  1. Isn't it ironic that Ukraine is still going to have to pay the US for that vehicle under the 'Lend Lease Act'!

  2. The US military provokes confrontation with Russia, by flying bombers towards Russia's border in the Baltic, by flying drones near Crimea in the Black Sea, by sailing warships near Russian borders in the Black Sea, military exercises in eastern Europe and now military 'exercises' in the Arctic. They provoke China, flying bombers and surveillance planes near Taiwan, ships and planes in the South China Sea. Each time they claim the 'excuse' that they are in 'international airspace or 'international waters'. The US shot down a balloon, which technically was in 'international airspace' ABOVE the limit of US airspace. If they didn't provoke these incidents, they wouldn't happen! The greatest step towards 'World peace' would be for the US military to go home AND STAY THERE!

  3. Don't forget that in 2022, it was revealed that officials had stolen truckloads and a train-load of humanitarian aid, sent to Ukraine, and sold it off through commercial companies! Also, the Kiev Parliament voted-in a law, legalising corruption. Politicians were then allowed to receive 'gifts' and all restrictions on the size of those gifts were removed! In Monaco harbour/marina there is an area known as the 'Ukraine section', because all the luxury yachts there belong to Ukrainian oligarchs!

  4. How does signing up to NATO membership, increasing the number of anti-Russian forces at your border and in neighbouring countries then suggesting installing NATO anti-Russian nuclear weapons in your country do anything but make your country a more likely target? Sweden obviously felt ignored by not being on Russia's hit list!

  5. A number of EU countries got caught using the same scam! They sent loads of old stocks and Soviet era equipment to Ukraine then claimed the replacement costs from EU funds!

  6. Ukraine's losses June 4th - June 21st: 246 tanks (13 western), ACVs 595, IFV 152 (59 Western), AFVs 443, Field artillery & mortars 279 (48 Western), MLRS 42, AA missile units 2, 10 Tactical fighters, 4 Helicopters, 264 UAVs, 424 vehicles. 13,000 troops demilitarised - These figures are from intercepted UA field commanders' reports!!!

  7. Note the display of the red and black Nazi flag! 'Blut und Ehre' was the motto inscribed on the knives of the Hitler Youth! This is the UA 'success': 12.06.2023 (13:45) Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (12 June 2023) Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation employed long-range, sea-based precision weapons to engage the locations of AFU reserves. All the assigned targets have been engaged. The purpose of the strike has been achieved. Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to attempt offensive actions in the South Donetsk direction. Close to Vremevka salient, three enemy attacks from the direction of Velyka Novosyolka (Donetsk People's Republic) and Levadnoye (Zaporozhye region) were repelled by decisive actions of the defending units, artillery fire, and heavy flamethrower systems of the Vostok Group of Forces. The enemy's casualties were more than 120 Ukrainian personnel, two tanks, and three armoured fighting vehicles. Clusters of enemy manpower and military hardware of the 1st Separate Presidential Brigade, 128th Territorial Defence Brigade, 31st Mechanised Brigade, and 1st Tank Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were hit in the areas of Prechistovka, Velikaya Novosyolka, and Neskuchoye (Donetsk People's Republic). In Zaporozhye direction, Army Aviation and artiller have inflicted fire damage on the units of the 65th Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Novodanilovka (Zaporozhye region). The enemy has suffered losses of up to 250 Ukrainian troops, five tanks, seven armoured fighting vehicles, two motor vehicles, one Akatsiya self-propelled artillery system, and one D-30 howitzer in these directions in the past 24 hours. In Donetsk direction, the fiercest fighting took place in the areas of Avdeevka and Mariynka (Donetsk People's Republic). The Yug Group of Forces successfully repelled two attacks by units of the 59th Motorised Infantry Brigade and the 79th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the direction of Pervomaiskoye and the northern outskirts of Mariynka (Donetsk People's Republic). Up to 80 Ukrainian troops, one armoured fighting vehicle, four motor vehicles, and one D-30 howitzer have been neutralised in this direction during the day. In Kupyansk direction, Operational-Tactical and Army aviation and artillery of the Zapad Group of Forces inflicted fire damage on the units of the enemy close to Novomlynsk, Masyutovka, and Kislovka (Kharkov region), and Stelmakhovka (Lugansk People's Republic). Moreover, one Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance units was annihilated near Rozovka (Lugansk People's Republic). The enemy's losses have amounted to over 35 Ukrainian troops, three motor vehicles, and one D-20 howitzer in this direction during the day. In Krasny Liman direction, Russian aviation, artillery, and heavy flamethrower systems of the Tsentr Group of Forces hit units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine close to Nevskoye, Chervonaya Dibrova (Lugansk People's Republic), and Serebryasnky forestry. One sabotage and reconnaissance group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been disabled close to Grigorovka (Donetsk People's Republic). The enemy has suffered losses of over 55 Ukrainian troops, two armoured fighting vehicles, two motor vehicles, Akatsiya and Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems, and one D-30 howitzer in this direction in the past 24 hours. Moreover, an ammunition depot of the 67th Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been hit close to Torskoye (Donetsk People's Republic). In Kherson direction, up to 15 Ukrainian servicemen, one motor vehicle, and one D-30 howitzer have been neutralised by fire. Operational-Tactical and Army aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have neutralised 96 AFU artillery units at their firing positions, enemy manpower and hardware in 102 areas. One radar of Ukrainian S-300 air defence system was neutralised near Gai (Dnepropetrovsk region). Moreover, an ammunition depot of the 60th Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was destroyed close to Glubokoye (Kharkov region). In addition, a battalion command and observation post of the 68th Jaeger Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was eliminated close to Velikaya Novosyolka (Donetsk People's Republic). Russian air defence forces intercepted a Ukrainian Tochka-U tactical missile. In addition, eight Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in the areas of Varvarovka, Rubezhnoye (Lugansk People's Republic), Spornoye, Novoandreyevka (Donetsk People's Republic), Kopani, Removka (Zaporozhye region), and Podstepnoye (Kherson region).

