Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

Lavrov:
We had to intervene to recognize the two independent republics and protect them from Nazi extremists.
I think Hitler was also of Jewish descent, so it doesn't matter if Zelensky is Jewish

I think Hitler was also of Jewish descent, so it doesn't matter if Zelensky is Jewish

I haven't met the statement on internet yet but if it is true They appear totally to lose reality.

Several new statements by Russian Foreign Ministry Lavrov.

The Russian military will not adjust their actions to any date, including Victory Day.

The Russian Federation does not require Zelensky to surrender, he must order an end to resistance.??!!

Employees of PMC "Wagner" do not operate in Ukraine, the Kyiv regime needs to talk about this to divert attention from Western mercenaries.

More than 300 billion dollars were actually stolen from Russia, most of them received for gas and oil supplies;

Moscow does not aim to change the Kyiv regime, only the United States is doing this.

Pretty good summary of the air war, the challenges of the russian air force, the ground war in the east and some geopolitical consequences with Justin Bronk from RUSI. The first four minutes or so are skippable, Mooch is an ex F-14 pilot, so he is pretty excited about TopGun Maverick.

Ward caroll is really good channel to follow in general. I considered posting this one before, but I forgot to heh.

No question, personally I don't believe that NATO would escalate into nuclear exchanges if russia was to use a tac-nuke on Ukrainian soil against Ukrainian targets. The situation would obviously be different if they used a nuke against a NATO country. The stakes for a symmetrical escalation would be way way too high, especially since NATO lack any tactical nuclear options. Any retaliation would have to be on Ukrainian soil as well I think, rather than a direct nuclear attack on russia. So the response would only serve to make a good chunk of the east uninhabitable.
Now you could do what the west traditionally does, launch a barrage of tomahawks at select locations such as command and control bunkers or depots to match the level of destruction, but it would have to be a *very* careful high wire act as to not drag NATO into a war it obviously doesn't want to fight (with good reason).

The purpose of a nuke would not be to scare NATO, it would be to shatter Ukrainian morale and resistance, somewhat like the bombs over japan. The Russians are fighting on Ukrainian soil after all, and showing that you are willing to sow the ground with salt, in a way that can't be countered by the Ukrainian forces would be devastating. Aside from taking out a big chunk of the army.

NATO wouldnt directly no....but like I said before it would start a conventional war with Russia right then and there...zamboni and sanitise ukr airspace and possibly more....and then do the same to the russian navy....hunt all of it till it goes away....cpl weeks tops.

....and Russia would try escalate to nukes when that all goes horribly for them.

So this keeps Russia fingers away from the tac-button while it saber rattles (predictably) anyway.

Basically after failed Russians blitzkrieg and pullout from north the war entered the attrition mode.

Russians still have massive advantage in armor, artillery, air force and somewhat in manpower. Thanks to it they still manage to advance, although very slowly. During the whole April they managed to capture only few small villages.

The most critical is advantage in artillery, because lame Russian air force is countered by MANPADS and armor is effectively countered by anti tank missiles and NLOWs.

So now the Ukrainians started to receive artillery. They still need some time to train and organize artillery units. It should help neutralize Russian advantage in artillery.

Yup, even ATGMs are targetting and bringing down helicopters fairly regularly now....given Russian propensity to hover long time in area (given nature of other threats).

MANPADs make situation even worse for russian helicopters (and for any helicopter generally)....in fact there is lot to observe and learn about now for other countries regarding their own helicopter use in battle formations. i.e Helis are increasingly vulnerable in situation with manpad intensity in adversary.


Artillery, good counterbattery radar and hopefully aerial sensor array will be good force assets for ukraine going forward. I think NATO has wargamed this all fairly well and will implement that specific assistance to ukraine increasingly.

Russia is its own worst enemy.

Not to forget, instead of disarmament of Ukraine, he made sure that modern weapon systems of all kinds constantly pouring into it. Hopefully some F-16s soon.
He also managed to lose EIGHT generals and countless high ranking officers.
He also exposed the shitty quality of Russian defence products (Ka-52, Orlan-10, Pantsir etc. etc.)

