Have you lost your mind?
It is true… that Ukraine military made this claim, including claim that there was full load (100+) of Russian paratroopers on board the IL-76. Now whether the claim is true, given no photos or other proof yet, is a fair question.
Sounds like “Reich-SIS”. Might be helpful now, but it might not be good when they have to go home without their caliphate…err…white nationalist dreamland.
Disappointing, but somewhat understandable given their special relationship with Russia.
This should have been the time for India to re-align a bit. Solidarity with other democracies strikes me as a better play than sucking up to your bully's bitch.
Still too early to say. If he topples the Zelenskyy government within days, as has been predicted, then Russia basically owns Ukraine even if they aren't prepared to occupy the entire country for very long. The sanctions are real and substantial, but could take years to hurt Russia. Unless we seize assets of the oligarchs, which would surely have an influence on Putin and his mafia.It is starting to sound like the Russians are suffering more losses (troops and vehicles) than he could have possibly thought. Of course the Ukrainian numbers are inflated, but even with that, it does not sound like it's going easy. Sounds like the Russians are not taking over enough crucial points as fast as they should being such a bigger power. Even some supply line issues are coming out. More protests in Russia than anticipated. He might have even thought they'd have surrendered by now. This just may take a lot more than he thought, and that is a miscalculation.
This is th absolute LAST thing anyone needs right now.
As for the molotovs, NPR said earlier that local chemistry students were set up in their labs making them all day, distributing to the people in Kyiv.
If that's true, Russia troop morale will for sure be a big problem. That spells good for Ukrainians and where this could be leading. I'm hoping for Russian troop defections, retreats, lackluster results of their commanders' intentions.Russian logistics suck balls. I've seen reports that there is a large # of recently conscripted (like Dec.) troops involved. They've also been forward deployed for quite a while depending on where we're talking. Entirely believable that they're needing to scrounge.
I'd rather they had IEDs so they didn't have to get so close.

I don't actually think that's how it would go. He's so far into this gambit he'll just continue to shell everything and scuttle the whole city before leaving. At least so long as all other countries stay out of it.
