You know thats just BS staged.

One of the problems emerging for Ukraine will all this aid is the logistical and training nightmare for all the different types of equipment. If NaTo was a little smarter they would have tried to standardize on some pieces of equipment to help the Ukrainian military keep pace even after this conflict is over

Good thing most of the artillery provided shares the 155 or the Russian version 152.

I already pointed that out long time ago that its not possible just by looking at the map.

That looks like a helicopter. How do we know it didn't belong to Ukrainians? It could be an old photo as well.

Planes can turn into helicopters.

I looked into the details of this and it's very clearly staged.

This leads me to believe that the entire threat was faked, and is nothing more than propaganda from the Kremlin.

Not really. The Ukrainians held up in Azovstal dont have enough firepower and manpower to retake mariupol or put it in jeopardy. The Russians have effectively sealed it off from the rest of the city.


As for Kherson im hearing A LOT of conflicting reports. I have no clue who tf winning over there.

Also what happened to the second assault of Kyiv that the US said was definitely going to happen in the second stage of the operation (few days before the second stage begun)?

Mariupol forces the Russians to either keep badly needed troops in Mariupol to blockade Ukrainian troops in Azovstal, which jeopardizes other fronts, OR they withdraw forces to reinforce other areas, allowing Ukrainian forces to breakthrough. Azovstal is HUGE, it is pretty much impossible to completely lock it down without tens of thousands of soldiers, which Russia needs badly to redeploy in other fronts.

Agreed makes no sense keeping Russians troops bogged down in Azovstal. It’s troops your not moving to reinforce other positions, they should have a week ago scorched earth that place and not waste time on holed up people. I just don’t understand some of these Russian war planners and I think Putin is to involved trying to make this a little operation number and scale wise. Just dumb planning.

They were only attacking Russian perimeter in Kherson.

Same for Russians, all breakout attempts did not succeed.

The moment any side got advantage in the no mans land in between Mikolaiv, and Kherson enemy artillery comes, and shells them out. Both sides are afraid to get under each others MLRS fire

Kherson has been able to make some minor gains, as well as strike a vital Russia CC in Kherson. This is cumulating into a much larger offensive, which was gonna happen before, but Russia's donbass offensive forced Ukraine to halt their previous offensive.

They can't. Azovstal was built to withstand a nuclear strike. Bunker busters have had little to no effect.

The only way to clear out Azovstal is to send in thousands of troops, and risk thousands of casualties. This is why Putin halted his offensive, he knows that Russia would lose too much to try and take Azovstal, so he's attempting a siege to starve them out.

So apparently they're attempting to standardize what Ukraine is getting. The UK anf US in particular have been training the Ukrainians on NATO standard systems, particularly artillery. The UK is also training the Ukrainians on other systems such as military vehicle that are built to NATO standard.

They initially went the Soviet equipment route because that's the thing Ukrainians were trained on and urgently needed, but for the medium to long term it seems that NATO allies are going to start slowly replacing Russian equipment with superior NATO equivalents and provide training for them.

These are "gentlemanly" voluntary terrorists here to murder Russians after having murdered Syrians.

You mean the Arabic on top? Apparently that equipment was already in Ukraine and was being made for some foreign Arab country, but when the Russians invaded, they started using them against the Russians instead.

That's how exports work, you build systems to customer specifications. If this was meant for Somalia, the system would use the Somali language. If it was meant for Greece, it would Greek. If it was meant for Iran, it would use Persian.

By the way, this isn't up for argument, this has already been confirmed, as similar systems meant for exports have been used since the beginning of the war.

Also, Russia has also been recruiting foreign fighters.

Once again, I find it very pathetic that non-whites (especially brown people) are so invested in this white war. This white worship is disgusting.

Hopefully they get long range missiles.

US State Department approves foreign military sale of $165 million worth of ammunition to Ukraine

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday, as heavy fighting continued around the country. Follow here for live news updates.

www.cnn.com

The US State Department approved a foreign military sale to Ukraine of $165 million worth of “non-standard ammunition” Monday, according to a release from the State Department. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the sale on April 24, the release said.

The move was relayed to the Ukrainians during US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s trip to Kyiv over the weekend.

A senior Defense Department official told reporters on Sunday that “it's the kind of ammunition that the Ukrainians still use because they had so many of their systems are ex-soviet.”

“The proposed sale will improve Ukraine’s capability to meet current and future threats by maintaining the operational readiness of its forces," according to the State Department press release.

The announced sale is just one of several ways the US is providing Ukraine with military assistance. On Thursday, US President Joe Biden authorized another $800 million of military assistance to support Ukraine using presidential drawdown funding.

Ukraine has requested to buy “various rounds of non-standard ammunition” including, but not limited to, “152mm rounds for 2A36 Giatsint; 152mm rounds for D-20 cannons; VOG-17 for automatic grenade launcher AGS-17; 120mm mortar rounds (non-NATO); 122mm rounds for 2Sl Gvozdika; BM-21 GRAD Rockets; 300mm rounds/rockets for MLRS "Smerch;" VOG-25 grenades for under barrel grenade launcher GP-25; 82mm mortar rounds; 125mm HE ammunition for T-72; 152mm rounds for 2A65 Msta; transportation; and other related elements of logistical and program support,” the release said.

I doubt that the Ukrainians will get long rang missiles. There's a clear limit to what NATO and the US are willing to provide, weapons threatening the Russian heartland is one of them.

Besides, long range missiles won't help much as the immediate fighting is within Ukraine itself.

Ukraine has already hit the Russian heartland. I don't see any nukes falling. Ukraine needs something like ATACMs from HIMARs or something similar. Long range missiles will definitely help because Ukraine is huge and there are many places where Ukrainians want to hit heavily defended places occupied by the Russians like supply depots and airbases, command and control, etc. That helps affect the frontlines because Russians can be affected by shortage of fuel and ammo.

i was wondering if someone would reply on that idiotic statement about syrian mercenaries.
