Any updates on Ukraine joining the EU?

[limber wagon]

I would be extremely surprised if they didn't get some sort of temporary or special or whatever they want to call it membership

[scarlet crown]

Aleskiy Reznikov warns that soon occupants might try a mass-psychological mission by putting connection down and spreading fakes of Ukrainian military agreeing to capitulate

[cerulean canyon]

Agreed

This is like
Dire

[limber wagon]

All people that have spoken so far have been talking about how the EU is going to help Ukraine and how they should handle the ongoing situation

Also everyone has been talking about not putting up with Putins shit

[scarlet crown]

There's also been notices that the process of Ukraine joining EU will be much quicker than usual

[limber wagon]

Yeah

[scarlet crown]

still would be pretty long but at least it won't go on for more than a year

[limber wagon]

I have no idea. But I hope shorter

[cerulean canyon]

Same.

I feel like this is a
Worry about the techacalities later type thing

[limber wagon]

Hope someone is gonna talk about the plans for the EU army. They have been around for quite a bit, but there is a lot of division on the topic

[cerulean canyon]

[copper monolith]

yes

[limber wagon]

Which means that the EU can more easily supply Ukraine with electricity without the need of expensive hardware that can correct for differences in phase

Since they've been kinda cut-off from Belarus' and Russia's power grid for some reason

[scarlet crown]

yes

Honestly, its more and more starting to look as if this invasion backfired completely on Putin. instead pushing Ukraine far more to the west

I heard Putin has moved towards more ruthless strategies...

they're slowly losing it so now they just fire at civil structures and spread misinformation

"high precision strikes" = close our eyes and fire randomly somewhere within 10miles of the target

"high precision" = lol we struck a civil residence but who cares lmao

Can't evacuate the country?

Or why aren't surrounding country letting them in

[scarlet crown]

Rephrase?

[stone belfry]

Why can't people from Ukraine leave the country and go to other

Grammer sucks 😕

[limber wagon]

So you want everyone to just leave their houses, their towns, the places they have lived forever and just give it to the Russians?

[fierce arch]

russia is playing real life battleship holy shit

[lilac sparrow]

People don’t want to leave

[scarlet crown]

They can and they do, about 500k had already evacuated from the country

[fierce arch]

shoot somewhere random hope you hit something important

[scarlet crown]

But mostly yes, people just choose to stay

And there's also a lot of blockposts now and threat to get shot while crossing borders

[lilac sparrow]

It’s like the people in New Orleans who chose to stay as the hurricane hit

[stone belfry]

I'd feel it's better to start over than die

Atleast temporary

[limber wagon]

There is so much wrong with that I dont even know where to start

[stone belfry]

Don't come at my throat

[scarlet crown]

That's the difference between most people and ukrainians

[lilac sparrow]

If the government doesn’t force them out of their house, they rather not leave, even if it’s temporary, their entire life is just glued to their house

We're not here to run

its about the soil it lays on

Russias been using unsecured analogue radio, hindering long range comms and opening their communications upto jamming and interception

[limber wagon]

yes :P

[lilac sparrow]

Stay safe, they said precision strikes so I can imagine guided artillery instead of indiscriminate rocket artillery, but you never know with those Russians

[split aurora]

their precision strikes are precision straight onto civilian targets

[lilac sparrow]

Idk, seems a way to lose hearts and minds

Then again, thry were never in a 20 year war on the opposite side of the world

[split aurora]

Russias been bombing hospitals and kintergardens

they aren't exactly worried about hearts and minds at this point

[scarlet crown]

Sirens clear

[split aurora]

😌

also, if this is true

24 MLRS

Russia only had 45 TOS-1 MLRS + some 1A/2

Russias bleeding them

[lilac sparrow]

Nah, the big one is those jets and helicopters

[split aurora]

ye ik

I'm just pointing out

[scarlet crown]

Always take with a grain of salt, but even then - big numbers

[split aurora]

russias thermobaric weapons are fast running out

which is always good to see

[lilac sparrow]

Are the actually using those thermobaric version or are they using grads

[split aurora]

they using TOS-1s

the thermobaric shit

OSINT followed them all the way to the front lines

[lilac sparrow]

I thought they were using bm-21 to hit karkiv

[split aurora]

yeah I've heard they're using non-thermo's too

oh, russia has 2500 bm21s

welp they ain't running out anytime soon

[lilac sparrow]

Yea, those ain’t gonna put a dent in the economy, those multimillion dollar jets and helicopters on the other hand

And I’m also wondering what boats they destroyed

They are called boats rather than ships so I am guessing they may just be landing crafts or inflatables

[split aurora]

