Путин: «Вообще, вся эта возня вокруг дополнительных поставок вооружения, на мой взгляд, имеет только одну цель — затянуть как можно дальше вооруженный конфликт»
То есть все уже идёт не по плану? Или всё-таки пока ещё идёт в точности по заранее продуманному и выверенному плану?

soooo long term who knows
There's a threshold of 15% of his MPs submitting no-confidence letters in him that's been crossed and it means that all of the party's MPs vote on whether to get rid of him or not
imo he'll narrowly survive the vote
56% confidence is my guess
(as in, 56% vote to keep him)
Yeah, he'll definitely survive but the margin is potentially crucial
Ukraine is basically the entire defence for keeping him apparently
yeah he's trying to make himself into a churchill
We'll know the result hopefully by 8pm UK time (seven and a half hours from now)

Nadine Dorries is a UK cabinet member
Seems legit
did she mean “we are at war with ukraine as the enemy” or “we are at war alongside ukraine”? that’s the only possible explanation i can think of
Nadine is... fucking stupid
She stood up before a committee and proudly declared "96% of people support my plans to privatise channel 4!"
then her colleague said "actually, no, 96% of people oppose it"
[Paraphrased]
she fucking misread her own poll
to think 96% of people supported her, when only 4% did
sounds like the bri’ish version of marjorie taylor greene lmfao

sure thing buddy
just talks about how they managed to progress, without mentioning how much time it was spent trying to get there, and talks about fighting all the "nazis, foreign pmcs, right sector"
Boris Johnson survived the vote 211-148 which I think unfortunately is bad news for Ukraine, a divided party that's supposed to fulfil its duty to help

Sievierodonetsk in Luhansk Oblast is currently the focal point of fighting between Ukrainian and Russian troops. Some observers have called on the Ukrainian army to withdraw from Sieverodonetsk to Lysychansk, which is separated from it by a river and is easier to defend.

One interesting thing I learnt recently: Ukraine is losing a lot of artillery because of poor maintenance: some of it is having to be sent back to Poland for repair. On the one hand, Ukraine absorbing Western hardware much faster than some expected. But this isn't without issues.

One hundred days of all-out war has been plenty of time to get acquainted with the Russian troops.

Zelensky stroking Johnson ego
smart
I gotta say, Zelensky is pretty good at knowing what to say and when to say it to extract the most support from the west
With Zelensky singling out the UK weapons transfer, and Boris being in charge of said transfer, Johnson will see it as a compliment to him personally
And such ego stroking with Johnson will almost certainly result in him dumping a shit load more weapons
as most say, public speaking and acting really did wonders for Zelenskiy
mhmm
and it helps a lot of western leaders are very egotistical
especially the uk
and helps the uk has a lot of spare guns lying around
we don't fight many conflicts, we have a big military budget and a small (80k, dropping soon to 60k) standing army
sooo we have quite a few surplus guns
Ukraine is now forklift certified

my personal desire is to see boris pop on TV."oh yeah we had a secret program to train ukraines to fly typhoons"
then see a squadron of Europe's most advanced fighters proceed to utterly demolish a Russian group
partially because they'd help ukraine a lot... partially because the typhoon is a sexy jet and I want to see it in combat
Its a real shame one of those captures Britons, mans been a true fighter for good

any cool links?
nope
just don't say random things then
aight, basically just said it to scroll all the way down, sorry tho
ah, alright
this thread is like the most serious place in the server, and we're all eager to hear any news on the war, just saying "Ukraine" is kinda boring
we're all pro Ukraine, anyone not is not allowed here because we have a rule against fascists
Alright, I haven’t been keeping up on the situation for the past month or so, so I need to read up
hm
the biggest battles are in the east of Ukraine, the Donbas, Russia being very cringe and all
and some ukrainian offences in the south
Looking at the map, it looks like Ukraine is doing well at protecting central Ukraine
Either that or Russia isn’t attacking there as much
yeah
hmm
yknow, I think the shift in the war is what's gonna be really testing ukraine now
The wars moved from manouevar warfare, to classic position warefare
artillery duels, small offensives, entrenched positions
Before there was a lot more importance, at least on the surface, of bold tactics, encirclemwnts, paradrops, that kind of warfare
where now seems to be just "lob shells at rhe other till one side breaks"
and I wonder if here is where the sheer numerical superiority of the Russians arsenal begins to threaten ukraine
hopefully the continued weapons shipments can make up for that
but I am concerned
himars has gigantic range and pinpoint accuracy, they need to get it asap
although i will add that once himars starts getting delivered, ukraine will need quite a few for them to start making a real difference. just 20 or 30 won’t cut it
often times a small amount of great weapons is still inferior to a large amount of good enough weapons
although i have heard some rumors that ukraine’s requests for artillery are partly a trick to make the russians let their guard down. they advance, thinking ukraine is out of artillery, only to get obliterated by the battery they didn’t expect to encounter. i hope there’s at least some truth to this and ukraine still has a semi-sufficient amount of artillery left
The main issue I find a lot in news is that our artillery is running out and tge western support doesn't come fast enough to make a full change
kinda stumped
Sometimes I wonder why some people are this stupid and how this tweet got 9.5k likes

