A Russian serviceman witnessed a close explosion of a cluster munition in Ukraine. It is believed to have been an American 155mm M864 DPICM cluster artillery shell, used by the Ukrainian army in M777 howitzers. The M864 shell contains 48 M42 submunitions weighing 208 grams and 24 M46 submunitions weighing 213 grams. When the M864 shell explodes, it produces up to 300 fragments with a lethal radius of up to 6 meters.

- 1.5 million 155mm, 152mm and 122 mm artillery shells.

Footage of an attack by Russian VT-40 FPV drones, controlled via fiber optic cable, on a Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank. The video was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia, near the village of Novosergeevka. The Leopard 1A5 tank was created in Germany in 1987, it is a modernization of the first Leopard-1 tank. The Leopard 1A5 tank is maneuverable, it weighs 42.2 tons. But it has thin armor, in Germany it was decommissioned in 2010. The Leopard 1A5 tank was attacked by two Russian FPV drones.

4 points that they have agreed, this was a wasted agreement. I am not going to write it, This was a start nothing more. What is not acceptable is ther is no Ukraine talking, this means Americans are going to sell it ouy.

Had the US and EU not been trying to bury Turkiye in every direction she pursued her security interests, Turkiye could have done a lot more for Ukraine. But instead it forced Turkiye to take a very cautious approach with Russia.

According to Fox news, 3 steps.

1 ceasefire
2 elections
3 peace agreement

lol

This would be great. Finally a significant amount of money is being discussed at European level. The EU needs to treat its defense much more serious than it did Covid, and should be willing to spend more on defense than what it did in combating the pandemic.

If Europe becomes serious with investing in its defense, Russia will stand no chance in the long term.

Update on my post earlier today. The EU military aid package for Ukraine will actually be worth a minimum of $6.2 Billion usd and might wind up being worth more than $10.5 billion usd, depending on what can be sourced from existing inventories and / or contracted in short order for quick delivery. Europe appears to be commited to doing what they can to fill potential gaps in military aid left by the possible upcoming decisions by the Trump Administration.

While I absolutely hate Trump and the US's vulture-like mentality, I have to agree with him on his recent statements

Trump hismelf stated: "why did Zelensky start this war". Another clear sign that Zelensky and his western a**hole friends were intentionally pissing Russia off

Zelensky did have 3 years to make a deal, with the Istanbul deal proposed by Erdogan, could have presumably saved Zelensky's ass as well as most of the territory Russia controlled after the war but the filthy zionists, Boris Jhonson and Victoria Nulland had another say and obviously the master-strategist and jewish clown, Zelensky!

Now with Russia advancing even more than ever and Ukraine having personnel shortages, expect hard concessions from the Ukrainian side

The US, the UK, France... These countries are geographically distant from Ukraine and Russia. Türkiye is a neighbor of these two warring countries.
Erdoğan probably has a different perspective on this.
This seems to be exactly what Erdoğan meant by holding an umbrella over Zelensky's head.

 

[blackjack]

Well, there you have it, or that's how it looks if Europe wanted to fight Russia without the US.

Starmer: I am going to send troops to Ukraine, who is with me.

Poland, Germany and France: Lol, you are on your own.

So not only is it painfully obvious that Ukraine is going to lose the war because of depleted manpower but not even Europe except the UK is willing to send their military to assist Ukraine. Russia didn't even have to do anything while Starmer helped Russia embarrass Europe on what an EU army can do without the US if they were to fight along Ukraine.

Of course people always pick at things and search meanings. But it's also that Erdoğan is a tall man, and it's raining. He usually holds his own umbrella or it's held by one of his guards.

Interesting times ahead, nonetheless. Looks like Zelensky cancelled his Saudi trip and will head back to Kyiv directly.

I truly do not understand, so called Islamists shilling for The Russians . I don't understand why the hate for Ukraine has become totally personal for them?
I don't understand how so called Muslims support that both Trump and Putin falling over eachother to prop India???
I don't understand how people don't see that after Ukraine, Muslims of Balkan, Caucasus, Central Asia and ultimately Turkey are in the menu???
I truly don't understand how these people ignore history and mentality and etc about Russians ?
I don't understand so called secularists here, how in the light of these events they cry about F35?
Truly the most basic logic.
It seems to me whatever people may or may not believe, they know nothing about it.

I usually follow protocol events closely. I like them. Apparently, some were cancelled because of the rain. But where Erdogan is standing with Zelensky, there is no rain. They are standing under a canopy. In my opinion, Erdogan is demonstrating his support for Ukraine to the interested parties. And his statements during the press conference were encouraging for Zelensky. Headlines like "Turkish aegis for Ukraine!" have already appeared in the Ukrainian media.

 

[FiReFTW]

The rat aka beggar Zelensky is really annoying, he is acting all tough and like he is some important figure when he really is an insignificant little bug. It's about time someone put him in his place.

We always got to be careful when dealing with the US/UK axis. They always play good cop/bad cop. So as Trumps talks like he's going to throw Ukraine under the bus, its predictable that the UK plays good cop and talks about sending 10K troops.

In the context of money, the US, UK, Russia historically up until modern times have been the largest plunderers on earth. Ukraine has incredible natural resources. Trump appearing to sell his arse to Russia, while their governments made ultimatums for 500billion worth of Ukraine's natural resources is potentially a bargaining tactic. Trying to pressure the Ukrainians to give more of their natural wealth away to the Americans. If they scare the Ukrainians that they could lift support, it will force them to accept their outlandish demands.

We must also understand that the americans initially enticed the Russians to invade Ukraine. They were saying things like were not going to go to war for Ukraine, threatening Turks not to sell Ukraine weapons etc. But the moment Russia took the bait, money and weapons poured in. But the only weapons that poured in were the ones that can continue the meat grinder going on. Also worth keeping in mind as was seen in Syria and Libya, In Syria the Americans and Russians were co-ordinating together against the Turks. In Libya the French and the Russians were doing the same against the Turks. So Russians probably thought the relationship is quite good with the major western powers, so much so that they could ally with them against a NATO ally.

There is also another reality about the anglo-saxon world, they have for much of the last 200 years used the Russians as a balancing act. Used them against Germany, Used them against the Turkic/Muslim Axis, Used against the Chinese and the Japanese. They will prop them up as they have done in both world wars as a counter weight against the non-white power axis, the Turks, Chinese, Japanese etc.

View attachment 73689

Dont think too much about the umbrella gesture
Erdogan is quite the tall man, compared to other presidents/prime ministers, which means he or one of his guards traditionally holds the umbrella
The reason he tilts the umbrella is to cover the other one more from the rain as to not get soaked. He did the same thing with Malaysian PM when he was visiting Malaysia not long ago

To sum it up, it is just a courteous gesture indicating proper manners and nothing else

 

[Lool]

Exactly, this is what is gonna happen to Ukraine rn
The big vultures, the US and Russia, will split Ukraine and the EU will foot the bill
That is why Zelensky is going to Erdogan and other leaders to ask for support

I reiterate, Zelensky should have accepted Erdo's peace proposal 2 years ago
