[opal cloak]

Its a uav

[fierce arch]

a lot of it is also probably automati

c

[opal cloak]

Maybe

[fierce arch]

ik

[grizzled steeple]

They prbably take shifts monitoring

[molten tartan]

nice

I believe this is real

[opal cloak]

Maybe theyve just mapped out the coordinates and it tells it to do a bunch of circles around a coordinate or something

Idk

[rare walrus]

ah sweet

[buoyant sundial]

I wouldn’t be so sure…. something just doesn’t quite seem credible…

[molten tartan]

I mean

in all fairness

it's one of the official anonymous accounts

[rare walrus]

well, if they're actually watching what's going on, then id think that they would need someone to keep watch on what the drone is capturing

[opal cloak]

I see on like 12 different websites about the tv channels

[keen sorrel]

The fact all the channels are slightly out of sync is what sells it for me

[fierce arch]

its probably happening to a few tvs but not all

[molten tartan]

Yeah it's not all the channels

But it demonstrates a number

[opal cloak]

Its the governmental stuff

[molten tartan]

I find it credible anyway

[buoyant sundial]

Like, can we find any other sources that confirm or deny it though, I really want to believe that it’s happening but it just… Doesn’t quite seem accurate.

[fierce arch]

cyber militia strikes again

[opal cloak]

I wanna enlist in the army

As a sniper

[fierce arch]

and get free ptsd?

[opal cloak]

Exactly

[zinc talon]

While the situation is getting more emotional, it's hard to even trust people who are usually reliable with factchecking and not falling for false information

[fierce arch]

twitter is and never will be a reliable source

[grizzled steeple]

Twitter is your prompt to do more research

[fierce arch]

neither is reddit or any other social media

[zinc talon]

sure thing. But usually you have journalists, whose work is used for the article u read online talking about the situation

[buoyant sundial]

Neither is anything tbh… Nothing ever seems to get 100% of the truth.

[fierce arch]

dude

twitter gets like 5% of teh truth

[nocturne bobcat]

It's worth noting that there's a difference between a Tweet that summarizes an article and also links said article within the Tweet/replies vs a Tweet with no source linked

[keen sorrel]

You're not going to get much more confirmation of the tv thing than news articles that cite anonymous on twitter or Ukraine’s state telecommunications agency as a source, or other tweets of tvs showing the hax. Russia is unlikely to admit it happened after all.

[nocturne bobcat]

True

[buoyant sundial]

Russia is explicitly spreading fake info too.

[keen sorrel]

It is also rather inconsequential either way, so just believe it and get the warm fuzzy feeling

[fierce arch]

why is why you shouldn't use twitter

[zinc talon]

you can use it if you know how. But thats a thing for all social media (and news) sites

[solid adder]

e

[leaden grove]

The BBC just reported the same thing

[copper monolith]

ye

[buoyant sundial]

When Germany says you’re doing things wrong, you’ve got to wonder…

[nocturne bobcat]

hm

[keen sorrel]

It's worth noting that one of the things that made that a difficult decision is the fact competing systems exist in russia and china, and shutting russia out could accelerate those

[molten tartan]

Nice

[icy ridge]

HOORAY

[molten tartan]

I saw a video a little while back of defences being made in Odessa by regular citizens with hundreds of molotvs

[thin compass]

not all russian banks btw

[molten tartan]

they're preparing

[haughty yew]

Lets go

[opal cloak]

BBC

[leaden grove]

Yeah, I saw

[nocturne bobcat]

[molten tartan]

I hope Ein37 is alright

[zinc talon]

to avoid not beeing able to pay for russian gas and oil (among other things)

[fierce arch]

the point of swift is to be global

[keen sorrel]

Thus the concern about removing a country from it when other systems are trying to compete

[fierce arch]

no

the point is

if nobody else has swift

i mean

nobody else has the swift they want to use

its kinda worthless isn't it

[nocturne bobcat]

Ik the whole SWIFT thing is a big deal, but I'm wondering now if anything will be done about the fact that lots of Russian oligarch assets are invested in properties across the world

[fierce arch]

well

what htey did is

make them not able to access the properties

[nocturne bobcat]

I see

[thin compass]

countries shouldn't be buying russian gas oil etc to start with

[fierce arch]

what

[split aurora]

the main store of those is in London/UK islands... and the UK really doesn't look like it cares

[nocturne bobcat]

I need to read up a bit more on SWIFT cause I'm not wholly informed

[fierce arch]

why not??

they don't have an alternative source

[split aurora]

Nuclear power

[fierce arch]

at least, not for the most part

you can't just turn a switch on and switch everything to nuclear power

[cerulean canyon]

It's hard when Russia controls a lot of the gas oil export right. Or an I mistaken

