It seems so. Presumably because once the thing is stuck, broken or out of fuel it’s fucked and the last thing you want to do is be in it or near it as it will be a target. Or you will.

So I think for fairly minor problems the Russians are just leaving it and fleeing. If it’s not the Ukrainian army who pick it up and know how to operate it then the government need to be advising civilians to just destroy what they find. Stop the Russians picking them back up.

if the Ukrainians can't use it they should booby trap it so if the Russians come back. bang!

The elephant in the room is that the Ukrainian government is basically a US puppet regime and the Russians want to replace it with one of their own. The corruption in Ukraine runs deep and has ties back to the US, that's why Joe Biden's crackhead son was on the board of Burisma in Ukraine making millions in a role he wasn't qualified for.

For sixteen days in March 1921, rebels in Kronstadt's naval fortress rose in opposition to the Soviet government they had helped to consolidate.

Thank you for posting this.
There's a Russian Museum of Art in Malaga and there's a section devoted to portrayals of the gruesome punishments and executions meted out to rebels largely in Czarist repression. Pure propaganda of the time.
And as an oldster I wish I knew more of Russian history than I do because to study the mind set of the past and present of Russian leaders in any depth must give huge insight.
I suspect that the brutality, isolation and paranoia of Putin is just the latest incarnation of a strain running deep within the history of the political leaders of Russia. @Bulmers posted an extract from Fordham University earlier in this thread about Kruschev's speech to the congress after the fall of Stalin and equally fascinating, both worth a read
Putin seems as brutal and as cold as any that have gone before him. As brutal as a Russian winter.
And may I recommend 'The Maisky Diaries.' He was Russian ambassador to Britain from 1932-43 and it provides a fascinating insight into the Soviet perspective of WW2 and the real and perceived grievances that have (mis)-informed relations ever since.
Too awful the images coming out of Ukraine. God knows how this will end. Pray for a putsch.

if this is indeed true why??

The National Pulse itself is hardly free from accusations of bias. Ran by a former Breitbart editor who is a Brexit Party member and has ties to Donald Trump.

I wonder why you read such material?

I agree but I still think Biden is a poor leader of the free world.

He's not perfect, but he is vastly experienced, and has the skills and patience to get everyone together on the same page. He has done this well, as have the leaders of the EU and NATO

Why didn't Putin attack Ukraine between 2016 - 2020 when he had his "puppet" in charge of the US? Would have made things easier for him surely?

Putin didn't go to war when Trump was President because Trump would give him whatever he wanted without a bullet being fired

The current situation is because Putin isn't getting what he wants

Anyone got this arsehole on bbc news from the Lenny Henry centre complaining black refugees aren’t getting the same amount of coverage that white ones are. He’s just said that the news are only reporting on people with blonde hair and blue eyes. Fancy using this disaster to make a petty and selfish point.

Poland are refusing to accept some people and migrant workers in Ukraine, with African passports, most of whom are black believe it or not. Not a selfish point, but a humanitarian one. But never mind, eh. Fancy someone trying to make a petty selfish point.
