We can only hope this unjust war ends soon.

well their faces are out there now. if they are found there's surely a handy tree and a rope nearby.

Wait, what? The glorious story of Chornobaivka is not over yet? No matter how appalled by my warmongering country I am, I also can't help feeling embarrassed by incompetence of our army.

that's still a thing? i remember the ukrainians blowing up the place for a second time after the russians had just cleared the rubble and brought in new gear after the first strike. like 2 months ago.
if it's funny the first time it's always funny!

that happens, when you let monkeyZ drive a tank

ровно 0, а теперь выйди с треда, ватан

There's definitely botting from both sides, would be silly to deny that. In what proportions - that's another question.

because russian army is losing it's head
but to be serious, doesn't someone mentioned here, that their ammunition is usually stored in the turret ring, so if the tank got hit and the ammunition explodes, the head makes a nice pop

To give you some information
Belgium almost 2 months ago had a 3 week period where whoever wanted could organize actions to raise money for Ukraine.
On a population of 11.5 million, it raised 24.8 million Euro in total.

I am optimistic about this. The new Ukrainian fundraising initiative United24 collected 25 million dollars in its first week.

That was pretty nice, thanks for sharing :)

You mean the 2S19 and 2S35 Msta.
Nice piece of equipment but as with all equipment it is only as good as its weakest link.
It's no secret that the Russians are using mostly "dumb" munitions ( lack of budget, corruption and let's just call it how it is inferior tech)
I have a lot of faith in the Ukrainians using their equipment effectively compares to the Russians who have made too many to count strategical blunders. Blunders that are easy to cover up when fighting Syria, Chechnya or Georgia but not so much when you are fighting the West's tech.
Excalibur rounds may cost 112K Usd per unit but have a 92% accuracy report which makes them very deadly in capable hands.

You are right self propelled artillery is easier to move around and reposition in a battle zone.
The reason that the US/Ukraine haven't picked for example the M109 self propelled artillery is simply due to the fact that NATO standard equipment takes time for the Ukrainians to learn, time they don't have to waste at the moment. Towed artillery is easier for Ukrainians to become proficient at using in a short period of time.

At the moment the West is still in the phase of providing resources to Ukraine to help Ukraine stay afloat however they are ramping this up to more and more NATO war winning equipment.
Started with Nlaws and Javelins to slow/stop Russian advances to now more gear to start counter pushes to get the Russians out of Ukraine.
Just look for signs of the ongoing transition to NATO standard hardware in the coming weeks/months delivered to the Ukraine.

Complete failure. I think this is the ending people want to see.
I've been monitoring the planet long enough to be convinced!(๑•̀Θ•́)و✧Yup♪
Well, I guess the only way to be sure would be for everyone to press the scan button.🔎🐛

you mean like Putin didn't care about consequences when he invaded Ukraine?
there is only one culprit and if you don't want to see it, i'm sorry for you

Westem?
Under these circumstances, Russia is dependent on overland supplies.

The reality, however, is such a situation.
The Middle East is also making a lot of noise about the fact that Russia has acted like a declaration of war.
The situation is more imminent and irreversible for Russia than anticipated.
It has destroyed its own routes for landing and transporting goods from neutral countries.
The economic blockade and nationalization of the Russian people is accelerating, draining and exploiting their vitality.
The traitor in Russia is probably the government itself.
It is natural to assume that these are also problems due to the mobilization of Syrian mercenaries of Russian forces in Ukraine and the lack of control due to the depletion of manpower on the Syrian side.
A year from now, Russia may be off the map.

Any coup as Q already said would lead just to another of his supporters or someone as bad as him taking over even if opposed.
KGB and Kremlin is filled with power hungry psychos who would do anything to be able to control the amount of resources and power the government has now. Its perfect place to grow their own personal empires, wealth and influence. None of them care about the countries well being. Everyone has their money outside of the country.

Its rotten to the core. Of course I agree, some purge of government never will happen. But coup wouldn't change anything either.

It would be better to have them be part of another country's territory anyway, if only to call "Putin dead" and attach "new Putin" over the people.

If it is the Russian people who are the "serfs" of the "Russian government," and if the government plays the Russian Empire as an anachronism, then it would be better for the people of Russia to be the "serfs" of the "Russian government," than for the people of Russia to be the "serfs" of the "Russian government" and to try to do the work of governing the country.
📝Крепостное право в России

It would be much more humane to have people from other countries as officials and governments, rather than trying to govern the country as Russian citizens.

They (Putin, oligarchs, or government agencies, etc.) are simply repeating the composition that denies communism, in which royalty and czars seize power and exploit the people.
Even the military has lost over 30% of its ground troops deployed to Ukraine due to unreasonable and unworkable orders.
Thirty percent means fighting eight hours a day, 24 hours a day in three shifts.
What would happen as a reality if that means fighting 24 hours a day in two shifts at 12 hours a day?
If the opponent is the same, you would win.
With unstoppable reinforcements, it is unrealistic.

The troops on the ground can no longer afford to rest, and if they do not withdraw at once, they will be in a state of collapse.
However, if there is a ceasefire and these troops and soldiers return to Moscow, the revolution will take place as it is.
In other words, Russia now seems to be like a dying old man with dementia who keeps prolonging his life by increasing the number of external enemies.

The Russian people need to make efforts to hasten that period.
It should be resolved before there is no place on earth left to lament the worst.

What are you talking about? There's only AZOV in Ukraine. No army, no police... Every man with a weapon is called AZOOOOOV by russians /s

Russia will probably play it out along the lines of "these were evil nazis supporting hitler and making nuclear weapons to drop on poor Russian soldiers, so we had to kill them all with our peaceful intentions"

This is like a bad take on Futuramas Benders joke.

