Via Remix News,

Speaking at a strategy session of the National Security Bureau, the Polish Armed Forces chief of staff General Rajmund Andrzejczak said that when he analyzes the war in Ukraine politically, he is pessimistic.

This is, he explained, because “there is nothing that indicates that Russia will lack the resources to continue the conflict.”

He said during the session that he did not feel sanctions would stop Russia from having the funds to continue the war.

The general also offered a bleak assessment of Poland’s ability to send ammunition to Ukraine. “We simply don’t have the ammunition. Our industry isn’t ready to send the equipment to Ukraine and to maintain our own dwindling reserves,” he said. He noted that he was tirelessly presenting such an analysis in order to raise awareness.

He continued his remarks by saying that “war is not the business of soldiers.” It is rather “a question of politics with economic factors involving finance, infrastructure, technology, food, and a range of other problems that you have to figure into the equation to be able to understand it.”

Gen. Andrzejczak observed that “Ukraine is experiencing huge financial problems,” despite the huge aid packages it was receiving from the U.S., the West and Poland.

Gen. Andrzejczak told the National Security Bureau that he regarded the security situation facing Poland as highly dangerous. Asked if the leaders of the West appreciated how far Ukraine is from winning the war with Russia, he opined that “an honest assessment of the threats was still both a surprise and a shock for most of them.”

The general also said there was no indication that Ukrainians who fled their country would return home to start reconstruction, adding that he felt that the NATO summit in Vilnius will be “a summit to define our credibility, of NATO, and the whole of the West.”

If the response was “late” and lacking in determination, then Ukraine would have no chance of a secure future.

One war at a time Mr. Medvedev. One war at a time.

Meh, he is just a bad cop while Dyadya Vova  is the good one.  Nothing here is out of control.

"We went to work in the normal mode, discovered an air target that was reconnaissance of our units, respectively, reported the parameters and worked on it," Koldun said.

Whichever way you look at it not a good scene. A demonstration of modern infrastructure's vulnerability regardless of heavy defence as it only needs one to get through.

Very true, but a quick comparison of Russian air defences and western air defences and their deployment and application and you kinda get the idea that one side is massively in trouble because the few systems they have for airdefence are horrendously expensive and simply are not affordable to buy in numbers needed to provide the level of protection that is needed.

More importantly this conflict they started against Russia and the previous conflict they started against Syria has led to Russia testing and using both air defence systems but also attack and defense drones for their own uses so they are getting a capability to attack the west they never had before that will be affordable and widely used to make their forces rather more effective than they were before these conflicts started.

The very idea that a drone could be launched and flown 2km in front of a 30mm or 40mm grenade launcher platoon to spot targets in real time and allow enemy troops even those behind frontal cover or trenches to be engaged effectively is not new, but also not implemented till now for the Russians.

Congrats guys... you just made the Russians stronger and more capable.  

Mine is "Do as we say or you die"

"But I need more daddy..."

"No... you have had enough now go to your room... no pudding for you"

Looks like another UAF demolition job.

Those buildings would all be mined to be blown up so rather than sending Russian forces in to take them they should be hit with glide bombs and leveled before hand so the enemy can't blow them up when Russian troops try to enter.

The high ground is nice but use drones instead...

He's a bit out of control to be honest with his little presidential campaign

He is just saying what a lot of Russians will be thinking... there does not seem to be a lot of push back over the anti Russia bullshit in Poland or in the west so why should Russia play nice and pretend to be neutral.

Fuckem.

Meh, he is just a bad cop while Dyadya Vova  is the good one.  Nothing here is out of control.

Considering Poland and the US are driving this conflict and sustaining the Nazis in Kiev I think both are being too nice.

But it is so much easier to blame everything on the Poles. Yes, their subservient behavior is a real embarrassment but do not misrepresent the nationality of those who fight on the Ukrainian side.

Assuming that is true, and I have no reason to doubt you, you need to stand up to these Bandera loving bastards in your own country first...

You appear to have run from the Soviet Union being Mother to the US being Mother.... when are you going to grow up?

I understand the EU is not designed for countries, but for minions to do as unelected ivory tower idiots direct them to do and think and behave, but seriously where is your dignity.

You are so easily controlled it is sad... you are like Americans... anything they don't want you to like they call communism or Russian and you behave like good little poodles.

But of course the Polish are not the only ones... the entire west is Americas lackey and bitch.

Hahahaha.... based on form it will be 23 young fit healthy male Polish citizens that were killed.

The civilian casualty count has been very low in this conflict but mistakes can happen.

I rather doubt anything the western media or Kiev has to say and would rather hear from the Russian side about what happened.

Anybody have any further information about this incidents ? Is that a false flag staged by the Maidan regime ? Or did Russian air force really made mistake in this incident ?

Believed to be a Ukie S-300 missile, as an earlier comment here put it, not good to have a building between the launcher and the incoming target.
