So they can get their people back ? I dont understand your post. It is irrelevant if its a declared war or not. Both sides want people back. Excange the only way.
If that happens it will probably escalate further, also it shows once again very clearly that you can’t negotiate with the russians, they don’t stick to agreements anyway.
If charged under civilian law, they are not soilders, but common criminals.
This will force Putin to actually declare this invasion a war, which will lead to less support within Russia, and will also force supporting countries and allies to reevaluate their supportive stance
Not sure what to make of it, guess we will see
This is a disgrace, but sadly not a surprise.
Taking souvenirs? That’s unlucky then
Some sort of anti war protest in Russia
And another one
I wish someone would just drop a bomb right about here…
That would be a mistake. The Russians need an emergency exit; I imagine that’s why Ukraine hasn’t done it.
They want to do it, but they have no weapon system capable of hitting the bridge precisely. Destroying the Crimean logistics hub would be huge. But for now, Tocha not precise enough and it takes large munitions to destroy a bridge of that size.
just need a bomber big enough to haul a bunker buster and hit one of the support pillars. if the span of the bridge falls into the river it would effectively cut off Russian land access to Crimea and Sevastopol, and at that point you can start to push back across the southern coastline. force them to retreat back through Mariopol.
Or, you bomb the everloving fuck out of these two points and make the road impassible. choke off their supply lines
I don’t know if UA ever want to re-take Crimea, but that supply line has to stop. or they’ll never be able to force the Russians out of that Black Sea coastline.
