Meanwhile, the Central African Republic might find that the flow of foreign aid dries up.
Isn’t that known as Siberia?
my whole week been like this.
A mate’s brother is in Dnipro. Brit guy married to local woman. He’s stayed because his wife’s family are pro Russia.
I’m not sure the Russian soldiers will care about that when kicking in the door.
How about now?
…
And now?
…
What about now?
I’m not in personal contact with them, in fact I’ve only ever met the brother, but I imagine they’re believing the propaganda.
Looking at the forces in presence, this is probably overly optimistic, or a form of psychological warfare, isn’t it? The truth is that Russia are beating the shit out of Ukraine as we speak, and are advancing on all fronts, albeit faster in the south than in the north. They are progressively encircling Kiev, and Kharkiv and Mariupol have already been reduced to a heap of rumble. Kiev is next on the list.
I can’t see a way out for Ukraine I’m afraid. Their fight hurts the Russians, but without foreign help, there can only be one outcome to this war.
Then again, I suspect that the real horror for both sides will start when the Russians will have ‘won’ the war.
I think Ukraine still have a lot of fight in them, maneuver warfare very slow in the north and east and at points RU withdraws to reorganise due to damaged logistics and casualties . The south a big problem for Ukraine. Will it change the final outcome ? I don’t know, but hope they can stall and inflict enough damage on RU to get good terms.
In terms of losses, these are very high on the side of RU. I assume you have checked the photo documented lists of material losses.
Third general confirmed:
I have earlier reported this, but then it was unconfirmed by Western intel.
In the Security Council, China is fucking lending legitimacy to Russia’s bullshit claims about Ukraine preparing to use biological weapons.

More from the UN security council meeting and China’s representative to the UN Zhang Jun has described multiple peace talks between Russia and Ukraine as “positive steps towards achieving peace”.
He says China will “play its part in de-escalating the situation”.
He also says China attaches “great importance to bio-safety and security” and “firmly opposes the development, possession and the use of biological and chemical weapons by any country”.
He says it would encourage any country that has not yet destroyed their stockpiles of chemical weapons to do so as soon as possible.
Zhang Jun says China has “noted with concern relevant information released by Russia” and believes they should be “properly addressed”