I forgot how many no-thermobaro's there were tbh

hoped they'd be knocked out, as they are whats causing a lot of civilian casualties

[hollow grove]

could possibly be a translation mistake

[split aurora]

landing craft is most likely tbh, I'd have expected to see it on the news if it was a larger vessel

[lilac sparrow]

It would be funny if Ukraine knocked out a couple of warships, but they may just be landing crafts

[hollow grove]

I mean they probably will be

unless they see the ship that was out of fuel and asked the georgian ship for fuel to be a loss

but I doubt that

[lilac sparrow]

Yea, a single ace that may or may not be real is being used as propaganda, it would be huge if thry knocked out a half a billion dollar warship

[leaden grove]

I‘ll be very happy if Putin and Lavrov end up in The Hague

[lilac sparrow]

Well it would be the artillery commander and the CG who get tried

[limber wagon]

Dont get your hopes up. You would need to get them there somehow

[leaden grove]

Well, the court will decide who is persecuted

[lilac sparrow]

Plus, Ukraine would need to win the war

Which I believe in them, but it’s not going to be for another few months

[leaden grove]

technically The Hague could issue an arrest warrant which would effectively bar them from travelling in quite a lot of countries

And Lavrov is either a complete puppet at this point or a truly evil man

[lilac sparrow]

This is going to be either a quick war followed by 20 years of occupation, or a few year long war where Russia pulls out because they got a new president

[leaden grove]

He just announced that Russia "loves the Ukrainian people" - mhmm, yes

[copper monolith]

Russians do, Putins government dont tbh

[stone vigil]

also the people who order the strikes, since artillery requires permission from higher up the chain

[leaden grove]

^^

I don’t think it’s the commanders alone who picked the targets

[copper monolith]

Fair yeah

[cerulean canyon]

What the fuck

What a ridiculously delusional man

[leaden grove]

Yup, same with the ambassador to the UN

they have no regard for human life at all

[lilac sparrow]

Not always, often they just get the coordinates from the cav scouts or jtacs and as long as it is in the mission zone the artillery commander usually has the discretion to fire, they won’t try lower enlisted, they are just loading the shells and doing the conversions

[leaden grove]

And bear in mind that a few years ago Lavrov was asked about whether recognising the LNR and DNR as independent states would be a good idea, and he replied that it‘s bad idea back then because they "would lose the rest of Ukraine"

[leaden grove]

I get what you mean, but I don’t think we‘re dealing with rogue commanders here

It‘s part of their strategy

they're blaring there almost every 1-2 hour

[leaden grove]

I wouldn’t know it, but the higher-ups who pick the targets do

[stone vigil]

I'd hope commanders have at least some form of map

[leaden grove]

^^

And the people on the ground surely also have received orders on which targets to relay to command

Because I think they can very much tell what is what

Your average foot soldier isn’t to blame here, except for the looting and whatnot

[stone vigil]

also consider the morale displayed by the soldiers, I doubt they'd willingly mark civilian targets

[leaden grove]

[lilac sparrow]

Oh yea, looting is a huge sign of an undisciplined army

[leaden grove]

And a lack of supplies

I just feel like they encountered way more resistance than they thought they would, especially among the population

[stone vigil]

^^

[scarlet crown]

It's already a well known fact that Putin was very optimistic about the invasion, not even accepting the reality of Ukraine actually putting up defences

[leaden grove]

Yeah

[stone vigil]

While the looting is definitely a sign of an undisciplined army, from what I've seen (correct me if im wrong please) they're looting food and basic supplies, that doesnt sound like just a lack of discipline

[leaden grove]

I got the same impression

[cerulean canyon]

Honestly. It's incredibly naive of him that he thought Ukraine wouldn't put up defenses

yeah the most that could be done wrt war crimes is to smack everyone involved with arrest warrants - Can't get them in Russia but it'll mean they'll never be able to leave the country again (bar maybe to like, belarus, china etc.)

[leaden grove]

I haven’t seen really expensive or fancy stores being looted, most of them were just gas stations or grocery stores

a lightnight fast grab of kyiv

[cerulean canyon]

He really did

[split aurora]

and the presidents head

[lilac sparrow]

Desert storm took more than a month after all, and that was the entire world against Iraq

[split aurora]

he went 100% in on that plan

it failed

and he had no backup

[leaden grove]

Exactly - and ultimately, investigating this war is going to help clear up a lot of things too

[cerulean canyon]

Desert storm wasn't as bad as this though was it

[split aurora]

iirc more russians have died so far then coalition in the entire desert storm

[cerulean canyon]

Yeah that's what I thought

[lilac sparrow]