So - how many weapons does Ukraine require to repel Russian invasion?
It’s nearly 1,000 artillery pieces 155 mm, 200 MLRS systems, 500 tanks, 2,000 IFVs/BMPs + air defense + munitions + counter-artillery radars etc etc.
Such quantities would be of strategic efficacy.

⚡️Zelensky: Russia lost biggest number of troops in many decades.
Zelensky said that most likely the Russian military commanders would send poorly trained conscripts to the front. As a result, this month Russia’s death toll could reach 40,000 people, he added.

The death toll of Russian troops and their allied forces, estimated at between 15,000 and 32,000 by different sources, is the highest Russia has suffered since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan or arguably since World War II.

China, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey are among the largest importers of fossil fuel from Russia. “Fossil fuel exports are a key enabler of Russia’s military buildup and brutal aggression against Ukraine,” the report reads.

True that
Things dip in and out of the news cycle as interest fades or grows
Mhm, people say that the ukraine war is the “first war fully documented on the internet” but thats false, the war in Afghanistan was also documented on the internet too, but it was done by and for Afghani so no one really picked it up
And the interest and news coverage is very rarely proportional

#Ukraine: A Russian 220mm MRL battery was targeted by the 81st Separate Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Army - they report that at least 3 9P140 Uragan multiple rocket launchers, 2 fuel truck, 9T452 transloader, 2 fuel truck and a Kamaz with crane were destroyed.
i've read up on what's going on with ukraine's artillery, the problem seems to be that they don't have enough 152mm shells for their old soviet howitzers and they don't have enough western howitzers for effective use of their 155mm shells, so either the west needs to send more 155mm howitzers or they need to dig up some 152mm shells asap
GM, twitter time
Yeah, all western countries need to send their remaining old 152mm shells and the west needs to flood them with 155mm howitzets
Today we commemorate victims of communist terror. Mass deportations by Soviet regime started on June 14,1941. Tens of thousands of Lithuanians were forcibly deported to gulags in Siberia& Far North.We must not let history repeat itself.Russia's terror in Ukraine must be stopped.

⚡️Zelensky: Ukraine won’t use long-range weapons to attack Russia.
Zelensky said Ukraine won't shell residential areas in Russia if the West provides it with long-range weapons.
“We are not terrorists,” he said, adding that Ukraine needs the weapons to liberate its territory.

won't attack russia
and won't attack residential areas in russia
the tweet claims two very different things
Wouldn't blame Ukraine if they get their stuff and start lobbing shit at military objects, as long as civilians wont he harmed
sadly, civilians will be harmed
Even if they only target military objects
Ukraine is justified attacking military targets
sadly, civilians will be caught in the crossfire
such is the horror of war

It’s Wednesday, and time for some lovely news - remember when Germany promised to build a new permanent base in Lithuania and deploy more troops there? Guess what, not anymore
"According to western officials, Berlin’s latest proposal is for a brigade to be stationed in Germany and deployed to Lithuania — where it has led the existing 1,000-strong multinational battle group since 2017 — only if needed. The force would also have a permanent headquarters in Lithuania, manned by 50-60 staff and the rest of the personnel would regularly come to the country for training, the officials said"
I mean... "Germany has proposed basing most of the 3,500 extra troops it plans to contribute to Nato forces on its own soil rather than in Lithuania, significantly softening its initial backing for more foreign forces to be stationed in the Baltics"

RIP alexei navalny https://www.reddit.com/r/UkrainianConflict/comments/vc2cov/alexei_navalny_disappeared/
translation according to other people: Alexei Navalny was taken away from the penal colony No. 2.
His lawyer, who came to see him, was held at the gate until 2pm, and then was told: "There is no such convict.
We do not know where Alexei is now and to which colony he is being taken.
my take: if he isn't dead now, he almost certainly will be by the end of the month

