"Western intelligence shows Russia is amassing aircraft close to the border with Ukraine, an indication that Moscow is preparing to throw its jets and helicopters into the war to support a stuttering land offensive. The fear of a looming air war in Ukraine has prompted allies to prioritise...

There has long been an opinion in open spaces that one must allow any content, as long as it's not against the rules, to adhere to freedom of speech. Moderators should not be in the position of deciding who is truthful and who is not. As the famous saying goes, "I disapprove of what you say, but...

It's possible that it was the US. However, I do have some issues with the article: 1. what the author refers to as "indirect references to the attack" when Biden stated that that if Russia invades there will be no NS2 was a completely normal statement in the context. Putin believed that Russia...

I think you have a misguided perception of Slavic society. Slavic society is not homogeneous. It wasn't historically, and it isn't today. The people inhabiting, for example, 16th century Krakow, would have been (by the standards of the time) prosperous, enlightened and educated, protected by...

The USSR would have lost the war without aid from the US. This is not up for debate, and is according to both Stalin, Zhukov and Khrushchev. Here is a quote from the memoirs of Nikita Khrushchev: "I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin's views on whether the Red Army and the...

These are edited highlights of our interview with General Valery Zaluzhny, on December 3rd 2022. He began with his personal view of the war. (You can also read edited highlights of our interview with Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine.) Valery Zaluzhny: For us, for the military, the war...

If for some reason anybody still thought that bisbis was from Azerbaijan, this should dispel that. Israel is one of Azerbaijan's biggest allies; its military sales are 69% of AZ's total and according to US officials Israel even has an airbase it can use in AZ.

They most certainly do matter. While Republicans may win a majority, much of the legislation will still be passed with votes from both Democrats and Republicans. Plenty of legislation requires more than a simple majority. Additionally, while support for funding Ukraine is greater among...

They have retracted the letter after intense criticism: https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/25/politics/pramila-jayapal-ukraine-letter-democratic-backlash/index.html They claim that the letter was written and signed in June and released now by a staffer without approval, a rather dubious claim...

I can speak a bit about Kyiv. Considering the circumstances, conditions are more normal than you'd likely imagine. There are occassional electricity outages and people have to shelter when there's an air alert, but damage from Russian attacks is generally quickly repaired, restaurants and bars...

I agree with others here that an attack from Belarus is extremely unlikely. It went horribly the first time when Kyiv was much worse armed and Russia better, today it would be a massacre and Ukraine's North is better prepared. An invasion from Belarus could even be a positive development for...

You're forgetting that casualties in Mariupol, the city that Russia had the ability to shell and bomb freely, are estimated at over 100,000. This is 10 times greater than what is claimed in your article in regards to Mosul. I'm not justifying US actions and generally dislike whataboutism in an...

Here you go for pzh2000: vimeo.com/753607528 The video is very recent (based on climate), and there are others.

Ukraine's Wishlist for the US: — Rocket-propelled projectiles for MLRS (M30A1, 300 km for HIMARS) — ATACMS missiles (300 km) — Rocket-propelled projectiles for MLRS (122mm for Grad) — 155mm artillery systems M109 — Projectiles 122mm caliber — Projectiles 152mm caliber — Projectiles 155mm caliber...

We're looking for a ban on tourist visas, not all visas. And what the EU is currently doing is even less than that - it is currently eliminating a visa agreement that gives a simplified procedure for tourist visas to Russians.

Unfortunately, no. The agreement in question gives Russians a simplified procedure for receiving visas. It's the only thing the EU agreed to suspend, but Russians will still be able to get visas through the same procedure available to most other countries.

1. The US signed a contract worth $182m with Raytheon for the delivery of additional National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) to Ukraine. The estimated completion date of the new systems is Aug. 23, 2024. However, these are additional NASAMS to the ones Ukraine is already...

Several announcements today to coincide with Ukraine's Independence Day: The US will provide: - 6 National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) with additional munitions for NASAMS - Up to 245,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition - Up to 65,000 rounds of 120mm mortar ammunition...

Unfortunately the A-10 would be mostly useless for Ukraine. Edit: thank you @I_Love_F16 for liking my post, you're actually what we need. ;)

Limited success stories that I know of. A switchblade was recently used to take down a Russian communication tower and I've seen and heard of a handful of other stories, but overall it doesn't seem like the Ukrainian army is finding significant use out of them. This war is certainly used as...
