Just throwing this out there but do we think Putin is in the 7 stages of grief yet? Perhaps he needs a bit of counselling?

Not all Americans (or all people) I am sorry to say... This filmed at a party conference event a couple of days ago in Florida as the war rages... I guess this is the other side of the balanced coin?

And has added ZERO value Everyone please stop feeding the troll..

The interview was in a rural village wooden buildings straight out of WW2 titles I am surprised they didn't have a minder stop the report.

Those phone calls home by captured Russian soldiers are now starting to have an effect. BBC reporters got to a Russian village and interviewed relatives. The whole village now knows what is going on. If I can find the report on line I will post a link

Yellow gaffer tape around the arm from what I have noticed.

The UK created the homeguard in desperate times...

Should have targeted the one to the left as more vehicles in blast range. Wonder why the right one was chosen?

Industrial activities? Oil production / Gas flares?

https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs;@33.9,48.6,7z This might be of interest it shows fires and is being used to show where combat is occurring, not sure if this has been posted previously? A bit too close to thread title.

If that's true their doubling down.

Each Russian soldier has at least 6 family members on average and maybe many more that will be influenced by that contact. Really smart move. Public pressure inside Russia will help...

Have you ever heard of the "phrase out of the frying pan into the fire"? I think that succinctly describes the Polish being "saved" by the Soviets. It might be a good analogy for Ukraine but history will judge that.

Easy to keep them in the dark... Let's hope these reports are true and that Ukraine treats any prisoners well as they will return to Russia and you want them to know the truth.

Russia invading Ukraine doesn't improve the lives of the Ukrainian people. Russia has forced this upon the Ukrainians and there is now no good outcome. Russia could end this today by withdrawing. The best we can hope for is that the Ukrainian resistance is not in vain and forces Russia to withdraw. The Ukrainians must do what they feel is best for them.

@Haiduk so glad you have posted, stay safe and keep your head down..

Yep but that was before the invasion and I am pretty certain when we told all British to leave Ukraine they left. Of course there might be some folk on vacation that are seeing the historic sights...

IMO no we already supplied Javelins and other weapons so that boat has already sailed. NATO has been very clear and open with the Russian Cabal no boots on the ground but supply of weapons will happen especially if Russia crossed the border.

Looks like Ukraine is getting resupply Russia invades Ukraine: Live updates (cnn.com) First publicly acknowledged military aid arrives in Ukraine since invasion From CNN's Paul P. Murphy and Josh Pennington Poland has shipped a convoy with ammunition to Ukraine, according to the country's Minister of Defense Mariusz Błaszczak, making it the first publicly acknowledged shipment of military aid to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began. “A convoy of ammunition we are donating to Ukraine has already reached our neighbors. We stand by the Ukrainians, and show solidarity against Russian aggression," he said in a tweet. The tweet neither described the sort of ammunition Poland sent the Ukrainians nor the amount.

Gents a gentle prod we are keeping this thread open by talking about Ukraine. Russia has invaded Ukraine

@Warts 'n' all@Aragorn2002 Gents please take it outside...

Until I can find the reporting on the picture above I will not comment. Any link to the news article?

The arming of civilians looks pretty chaotic but does seem that they will be working alongside military units. I just hope they have AT support in trained hands to deal with the armoured vehicles. Brave people who stand up to the Russian cabal.

Nope it was a state to be viewed with caution... Embassys will be closed and movement restricted Govts will not be able Not to React as the public will force them. The Lord Haw Haws will be exposed for the Russian stooges they are... That has all changed and there will be less Russians on holiday in Turkey this year, the rouble has tanked and the Russian economy will suffer, there is no way back for the cabal that run Russia. The cabal might survive for years but this is a Sadam Hussien moment when he decided to invade Kuwait it will end badly but how and when who knows...