[fierce arch]

thats not how it works

[nocturne bobcat]

Right yeah, though I did notice the London mayor called for properties to be seized(?) from oligarchs

Though I'd have to grab a source for that

[cerulean canyon]

Am*

[split aurora]

Okay but you can stop shutting down nuclear plants and start transitioning

Russia took crimea 8years ago

[fierce arch]

if it gets shut down

[split aurora]

and in 8years the problems only gotten radically worse

[fierce arch]

there's probably a reaosn

ok so are they just supposed to not have gas and oil

[molten tartan]

Picture from Odessa apparently

[split aurora]

Use alternatives where possible, and buy from other countries where its not

[fierce arch]

prices would triple

[split aurora]

for electricity usage gas and oil are substitutable

[split aurora]

yes but im not talking about switching overnight

[fierce arch]

well thats the issue

[zinc talon]

gas is mostly used for heat

[split aurora]

I'm saying theres no reason europe shouldn't have been fixing this over the last couple decades

they've ignored it

and made it worse

[fierce arch]

they have not been wtf

people just get pissed when gas prices go up even by like 10%

[split aurora]

Germany shut their nuclear plants down to choose russian oil

[cerulean canyon]

I imagine there was some sort of financial incentive for doing that

[keen sorrel]

Germany is also the world's largest importer of natural gas

[cerulean canyon]

Or something

[split aurora]

There was a huge panic over nuclear power

thanks to chernobyl/fukashima

Also I think jim is about to give a longpost about this

[cerulean canyon]

People really need to do their research when it comes to nuclear power

[keen sorrel]

I left a character in the textbox

[fierce arch]

[thin compass]

Russian nat gas / oil

[fierce arch]

nah

[keen sorrel]

Sadly that doesn't really mean much on it's own. That's essentially just saying "mayor wants government to do something"

[fierce arch]

basically all of europe is struggling

[silk iron]

I was watching the BBC news 20 mins ago, reporters in Kyiv are now in bunkers

[thin compass]

are we

[fierce arch]

i mean

i don't know what country you are in

[nocturne bobcat]

Yeahhhh, I mostly posted it in reference to the comment that no one seems to care in the UK about oligarch investments

[thin compass]

petrol/diesel has been up tbh

[fierce arch]

and i live in the usa so

[nocturne bobcat]

Cause the London mayor seems to care, even if he can't actually do anything

[thin compass]

thought so

[fierce arch]

ive heard prices have skyrocketed

[nocturne bobcat]

Just wanted to back my claim cause I couldn't remember specifics of what he mentioned

brain sleepy

[keen sorrel]

Prices have gone up for a variety of reasons over the last year or so, but this is naturally one of the bigger ones

[silk iron]

there's a lot of heavy anti-Oligarch sentiment in the UK, protests all across the country from Glasgow to Manchester to London, all standing in solidarity with Ukraine. Sadiq Khan as London mayor has some influence, but it's up to the UK government to act. Note the story is from yesterday... https://www.itv.com/news/london/2022-02-25/sadiq-khan-calls-for-london-properties-owned-by-putin-allies-to-be-seized

[nocturne bobcat]

Ty for the link, I swear some of these articles aren't being shown on my news search regardless of the criteria I search it under

Verbatim, keywords, changing the date

Mildly infuriating

[silk iron]

you won't get the lesser UK news sites stories as often being an American

[thin compass]

in the UK our electricity prices are going up but that was going to happen regardless of the ukraine situation so not sure the best metric for us tbh. we don't use hardly any russian natgas tho

[keen sorrel]

5% of our gas is from russia

However this will affect prices significantly for us still

[thin compass]

yee ofc

[silk iron]

The main causes for the rise in fuel prices are Ofgem raising* the fuel price cap for taxpayers in April, and the market bracing for that.

don't get me wrong the Russo-Ukrainian war is an exacerbating factor

[keen sorrel]

The reasons for that rise were things like higher gas demand in asia and the general fact of gas being seen as a transitional step between goal and greener energy. Then the relative lack of wind last summer and colder than normal winter depleting reserves.

Layla Moran (LibDem) used her parliamentary privileges on Feb 23rd to identify some of the Russian Oligarchs who weren't being sanctioned by the UK in the house of commons btw, there's a lot of corruption in the Tory party slowing or limiting sanctions being put in place against Putin's cronies (the ones who actually hold the Kremlins money and Putin's foreign property investments ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijinWrEOKAI

It looks like further sanctions will be put in place in the UK, due to overwhelming public pressure.

⚡️Kyiv administration: Kyiv residents must close their windows tightly.

Due to the shelling and explosion of the oil depot in Vasylkiv, a town 40 kilometers south of the capital, the wind can carry away smoke and harmful substances.

