Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[sur]

Ukrainians have been killing their own countryperson for years and continue to do so now, as per this French journalist:
One-eyed instigators have been and are blind to that.

Why Russians hit schools? Probably because Ukrainian soldiers take positions inside schools:
And make bunkers in apartment buildings:

Finnish foreign minister has stated, talks about joining NATO is not on agenda.
He further said, in such times opinions of people can be influenced very fast, but we have to make rational decisions.

Something like that.

It is on the agenda but even if it is not on the agenda you can't fool the Russians because they have ordered 64 F-35s and why would a small country militarize to that extent? Russia knows what is going on and the reasons Ukraine even got invaded was due to militarizing as Russia knew Ukraine was never gonna be accepted in NATO anyways but they were already defacto members and an extension arm that was militarizing and the same with Finland whos even more of an extension then Ukraine

They can do that, and could be doing that. As for what I am aware of is individual European/North American countries using private contractors. Rather than a joint-NATO weapons distribution program. I do suspect they probably are using uninformed soldiers.

Private contractors could only prolong the war and hope in the end to wear Russians out. In the process, civillians have to suffer for a long time. But a well organized "volunteer" army could drive Russians out quickly with "volunteer" ground troops armed with the best weapons the west can offer and "volunteer" air force armed with F-35s.

Looking through this thread and the Twitter and other news bits,it would seem Russia is getting serious losses, men and equipment.

I'm baffled with Putin, maybe he does not care for lives of his men but his losing the PR war as well. Their forces seem to be pushed back constantly and some of these videos show them just sitting there like ducks ready to be taken out. This looks like an army of amateurs not a professional force.

Like I say its perception but it seems his losing propaganda war big time.

I doubt they will go further than Ukraine but your comment on East Orthodox alliance could come true. Russia has been slowly trying to promote orthodoxy and disagree with the west extreme liberal/secular ideology, they have no choice aswell, if Russia follows the west then over the years Russia will become the west sidekick. The west ideology is very attractive, they promote it through Hollywood, media, education system and slowly its creeping all over the world and conquering. I've met many European and they are religious and conservative, family type of people.

Bookmark it his going to move on Finland as soon as this operation in Ukraine concludes which will be around June-july and move on Finland around October or December-January.

You may ask why? Because his sanctioned and has nothing to lose at this current stage hence no better time to deal with them will come again then currently and then use Sweden as bargaining chip to re-negotiate to remove the sanctions while taking out two security issues back to back in UKR and FL and all sanctions lifted he can rest for decades after that.

Also note Finland is getting cocky behind the scenes their fate is sealed either way

Why would be invade Finland in the dead of winter. It’s impassable during that period.

I think they have learned a lesson from the winter war.

It is favourable For tanks and heavy equipment movements

More like flaring rather than shelling.

These are just flares.

Another flop propaganda.

Flares in parking lots.

(2) = Road & green belt.
(3) = L-shape Perimeter inside L-shaped wall.
(4) = Flare#1 (not a shell) falling down slowly in parking lot (not constructed yet at the time of 1st image). Flare diminishes momentarily due to wet parking lot, then heat of flare evaporated water & it glows bigger again.
(5) = Flare#2 burning beside the light pole in parking lot.
(6) = Grass lawn.

@3:39+ Fire from ground going up and hitting the "Training Center" adjacent to the plant. Especially @3:45-46 & @4:08+ bullets fired 2 O'clock from the main fire hit two other buildings.

Point is, bullets are being fired from one building closer to reactors towards other two buildings further away from reactors.
From news it may be that Russians had already taken control of plant, but there were Ukrainians in this what's being referred to as a "Training Building" and they fired upon Russians TOWARDS THE DIRECTION of reactors. Russians responded by fire which is going away from reactors.

Three of Putin’s commanders killed on frontline​

Kyiv vows to ‘hit back harder’ if Putin attacks Kakhovka dam - LIVE

Moscow has resorted to the plot because “nuclear blackmail did not work”, the office of President Zelensky claims

www.independent.co.uk

Three Russian commanders have been killed after moving towards the frontline in a suspected bid to restore momentum to Vladimir Putin’s flagging invasion of Ukraine, Western sources have claimed.

Ukraine still has ‘significant majority’ of military aircraft available, US defence official says​

While Ukraine has suffered military losses in the air, experts are surprised that Russia’s far larger military did not quickly destroy Ukraine’s air force and gain domination over the country’s skies as Vladimir Putin launched his invasion, allowing his country’s ground forces to press ahead unimpeded.
“The Ukrainians still have a significant majority of their air combat power available to them, both fixed-wing and rotary wing as well as unmanned systems and surface-to-air systems,” a US defence official speaking on condition of anonymity told Reuters.

( not named yet - will come out in a day or so - but does suggest - russia's communucation lines are totally hacked - and these commanders were specifically targetted to be killed ).

What? That's absolutely not true. The ANA and US were absolutely getting thrashed on twitter by pro-taliban accounts. Even the media was coming out and predicting the ANA was on the verge of collapsing.
