All things Russia and Ukraine...

Ukraine says they have stopped 11 Russian major attacks in Donbass. Well done..

 

Oh yes, another russian military target hit precisely:

Ukrainian Emergency Services have posted video of the ruins of the school in Bilohorivka, in eastern Ukraine, which was hit by a Russian bomb on Saturday.

Up to 60 people are feared dead under the rubble. Thirty people have been rescued so far, with seven injured and two confirmed dead.

It comes amid reports of renewed fighting in eastern Ukraine on Sunday morning.

We know schools tend to build fighter planes, Howitzers and rockets. You will be sorry russians when you pay rebuilding Ukraine again. If Putin says he´s sorry for what Lavrov said he truly is falling off the edge of the world. Be careful, the Army might start a coup.

Remember Ceausescu, a leader from the USSR period. Left it too late to escape.

 

Current placards for the Victory Parade. They show victorious Soviet soldiers during the Great Patriotic W....oh wait

 

Putin has today celebrated Victory over nazism. I fear NATO is the next nazi Goal to him, the SS. He forgot that the west sent him military equipment etc 1941-45 or they would be under true nazi rule.

"We have taken their tanks, and we'll keep taking them if the opportunity arises."

 

In Russia what you find ( steal) you can keep...

I remember a funny story: they had thrown out of train carriages some 30 heavy tanks, and nobody knew incl Army did not know to whom they belonged to..I would think the Army but no is no. I guess they would make nice tractors.

 

The news expect that Putin declares war to Ukraine in his speech today. That will be the end of you. I don't shed a tear.
I read there were special troops from Ukraine in the parade. You mean rapists , robbers and child killers. Are there others anyway. And Putin WHO makes teenagers pregnant. How dare you, you ole fart.

 

Biden signs Ukraine 'lend-lease' act

US President Joe Biden has signed a bill that aims to streamline American military aid to Ukraine and other Eastern European allies.

The measure evokes World War Two's Lend-Lease Act, which allowed the US to fast-track $50bn in aid to allies fighting Nazi Germany.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Monday, Biden said: "The cost of the fight is not cheap. But caving to aggression is even more costly."

On Friday, the Biden administration announced a $150m military package for Ukraine, bringing the total US commitment to $3.8bn.

At the moment door-to-door questionnaire gives " join Nato" in Finland 72% of all people asked.

 

Ukraine says its forces have recaptured villages from Russian troops north and north-east of Kharkiv, pushing them back towards the border. The ongoing offensive could signal a shift in the war's momentum and jeopardise Russia's main advance further south.

Russia's bid to restrict Nato enlargement looks set to backfire

One of Russia's primary concerns before the conflict was the prospect of Ukraine joining Nato.

Ukraine has since cooled on its plans to join the security bloc. However it does now seem increasingly likely that Nato will be expanding anyway, with Finland poised to say it intends to join and Sweden likely to follow soon after.

On Wednesday, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said Russia's President Vladimir Putin was to blame. "You caused this," he said. "Look in the mirror."

 

Turkey, itself a NATO member,says that the joining of Finland and Sweden would be a mistake. Who are you mr mistake. Maybe your love life with mr Putin prices your stand just a crap** nothing. Russia though loves when you sold the drones to Ukraine ??. Idiot and wrong choice. I can hear the bullets hitting the brick Wall. No price to pay when you go the wrong way.

 

Has nothing to do with Putin. Sorry, but that is a bad call on your part.

Have you forgotten Finnish support for the Kurds?

Last I looked, the Turks & Kurds did not get along(an understatement). The Turks apparently have not forgotten Finnish support(and Sweden's) to the Kurds.

 

Well, Erdogan was able to send Kurds to other countries like Greece, Finland etc. We have some 8600. We expect to receive some 80,000 from Ukraine.
Greece and Turks fight about this, but what would they not fight about.
Politically it is weird that Turkey, a NATO country, is invading Cyprus, an EU country.Is that a more benign thing??