View attached image.

Yeah, sadly we know a fair trial wont ever happen. Corruption and basically dictatorship of Putin wouldn't bring anything fair to the trial. They would make up some theater of "dictatorship" and just murder everyone over falsified proof. And you can't even rely on people to ask for fair trial - they have been zombified to think everyone who is not Russians are evil. And Ukrainians are supposedly the root of all evil in their eyes.

All abusers say that line. "I prevented the worse from happening", "You made me do it".

Which law? Publicly humiliating POWs is a violation of the Geneva convention. Russia does it and Ukraine does it and both should stop. It's disturbing, dehumanizing and disgusting.

In fairness, Slutsky may also be alluding to alleged war crimes taking place in Donbas over that past 8 years, but regardless, as a negotiator it seems like a fairly stupid and counterproductive thing to say if you're truly interested in coming to terms.

I think its the eyes.

I love how she says that the West is so hostile towards us.
She says it like she really means it, as if she is totally surprised by it.
Oh well
Slavia Ukraine!

Great man! Have a good day.

Shame he dragged the country down with him =(

Had a goal of halving the potential border with NATO ---> NATO border will be increased x2.

If the border has increased, then we need to look at what will happen on the territory, since all the exercises have already been held, including Sweden and Finland, or have we already forgotten about it?

Wanted to Demilitarize Ukraine ---> Ukraine is flush with weapons now.

It is littered with scrap metal. Old and outdated stuff is pushed there, which still needs to be disposed of. The newly delivered M777 have already passed this procedure. The Ukrainian battery of 155-millimeter M777 howitzers manufactured by the United States in the area of the settlement of Podgornoye has been disposed of. https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2022/05/18/raketnye-voyska-nakryli-batareyu-gaubic-m777-proizvodstva-ssha-minoborony

Intended on having a quick victory ---> Going to be awhile and defeat is inevitable.

Where it was written about a quick victory. Stop writing it all the time, there was no such thing. There are plans and they are adhered to, sometimes there are shortcomings or unaccounted-for factors that affect both one side and the other. According to the plan, there are 100 tons of diesel, but in reality a Caliber has arrived and there are no these 100 tons.

Wanted to absorb Ukraine into its influence ---> pushed Ukraine more than ever towards the West.

Unless at least one document says about the seizure. It is written about disarmament, but then let them do it themselves somehow, although it will not be very clear how it will be, and some are already thinking about the partition of Ukraine.

Ruined his own economy ---> Most EU countries will be free of Russian gas and oil by 2027.
(Can read a lot about that in Belgian and Dutch news these days.)

Yes, there is such a thing, there will be a drop in GDP, there will be only 3% growth. And they said even earlier that they would refuse Gas and Oil, so it's not a secret. Although companies open ruble accounts to pay for gas, they do not want to, but they do. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-17/eni-to-open-euro-ruble-accounts-with-russia-s-gazprombank-l3a8sbbp https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-17/eu-says-opening-ruble-accounts-for-russian-gas-breaks-sanctions?srnd=premium-europe

USA is laughing because they have been given a perfect excuse to break Russian's back militarily speaking.

I would like to see how they will break, just for this purpose it is necessary to force them to stop producing military products, and with this there are several difficulties and the biggest difficulty is minimal cooperation with other countries, no, there is cooperation within the country, but with foreign firms at least, it's just that since 2014 the military began to introduce and do not accept weapons. https://topwar.ru/196372-krupnaja-partija-osnovnyh-boevyh-tankov-t-90m-proryv-otpravlena-v-vojska.html

Russia's posturing as 2nd biggest army in the world is ruined, everyone knows now it is just a paper bear.

Show who positioned the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as the 2nd largest army in the world. If Business Insider, then they consider the software only to be driven by one tricky formula without taking into account part of the terms, and they take part of the terms with multipliers and use only publicly available information. Comparisons of armies of different countries of the world in terms of military power and strength is not entirely correct, since it is only possible to determine whose army is stronger in practice and on the battlefield, and the amount of equipment, troops and the size of the military budget is only a theory. Nevertheless, various ratings covering these parameters allow us to assess the approximate state of the armies of the world. And since the group of only 200,000 people who take part, preliminary forecasts and analysis of losses according to the data presented showed that by March 1, 2022, 45,000 losses and then, in theory, we need to think about withdrawal and replenishment, and for some reason an attack and blocking of armed groups is being carried out. This is where the part began to ask questions about the reality of these losses and how many of them actually are.

All its soft power influence that it had build up over the last 15 years is gone now.
And he managed to wake up / unify NATO from its slumber.

Soft power is a force in which weapons are not used, but politicians who support the Russian Federation work. But here, if they don't want to listen, they can already use brute force. It is interesting how the awakening from hibernation happened, the arms concerns want to have time to share the pie and bite off the fattest pieces, like Slovakia with its 130 million euros for the delivered C-300 or the Swedes with their helmets for 9 million euros for 5,000 helmets.

Putin deserves the Darwin Award for sure.

At least they found out what they give the Darwin Prize for. But as I remember that you wanted to have an operation, so Biden is really waiting for you when you come and do it. And so if there is an accusation of the president, it means that this president is doing everything right, due to the fact that the opponent wants to look like "Whatever you want", and they show him the middle finger and indicate their conditions.

Do explain please how a defensive alliance endangers you ?

It only affects you if you plan to attack anyone from the alliance. Don't start wars and NATO literally doesn't affect you. This NATO excuse has been laughed at by everyone in Europe due to it's fallacy
