot of elections going on next weekend apparently. All even more strongly rigged than in the past, in order to prove that people are so happy with the way things ae being run!!!

Russia-Ukraine War. Has Putin’s Top General Surrendered In Kharkiv?

Putin’s replacement will be ‘more aggressive’

Ukraine: police investigate war crimes after Ukrainian troops liberate village

Coup against Putin ‘can’t be ruled out’

Well I think Putin already lost the sense for reality. He managed to surround himself only with people who say “yes” to everything he says. Maybe by now he already believes his own propaganda and nobody around him dares to tell him what is really going on. Just like with Hitler in WWII. Both will take a similiar ending. Hopefully very soon

According to newsweek Ukrainians fighting back in Crimea
‘’ The General Staff of the Armed F___es of Ukraine posted on Monday its daily assessment on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which began more than 200 days ago.

The update, posted on its Facebook page, said that the Ukrainian military destroyed almost 85 percent of Russia’s 810 marine i____try brigade, which is based in the city of Sevastopol in the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula’’

Don’t they like writing along the lines of the pages? Just asking :laughing:

I saw a lot of people writing in such books on media and all of them usually write it diagonally and kind of free style :wink:

Yeah just looked rather strange that was all but much appreciated all the same :+1:

Ukrainians have presented Russians with “multiple dilemmas” across the battlefield, a senior US military official says

From CNN’s Ellie Kaufman and Oren Liebermann

Ukrainians have presented Russian f___es with “multiple dilemmas along the forward line of troops,” a senior US military official said Monday, including where to apply their limited resources after Ukrainians moved swiftly over the weekend to re-capture territory.

The change in battlefield dynamics is “indicative of the reports” of Russian f___es having “low morale, logistics issues, inability to sustain operations,” the US military official said. Ukraine’s military advanced on two fronts: a slower, more deliberate push in Kherson in southern Ukraine and a rapid advance through depleted Russian f___es near Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine.

“We’ve seen the Ukrainians use to great effect the capabilities that they have across the battlefield to change the battlefield dynamics,” the official said. “While again it’s really for Russia to answer the question in terms of why their f___es reacted the way that they did up in the Kharkiv region, it is indicative of the reports that we’ve seen in terms of low morale, logistics issues, inability to sustain operations.”

Ukraine’s advances have f___ed Russia to decide where it wants to move its f___es and how to use them, the official said, a decision which is always challenging in the middle of a war. “It’s a very hard problem to solve,” the official said, and it’s made even more difficult by the sustainment, logistics, and command and control issues that the Russians have experienced since the start of the invasion.

I have been watching this Russian YouTube vlogger for a while now and he has been taking a chance in the things he has been saying. Yes we can read between the lines at his utter disgust at what is going on but he is still taking a chance. If you don’t want to play this from the start then begin playing from 16:30.

This was a LIVE broadcast from a few minutes ago. I guess you could say they had it coming and the real change has to come from within. Even so the loss of any life is terrible.

RUSSIAN HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Explosions in Taganrog, Russia

This is where Russia keeps its AWACS and IL-76 transport fleet aircraft.

If this was indeed a successful Ukrainian strike on Russia’s AWACS fleet.

Crimea may now be untenable as a base for the Black Sea Fleet without airborne radar command post coverage.


Most unsurprising news of the day

Then this

The campaigning and voting periods were marred by multiple v_______ns, according to a report by Golos, a Russian elections watchdog, which cited official intimidation of election observers and unequal access to state media for opposition candidates.

The elections were held over three days, which made them more vulnerable to fraud because election observers could not ensure the security of ballots overnight. Critics also said that online voting made it easier to falsify the results.

I totally agree as this was coming. But with Ukraine’s advances we will see what happens next in those areas.

This has really got me wondering how or what happened. If this was a strike it begs the question what exactly was used? Taganrog is a long way from Crimea and because of its location in the South with a large part of Ukraine still under Russian control to the North then what the heck could they have used?

The HIMARS Ukraine received are not long range unless… they actually have received long range. I doubt it though because it would change the direction of the war and especially what Putin would do. Even Excalibur doesn’t have the range required to hit Taganrog. It only leaves Ukrainian operatives inside Russia. We seen what happened in Moscow not so long ago.