It's gonna be interesting how the International Criminal Court is gonna deal this when it is over

[fierce arch]

as i said

russia isn't part of the ICC

so

they can't do much

[icy ridge]

Huh why not

That doesn't make sense, since ICC is supposed to judge international War Crimes, like really high profile war crimes

[fierce arch]

its just how it works

[icy ridge]

Bruh US too?

so like

they could try to prosecute russia

but it would be very very hard

How can you prosecute Russia for War crimes then?

⚡️Russian forces fired at radioactive waste disposal site in Kyiv.

According to preliminary assessment of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine, there is no threat to people outside the sanitary protection zone.

concern.

[rare walrus]

Hmm, could be some kinda intimidation tactic? Still quite concering

[grizzled steeple]

They hit an oil depot and a nuclear waste disposal site. Surely on purpose

[rare walrus]

Yeah, it seems they’ve been hitting large targets and not trying to target Ukraine troops, might be a sign that they don’t exactly have the best recon or intimidation or somethin (although the oil thing could be a more logistical disruption type thing as well)

Whatever the case, the amount of warcrimes they’ve committed with their airstrikes is seriously terrible

[fierce arch]

i wonder what putin has to say about this

"you're misunderstanding!! it was all an accident!! i accidentally hit a cancer hospital!!"

[rare walrus]

I think he would try to blame it on Ukraine somehow saying they were neonazis or somethin

[split aurora]

This is intimidation/attempt at a biological attack

russia's new plan

make the entire place uninhabitable

so they have to move out

seize city claim victory

[rare walrus]

Hmm i dunno, i think putin wants to put in a puppet government which would be hard when the whole place is radioactive

Thus making Ukraine joining NATO impossible if this puppet government is put in place

[buoyant sundial]

The whole thing about how Putin is claiming the Ukrainians are neonazis… Is in my opinion utter bullshit. The Nazis were the ones who ignored human rights and tried to take over the world. And that seems to be what Russia is doing now.

At least they’re not causing genocide, though…

Very inspiring how well Ukraine is holding up against a much larger army

And seeing what all the regular citizens are doing in defence of their country

[coral idol]

It is. You’d believe considering how much the Russian army overshadows the Ukrainian one that Ukraine would’ve been conquered in 2-3 days. Especially considering this was a surprise invasion and Ukraine wasn’t really well prepared for a full scale invasion

mhm

I saw a picture of people mmaking molotov cocktails this morning. trying to find it again

Okay good!! I'm glad

[scarlet crown]

Yes

we're not planning to leave

It would be more dangerous to actually move now

[clear creek]

I see russia wants peace talks

[split aurora]

...but refuses to hold them on neutral ground

doing talks in minsk is suicidal

[limber wagon]

"peace talks", so far they're not really about peace, but more about ultimatums

[scarlet crown]

please read news fully

These "peace talks" are nothing more than another demand for ultimatums

[severe forge]

Nvm, it's Klitschko who's taking up arms

[scarlet crown]

Ukraine is rejecting them.

[limber wagon]

In the totally neutral Belarus who definitely hasn't been aiding russia

Yep, especially in belarus

Damn, those are quite some losses

if even 50% of that is true and accurate its still massive

[scarlet crown]

no one can verify for sure, but a good 90% of that list is true

If they proclaim war, I think NATO will be generous enough to share sanctions

[molten tartan]

A lot of sanctions are already facing belarus

if they go to war their economy will be completely destroyed

They aren't like Russia where they have enough to keep themselves afloat for a while

How big are their armed forces?

[scarlet crown]

if you hear what russian media says - it's almost enormous

[rare walrus]

they have like around 50k personnel i think

[scarlet crown]

while in reality they're already relying on Belarus to support the fire

[molten tartan]

Still

if Belarus really do join

that's gonna be a lot more to worry about

[rare walrus]

to clarify, this is active personnel

[scarlet crown]

not really

It's generally an unwise decision

[molten tartan]

IDK, 50,000 more soldiers to worry about is definitely something

[scarlet crown]

They're already facing sanctions and possible disconnection from SWIFT

Belarus can't hold as long as Russia with such sanctions

[rare walrus]

yeah, seems like it would just draw in more attention from like NATO or somethin and belarus likely doesnt want the economic downfall of it

[scarlet crown]

https://t.me/verkhovnaradaofukraine/180

[molten tartan]

Honestly they need those soldiers just to keep their population supressed lmao

[scarlet crown]

True ^ I think someone here had already posted a tiktok where even foreign journalists were pushed into prison vans in Russia