Brave lads, massive respect
You know I’m just putting my opinion here
Do you lot think that people have kinda forgotten about the whole war?
Maybe not forgotten but because it started months ago it’s kinda just faded out for some people
i mean yeah as people just kinda... get used to it and the shock fades
hah
i mean it happens for everything, even school shootings. there's only so much you can react to the same thing over a span of time
There’s a difference between a school shooting and a war between countries
Both are shite but different in scale
that is true, but especially the farther away you get the more you can ignore all of it. kinda a shame that it means nothing happens in the public consciencness
people will go on with their lives unless they don't want to or can't
Not here in Lithuania, every corner has a Ukrainian flag, an ad to donate money to the war effort, and just many people driving around with UA flags
Yeah, they have
as was expected
Lithuania its probably different because you're always about 5 paces from Russia
and theres a lot more closeness to ukraine both geographically and culturally
people do for everything
when was the last time you heard about the war in Syria
Nah from here it’s just the news mentions it but aside from that no says anyt
or, if they actively chose to keep interested
The only way it affected me personally was because supply from Ukraine was halted
I still remember it
I keep up with it
It’s a literal war after all
I mean
you say that
but how many other wars do you keep up with
...probably a lot less then are currently ongoing
Hell I remember when there were talks of potential war between North Korea and I was keeping up with that
as it is for most people, not your fault, a consequence of a biased media
Oh definitely
A war between two countries in say Africa or the Middle East is less likely to be talked about than a war involving Russia
Wars rage on in Yemen, Mexico, Syria, most of Sub-Saharan Africa, theres a huge war seemingly ready to break out in the congo
India?
Twitter only bitches about war when someone they hate is involved
India and Pakistan troops shoot at eachother every once in a while
India has some border crisis if I recall
plus occasional insurgencies in north india
Oh right forgot about them being at war
Honestly the thing that pissed me off the most about the whole thing is that no one seems to care about the other countries
But when the media starts going about how big bad Russia is killing Ukrainians then all of a sudden it’s “ oh we need to stop wars 4ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
Yeah
India and Pakistan fucking HATE each other
Oppose all wars, not just the ones that affect white Europeans
Yeah i know that just forgot they were in active war
on BBC news one of the people they interviewed said it was horrible that "people with blue eyes and blonde hair" were being killed
and that just about sums it up
tbf, less of an active war, more of just ongoing skirmishes
The fact you can go from Tanzania to Thailand in one single unbroken line of wars/conflicts is very depressing
Tanzania how about algeria
The amount of conflicts in Africa is insane, half of the counties are in a border conflict somewhere and the last time we really cared much about them was during the bush wars when there use to be countries like Rhodesia
The fact people ignore Yemen is horrible
350k+ dead, almost all civilians
By saudi arabia, who use british jets and american rifles to shoot at civilians
define ignore
And those people can do nothing, as they don’t have the budget to afford AA
do you mean "not acknowledging it at all" or do you mean "acknowledging but not doing anything"
If a single country in Africa can get access to the stuff we are sending Ukraine, they can probably end their war in a month
The vast majority of people aren't even aware of it, the media is aware but puts very little coverage to it, governments are aware and do nothing
oh, and also define "people"
I wish I knew how to word what I want to say here
the problem is
if someone's not in a position to do anything about an awful situation
it's really bad for their mental health to dwell too much on it
and it's also really bad to expect them to do something about it when they have no power to do anything
Yea his name is Neall Ellis, held off a civil war in seira Leon outside the capital almost single-handedly
yeah thats fair
The media and the govt are the main culprits
who have done wrong
The media don't tell people about it, on purpose, fhe government ignore war crimes and massacres because oil money :DDD
Well to be fair, last time the government tried to intervene with one of those border conflicts, our troops were videotaped being dragged behind cars until their heads fell off while the people were cheering
So we pulled out
We help in Nigeria, South Africa and such, they are friendlier there
its not biased media
of course western news are gonna focus on things that happen close to the west
and the war in yemen and syria are not changing nearly as quickly as ukraine
Yea, this ain’t the first nation that Russia invaded in the last 20 years, it’s the one that is the closest to the west that we do care about it
I mean
I'm not saying intervene
I mean "Stop giving Saudi Arabia planes"
We're militarily arming the saudi's
when has america literally ever cared about funding oppression
if theres money in it for the taxpayers they're in
i dislike the fact we fuel us military planes in shannon airport personally
though its some deal that was made and i dont think we can rescind it
Nato ally, we also fuel other country planes in our airports
I dislike how many US bases we have here
German?
...in large part, due to Harry Dunn
Harry Dunn was a 19year old brit, riding his motorbike
The wife of a US-Diplomat who worked at a nearby military base was going the wrong way down the road
slammed straight into him, killing him
She rushed to a plane to america
And america refused to extradite
Sooo she murdered a brit, on British soil, and is getting off completely scot free
and that pisses me, and a large part of the country off
Yea thats fucked up
(Happened about 2019, under Pres Trump)
in the uk?
Yeah
My thoughts on NATO are... mixed, and I don't know enough to state a view either way
It makes sense why we have them
No, if manslaughter happened then she should be extradited
but I dislike them eitherway
yep
Sadly america is... america
and there's nothing we can do
Do you classify murder differently? There should be a reason
Car crash, unintentional, would land you 5-10 years if I remember correctly
nato gets a bad rep because of the countries part of it but honestly its done a lot of good
The police ruled it Death by Dangerous Driving as the official charge
Did your country already try her for this
Only asking because we do have double jeopardy where we will also refuse to send her back if she was already found not guilty once for this crime
If not I guess this entire case was lost in politics
We can't "try" her without her being here
like i'm american so obviously im gonna be biased toward an american led alliance but
There was a civil case in Virginia, US, where the Dunn family got an undisclosed monetary payment
In March 2021, Sacoolas' lawyer Amy Jeffress said that, since the charge pending in Britain against her would not usually result in a prison sentence in the US, her client was not inclined to return to the UK to face trial. Jeffress also said that her client would be willing to undertake community service in the US and make a "contribution" in his memory, as well as meet his family.
Shithead.
Sadly it seems she's gonna get away with it
If that’s the case then there is nothing that can be done
is this a like one time situation or does it happen often
She can still be tried in criminal court
But we already agreed to give up Assange
This specifically is one time, but abusing diplomatic immunity is more common
In the 1980s there was a big protest outside the Libyan embassy jn London
one embassy worker fired a gun out the window
and hit a nurse in the crowd
because of diplomatic rules... our police couldn't enter the building
or arrest the shooter
without the permission of the Libya Government
who said "lmao no"
so we expelled the entire embassy, and relations have never recovered
Diplomats travelling to embassies are allowed to carry Diplomatic Bags
Which cannot be legally searched or checked
by the host nation
on entry or otherwise
that's been abused to smuggle in guns before
diplomatic bags have been used for so much spy shit too lol
For example, this was used to smuggle the guns used in the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege in London
yeeep
diplomatic rules exist for a reason but they can be easily abused
Theres more then a few stories of people living in embassies
living in a tiny island of safety
during operation just cause, the leader of panama was actually able to hide from the us military by camping out in the vatican embassy
they weren’t allowed to enter so they just blasted rock music across the entire embassy until he surrendered
at one point the guys on the speakers were taking song requests lmfao
lmao
operation Just cause
The United Nations General Assembly and the Organization of American States condemned the invasion as a violation of international law.
sounds very just guys :p
Just 'Murica things
omg i can't believe they named a military operation after the game series
I didn't expect Swedes to be so insensitive