Idk, you got the entire world against a nation with outdated equipment (talking about desert storm)

[rare walrus]

Yeah, most russian soldiers seem to not even have things like night vision

[split aurora]

4500 killed from coalition/kuwait, so assuming the ukraine figures are slightly overinflated, its similar to the ukraine death toll

[limber wagon]

And when you also include the amount of troops

[lilac sparrow]

Wars are slower than you think, the only nation that had ever speedran a war was Israel in the seven day war and germany in their Denmark campaign

[stone vigil]

desert storm was 43 days, that includes the air campaign iirc

what about that war in Georgia that lasted 5 days

[split aurora]

Honestly, I'd say russia had a decent chance of their plan working - that being a slightnight strike on kyiv and the presidents head on a stick

but russia needed much, MUCH better strategic planning and info-war usage

for that to work

Kaliningrad is a weird non-landlocked enclave surrounded by NATO and EU countries which is a left over from the German reunification period in the early 90s ( Germany didn't wish to take East Prussia along with the rest of East Germany - cus yknow the Polish corridor tensions post the treaty of Versailles.)

the Russians don't have any plans to mount any offensives from there atm since that would start WW3, but it's well defended.

[copper monolith]

lol (bbc)

[silk iron]

There were talks over the Polish-Lithuanian border being a 'weak spot' known as the "Suwalki gap" - This is because a Russian incursion from Kaliningrad Oblast and from Belarus could cut off the Baltic states.

It's why there's a strong NATO presence in the region

I kind of doubt that? It's a religious building, so attacking it could be looked very down upon by a huge amount of the religious population of Russia. But then again, this whole war has been heavily looked down upon by the population in Russia, so it's not like this would affect his popularity much

Oh that's the movie theatre, wasn't it? I thought you meant the famous drama theatre. Still awful though

[clear creek]

Russia is gonne need to pay a prety penny for restoration after they get pushed out

[coral idol]

Very scary though. Those are very close

[severe forge]

What happened

[coral idol]

A bit of a war's been happening for the past few days

[azure plover]

@viral junco what was the thing you'd mentioned about babyn yar? did you already post it here?

[severe forge]

I meant other than the normal war and devastation

[hushed magnet]

Where do we start

[severe forge]

And the shitshow that is Russian logistics

[scarlet crown]

Massive shellings. About a hour or so they bombed a hospital and living homes in Kharkiv, then a TV tower in Kyiv, all followed by mass reports of occupants storming stores for food

[split aurora]

they did it again

[severe forge]

Oh, so they're pulling a Serbia in the 90s

[copper monolith]

hourly war crimes

[severe forge]

That's very not fun

[coral idol]

The bombing of the TV tower happened very recently too, though it didn't fall luckily

[severe forge]

Will take at least 30 years to recover

[coral idol]

But honestly, i'm expecting it to be struck again at some later point

[viral junco]

It was posted earlier

[azure plover]

ah okay i'll go find it

[viral junco]

They took down a TV satellite and blew a part of the memorial up too

[severe forge]

The only reason why russia hasn't been beaten into a pulp yet is because they have nukes

[coral idol]

There was also the bombing of the Kharkiv Independence Square, which was targeted at the headquarters of the Kharkiv Oblast

[copper monolith]

tower, they didn't take it down

[viral junco]

My bad

[severe forge]

This whole situation reminds ne of the siege of Vukovar

[hushed magnet]

Did it get repaired? Cause i thought signal went down

[severe forge]

Are they at the death camps stage yet?

[copper monolith]

signal got fucked but the tower itself is still standing

[scarlet crown]

The reserves were turned on. Most of the channels are back in place

[hushed magnet]

Oh right gotcha

Nicee

[hushed magnet]

They cant even get basic supply chains figured out, i doubt they're even organised enough to do that

[severe forge]

Neither did the Serbs, they suffered mass desertion

[hushed magnet]

Also whats the economy looking like atm

[severe forge]

Tbh they didn't have that much ground to cover so fuel wasn't that much of an issue

[hushed magnet]

It looks like the ruble dipped in value again

[severe forge]

How much is it rn?

[copper monolith]

ruble is in rubble

[azure plover]

116.01 rubles for every 1 USD

[hushed magnet]

0.0087 USD

[azure plover]

something something deutschmarks

[hushed magnet]

So much for "we dont need diplomacy with the west"

[viral junco]

Was it not the reichmarck

Actually no i5 was just the mark

[azure plover]

i don't remember

i thought it was the deutsche marks

[severe forge]

I need a fact check, did Lukashenko broadcast the invasion plan on the Belorussian tv?

