Maybe after generations of fearing cold wars or Russian threats and armies , a chance to really weaken them looks awefully inticing. Or maybe all those years creating a lot of animosity and hatred , distrust and resentment towards Russia , it then feels good to land some kind of blow to them.

Its strange because i have bought a lot of things last week and prices seem higher for everything, yet the only thing that price didn't seem higher for was a bottle of oil.:unsure:

Actually makes sense, over the last month the price of oil has fallen below $100 a barrel. I watch the commodities market every morning, it appears this going to continue so in the near future you should also see a drop at the gas pumps also.

Belgorod had another fuel depot blow up again, Russian anti-air has been activated and jets can be heard flying over the city, probably Russian jets at this point as it seems when Ukraine uses jets to bomb targets they dont stick around for long.

It seems the first of the new units raised by the Ukranian military from their reserve forces and new volunteers is nearing the end of the process and will be deployed soon.  This is particularly bad for Russia as new Ukranian units will move the number of soldiers from approximately parity to distinct Ukranian advantage unless Russia begins mobilization which Putin seems extremely reluctant to do for some reason.

Putin should have learned from the cold war that you can't outspend the US when it comes to weapons lol

Russia suffered a failed river crossing.  At minimum it seems at least 32 military vehicles were lost.

Unless I'm getting this confused with another failed Russian river crossing it failed when Ukranian artillery opened fire on their position while they were attempting to cross the river.  Going by material losses an entire battalion tactical group might of been lost from this river crossing.

Part of the inflation is "false", yes inflation is real but some businesses have up their profit margins using inflation as an excuse

Yea , i was just reading about that. You'd think they would have learned something about those river crossings. I also read something about a Russian unit being destroyed hiding in some trees.

Thats the feeling i get exactly , it seemed like it went from some prices in certain areas of manufacturing rising , to all of a sudden all kinds of stuff rising , if not damn near everything , in a very short time.

Hi Raz

It happens when there is high demand and with what is going on in the Ukraine with Russia is affecting some markets because of sanctions which means that European countries will look for other sources like us. If we increase our production to balance then prices drop again. We have to drop our prices to foreign markets to be competitive and generally pay more for our products domestically and that adjusts with market demand so we have highs and lows.

There was a video of a Russian armored column getting hot by Ukranian artillery not that long ago.  There was also a video of Russian supply base in the woods getting targeted by Ukranian artillery and completely destroyed.

Tomorrow Finland will officially announce its intention of joining NATO and begin the process of joining, Sweden will be doing the same a few days later.

This is a massive geopolitical failure of the Ukranian invasion.

And before they are admitted, Britain has entered into a mutual defence pact with both nations.

Checkmate, Vladolf Putler.

The delivery of counter artillery radars is very interesting to me. Artillery is probably Russias greatest strength, but this will be very usefull in countering that. Not only will it allow Ukraine to target Russian artillery directly, it will also force the Russians to relocate their artillery frequently, putting even more strain on their logistics.

Yes it certainly will cause the Russians a great deal of trouble, with this radar it will allow the Ukrainians to have pin point counter battery fire.  While the US still has towed Artillery Weapons, they are limited in they use by the enemy we are facing. Today the US mainly uses the Paladin M109 Howitzer which is a 155mm cannon artillery system built upon a self-propelled howitzer. The crew are able to receive mission data via a secure voice and digital communications system, compute the firing data, automatically unlock the cannon from the travel lock, point the cannon and fire, and move to a new location without external technical assistance. The M109A6 Paladin fires the first round from the move within 60 seconds. The ‘shoot and scoot’ capability protects the crew from counter-battery fire. This firing platform uses GPS to calculate the firing data, which if sent by secure voice and if that data is accurate this thing is deadly.

It’s public record, as far as I’m aware. I suspect there will be a lot that isn’t listed there as well.

And clearly the US doesn’t care that Russia knows they are arming Ukraine. They very publicly signed the Land Lease.

I been reading that Peskov said that they may stop the invasion if they can annex Kherson,  which for one thing would be the goal of a land bridge to Crimea . Seems to me they could have a land bridge to Crimea without even touching Kherson. But if they do for any reason march towards Mykolaiv and Odesa , then i would say that the goal looks more like controlling the Black sea , and in effect be cutting Ukraine off from the black sea , somehow you gotta feel this will not be acceptable by any means to Ukraine , and doubtfully the current situation would be acceptable to Ukraine. Short of nukes , i could see this going on for a long time , whether Russia wants to stop or not , i mean how can Russia effectively protect what they have taken as of now? Ukraine is already angry as hell , so you got the angry dog on your doorstep all the time. But Russia seems to think this is all gonna work out this way.

Ukraine War’s Geographic Reality: Russia Has Seized Much of the East

''The Russian Defense Ministry said Tuesday that its forces in eastern Ukraine had advanced to the border between Donetsk and Luhansk, the two Russian-speaking provinces where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting Ukraine’s army for eight years.

The ministry’s assertion, if confirmed, strengthens the prospect that Russia could soon gain complete control over the region, known as the Donbas, compared with just a third of it before the Feb. 24 invasion.''

[...]

''Russian forces now control about 80 percent of Donbas, according to Ukrainian officials, and have concentrated their efforts on a pocket of Ukrainian-held territory with Kramatorsk at its center.''

I actually think Putin wants to partition Ukraine. I have referred to the North/South Korea scenario. First, Russia needs to fully liberate and establish a "buffer zone" in the Donbas. Then cut off the rest of the Ukrainian forces (including Azov neo-nazis) West of Donbas to claim victory in the east. The next step after that is to capture the southern coast of Ukraine, and that's where Odessa will be seriously threatened.

IT IS NOT PUTIN'S LAND, RUSSIA NEEDS TO FO AND LET THIS COUNTRY DECIDE.  FULL STOP.

No argument.  No discussion.  Putler and his peeps need to go the hell back home and let other countries decide for themselves.

Don't want to hear whataboutisms or any of that other crap.  I was taught just because "X" did something stupid did it mean I could or should?

So how much of that claim has been confirmed, if any? Did a bit of checking earlier and haven't seen anything about a confirmation, nor any sentiments about Donbas being primarily mostly controlled by Russia.

Is that just a sensationalist article that you're using to push your pro-Russian agenda?

Strangely RT News has now disappeared from the UK.

But I found another Russian site last updated with Russian progress in Eastern Ukraine 4 days back:

Western maps look over a week old. Here is the BBCsBBC.jpg.e7d96600d8d1eecec62aeb4bd91c0703.jpg:

The Russians have overrun Ukrainian territory, but they don't control it. They don't have enough troops to control more than a fraction of it and those troops are spread thin, trying to hold it. Anywhere the Ukrainians advance, the Russians retreat. The Great Russian Skedaddle has begun.
