    Why would Russia agree?

    Jacque Line🇵🇭
    @MissJacque_line

    Macron: You must cease fire during the Olympics!

    Putin: Why, when you don't allow us to participate in it?


    As part of the settlement of the war Russian back in international sport should be a condition.

    Just a reminder, if needed, that 7 years ago Blinken knew exactly what the risks were.

    Just another normal day at the front.

    According to the Russian Ministry of Defense's summary, Ukrainian military forces have collectively lost up to 895 personnel within a day.

    The areas hit include assembly and testing sites for unmanned boats, a temporary deployment point for IRIS-T SAM batteries in the Odessa region, and a workshop for assembling and preparing drones in the Chernihiv region.

    Nikolayev armory repair facility was debanderized.

    The usual claim is "Iskander", but it is Tornado is you are asking me.

    That is why Iskander-K is excluded too.

    Fighting in the forests of Finland would be a nightmare for the Russian army.
    Those forests are not different from those in Karelia or the Kola Peninsula.
    Finnish Army has ZERO combat experience.

    Shows 3 crew getting out.
    Medium cooked.

    Naah, they were hidden under or side by the tank.
    None of them was inside at a strike, not counting the dead driver.
    Take a look at where they "appear" at a moment.

    I cannot find it but the second day of Belgorod attack - Russians hit the house with officers planning the attack. Among then coupel of NATO ones. I could not find it so i cannot confirm if that's true.

    Does Russia have any oil refining capacity left after ukrainian drone strikes?

    No. Russia is now out of the energy business. They will now rely on the west to refine their oil into other fuels.


    ****, you need to dry my keyboard now i have spilled my whole coffee there lol1 lol1 lol1




    Of course they will put out the fires, repair the damage and the refineries will be working in a much shorter time than most Orc supporters would be happy about.

    according Telegram oof Kiril Fiodorov - they try to hit rectification column what stops refinery for longer. But what coincidence refineries belonged to oligarchs... now they supposed to ger AAD cover. Looks if true oligarchs shared their wealth with the state.



    Fighting in the forests of Finland would be a nightmare for the Russian army.

    The Russians have no reason to fight in Finland. Cruise missile attacks on their military bases, ports and air ports, and energy centres and then  forget about them.

    If they try guerilla tactics then level their cities. Finland is a hostile country... there is no need to be nice to the civilian population... they are all enemies there.

    +++
    The way they so quickly form alliances with Nazi powers against Russia is becoming an habit...


    in 40 and 44 some bomber raids convinced nazi loving Fins to stop resistance. Perhaps Finland again resigns from some lands closer to Russia?




    BTW forests you can burn/use chemicals to destroy not good hideout if Russian would have to,,

    🇷🇺🇺🇦❗In the Sumy region, they began to harshly level the border areas with FABs, KABs and artillery .

    A new “record” for the number of alarms in the Sumy region
    We have never had anything like this before, the intensity of raids and shelling has increased significantly - head of administration Artyukh - ISZ reports


    Sumy and Karkhov border regions get hammerd with FABs. During their stupid and failed border raid Russians observed the whole circus and are now targeting the HQs and ammo dumps and hunting down the decimated rest of that clowns.

    Not sure why its still standing but I suppose its the USSR heritage construction.

    Nikolayev underground activists confirm that the Nikolayev Armoured Plant was hit by a missile strike.

    Hangars with Western equipment and specialists were also hit.

    Then is not independent. If there is a half of Ukraine in NATO is also not too good.
    Only time will tell. Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkov or Odessa definitely shall remain Russian. Id say Kiev shall follow.

    They need to be shooting down more of these helicopters hopefully it was full of neo Nazis scum.

    They must be scrapping the barrel if they shipping in BTR-60 and BTR-50. Still won't make a difference for Ukraine but at least it cans up the fodder ready for a drone strike makes taking them out easier. Very Happy