One of the main reasons for the split between FRG and GDR was that the GDR didn't take it

anyone able to give me some bullet points that have happened today so far?

just trying to catch up from yesterday

[nocturne tusk]

Yea, a few, legitimate and not.

[leaden grove]

I think the most important thing is that the EU parliament voted in favour of letting Ukraine become a candidate country, other than that there have been major missile attacks on Kyiv and Kharkiv

[nocturne tusk]

All of them are well off though

[severe forge]

Russian equipment keeps breaking

Igot Mosiychuk claims that Ghost of Kyiv was shot down... But the pilot made it safe, returned to base, and on his new plane updated his spree of destroyed enemy planes to 21

oh nice, I did hear about a EU parliament meeting. and yikes :/ guessing civilian targets were hit

[icy ridge]

👏👏👏

[leaden grove]

And there’s also an ominous Russian convoy near Kyiv that‘s about 60km long but they seem to be plagued by low morale, few supplies and low fuel

[unreal path]

oh the POTUS SOTU is happening tonight?

Kevin's girlfriend, Anna_Chess is doing a charity stream too!

[hushed magnet]

they havent even made it to kyiv and they have serious issies

[leaden grove]

Yeah, they hit the TV tower in Kyiv which is right next to a holocaust memorial and killed at least a family, and the central plaza in Kharkiv was also hit

[cerulean canyon]

CMK has hit almost 13,000

[coral idol]

The attack on the independence square in Kharkiv, the missile strike on the TV tower, and the attack on Babi Yar was some of the more notable things that have happened today attack-wise

[hushed magnet]

😔

[leaden grove]

Well, I have a feeling that they‘ll get frustrated and go for what they can do best which is shoot tons of missiles

[cerulean canyon]

OH NO

NOOOOO

[unreal path]

I do know the ICJ and ICC are starting investigations

[cerulean canyon]

[leaden grove]

Not really, these were both civilian targets, though in the TV tower case they seem to be trying to bring down comms (which is something they officially announced as well)

[hushed magnet]

L

[severe forge]

Oh yeah and Lukashenko broadcasted the invasion plan

[unreal path]

and even tho (I think) the ICC doesn't have jurisdiction in Russia. if they put an order to indict Putin then he would be stuck in Russia if he goes into any country that has signed with the ICC then can get him

[unreal path]

it seems like the issue isn't were their any war crimes or crimes against humanity, just how many and who did it

I know the UNGA is continuing their meeting today at 3pm EST

[severe forge]

This war is literally the yugoslav wars, but larger scale

[unreal path]

pretty much yeah

[severe forge]

Also 1 side has nukes

[unreal path]

and so far it's only involving Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus as far as I know

[cerulean canyon]

Do we think the US is going to step in
I know we said we weren't going to originally but things have changed drastically

[unreal path]

I wonder if Moldova will get hit during or after (after if this successes)

[split aurora]

holy shit, kevins raised $17.5k in 40mins

king

[cerulean canyon]

YEAH

[severe forge]

We might have to get ready soon because Serbia might get involved

[unreal path]

most likely aid but not directly

[leaden grove]

The ICC doesn’t have jurisdiction when it comes to the charge of starting a war of aggression because Russia hasn’t signed the relevant treaty (the US hasn’t signed it either, for that matter), but the ICC very much is able to prosecute key players when it comes to other crimes against humanity - not to mention that other countries could prosecute them too

[hushed magnet]

[split aurora]

very unlikely

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m91p3fT4huo&ab_channel=Reuters Also this

[leaden grove]

Listen to Stoltenberg‘s speeches today

[coral idol]

This was hard to watch

[unreal path]

the only thing I could see is if the UNSC approves either a peacekeeping mission or even the use of something like the UN Command like during the Korean war, since that way it would be under the UN flag and not under the US or NATO flag

[cerulean canyon]

Okay!
That's... Good i think?
I guess we'll see what the state of the union address brings

[split aurora]

an with Russia having a veto vote

that aint gonna happen

lmao

[leaden grove]

The UNSC can’t do anything, you can forget about it

[unreal path]

yeye sucks they can't but hey at least they are doing what they can do, helping in the way they can

[leaden grove]

Russia is going to veto everything

And they also have China on their side, albeit they‘ve lost a bit of support there

[scarlet crown]

https://t.me/verkhovnaradaofukraine/432 PLEASE SPREAD

[unreal path]

yeah but the UN Command has happened in the past so there is precedence even with the possibly of a veto

[leaden grove]

As Stoltenberg said, NATO‘s job is preventing an even bigger war in Europe

[cerulean canyon]

Totally understandable

[unreal path]

I think they will abstain anything related to this for now on, I highly doubt at this point China veto anything right now unless Russia really starts doing well

even then not 100%

[leaden grove]

No, it only happened because during the Korean War the Soviet Union (which had the right to veto) decided to boycott the UN entirely

Otherwise it wouldn’t have passed

[cerulean canyon]

Is there a link?