  8. Zelensky was wrong to compare the two. There were no military targets in Hiroshima - the US targeted civilians - like the UA does in Donetsk City!
    52
  9. Don't expect Sunak to do anything to stop Israel's clearing of Gaza by genocide! His father-in-law just paid £3.5bn for licences to explore and extract gas and oil off the Gaza coast. Sunak's wife receives £12m per year from this company, for which she is exempt from paying ANY UK taxes. This company has been given over £120m in UK Government contracts!
    45
  10. It is reported that it was the Ukrainian air-defence missile that hit the residential block in Odessa NOT the drone!
    43
  11. At least 9 shipments of weapons to Ukraine were destroyed by Russia before even reaching the battlefield!
    33
  12. The West really hasn't thought this through! If an F16 appears in the skies over Ukraine, unless it is just a 'joyride', even if it is only 'intelligence gathering', it is participating in the conflict. If it's a Ukrainian pilot, it is a legitimate military target. If it is a Polish or American pilot, that is active participation in the conflict by NATO! If it took off from an airfield outside Ukraine, that airfield becomes a military target, as does ANY plane that takes off from there. The F16 is capable of carrying nuclear weapons. If a nuclear-capable plane from any country flew within striking distance of the US, the Americans would shoot it down. Russia is no different! Allowing F16s anywhere near Ukraine is a massive escalation!!!
    33
  13. Wasn't it Russia that cleared that corridor of Ukrainian sea-mines and offered safe passage to shipping through it. Russia didn't stop the grain deal. It was scheduled to end in July. Russia did not renew it because the West had not honoured its part of the deal. Ukrainian sea-drones recovered by Russia showed they were launched from ships in the 'grain corridor'. Despite promises by Zelensky, Ukraine still uses the grain corridor as cover for attacks.
    31
  14. This is typical Ukrainian tactics! In Donetsk on 14th Dec, UA targeted residential blocks, the cathedral, the university, a hospital and a school - 2 civilians dead, 3 injured. Same day, they shelled Lantarovka - 8 civilians dead, 23 injured. 16th Dec, UA shelled a humanitarian aid delivery site - 2 civilians dead, 2 injured.
    30
  15. Only the little green man would think that gaining no ground, losing 7,000+ troops in the first few days, along with shed-loads of fighting vehicles, was a 'success'! He looks more drugged up every time he makes an appearance!
    30
  16. Yet another1,835 UA troops were added to the demilitarised scoreboard today. This is in addition to the 2,100 added yesterday and the 1,800 added the day before. At this rate, the Ukrainian Army will cease to exist before the end of the year!
    24
  17. Shoigu wasn't "axed" - he was promoted! The 4 regions were not "annexed" - they voted to join the Russian Federation, and this time (unlike the applications by Donetsk and Luhansk in 2014) the applications were accepted!
    21
  18. The British Government must be SO proud! "On 12 May at around 6.30pm Moscow time, AFU Air Force combat aircraft launched a missile attack on Polipak polymer products company and Milam meat processing plant in Lugansk. The strike was carried out using Storm Shadow missiles supplied to the Kiev regime by the UK, contrary to London's claims that these weapons would not be used on civilian targets. As a result of the strike, a fire broke out on the territory of Lugansk food and chemical industries. Some nearby residential buildings are destructed. Civilians, including six children, were injured. The Russian Aerospace Forces fighter aircraft shot down AFU Su-24 aircraft that attacked Lugansk and Mig-29 fighter that was covering it."
    20
  19. These Poles forget that it was the Red Army that liberated their country from the Nazis! The MSM reported that it was a small light aircraft in the Black Sea/Romania incident, not a Polish jet - which would not have been 'blown out of control' by a Russian fighter jet!
    19
  20. Russia does that EVERY DAY! Monday 1,100+, Tuesday 1,000+, Wednesday 990, 800+ for almost every day last week! 5,500+ recorded in the last week alone! Zaluzhny admitted losses of 20,000 per month. Western analysts (including Pentagon ones) state the UA loses 650-850 troops every day!
    17
  21. Note how Zelensky describes them as "people" not his usual emphasis on 'civilians'. How many of those "people" were employed in the military or arms industries?
    16
  22. Despite losing a few less troops this week, the UA more than made up for it with vehicle and equipment losses! Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (9–15 March 2024) From 9 to 15 March 2024, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out 50 group strikes by high-precision weapons, multiple launch rocket systems, and unmanned aerial vehicles against the airfield infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, repair of weapons and military equipment, storage depots for UAVs and uncrewed surface vehicles, arsenals and POL bases. All the assigned targets have been engaged. Moreover, the strikes also hit deployment areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, nationalists, and foreign mercenaries. In Kupyansk direction, units of the Zapad Group of Forces have improved the situation along the front line and inflicted fire damage on manpower and hardware of six mechanised brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine close to Berestovoye, Peschanoye (Kharkov region) and Serebryanka (Donetsk People's Republic). Twenty-two counter-attacks launched by assault groups of the AFU 57th Motorised, 32nd and 47th Mechanised brigades were repelled close to Sinkovka, Pershotravnevoye (Kharkov region) and Terny (Donetsk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to more than 305 Ukrainian troops, three tanks, two armoured fighting vehicles, 21 motor vehicles, one Czech-made Vampire MLRS, and 25 field artillery guns. In addition, from 12 to 15 March 2024, as a result of preventive and coordinated actions of the Russian troops, all attempts by the AFU to break through Belgorod and Kursk regions were thwarted by actions of the Russian Armed Forces during the special military operation. Air strikes and artillery fire neutralised over 550 Ukrainian troops, 16 tanks, 19 armoured fighting vehicles, including 11 U.S.-made Bradley, and 15 motor vehicles. In Donetsk direction, units of the Yug Group of Forces liberated Nevelskoye (Donetsk People's Republic) and seized more advantageous lines. The Russian troops hit seven mechanised and five assault brigades of the AFU close to Kurakhovo, Spornoye, Razdolovka, Kleshcheyevka, Kurdyumovka, Krasnogorovka, and Georgiyevka (Donetsk People's Republic). In addition, four counter-attacks of the AFU 79th Air Assault Brigade and 81st Airmobile Brigade were repelled close to Belogorovka and Novomikhailovka (Donetsk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to more than 1,930 Ukrainian troops, nine tanks, 12 armoured fighting vehicles, 41 motor vehicles, 18 field artillery guns, two Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile launchers, and eight field ammunition depots. In Avdeyevka direction, the Tsentr Group of Forces' units continued to advance and occupy more advantageous positions. In cooperation with aviation and artillery, the Russian Armed Forces inflicted fire damage on manpower and hardware of 11 brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Ocheretino, Novzvelannoye, Novogrodovka, Rozovka, and Kalinovo (Donetsk People's Republic). Sixty-four counter-attacks launched by the AFU units have been repelled close to Berdychi, Semenovka, Pervomayskoye, Tonenkoye, and Orlovka (Donetsk People's Republic). Over the past week, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost over 2,710 Ukrainian troops killed and wounded, three U.S.-made Abrams tanks, 19 armoured fighting vehicles, 91 motor vehicles, and 18 field artillery guns. In South Donetsk direction, the Vostok Group of Forces' units improved the tactical situation along the front line and defeated the units of the 58th Motorised Infantry Brigade, the 72nd Mechanised Brigade, 127th, 128th Territorial Defence brigades of the AFU close to Vodyanoye, Ugledar, Rovnopol, Urozhaynoye (Donetsk People's Republic), Chervonoye, and Malinovka (Zaporozhye region). Seven enemy counter-attacks were repelled close to Staromayorskoye, Novodonetskoye, Shevchenko (Donetsk People's Republic) and Vladimirovka (Zaporozhye region). The AFU losses amounted to more than 980 Ukrainian troops, seven armoured fighting vehicles, 31 motor vehicles, and 11 artillery guns. In Kherson direction, the Russian troops took more advantageous positions, inflicted complex fire damage on the formations of the 141st Infantry, 65th, 117th mechanised, 82nd, 128th assault, 35th Marine brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine close to Rabotino, Novosyolovka, Orekhov, Kamenskoye, Stepnoye, Pyatikhatki (Zaporozhye region), Berislav and Tyaginka (Kherson region). The AFU losses were more than 270 Ukrainian servicemen, one tank, 23 motor vehicles, and 12 field artillery guns. The Groups’ Missile Troops, Artillery, and unmanned aerial vehicles have shot down one U.S.-made HIMARS MLRS launcher, two U.S.-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile launchers, and one S-300 anti-aircraft missile launcher with radar stations during the week. Air defence units have eliminated over the past week: one MiG-29 fighter jet and two Mi-8 helicopters of the Ukrainian Air Force; one Tochka-U tactical missile; five French-made Hammer aerial bombs; 86 projectiles of the U.S.-made HIMARS, Czech-made Vampire, and Grad MLRS; and 915 unmanned aerial vehicles.

