Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Beery]

Chechens also siding with Ukraine good chance it will cause another conflict there.

I read that as the Chechens were foiled (by Ukrainians) in their attempt to kill Zelensky

Sounds like Chechens are against Ukraine if they are trying to bump Zelensky off?

There’s some sided with Ukraine it’s on a post in here many pages ago they are clearly divided.

 

[Martin F]

Exactly. And those C-17s that head east and go dark aren’t joyriding.

None have gone dark that I have watched, they're landing in eastern Poland.

Yes but as above they are divided some have joined Ukraine post on here with one the leaders asking the rest to stop fighting for Russia.

local village supermarket are doing a collection so we've filled a rucksack full of socks/gloves/toothbrush/toothpaste/bandages/scarf/ibuprofen. Every little helps I guess.

Similar situation as Russians. The troops ordered into Ukraine by their Putin stooge leader don’t necessarily represent the population at large.

I'm amazed at how little briefing they have had. Putin has literally sent them to their death to fight a violent war with Ukraine under the briefing of a training exercise. I understand why Putin has had to do that, but to actually do it to your own soldiers is horrific.

I kind of see it that the army really do - or at least did - feel they were there to liberate the people and that the people wanted liberating. They aren't going to run them over because at least as far as the boots on the ground are concerned they are there to help not to destroy the general public. Warning before firing on buildings to let civilians get out supports this, as well as not running them all over. Various soliders have been reported as saying x or y, hard to verify that, but can see it in the actions.

Which ones are you watching? The Mildenhall departures stream? Because there are a couple other departure points.

 

[MackemBob]

Yes, haven’t been very visible so far

Although it seems like ukraine forces have preferred to stay in cities/urban areas where it will be a lot more difficult for Russian. Maybe a lot of ukraine hardware is in and around the cities

There was an appeal to the population not to post pictures online of the Ukrainian military so as not to give be away any info.

The modern day, “Careless Talk Costs Lives”.

This was my idea, send Boris in under the pretence of peace talks, secretly arm him and when he sees Putin he blows him away. Boris is a hero, Putin gone.

Some videos do suggest this but could all be propaganda as stated.

And Boris gone too, most likely.

Not ones set to fight I don't think - he just looked like a Ukrainian Citizen that was Muslim/Chechen. Had the yellow tape on his arm. Would be a pleasing turn of events if the actual troops had done a 180 mind

Punching holes in gas tanks, is that along the lines of Karate chopping seagulls in half?

Win win

At least they'll be able to knock out a ham shank without headache

Seriously though, nice touch.