[rare walrus]

yeah, hopefully with the various russian soldier regiments quitting will lead to more realizing what they're being sent to do and hopefully quit as well

we're looking out for diversion and help the military with supplies

Big meeting in Baku https://t.me/UkrainaOnlline/19110

[rare walrus]

im lookin online, and it seems that if belarus did join the war, they would mostly have conscript paratroopers. im not sure why they would even need paratroopers tho, since they have a highway through Ukraine, however previously we've seen paratroopers get downed by ukrainian air defense so im not sure why they're still even trying with paratroopers (if belarus does join the war)

[stone vigil]

Paratroopers are easy to get behind enemy lines for sabotage operations

[scarlet crown]

https://t.me/verkhovnaradaofukraine/186 we're already making official lists of war crimes

[molten tartan]

you know it's bad when you can make a list

[scarlet crown]

True ^

[rare walrus]

yeah, however so far it seems all the russian paratrooper operations were dropping head on into the midst of the Ukrainian lines

[scarlet crown]

It seems like EU is also discussing plans on closing ports for russian ships

[zealous rapids]

Isn’t that war

Tho

[scarlet crown]

https://t.me/verkhovnaradaukrainy/6427 taken from channel of Verkhovna Rada

[scarlet crown]

why would that be

[silk iron]

no it's not war

[scarlet crown]

they will just decline in passing

they have full right for it, no matter the cause

[silk iron]

in fact you need treaties in place to allow a country's ship to dock in a foreign port of another sovereign nation

[rare walrus]

yeah, its their land and their port, not like international waters

[silk iron]

there was a news story of France impounding a Russian vessel two days ago, as part of the sanctions.

[hushed magnet]

Yeah it posted here a while ago

[scarlet crown]

I'm surprised they're not joining in full force, since Russia had already striked peaceful foreign ships

[silk iron]

avoiding escalation

[hushed magnet]

Yeah

As much as putin is basically asking for it, other countries joining full force would escalate things a lot

[silk iron]

very few European nations are prepared for conventional war, and desperately want to avoid it for the sake of their economies. Not to mention the tiny but ever present risk Putin goes crazy and presses the nuclear button if NATO or a military coalition directly intervene

[hushed magnet]

Especially if NATO gets involved

Big news here: Lukashenko phoned president Zelenskiy
They agreed that negotiators will meet on Ukrainian-Belarusian border, near river Pripyat
Lukashenko promises, that all air tech, rockets will stay on land during negotiation and leave of ukrainian negotiators.

cant believe im saying this but

Belarus sussy

[rare walrus]

hmm, let's hope that these negotiations go well

[silk iron]

I'm somewhat sceptical of negotiations

[rare walrus]

yeah im calling a tad bit suspect on this

[silk iron]

I hope things are vetted, it could quite easily be a trap to eliminate Zelensky

[rare walrus]

mainly because of how far putin has gone, it doesnt seem like he would be very open to negotiations, or at least conventional negotiations

[rare walrus]

yeah same here

[silk iron]

I wouldn't put anything behind Putin or Lukashenko nowadays

[scarlet crown]

same news, full english https://t.me/verkhovnaradaofukraine/192

[silk iron]

Note more small arms, anti-tank weapons anti-air stinger missiles are being sent - after Germany finally changed from their radical non-interventionist military long term policy... they are no longer discouraging other countries in the EU from sending military support to Ukraine. Scholtz is no longer just sending 5000 helmets either

[rare walrus]

ah thats good to hear

[silk iron]

Germany's defence spending is planned to increase to 2% of their GDP... this was unthinkable before the Russo-Ukrainian war

also Sweden and Finland non NATO members are now planning to join NATO, because of the war.

"Genius" move by Putin to intimidate countries which aren't part of NATO against joining NATO, by invading Ukraine a country with ambitions of joining NATO (albeit was not gonna happen with separatist states).

[rare walrus]

ah i see, didnt russia like threaten them about joining NATO as well?

[silk iron]

yes

[rare walrus]

well, good luck to russia to invading countries when there's countries that banned Russia from their airspaces surrounding said countries

i just realized that is a very confusing sentence i just stringed together there

[scarlet crown]

https://t.me/verkhovnaradaofukraine/193 The V group has been destroyed!

[silk iron]

Russia won't have the mannpower or equipment even if they do succeed in this war for any wars in the near future (which is becoming increasingly likely they won't due to a enormous morale disadv)

[clear creek]

So is zelensky gonne be at thosr negotiations ore a mediator

[scarlet crown]

He's not going to be there

[clear creek]

Ok

Few

[scarlet crown]

We are sending negotiators

[rare walrus]

indeed, they're gonna be recovering for years from the economic cost of the war, not to mention putin's reputation with the world will be destroyed

[silk iron]

This has to be one of the largest strategic blunders we have witnessed throughout history unfolding before our eyes.

[rare walrus]

correction* : putin's reputation is already destroyed and falling further

[clear creek]

First euro war of my life so didend now how it went