  23. I'm sure the people of Donbas and Crimea will be celebrating their 'independence' from the Kiev regime! I wonder what Kiev's celebrations will look like next year?
    15
  24. Nothing to do with 'denying civilians heat and light'. The attacks on the energy infrastructure were to disrupt the trains carrying troops, equipment and ammunition to the frontlines!
    15
  25. Why would Russia blow up the dam, preventing the evacuation of civilians and the supply of military equipment, troops and supplies into Kherson? Why would Russia stop the water supply to Crimea, which they reinstated at the start of the Special Operation? It was Kiev that had blocked off the N. Crimea Canal!
    14
  26. How many Nazi unit badges are on the wall behind Zelensky? Badges with a red and black background (as with the red & black flags in Ukrainian military cemeteries and on the torch-lit Nazi parades in Kiev and Lvov) = 'Blut und Ehre' the motto on the knives of the Hitler Youth! Similarly, skulls, lightning bolts, wings, lions and wolves are favourite Nazi emblems.
    13
  27. A shame that Hindustan Times won't tell the truth or at least do better research! The hotel and cafe were closed to civilians, because they were filled with NATO 'advisors', troops and mercenaries. There are military vehicles under that collapsed canopy. Other channels showed that they were uniformed soldiers being pulled from the rubble. Many were speaking English. The Russian MOD described it as "A temporary command post of the 56th AFU Motorised Infantry Brigade". Russia doesn't target civilians!
    12
  28. Clearly that policeman is not using deadly force in self defence!
    12
  29. Don't forget that the UA has been shelling the Wagner troops in those buildings as well, and the UA demolished many buildings as they retreated from them, to prevent Russian Forces using them. There was footage recently of a UA tank firing from behind a mosque, so that it gets destroyed by the return fire. They used the same tactics in Mariupol!
    12
  30. The little green man does not live on this planet! However, when he says 'over 31,000', does he mean 431,000? Over 7,500 UA troops demilitarised and de-Nazified in the last week alone! Another 800+ yesterday and 1,000+ the day before! Why did Zaluzhny state that the UA needed 20,000 new troops per month, just to maintain their numbers? Why did Ukraine dig 120,000 new graves in the military cemeteries at Nikolaev and Lviv?
    11
  31. How many of the casualties, how many of the fires and how much of the damage were caused by the 23 drones Ukraine claims to have shot down?
    10
  32. Of 17 drones, 14 were shot down. Which ones landed on civilians? Zelensky decries Russia for 'attacking civilians', then aims drones at St Petersburg. What military targets are there in St Petersburg?
    9
  33. Apart from the 500+ yesterday and another 500+ today! In Kupyansk direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with two companies of foreign mercenaries attempted to attack Russian positions in the direction of Novoselovskoye (Lugansk People's Republic). All the enemy attacks have been repelled. During the day, more than 130 militants and Ukrainian personnel were killed, three tanks, two armoured fighting vehicles, and two Humvees were damaged due to firepower and Russian forces' actions. In Krasny Liman direction, the AFU failed to conduct an offensive with three reinforced battalions in the direction of Makeyevka, Ploshchanka, and Chervonopopovka (Lugansk People's Republic). As a result of the active actions of Russian troops and artillery, the enemy was thrown back to the initial positions. Furthermore, the Armed Forces of Ukraine's advanced reserves were annihilated in Terny and Kirovsk (Donetsk People's Republic). The adversary suffered casualties of nearly 200 Ukrainian personnel killed, 120 wounded, four tanks, nine armoured fighting vehicles, and eight automobiles. In South Donetsk direction, in order to halt the Russian troops' offensive, the AFU attempted to counterattack in the direction of Nikolskoye and Rovnopol (Donetsk People's Republic). Russian artillery fire, assault and army aircraft attacks halted and scattered counterattacking enemy troops in Vodyanoye and Novoselka (Donetsk People's Republic). In total, 80 Ukrainian personnel were defeated, as well as three infantry fighting vehicles and two automobiles. In Nikolayev–Krivoy Rog direction, five motorised infantry companies of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched attacks towards Mylovoye, Sukhanovo, Bruskinskoye, and Ishchenko (Kherson region). As a result of the fire damage and successful actions of the Russian troops, the enemy was thrown back to the initial positions. The enemy suffered total losses of more than 80 Ukrainian personnel killed and injured, six armoured fighting vehicles, and seven vehicles for other purposes. Operational-Tactical and Army Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery eliminated the command posts of 128th Mountain Assault Brigade and 115th Brigade of the Territorial Defence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine close to Mirolyubovka (Kherson region) and Zvanovka (Donetsk People's Republic), as well as 96 artillery units in firing positions, manpower, and military equipment in 158 areas. During the counterbattery battle, a Ukrainian platoon of GRAD MLRS was defeated in Volchansk (Kharkov region), as was an artillery battery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Novoselka (Donetsk People's Republic). A US-made AN/TPQ-37 counterbattery radar station was destroyed near Dzerzhinsk (Donetsk People's Republic). One radar of Ukrainian S-300 air defence system was destroyed near Viskun (Nikolayev region). Furthermore, an AFU's munitions stockpile was damaged near Novaya Kamenka (Kherson region). Operational-Tactical Aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces has shot down one Mi-8 of Ukrainian Air Force near Kostyrka (Kherson region). During the day, eight Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by air defence close to Burgunka, Bobrovy Kut, and Olgovka (Kherson region), Epifanovka (Lugansk People's Republic), Novaya Tarasovka (Kharkov region), Aleksandrovka, Nikolskoye, and Pavlovka (Donetsk People's Republic). In addition, 13 projectiles of HIMARS, Olkha, and Uragan were intercepted in the air above Antonovka, Novaya Kakhovka, Gruzsko-Lomovka, and Svobodnoye (Kherson region).

  34. Don't forget the 28 in the Donetsk market or the 28 in the Luhansk bakery!

  35.  @CB_GAMES777  Same colours displayed at the torch-lit processions in Kiev every 1st Jan to celebrate Bandera's birthday. Google image 'Ukrainian cemetery' and see how many red & black flags there are! Same flag often seen on UA vehicles and uniform badges.

  36. 'Do bears sh*t in the woods?' - ask Artan!