one of my relatives was in panama at Fort Sherman for jungle training when just cause was about to start, she had to be smuggled out of the country in a cattle car then moved onto one of the amphibious landing crafts
wow
Watching Zakharova (the spox for the Russian ministry of foreign affairs) answer questions is truly a test of a patience
"Ms Zakharova, can you comment on Putin‘s remarks that it is his duty to return what he deems historically Russian territories to Russia?"
"You see, back in Kosovo…" goes on a five minute long rant that completely misses the question
"Will you please answer my question?"
"Oh, also, let‘s talk about referendums in the DNR for ten minutes"
Oh that bitch
I still remember how a maternity house in Mariupol got hit a hour later when she said there were azovs hiding in there
Ukrainian activist and soldier Roman Ratyshnyi, 24, was killed in Kharkiv Oblast on June 9. Dozens of people gathered to commemorate him at Kyiv’s Independence Square on June 18.

The Russian military says more than 307,420 children have been relocated from Ukraine to Russia since the Feb. invasion began. Moscow presents this as a humanitarian feat, but the admission could serve as evidence in a genocide case, one day. https://t.co/oEXMDGJyFU

(It’s not clear how many of these kids were from the self-declared DNR & LNR vs. were removed from more recently occupied territories.)
Russian propagandists are worried that 🇺🇦defenders will train abroad before going to the frontline. All because for the Ukrainian state life of its citizens has the highest value. Mobilized in 🇷🇺 do not train anywhere, but are immediately sent as cannon flesh to meet their death.

Chechnya’s dictator lashes out at Russia’s CSTO allies for failing to rally to the “special military operation” against Ukraine’s “Banderites, Nazis, and fascists.” Maybe this isolation among “allies” should prompt some self-reflection, Ramzan? https://t.co/l9WoeNRqyo
