This is really scary. These Russians did everything right. Even had sandbags on the roof of the truck as emotional support armour.

No matter how much damage they do to Ukraine, Ukraine will still have this precision strike capability. its simply drones, US satellites and artillery.

It must suck to know that an enemy that is much weaker is able to take you out anytime anywhere.

Zelinski signed a treaty with Russia with guarantees from France and Germany and did not respect it.. how do you call him?

Here is another dangerous example:

What treaty? There is no such thing.
Don’t spread faked propaganda
There were agreements signed by Ukraine and Russia.
Russia says she respects Ukrainian territory, while Ukraine respects Russian ethnic autonomy.
Putin has no interest in this little autonomy thing. He wants Ukraine for Russians, while sending Ukrainians he calls them Nazi into gas chamber.

You should at least educate yourself on the Minsk Agreement before answering with your usual BS rhetoric..

Minsk I

Ukraine and the Russia-backed separatists agreed on a 12-point ceasefire deal in September 2014.

Its provisions included prisoner exchanges, deliveries of humanitarian aid and the withdrawal of heavy weapons. However, the agreement quickly broke down, with violations by both sides.


Minsk II

Representatives of Russia, Ukraine, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the leaders of separatist-held regions Donetsk and Luhansk signed a 13-point agreement in February 2015.

The leaders of France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine gathered in Minsk to mark the occasion and issued a declaration of support.


The deal’s 13 points were:

  • Immediate, comprehensive ceasefire.
  • Withdrawal of heavy weapons by both sides.
  • OSCE monitoring.
  • Dialogue on interim self-government for Donetsk and Luhansk, in accordance with Ukrainian law, and acknowledgement of special status by parliament.
  • Pardon, amnesty for fighters.
  • Exchange of hostages, prisoners.
  • Humanitarian assistance.
  • Resumption of socioeconomic ties, including pensions.
  • Ukraine to restore control of state border.
  • Withdrawal of foreign armed formations, military equipment, mercenaries.
  • Constitutional reform in Ukraine including decentralisation, with specific mention of Donetsk and Luhansk.
  • Elections in Donetsk and Luhansk.
  • Intensify Trilateral Contact Group’s work including representatives of Russia, Ukraine and OSCE.
The Minsk II deal set out military and political steps that remain unimplemented.

A major blockage has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms.

In general, Moscow and Kyiv interpret the pact very differently, leading to what has been dubbed by some observers as the “Minsk conundrum”.

Ukraine sees the 2015 agreement as an instrument to re-establish control over the rebel territories.

It wants a ceasefire, control of the Russia-Ukraine border, elections in the Donbas, and a limited devolution of power to the separatists – in that order.

Russia views the deal as obliging Ukraine to grant rebel authorities in Donbas comprehensive autonomy and representation in the central government, effectively giving Moscow the power to veto Kyiv’s foreign policy choices.

Only then would Russia return the Russia-Ukraine border to Kyiv’s control.

The Minsk II deal offers a vehicle for direct talks between Ukraine and Russia and, due to France’s mediating role in the agreement, provides Macron with the opportunity to play the peacemaker on the world stage as he gears up for re-election at home.


Moscow may see Minsk II as a way to guarantee its central security demand – that Ukraine is never allowed to join NATO. Washington and NATO have already rejected that demand.


For ex-Soviet state Ukraine, the deal could present an opportunity to wrest back control of its border with Russia and end the threat of Moscow ordering another invasion, at least for now.


Kyiv says it will never allow Russia to have a de facto veto on Ukrainian foreign policy decisions, and many in Ukraine see the fulfilment of Minsk II as a concession to Russian aggression. But there may be room for compromise – all parties have expressed willingness for dialogue.

On April 22, Roscosmos will send technical proposals to the Department of Transportation and the Federal Air Transport Agency on replacing GPS with GLONASS equipment that will also be able to receive a signal from the Chinese navigation system.



The European Union has said it has no plans to impose restrictions on oil and gas supplies from Russia.. The reason for this, Josep Borrell said, was the lack of consensus on the issue - several member states had threatened to veto the decision to restrict supplies.

US is at war with Russia. This is openly killing Russians
This is correct. US is also guiding artillery shells on target. The only thing Americans are not doing is pulling the trigger. They are doing everything else. Russia must respond to this.

You posted it but what’s wrong from what I said?
It’s Putin that threw the agreements into a trash bin. He orders a racial motivated war instead.
The longer this war continues the more Nazi stories are invented.
That’s lame.

And because Russia seeks to destabilise my country right now, and seeks to prevent our NATO membership. And seeks to break NATO up and seeks to dictate terms to democratic countries and terrorises other countries and uses WMD's on foreign soil and (you wont believe this one) has invaded a sovereign democratic nation and seeks to change its borders. and and and.

Let us hope Russia succeeds in its mission in breaking up NATO and prevening other countries from joining. The end of NATO and hegemonic West is something that would be welcomed in many corners around the globe.

We don't know about NATO but Ukraine will be broken into pieces after this war.

Russia methodical grinding and destruction of the enemies in a slow and steady way was seen in Syria and is now happening in Ukraine.

Before Russia entered the war Assad controlled only 10% of the territory and now it is 75~80%.

That is why former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych has just told Zalensky in an open letter to stop the war at all cost and to swallow his personal pride if he really loved Ukraine.

Yes this is what we are fighting over. USSR could not do it, it had more population than US and at some point a larger GDP.

Now its russia. Alone. With emotional support from some corners fo the world.

We will see who wins

Coming from Putin's lapdog this isn't surprising :lol:

War could be stopped if Russia stops its illegal agression against Ukraine not the other way around. Thanks to Putin he has given NATO a reason to exist and more countries will join NATO even direct Russian neighbors. And he will do jack sh/t to stop that.