  37. Does Zelensky regret claiming Ukraine was going to join NATO? Or take back Crimea? Does he regret signing the order in January to assemble an additional 40,000 military task force to take back Donbas?
    6
  38. CCTV from the park (appearing on YouTube), to the north of the shopping centre at Kremenchuk clearly show the explosion was at the factory/storage site NOT the Amstor shopping centre, which shows on Google maps as 'temporary closed'.
    6
  39. "The war started on 20th February 2022" - but Russia didn't enter Ukraine until 24th Feb. HT must be referring to the UA attacks on the people of Donbas! The OSCE recorded more than 2,000 ceasefire breaches (UA shelling Donbas) per day on 20th, 21st and 22nd!

  40.  @henrikstephenson2246  Which part of "Russian Defence Ministry report " don't you understand?

  41. This is a wise move. Which country is going to attack Belarus now? @Red-Check-Mark

  42. But the conflict is a Special Military Operation - not a war! @Chuck_Hooks

  43.  @teakkaye5364  Whoever told you those elections were at gunpoint was lying. Note that most of those who left went to Russia!
    3
  44.  @teakkaye5364  How many people do you think would have voted to continue to be shelled by the Ukrainian Army instead of joining the Russian Federation??
    3
  45.  @fabianschrotter  Zelensky's art is 'creative writing' - e.g. 'The Ghost of Kiev', 'The Snake Island Martyrs', 'We will win and take back Crimea'!
    3
  46.  @ryanwalters6184  That would not be an 'end' - but a 'beginning' of something much worse! Only a fool would send troops to Ukraine!
    3
  47. Khan of the ICC issued that warrant days after getting his brother released from prison, halfway through his sentence, for sexually assaulting a 15 year old boy. So much for protecting children!
    3
  48. Instead, Zelensky declared that Ukraine was going to join NATO (even though NATO have since admitted that they can't!) and get nuclear weapons. He refused to honour the Minsk Agreements. He also declared that Ukraine was going to take back Crimea and in January, signed the order to assemble a task force to send an additional 40,000 troops to take back Donbas. On 16th Feb, the OSCE recorded 40 ceasefire violations, as the Ukrainian Army began shelling Donbas, rising daily to more than 2,000 a day on 20th, 21st and 22nd Feb. On 24th Feb, Russia (as requested under the UN Charter Article 51) stepped in to stop it! By the way, your Nazi colours are upside down!
    3
  49. This week's demilitarised total - 13,820 (earlier this year it was 5-6,000 per week). Even the Kiev procurator admitted last week, that UA dead (not including a similar number permanently injured) was fast approaching 530,000!
    3
  50. Zelensky has realised how effective Sparta is at destroying his army! Sparta finds where his troops are hiding and gives the positions to the artillery! Another 1,955 UA troops were added to the demilitarised scoreboard today, on top of 1,800+ yesterday, 2,300+ the day before and 2,000+ the day before that! The UA won't survive until the end of the year!
    3
  51. Too late! Kiev has already used them yesterday - against civilian targets in Luhansk
    3
  52.  @piotrproszewski3977  That's why the UA has previously used HIMARS to target the market place, a city bus full of pensioners and the Children's Library in Donetsk City - where there are NO military targets!
    3
  53.  @MrLeadb1  They even took the food from the women and told them to cook some more!
    3
  54. If a British, French, Dutch or Russian politician turned up in a red, white and blue suit, would anyone take them seriously? - or would they just think that the circus was in town?!
    2
  55. "instead of fighting on the battlefield" - Kiev attacks the Crimea Bridge, car-bombs journalists and civilian administrators, shells a sports centre, homes for orphans and a power-station in Belgorod, shells the marketplace in Donetsk city centre, a nuclear power-station...
    2
  56.  @mamatamaibam1122  Various dates since end of February. The first had just come over the border from Poland, was when they also wiped out 250 mercenaries, assembled in western Ukraine. There was also a cargo plane that didn't even get to land. Each event has been reported by Russian MOD and most confirmed by western media. There was also a LARGE ammo storage destroyed at Mikoliev a few days ago.
    2
  57.  @jayhaugabook7393  Calm down, Jay. These were all done in western Ukraine - after they crossed from NATO territory - but before they could be deployed or used.
    2
  58. Don't forget that Zelensky called the West 'conspiracy theorists' when they said is was a Ukrainian missile that hit the farm in Poland!
    2
  59.  @clemalford9768  But the Brits weren't paying for vehicles that the Germans were using against them! - see the irony?
    2
  60. Each new weapon the West supplies to Kiev means the remnant of Ukraine will be even smaller! Soon it'll just be Kiev and Lvov!
    2
  61. Why is there no mention that the funeral was for an Aidar neo-nazi and was attended by 150 of his neo-nazi comrades?
    2
  62. "8 drones and 3 missiles shot down" - which landed on civilian targets. Zelensky condemns the attacks but wants more air defence so the UA can make MORE land on civilians, instead of their military targets!
    2
  63. Hawk air-defence systems, the ones the Americans stopped using 20 years ago. The Yanks are dusting off 4 converted pick-ups: Avenger = Stinger from the back of a pick-up. Range 5km! - to add to Ukraine's credit card bill. However, they need to refurbish the Hawk missiles (because they don't work anymore). As yet the US hasn't even arranged a contract for a company to do the repairs! So, likely to arrive sometime next year.. All these systems - Hawk, Avenger, NASAM, etc are way below the capabilities of the S300s Ukraine has lost, and which weren't enough anyway. Enough 155mm rounds to last 3.5 days and 1.75 days of 120mm rounds! Humvees, designed for desert warfare! Note no quantity given for HIMARS missiles! The US admits it can't keep up with the UA loss rate. However, Russia had 6 years to stockpile ammunition, and supply is from NEXT DOOR! Russia is starting to deploy an extra 318,000 mobilized troops, 80,000 new volunteers, has another 10,000 waiting in Belarus, has 900 aircraft parked just inside Russia. Where are Ukraine's reinforcements? The demilitarization continues with another big score yesterday!
    2
  64.  @olanwebb2805  That was why Russia stepped in to stop it! 14,000 were killed in Donbas and 10,000 in Mariupol in the 8 years BEFORE the special operation!

  65.  @piotrproszewski3977  Is that why there were 6 children injured - at a military facility?

  66. The Black Sea is a 'registered conflict area' not a war zone. If Russia was 'at war' she would close the borders, install martial law and restrict exit from the country. It is a special military operation with very specific aims, as stated by the President on 24th Feb '22! @Staann

  67. The Irish Government should have been aware that Ukrainians are 'entitled' freeloaders. It serves them right for offering to house them. Most are from western Ukraine, unaffected by the conflict. Most of those from eastern Ukraine chose to go to Russia instead to avoid the shelling of civilians by the UA!

  71. Total bullshit from Hindustan Times! "Escalation" - it was a routine patrol. "chased down" - they 'monitored' the Russian presence. "Over Scotland" - look at a map! The Arctic Ocean "north of the Shetland Islands" is not over Scotland. They were in international airspace NOT British airspace, just an 'area of interest'.

