Not much #discussion on the real #ukrainian #deaths , but this #article apparently suggests 20k #civilians and 100k #soldiers , which would be much higher than #russian #deaths https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. The #eu training 15k or 30k #soldiers is just not going to cut it. The real problem they have is that #ukraine will at some point run out of #men to #train .
Very interesting #question raised by the #nytimes about #ukrainian #war #crimes https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/n.. A bunch of #russian #soldiers ordered to face-down and then get #executed doesn't look good at all. #prisonersofwar is a very hot topic and is most definitely to be taken seriously.
Very weird that former #us #president #georgewbush will give a pro- #war #presentation with #ukrainian #president #volodymyrzelensky https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/z.. This is the same guy that setup #iraq and #afghanistan ... Not a good look.
Interesting idea to have #chrystiafreeland as the next #nato #chief , given she is both #canadian and #ukrainian https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. This would really upset #russia as she is already on their #blacklist .
Looks like #russia is now #retreating from #ukraine 's #kherson #region and will be #evacuating 70k #civilians https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r.. Once the #civilians are gone, #ukrainian #soldiers can expect the #fighting #intensity to increase... Given #russia 's recent rhetoric, I could even throw around the idea of a #dirtybomb and probably hit the mark.
Interesting that #russia is now #striking #ukrainian #cities with #missiles , they will most definitely cause more #deaths than #ukraine did blowing up the #crimea #bridge https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/l.. This could still yet *really* kick off, no wonder #putin is making #nuke #threats !
This is a great point raised by #craigmurray , #ukrainian #regions #invaded by #russia 's #president #putin were *never* a #russian #majority , not even during the #soviet #era https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/.. It's surprising that #mainstream #news have made zero effort to #rebuke his #claims .
Ouch, the #russian #flagship #moskva was sunk by #ukrainian #missiles and finally went down once being #towed https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/14383383 As #commenters have pointed out, this looks bad for the #kremlin !
Insane if true, apparently #ukrainian #forces have #destroyed a #russian #fuel #depo - in #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. This really is a massive #escalation in the #invasion as this is a #direct #attack on #russian #soil .
#us #training #ukrainian #soldiers in #poland ... https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bide.. This is quite an #escalation . I am also aware that other #countries join this effort too. This also means using their #modern #equipment too - a clear #escalation in the #russian #invasion .
Well shit, this is #scary if true - apparently #russia #launched a #hypersonic #missile at a #ukrainian #weapons #bunker https://www.zerohedge.com/military/russi.. Apparently the thing travels at #mach 10 and would be the first use of such a weapon in a proper #war ... Nobody currently has anything fast enough to #detect or #defeat it...
Things are not looking good for #ukrainian #forces right now: https://ukraineobservatory.org/2022/03/1.. It appears that #russia have made a lot of #progress - it's unclear how much longer they'll be able to hold out. It does beg the #question how they have been able to #resupply ...
Appears #poland have taken the #majority of the #ukrainian #refugees despite what #russia have #claimed https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/l..
Checkout the last part of this #ukraine #daily #brief https://ukraineobservatory.org/2022/03/1.. The #ukrainian #soldier is #complaining about the poor state of the #captured #russian #mortar #military #equipment . This seems to echo a lot of what people believe about #russia 's currently fighting #capability - they have shown the world they are seriously under #funded and under #maintained .
A #hitpiece on the #uk and #boris by the #eu #claiming the #uk is not doing enough to help #ukrainian #refugees - as #britiain #refuses to enable #uncontrolled #immigration https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/bri.. The UK is providing #support to #poland with #money *and* people. There *is* an #immigration path, but it's one that #requires checks. #brexit means we are able to perform these checks.
Now this is over the top, everybody at the #oxfordunion #standing to #respect the #ukrainian #naitonalanthem - many of these people wouldn't stand for the #british #national #anthem https://youtube.com/watch?v=tDOxwulYRPc Very weird. I don't particularly like the way in which #traditions are being thrown out of the window for the "next big thing", our #stability comes from the slow moving nature of our traditions.
