"🇵🇱 Sejm adopted a resolution commemorating the victims of Holodomor in 🇺🇦 in 1932-1933 & condemning 🇷🇺's modern attempts to use hunger as a weapon.

442 deputies of the lower house of the 🇵🇱 Sejm voted for resolution to mark the 90th anniversary of Holodomor.

As noted, Holodomor was "a deliberate, planned and consistently implemented action by the despotic Bolshevik regime that ruled the Soviet Union, aimed at overcoming the resistance of 🇺🇦 population & subordinating it to the oppressive state."

It's emphasized that Holodomor consumed millions of victims&remains a "bleeding wound of modern 🇺🇦history."

🇵🇱 deputies emphasized that 90 years after these tragic events, 🇷🇺's again using hunger as a weapon, blackmailing the world with the prospect of its occurrence".

The fun part about Russian soldiers in Moldova is they've been there since 1992. Russia started moving west and then, for some reason NATO become popular with our former colonies.

A ballet instructor, she moved w her London-educated daughter. In Sept, she said she would fight in Ukraine if asked. The Italians drink too much! No life energy. Unvaxxed Ukrainians steal all the jobs! Now: the water here in Tyumen tastes funny. I'm cold. The ballet is bad. LOL

Seems like right now there will be winning and losses in places and this will probably take as long as until one side gives up

#

and there will be no winner in this story

fossil horizon
#

We're basically at a ww1 level stalemate right now

#

Everyone is fucked

#

We can just hope that with our help Ukraine will befuckes less than Russia

paper cedar
#

Pretty much but I wouldn't call it ww1 level yet because it is only been a few months

#

the stuff that Ukraine did in September was absolutely legendary though

#

they really succeeded on getting so much terrain

fossil horizon
#

True

paper cedar
#

that's why it felt like it isn't stalemate anymore

fossil horizon
#

Iy would be amazing if they manage an other breakthrough like this

#

But for now it's just back and forth around Soledar

paper cedar
#

It would be but I doubt or at least extremely low chance

#

and the longer time goes the more time Russia has to reinforce their area

fossil horizon
#

Althought I've read that both sides are amassing forces around Zaporozhia

#

Which could mean huge battles at the end of winter

fossil horizon
#

I don't know on which side the time is honestly

paper cedar
#

yeah making it even bigger stalemate over time lol

#

I guess we will see how it goes

#

War is very complex after all

#

except in video games, thank god for that

fossil horizon
#

Ukraine is getting some really nice stuff rn

paper cedar
#

yeah they are but if you think about it Russia probably as well

#

Russia is using quantity while Ukraine is using quality

#

and remember Russia can always produce new stuff

#

who knows what they are making now

fossil horizon
#

That's the thing tho

#

Thry can't

#

They have been cut from advanced components

paper cedar
#

Wait really?

fossil horizon
#

Well yes

#

They didn't produce everything themselves

paper cedar
#

oh

fossil horizon
#

Most stuff was imported from abroad

#

They are trying to get around it but it's not like they can keep up with their losses

paper cedar
#

I didn't know that

fossil horizon
#

For example I've read that they may be reusing processors from cyvilian stuff such as washing machines they've suddenly tripled their imports of

#

So it's not like they can't produce anything

#

But they can not replace any advanced hardware in any real quantity

paper cedar
#

I thought they would have like still factories and other producing stuff from USSR days

fossil horizon
#

Heavy industry was their thing mainly

paper cedar
#

lmao alright alright good point

fossil horizon
#

And don't get me wrong they still have masdive material advantage

paper cedar
#

of course, they are literally huge

fossil horizon
#

But not only their advanced stuff cannot compare to western hardware but also they cannot replace it fast enough

#

That's why they're using t62's and such

paper cedar
#

That's true, but remember that Ukraine also doesn't have that as well
they are purely relying on other countries gifting them stuff

#

that's why that feels like is slow as well

fossil horizon
#

That's why recent leopard deal is so huge

paper cedar
#

yeah it is amazing

fossil horizon
#

And alsk US being more on board with the "fuck Russia" team we've got going here in eastern europe