  72. Having found out what happens when they do try to counter attack, the UA needed to go back to the excuse for a delay of 'the ground is too soggy'. How could they do that? Typical lying Ukrainians! 11 sections of the power plant dam may be destroyed NOW, which would require a lot of explosives. However, early footage showed that only a small section was damaged, and the rest has been done by the water. Why would Russia cut off the water supply to ZNPP, the water supply to Crimea and flood the defences they have just built? Russia is already defeating the 'Ukrainian counter offensive' - they didn't need this! 06.06.2023 (00:15) Statement by Russian Defence Ministry During 5 June, the enemy continued the offensive concentrating the main efforts on Vremevka outpost in South Donetsk direction. Having suffered heavy losses the day before, the Kiev regime reorganised the remnants of the 23rd and 31st mechanised brigades into separate combined units, which continued the offensive operations close to Novodarovka and Levadnoye. In addition, a new brigade was brought into the action in this area. At the same time, the enemy launched an offensive in the direction of Oktyabrsky state farm and Novodonetskoye by the 37th Marine Infantry Brigade with the reinforcements based on the units of the AFU 68th Mountain Jaeger Brigade. enemy was attacked with a comprehensive fire attack by Army, Ground-Attack and Operational-Tactical aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery, as well as heavy flamethrower systems. As a result of active and self-sacrificing actions of the Vostok Group of Forces, which displayed courage and heroism, the enemy has been stopped, and the set tasks haven’t been achieved. The AFU formations and military units suffered significant losses. Total AFU losses in South Donetsk direction were over 1,500 Ukrainian servicemen, 28 tanks, including FRG-manufactured 8 Leopard tanks, three French-manufactured AMX-10 wheeled tanks, and 109 armoured fighting vehicles.

  76.  @teakkaye5364  But they also considered the referenda in 2014 as 'illegitimate'! The fact is that in early Feb 2022, Zelensky ordered the assembly of a 40,000 strong task force to 'take back Donbas'. On 16th Feb, the OSCE recorded more than 40 ceasefire breaches, as the UA began shelling Donbas, rising to more than 2,000 a day on the 20th, 21st and 22nd. On 24th Feb, as requested under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Russia stepped in to stop it. Would the ethnic-Russians in Donbas wish to go back to being bombed by their own Government? Would they wish to live with the ban of their native language?

  77. Note at 1:42 the red and black Nazi flag. Also at 2:05 the Nazi cross. Google image 'Ukrainian cemetery' and count all the red & black flags on the graves of dead Nazis! It symbolises 'Blut und Ehre' - the motto inscribed on the knives of the Hitler Youth!

  82. Yet another day when 1,000+ UA troops were added to the demilitarised and denazified scoreboard! Most days now score over 1,000 - a 50% increase from when Zaluzhny stated the UA needed 20,000 new troops per month to maintain levels! Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (14 March 2023) The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation. In Kupyansk direction, as a result of active actions by units of the Zapad Group of Forces, the situation on the front line has improved, Russian troops have inflicted a fire defeat on enemy units close to Ivanovka (Kharkov region) and Terny (Donetsk People's Republic). One counterattack by the AFU 47th Motorised Infantry Brigade has been repulsed near Pershotravnyovoye (Kharkov region). The enemy losses were up to 30 servicemen, one tank, four motor vehicles, one U.S.-made M777 artillery system, one U.S.-made M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery system, and one Gvozdika self-propelled artillery system. In addition, as a result of preemptive actions by Russian units, another attempt by the AFU to break through into the border territory of the Russian Federation has been foiled foiled near Spodariushino (Belgorod region). Aviation and artillery have destroyed up to 195 troops, five tanks, four armoured fighting vehicles, three UR-77 self-propelled mine clearing rocket systems, and three engineer obstacle-clearing vehicles. In Donetsk direction, units of the Yug Group of Forces have occupied more favourable lines and positions and defeated enemy formations close to Georgievka, Kleshcheyevka, and Nevelskoye (Donetsk People's Republic). The AFU lost over 240 servicemen, three tanks, and five motor vehicles. During the counter-battery warfare, one U.S.-made M777 artillery system, one U.S.-made M198 howitzer, and one UK-made FH-70 gun. In addition, one ammunition depot has been destroyed. In Avdeyevka direction, units of the Tsentr Group of Forces have hit manpower and hardware concentration areas of the 107th Territorial Defence Brigade near Tonenkoye (Donetsk People's Republic). Eight counterattacks by assault groups of 24th, 47th, 59th mechanised, 3rd assault, and 78th air assault brigades of the AFU have been repulsed near Novgorodskoye, Novobakhmutovka, Berdychi, Semyonovka, and Orlovka (Donetsk People's Republic). The enemy losses were up to 410 troops, three armoured fighting vehicles, including one U.S.-made Bradley IFV, nine motor vehicles, one D-30 howitzer, and one AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar station. In South Donetsk direction, units of the Vostok Group of Forces have defeated and repelled three attacks by assault groups of the 72nd Mechanised Brigade and the 128th Brigade of the AFU close to Vladimirovka and Staromayorskoye (Donetsk People's Republic). The enemy losses were up to 125 troops, one tank, and two motor vehicles, and two D-30 howitzers. In Kherson direction, as a result of coordinated actions by the units of the Dnepr Group of Forces, the situation along the front line has been improved, the fire has been inflicted on manpower and hardware concentration areas of the 118th Mechanised Brigade of the AFU, the 35th Marine Brigade, the 23rd Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard, and the 121st Territorial Defence Brigade near Rabotino (Zaporozhye region), Vysshetarasovka (Dnepropetrovsk region), and Mikhailovka (Kherson region). The AFU losses were up to 30 servicemen and two motor vehicles. Operational-Tactical Aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Groups of Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have neutralised manpower and military hardware in 108 areas. Air defence facilities have shot down 136 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, one French-made Hammer guided aerial bomb, four U.S.-made HIMARS MLRS projectiles, and four Grad MLRS shells.

  83. The big increase in natural gas prices, from $1.92 in Sept'20 to $5.95 in Jan '22 was BEFORE the Ukraine conflict! It is currently back down to $2.02. Oil prices fell from $60.12 in Jan '20 to $22.10 in Apr '20, then recovered to $101.46 in Feb '22, again BEFORE the Ukraine conflict! It is now $77.05. Ukraine should pay for the trouble they caused by attacking the people of Donbas on 16th February 2022, causing Russia to step in to stop the genocide on 24th February!