[leaden grove]

I can try to find them

[cerulean canyon]

Thank you!

[unreal path]

yeah but as far as I know if the UNSC is deemed not able to do it's duty of insuring international peace then it can go to the UNGA where there isn't any veto votes

which is why there's currently an emergency UNGA meeting going on

[clear creek]

Wait Putins wikipedia oage sais he onley has one legitimate kid and its Maria Putin

[leaden grove]

Uhh, there’s a joint press conference here, I think he said that while he was in Poland though: https://youtu.be/04P_IN9IMK0

[leaden grove]

True, that is a possibility

[unreal path]

I think they still have speakers for the next part of the emergency UNGA meeting at 3pm, but it's either the last bit and there can be a vote after or they will have to have another session

[unreal path]

plus there was a giant walkout by a lot of countries doing a conference in an UN Office, so we know there's a lot that could vote in favor

I wish there was a way for the non-permanent members to overule a veto or just get rid of the veto

[clear creek]

Btw when is NATO having its next meeting?

[unreal path]

https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_192634.htm?selectedLocale=en&mode=pressrelease

An extraordinary meeting of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) at the level of Ministers of Foreign Affairs will take place at the NATO Headquarters on Friday 04 March. The meeting will be in person and will be chaired by the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg.
This media advisory marks the opening of online registration for accreditation.

not a full NATO meeting but something to keep an eye on

this is their latest press release on the official nato website

[split aurora]

kevins just raised 6k in 10mins

wow

[nocturne tusk]

Officially yes , but Navalny found his lovers, their kids and how much stolen money he gave them

[unreal path]

alright we got a date for the ICJ

march 7th and 8th

[clear creek]

That man may be a modern king.... you now that onw english king who had a bunch of kids but no legitimate once

[unreal path]

from the ICJ website

[hushed magnet]

what power does the ICJ have?

[unreal path]

well since Russia and Ukraine are UN members they are ICJ members since the ICJ is a organ branch of the UN

[scarlet crown]

Most searched google results in Russia currently, people are waking up (most of them are searches like "losses" "hostages" "dead")

[hushed magnet]

ok but what can the ICJ do

[unreal path]

the only thing is it's not a binding thing, but it could be used

in say a UNGA vote

[hushed magnet]

like if when russia is found guilty, what happens

[unreal path]

wouldn't know until it happens

[severe forge]

Can you translate, my Cyrillic isn't that good

[copper monolith]

search terms of the last few days: losses (blue), POWs (red), dead (yellow)

[hushed magnet]

but what can they do is what im saying

[split aurora]

the most they can do is issue arrest warrents, for upto life imprisonment, for people responsible

They cant drag them out of russia, if the Govt wont co-operate, but it means they basically cant ever leave the country (bar maybe to belarus/china etc.)

[unreal path]

isn't that the ICC you are talking about?

[split aurora]

i get confused at all the various acronyms and branches

[unreal path]

ICJ isn't really against people but Nations

ICC is the one who charges Persons

[clear creek]

It woed make Putin a international crimenal woudend it?

[unreal path]

if the ICC rules yes

the ICJ only effects nation-states not individuals

that's the job of the ICC

[clear creek]

We might get a napolion ting where nations declear war on Putin not Russia Putin

[unreal path]

there also could also be a Tribunal setup just like with Yugoslavia

there's also a change that INTERPOL could get involved but again that would be against individuals

[scarlet crown]

That's so fucking late

[unreal path]

Just to add: ICJ is fully a part of the UN (each UN members is a member of the ICJ), ICC is part of the UN but not a primary organ/branch like the ICJ (not every UN Members is a member of the ICC), INTERPOL isn't part of the UN at all but works with the UN and has membership

[copper monolith]

😔

[keen sorrel]

I don't see how any of this helps if they're already not playing by the rules

[granite jewel]

What's the current situation?

I kinda stopped paying attention

[unreal path]

the thing is if these things go through it can help push more countries to support Ukraine or for the UN/other organizations to do more

[split aurora]

russias convoy to kyiv is getting constantly bogged down and barely moving, russias mass bombing towns, no large cities in russian hands

[unreal path]

it can show a lack of confidence that they can't just take military targets out and win

I mean this is lasting longer than expected

there's a reason why Belarus might be sending troops at some point if they haven't already