Sivkov claims that about 25-28 thousand Ukrainian soldiers were killed, twice as many were wounded, that is, half of the troops of Ukraine, which was originally in the Donbas.

He's probably counting all the civilian men, women, the elderly and children they've murdered too.

I know that the war is difficult
I know that the Russian bear, while sucks in attacking is surprisingly doing well in defense; yet, time is ticking and with each paaaing second, it will become even harder for Ukraine to regain control of their Southern territory
Kherson needs to be recaptured ASAP

There is no reason to take the side that said "there will be no war, this is just buildup" seriously (on these claimed numbers) after it has broken its own claim to begin with.

The Ukrainians are going to continue to give up land. It's the reality of this war. Despite Russia suffering heavy losses to this point, they still have plenty of manpower, armor and artillery, to continue their advances.

What's going to be important for Ukraine is that they continue to train up and equip the units they're holding in reserve and the units that will use western weaponry, as it's introduced into the theatre. As the Russians attempt to encircle the Ukrainian forces in the Donbas, it will provide the Ukrainians with unique opportunities to flank and and counter attack the Russians forces. Meeting them head on will only blunt the Russian advance and force a war of attrition, that Ukraine won't win.

Ukraine hates giving up territory, but they don't have any other choice at the moment. Like it, or not, it's going to take TIME to train Ukrainians on the use of the Western weapons that will challenge Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory.

Anybody who thinks that Ukraine is going to stop Russia in its tracks, aren't watching what's happening in the 2nd stage of this war. The key will be whether, or not, the West provides them with enough to push back. In the meantime, they need to continue to weaken the Russian attacking force. That will make it easier to counter attack in the future. In particular, as drones and artillery flow into the country, the destruction of Russia's artillery assets will be paramount.

Congrats!
7th visually confirmed downing of TB-2. Although your sources have claimed to have destroyed 36 in the first week of the failed invasion.
Do you think that these devil spawn Ukrainians are breeding them? How come they keep coming?

BTW
Russian birds visually confirmed losses:
9 Su-34
9 Su-25
5 Su30SM
1 Su-35S
13 Ka-52
1 Orion UCAV (probably the only operational one)
1 Orlan-30
30 Orlan-10 (many of them captured with their PET bottle fuel tanks)
Amongst others

Bonus:
600 tanks
Moskva!

Congrats again!

The Russian regime is playing a dangerous game. The Russian regime should chill a little if it doesn't want to be bitch slapped.

It already has got bitch slapped. This time it needs a hot rod up the chuff!

I wouldn’t really care for a fuckin’ little drone built to inflict pain! You still owe me an answer though, mystery man, what is that US flag stand for under your resume

That sure is an issue of credibility!

I guess he wanted to add credibility to his "deep thoughts", but as usual great ruzzian plan didn't work because of small but important details - such as knowing english for starters. I called him out early for use of google translate. He translated military equipment as cars .
One of the advantages Ukrainians have in this war - they know enemy's language, but ruzzians don't know a shit.

Plan to return Belgorod to Ukraine

Did you know that Belgorod historically belongs to Ukraine?

Volodymyr Zelensky was offered a plan to return Belgorod to Ukraine.

Historical facts of its being a part of the Ukrainian state of the sample of 1918 are taken as a basis.

As an argument for the successful implementation of the annexation of the neighboring region, it is assumed that the local residents of Belgorod have "Slobozhan" roots, are loyal to the Ukrainian authorities and have a similar lifestyle. In addition, the report states that more than 25% of the population of the region are Ukrainians, speak the national language and are ready to join Ukraine.

The decision has not yet been finalized, but even moving the border further from Kharkov will greatly facilitate further de-occupation actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.


PS: They would prefer Ukranian passport rather than RF as Ukraine is future member of the EU.

 

[UkroTurk]

The US may send troops to Ukraine

This was stated by Congressman Adam Kinzinger on his official website.

According to him, the US Congress has already prepared a relevant resolution.

However, even if it is accepted, American forces will arrive on the territory of Ukraine only if Russia uses weapons of mass destruction.