  84. Yep! Now ask yourself why? - when Russia has been avoiding civilian casualties? Here are some clues: Amnesty International reported that 26 of 29 schools inspected had been used for military purposes. Residents reported that the UA routinely set up artillery in school playgrounds. Videos from Bakhmut show UA armoured vehicles firing from behind churches and mosques. Residents in Bucha and Mariupol reported that UA troops routinely set up firing positions in residential blocks. Despite being designated a 'war-crime', it is standard operational practice for the UA to set up and operate from civilian buildings! @rjohansen9486

  85. Woman in a maternity hospital reported being evicted so that the UA could use it as a barracks. The soldiers even took their food and told them to cook some more! There are more than 150 PR agencies working for the Ukrainian Govt, churning out propaganda stories, most of which have already been widely debunked. Only gullible fools still quote them! The UA has made a regular practice of re-shelling civilian areas 30-60 minutes afterwards - to target emergency workers as well. @rjohansen9486

  86. The MSM decried Russia's missile attack on the 'Sports' shopping centre. What they didn't show was the video footage of the basement carpark, filled with military vehicles! Similarly, the MSM claimed a Russian missile attack on a town centre. Examination of the unedited footage, showed the people's reactions and reflections in car windscreens, which proved that the missile came from Ukrainian held territory! Same with Kramatorsk station. Why would Russia fire a missile at ethnic-Russians gathered at the station - from territory held by the UA?  @rjohansen9486

  87. I agree. In addition to the huge numbers of UA troops (currently some 20,000/month) and most of their military equipment, Ukraine will also lose Donbas, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and likely Odessa and Kharkov too. It will also lose most of its GDP, its ability to join NATO or the EU, but also many of its corrupt politicians! @PavolFilek

  89. It is Zelensky's use of terrorist tactics which has made targets of the Ukrainian citizens in cities, previously untroubled by the conflict. Why does the West think it is acceptable for Kiev to cut off the drinking water supply to Crimea, the water and electricity to Donbas, bomb the power station in Belgorod, bomb the Crimean Bridge, car bomb civilians - yet complain when Russia targets Ukraine's power grid?

  90. Zelensky pushed the people in Ukraine's cities into the firing line with his terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure in Russian territory. The Russian Ambassador stated the electrical grid was targeted to disrupt the trains bringing Western weapons to the battlefield. Zelensky continues to send the weapons (those not sold on the dark web) to the eastern regions. Russia is likely to shut the grid down completely.

  91. Zelensky seems unaware who the 14th Waffen/1st Galician SS Division were. Or who the OUN was and still is. Or how many neo-Nazi troop units make up his army.

Russia's deal with Iran is nuclear expertise in exchange for gas turbines - they won't rely on the Germans again!

  97. Yet another day when 1,000+ UA troops were added to the demilitarised and denazified scoreboard! For the previous week the total was 8,200+! Earlier this year, Zaluzhny admitted that the UA needed 20,000 new troops per month, just to maintain combat levels. Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (28 April 2024) The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation. The Zapad Group of Forces' units captured more advantageous lines and inflicted losses on manpower and hardware of the AFU 12th Azov Special Forces Brigades, 10th mountain assault, 57th, 63rd mechanised brigades near Sinkovka, Petropavlovka (Kharkov region), Grigorovka (Donetsk People's Republic) and Chervonaya Dibrova (Lugansk People's Republic). Three counter-attacks launched by units of the AFU 77th Airmobile Brigade were repelled close to Novosyolovskoye (Lugansk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to up to 270 Ukrainian troops, one armoured personnel carrier, eight motor vehicles, one U.S.-made M198 howitzer, one 152-mm Msta-B howitzer, one 152-mm D-20 gun, one 122-mm Gvozdika self-propelled artillery system, and one 130-mm M-46 gun. The Yug Group of Forces' units improved the situation along the front line and inflicted fire damage on manpower and hardware of AFU 93rd mechanised and 80th air assault brigades near Kleshcheyevka, Andreyevka, and Krasnogorovka (Donetsk People's Republic). Four counter-attacks of the AFU 92nd Assault Brigade were repelled close to Chasov Yar (Donetsk People's Republic). The enemy losses were up to 360 servicemen, two armoured fighting vehicles, and 17 motor vehicles. In the course of the counter-battery warfare, two 152-mm D-20 howitzers, two 122-mm D-30 howitzers, and one 100-mm MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun were neutralised. Two Anklav-N electronic warfare stations and one ammunition depot were also eliminated. As a result of active operations, the Tsentr Group of Forces' units liberated Novobakhmutovka (Donetsk People's Republic), and defeated units of AFU 142nd infantry, 24th mechanised, 68th jaeger brigades near Leninskoye, Keramik, and Semyonovka (Donetsk People's Republic). Ten counter-attacks launched by assault groups of AFU 23rd, 100th mechanised, 71st jaeger brigades and the 78th Separate Air Assault Regiment were repelled near Novgorodskoye, Ocheretino, Novobakhmutovka, Netaylovo, and Berdychi (Donetsk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to up to 380 Ukrainian troops, one tank, one armoured fighting vehicle, and five motor vehicles. In the course of the counter-battery warfare, two 155-mm U.S.-made M777 howitzers, one 155-mm U.S.-made M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery system, two 105-mm U.S.-made M101 towed guns, three 122-mm D-30 howitzers, and one 100-mm MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun were eliminated. The Vostok Group of Forces' units captured more advantageous lines, inflicted losses on manpower and hardware of AFU 58th mechanised infantry, 108th territorial defence brigades close to Pavlovka and Lugovskoye (Zaporozhye region). The AFU losses amounted to up to 85 Ukrainian troops, four pickups, one 122-mm German-made PzH-2000 self-propelled artillery system, and one 122-mm Gvozdika self-propelled artillery system. One Anklav-N electronic warfare station and one ammunition depot were also destroyed. Units of the Dnepr Group of Forces inflicted fire damage on clusters of manpower of AFU 65th mechanised, 128th mountain assault, 126th territorial defence brigades near Kamenskoye, Rabotino (Zaporozhye region), Ivanovka, and Olgovka (Kherson region). The AFU losses amounted to up to 50 Ukrainian troops, two motor vehicles, one 155-mm U.S.-made M777 howitzer, and one Anklav-N electronic warfare station. Operational-Tactical Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Russian Groups of Forces have eliminated hangars with strike drones at the Kamenka airfield (Dnepropetrovsk region). In addition, hangars with aircraft munitions and aircraft at the Priluki airfield (Chernigov region) and at the Starokonstantinov airfield (Khmelnitsky region), temporary deployment areas for foreign mercenaries, manpower and military hardware of the AFU in 121 areas were engaged. Air defence systems shot down 46 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles and five U.S.-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles during the day.

  98. Khan issued the arrest warrant for Putin, just days after obtaining the release from prison of his brother, halfway through his sentence for sexually assaulting a 15 year old boy - great child protection there! In doing so, he broke numerous international laws! Under the 1973 UN Protection of Diplomats Convention, Heads of State have absolute immunity from the jurisdiction of foreign countries. Under Russian law, 'knowingly bringing an innocent person to criminal liability, combined with unlawfully accusing a person of committing a grave or especially grave crime', preparing an attack on a foreign state 'with the intention of complicating international relations'. The 3 judges who signed it are accused of 'attacking a foreign state representative' as well as 'attempting a deliberately unlawful detention'.

  126. When Kiev shoots down missiles from their intended targets, it damages kindergartens and starts fires in sub-stations. "All 31 missiles" - so Russia wasn't aiming at anything which was hit! If Zelensky's troops shot down ALL the missiles, why do they need more air-defence systems?

