Unless I’m much mistaken, it’s a rotating system, so unless they have a way of censuring Russia or kicking it out of the Security Council altogether, there’s not much that can be done. They were also the President in February 2022.

some updates from over the weekend. Appears that Bakhmut is still up for grabs, the pocket has remained open on those UA units still in the city but RU are still nibbling away at it, street by street.
all critical military locations…those pesky kindergarden schools with their soldiers
Oh, this looks like the M113s! The IFV that is proven on battlefields! My reservist battalion uses these babies but alas, we are the last of the M113 IFV battalion in our country…

looks like Bakhmut is where UA forces are trying to burn up Russian ground forces. they’re isolating areas of Russian advance, letting them congregate into specific areas/buildings and laying traps for them.
I like it. they’re losing the entire city block-by-block but making RU Forces pay in blood… and lots of it.
getting close to a Mexican standoff though.

I fear that Nadezhdin may be too close to a window in the near future.