#

It gives me hope

#

But for now it's just a static attrition warfare

#

We have to wait and see

paper cedar
#

yeah I agree with you

also all of the advanced hardware Ukraine is getting is designed specifically to counter the kind of stuff Russia can make and use now that they've been cut off from advanced electronics

Note these challenger 2 tanks are slightly outdated leftovers, from the ones which aren't being upgraded.

copper monolith
#

Yeah the West can't really throw all their modern equipment, better to get rid of the older stock, which is still better than what Russia has

silk iron
#

apparently the British defence ministry report was concerned these tanks would be outclassed by current generation Russian MBT tanks (T-14 armata).

#

Further intelligence indicates the quantity and battle-readiness of this generation of Russian tanks were exaggerated.

copper monolith
#

Yeah the armata probably won't see much combat, it's mainly being sent there for propaganda purposes

lilac sparrow
#

i wouldnt be suprised if it was the modern stock, we have a large budget dedicated to detering our near peer threats, i think a war currently going on in their country is enough to deter any country from starting another war

copper monolith
#

Plus there can't be that many build in just 2 years 💀

silk iron
#

I've heard of the T-14 being present at military parades

#

it's rather unfortunate tanks weren't sent earlier from the UK because our defence ministry fell for Russian propoganda oh well

copper monolith
#

There have been yeah, but for most of the shows those were just prototypes, maybe they had actual battle ready ones last year after it went into production

silk iron
#

I think the most important thing about the UK sending tanks to Ukraine (along with artillery ammunition) is it makes it politically easier for Germany/France/ but most importantly the US to do the same.

copper monolith
#

I wouldn't really take anything on those parades seriously because it's just Russia trying to show their domestic and foreign audiences that they're still cool and hip and modern and powerful

#

Maybe this year we'll see the west send their ATACAMs since Ukraines been begging for those after showing how effective they are with the much shorter range things like HIMARS

silk iron
#

Maybe this year that'll happen assuming the war drags on, I'll keep you informed with any British-Ukrainian news stories.

#

The Russo-Ukrainian war has gradually moved into the background of the UK's public conscious , with national scandals/economic hardships taking precedent.

copper monolith
#

Yeah not seeing much on my twitter timeline, but that's probably because I like a lot of furry art and funny maymays lol

#

Great algorithm

silk iron
#

probably just as well really, the War although important is draining to keep up with.

copper monolith
#

I mainly check things on the "for you" tab, but I know well I'll be blasted with Ukrainian tweets if I go to my recent cuz I follow so many

silk iron
#

As a further point there's still plenty of corruption in Londongrad, where Russian oligarchs bypass the scantions and the "OFSI" does barely anything about it.

#

Not that they have the funding to do so.

#

So long as the corruption is benign, and doesn't directly siphon funds to the Russian war effort, and it's just wealthy Russians lining their pocket, while not supporting the Kremlin it's almost permissible. However I doubt that's entirely the case.

#

"Paraphrasing from the most recent private eye article - There's a clear discrepancy between the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS)'s estimate of £31B Russian investment in the UK (in 2021), while the Office of Financial Sanction Implementation (OFSI) reports for £18.4B Russian assets in the UK (in 2022, I presume) are frozen.

#

Where did this missing and unfrozen £12.6B of Russian investment go? Who knows.

#

It's just sad to see the sanctions getting undercut so needlessly

there's been so many situations like that, and every time the Ukrainian intelligence managed to geolocate the places and they got shelled and HIMARS'd

there was also the times that the Ukrainian intelligence noticed that a lot of Russian devices were connecting to Ukrainian cell towers thinkW towards the start of the war

copper monolith
#

I remember a map shared of mobile network pings on a bridge when they were retreating from Kherson

#

actual 100s lol

and there are also events of phone calls being intercepted where Russians were either panicking or bragging about war crimes to their family members

like ah yes im in enemy territory not only will I give them a way to figure out where I'm located, but also have all my Calls, Text messages, and Data be sent through their towers...what could get wrong