He prefers them to land on civilians rather than on military targets! You need to be totally brain-dead to believe anything from Zelensky! Russia jokes that he usually claims to have shot down 3 times the number of missiles that were actually launched! Why would Russia fire 70 missiles at Kiev, knowing that most would be shot down, giving the little green man propaganda about 'civilian casualties'? Where did Kiev get 60 air-defence rockets? How long did it take to launch those 60 rockets? The Ukraine propaganda machine having to tell bigger lies to convince the gullible!

So the US Govt places orders with US arms companies, pays for it with US taxpayers money, but the Ukraine people have to pay the money back! The arms get handed over to anyone who turns up in Poland to collect it, but most of it (70-90%) gets sold on the 'dark web', through organisations in Kiev and the money disappears into pockets. A lot of those pockets are owned by Govt officials - and some of it finds its way back to the pockets of the American officials who authorised the shipments. Also 9 of the early shipments were destroyed by Russia before they even got to the battlefield!

  131. IF (and it's a big if) Ukraine managed to shoot down 36 Russian missiles, then surely it is more likely those falling randomly which have killed and injured civilians, rather than hitting their intended targets. It is evident that Russia, unlike the Ukrainian Army, does not target civilians!

  132.  @volnick  Ok. How about 'Hiroshima and the Myths of Military Targets and Unconditional Surrender': "The first myth was started by President Harry Truman when he announced on Aug. 9, 1945, that “the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base … because we wished in this first attack to avoid, insofar as possible, the killing of civilians.” Truman argued, in other words, that Hiroshima was a military target. Although Hiroshima contained some military-related industrial facilities—an army headquarters and troop-loading docks—the vibrant city of over a quarter of a million men, women and children was hardly “a military base.” Indeed, less than 10 percent of the individuals killed on Aug. 6, 1945, were Japanese military personnel." "Killing civilians was the primary purpose of the Hiroshima bombing. Two committees—the Target Committee and the Interim Committee—were convened to advise U.S. leaders on the atomic bomb. The prioritization of maximizing the bomb’s psychological impact on the Japanese population and leadership is the common thread that binds the recommendations of the two committees. The Target Committee ultimately advised leadership “to neglect location of [military] industrial areas as pin point target, since … such areas are small, spread on fringes of cities and quite dispersed” and instead “to place first gadget in center of selected city.” Mindful of norms against the intentional killing of civilians, the Interim Committee headed by Stimson instead “recommended that … [the bomb] should be used on a dual target, that is, a military installation or war plant surrounded by or adjacent to homes or other buildings most susceptible to damage.” But the identification of military objectives by the Interim Committee was a rationalization meant to obscure the true aims of the Hiroshima bombing. The Interim Committee’s recommendation was an endorsement of terror bombing with a legal veneer. At bottom, Stimson wanted to kill as many workers and their families possible. And he made no effort to ensure that the Interim Committee’s recommendation about dual targeting was followed. Ultimately, the crew of the Enola Gay was permitted to pick the aim point and chose the Aioi Bridge at the center of Hiroshima. More than 70,000 men, women and children were killed immediately. In a cruel irony, the munitions factories on the periphery of the city were left largely unscathed." How about these facts?

  133.  @volnick  So, the true history books - not the propaganda ones - show I did 'get my facts straight', and Bakhmut is NOT comparable to Hiroshima - where civilians were targeted!

  134. More propaganda bullsh*t from Hindustan Times! The ship was not "attacked". A warning shot was fired after the ship failed to stop for inspection, when requested by radio. The soundtrack to the video shown includes the soldier asking the crew why they failed to stop when requested numerous times on the radio. The "spike in attacks in the Black Sea" is by Ukraine against Russian Navy and commercial ships. Russia did not renew the grain deal when it expired in July, because the Russian side of the deal was not being honoured. This exit had been threatened 3 months ago, which was why the deal was only extended for 3 months instead of 6. It had nothing to do with the attack on the Crimean Bridge!

  144. Typical lying Ukrainians! 11 sections may be destroyed NOW, which would require a lot of explosives. However, early footage showed that only a small section was damaged, and the rest has been done by the water. Why would Russia cut off the water supply to ZNPP, the water supply to Crimea and flood the defences they have just built? Russia is already defeating the 'Ukrainian counter offensive' - they didn't need this! 06.06.2023 (00:15) Statement by Russian Defence Ministry During 5 June, the enemy continued the offensive concentrating the main efforts on Vremevka outpost in South Donetsk direction. Having suffered heavy losses the day before, the Kiev regime reorganised the remnants of the 23rd and 31st mechanised brigades into separate combined units, which continued the offensive operations close to Novodarovka and Levadnoye. In addition, a new brigade was brought into the action in this area. At the same time, the enemy launched an offensive in the direction of Oktyabrsky state farm and Novodonetskoye by the 37th Marine Infantry Brigade with the reinforcements based on the units of the AFU 68th Mountain Jaeger Brigade. enemy was attacked with a comprehensive fire attack by Army, Ground-Attack and Operational-Tactical aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery, as well as heavy flamethrower systems. As a result of active and self-sacrificing actions of the Vostok Group of Forces, which displayed courage and heroism, the enemy has been stopped, and the set tasks haven’t been achieved. The AFU formations and military units suffered significant losses. Total AFU losses in South Donetsk direction were over 1,500 Ukrainian servicemen, 28 tanks, including FRG-manufactured 8 Leopard tanks, three French-manufactured AMX-10 wheeled tanks, and 109 armoured fighting vehicles.

Where is their 'horror'; when Ukraine fires Storm Shadow missiles and HIMARS rockets into the market place, or the Children's Library in Donetsk City centre, or hits a bus full of pensioners or scatters petal munitions across residential areas of Donbas? And then fires a second salvo half-hour later to get the rescue services as well! Where was their 'horror' when Ukraine targeted orphan accommodation, a children's sports centre and shops near Belgorod? Why would Russia target civilians after 20 months of avoiding civilian casualties? Where did Granny get her camouflage fleece?

  152. So, Ukraine shot down 10 missiles and 25 drones - but the damage to the hospital and fire-station was deliberate targeting by Russia? Despite the extensive damage to the hospital, only one person died - and he was a passer-by! Was the hospital closed? or abandoned? or only being used by the military? Something smells very fishy!

  153. Yet another 1,000+ day on the demilitarisation & de-Nazification scoreboard! Who said Sundays are a day of rest?! Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (19 February 2024) The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation. In Kupyansk direction, the Zapad Group of Forces' units, aviation, and artillery repelled six attacks launched by assault groups of AFU 30th, 32nd, 60th mechanised brigades near Sinkovka (Kharkov region) and Terni (Donetsk People's Republic). The enemy losses were up to 30 servicemen, one Leopard tank, two armoured personnel carriers, and four motor vehicles. In the course of the counterbattery warfare, one Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery system, one Akatsiya self-propelled artillery system, one D-20 howitzer, and one Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems were eliminated. In Donetsk direction, units of the Yug Group of Forces improved the situation on the front line, and hit units of AFU 22nd, 42nd, 93rd mechanised, 79th, 80th air assault brigades close to Novomikhailovka, Grigorovka, Kurdyumovka, and Kleshcheyevka (Donetsk People's Republic). In addition, four attacks launched by assault groups of the AFU 24th Mechanised Brigade were repelled near Leninskoye (Donetsk People's Republic). Up to 275 Ukrainian troops, two armoured fighting vehicles, two motor vehicles, and one D-30 howitzer were destroyed. In Avdeyevka direction, the Tsentr Group of Forces' units captured more favourable lines and positions, and fully liberated the coke and chemical plant. Strikes were delivered at clusters of manpower and hardware of AFU 71st jaeger, 23rd mechanised, and 116th territorial defence brigades close to Solovyevo and Tonenkoye (Donetsk People's Republic). Nine attacks launched by assault groups of AFU 53rd, 59th mechanised, 3rd assault brigades were repelled near Lastochkino and Pervomayskoye (Donetsk People's Republic). The enemy losses amounted to up to 565 Ukrainian troops killed and wounded, two armoured fighting vehicles, 23 motor vehicles, two U.S.-made M777 howitzers, and one D-30 howitzer. In South Donetsk direction, units of the Vostok Group of Forces inflicted losses on units of AFU 102nd, 128th territorial defence brigades close to Staromayorskoye (Donetsk People's Republic) and Chervonoye (Zaporozhye region). One attack launched by assault groups of the AFU 58th Mechanised Brigade was repelled close to Shevchenko (Zaporozhye region). The enemy lost up to 150 Ukrainian troops, three motor vehicles, one Akatsiya self-propelled artillery system, one D-20 howitzer, and two Bukovel-AD electronic warfare stations. In Kherson direction, as a result of actions of the Russian troops, the AFU lost up to 45 Ukrainian troops, four pick-up trucks, and one D-20 howitzer. Operational-Tactical Aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and Missile Troops and Artillery of the Russian Groups of Forces have engaged one French-made SAMP/T air defence system, as well as AFU manpower and hardware in 138 areas during the day. Air defence systems shot down 96 unmanned aerial vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Olshana, Krakhmalnoye, Timkovka (Kharkov region), Svatovo, Kremennaya (Lugansk People's Republic), Artyomovsk, Peski, Vladimirovka (Donetsk People's Republic), Ulyanovka, Verbovoye (Zaporozhye region), Razdolnoye (Kherson region), as well as two HIMARS MLRS projectiles.

  154. Simple maths - 1 pump working out of 5 can pump 20%. No pumps working = no gas. Germans won't certify NS2 = no gas there either. Kiev blocks one of the 2 pipes through Ukraine = reduced flow there as well. It's Siemens that sets the maintenance schedules. Canada's sanctions sent the repaired pump to Germany - where it remains! But it's ALL PUTIN'S FAULT!

  155. Does the MSM view on "innocent human beings" extend to the 250 Palestinians, who have been killed by Israeli troops so far this year? That is equivalent to one EVERY DAY! In 1947, the British Government gave Israelis the right to settle in Palestine on the condition that they 'respect the rights and freedoms of the Palestinians living there'. Israel has NEVER done this. Instead, Israel has forced Palestinians into a tiny enclave - the Gaza Strip and walled them in! The UN mandated that Israel remove its troops from the Golan Heights. Israel has never done that either. Is it any surprise that people celebrate an organisation fighting back and standing up for the rights of Palestinians by force, as diplomacy has NEVER worked with the Israelis! It is nothing to do with 'anti-semitism' - it is 'anti-terrorism' - against the terror inflicted by Israel for over 70 years!

  156. The latest 'arms package' is smoke and mirrors! Most of it will arrive next year or the year after. There's enough 155mm ammo to last Ukraine 4 days! Note there are no quantities for HIMARS or HARM missiles. Russia shoots down 20 of these a day! No details of 'what' anti-tank weapons'. It's just something to add onto Ukraine's credit card bill!

  157.  @jonathandesimone5618 In early February '22, Zelensky sent a 40,000 strong task force (the order to assemble this was signed in mid January) to 'Take back Donbas'. On 16th Feb '22, the OSCE recorded more than 40 ceasefire violations, as the UA began shelling Donbas, rising daily to more than 2,000 a day on 20th, 21st and 22nd. On 24th Feb, as requested under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Putin stepped in to stop it. Did Pregozhin mention this?

Western companies being kicked out of Russia and the ending of their plundering of Russian resources for next to nothing and the switch to supplying 'the global south', heralds a boom period for the Russian economy. Even Western sources admit the failure of the UA counter offensive and are advocating that Kiev should seek a negotiated surrender sooner rather than later!

  176. Israel bought nuclear weapons from South Africa in the 1980s. The deal was brokered by David Cameron, who was a junior civil servant under Maggie Thatcher. Israel caused a scandal in the UK when they made a £12,000 'thank you' donation to the Tory Party!

However, without Canadian sanctions, there would be 4 other turbines working and the gas flow would now be 80%. With another turbine needing to go to Canada AND COME BACK AGAIN! - the pressure should switch to Trudeau! The G7 now wants to start a war against Russian oil - just watch the prices rise now! Will the EU lobby Trudeau to cancel the sanctions? Will the Germans (and other EU countries) pressure Schultz to certify Nord Stream 2? Will there be a ground swell to cancel all sanctions? Will there be a rift between the US and EU if sanctions get lifted? It's all becoming an interesting game! Putin is on the side-lines watching the Governments bury their economies and waiting for them to start fighting amongst themselves. I wonder if he ever allows himself a smug grin?

  180. Reality check! "No need for Kiev to formally cede any disputed territories to Moscow". One of the main objectives of the SMO is protection of the people of Donbas. No way will Russia abandon the ethnic-Russians there to further genocide by the UA. Nor will Russia forget their vote to be part of Russia. Another of the principle reasons for the SMO is formal recognition that Crimea chose to join the Russian Federation. Putin stated that sanctions must be lifted. Will Trump remove the sanction he put on Nord Stream 2 in January 2021? Or scrap the 'Protecting Europe's Energy Security Act of 2019, as amended in 2020' - which clearly did the opposite, in America's favour? If Trump gives Ukraine 'everything they need to kill Russians on the battlefield', he'll put targets on American cities!

  185. The people of Ukraine should know two things: it is the Kiev Govt which has made them a target by attacking civilian infrastructure in Russian territory.

Zelensky and other Western clowns fail to understand that if you shoot down 38 missiles from their intended targets, some of them will land on civilians!

Zelensky complains that not enough weapons and ammunition are sent to Ukraine, but the US has now confirmed that more than $1bn worth of what they sent, was sold on the dark web! On 1st Feb 2022, Liz Truss proudly announced the UK's weapons transfer to Ukraine, that the UK had trained 22,000 Ukrainian troops and given £88m to Kiev - 3 weeks BEFORE Russia entered Ukraine.

Orders for the strike group were issued on 22nd Jan 2022. On 15th Feb, OSCE recorded 41 ceasefire violations as Kiev forces began shelling Donbas. 16th Feb - 76, 17th - 316, 18th - 654, 19th - 1,413, 20th/21st - 2,026, 22nd - 1,484. 24th Feb - Russian Forces intervened (military aid as requested under Article 51 of the UN Convention).
