Boris surely can’t arrange an exchange for Medvedchuk who is currently being held in prison by Ukraine.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
I feel that Ukraine are wasting time and resources on investigating 'war crimes' because Putin is never going to jail for them, the Russians would never hand him over and he would rather kill himself.
He would go off the grid and vanish.
These fools on the news keep going on with 'that's another war crime' like they really believe Putin will be punished for it.
He probably chuckles to himself while saying 'oops I did it again' It's madness, Vladimir Putin has probably committed 100s of war crimes over the years.

Investigating war crimes is done not only to put Putin in Putin. First of all, they need to identify all of the victims and this is a part of it. Secondly, it’s not just Putin who is responsible — and there’s a high possibility that in the future they would be able to hold at least some of them (be it soldiers, politicians or propagandists) accountable.

Well my co-workers are neither Russian nor Ukranian military.
You're right. Only them should be talking about it.
I guess all of us talking Manchester United on this site must be either United footballers or executives as well.

Seems like the Russians are now slowly trying to gain ground in the east.

If the Ukrainians can continue fending them off, it will buy a bit of time for the howitzers, switchblades, and other new weapons to make it to the frontlines.
And unless all preeminent members of the Putin regime commit seppuku, they will remain targets with international warrants on their heads for a very long time. A good chunk of the conditions prior to a relief of sanctions upon Russia probably include extradition of specific people formally identified and accused of war crimes. We have seen that scenario unfold right after the Kosovo War as the then-new Serbian government got rid of Milosevic and many military officers who explicitly had their hand on genocides.
No, but we know football. We watch every game, we know all involved. My guess we can count on one hand who knows shit about war tactics on here.
Still a good thing that they will not be able to travel freely. Many Russians involved in this (colonels etc) are very rich, with houses and family in the West.

"... weary and probably needing reinforcement"? Probably more like utterly exhausted, severely depleted and needing major reinforcement.
You don’t need to be Napoleon to understand the symbolic importance of whether or not the Russian flagship was sunk by Ukraine.
The BBC reports:
"We're hearing more about the signs that Russia is beginning its new offensive in the east of the country.
Earlier we told you about a social media post from Ukraine's Armed Forces Command.
Now Ukraine's National Security Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov has said Russia attempted to break through Ukranian defences "along almost the entire front line of Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions".
"They began their attempt to start the active phase," he added, in comments that were televised.
He said Russian troops had captured the town of Kreminna, about 50km (31 miles) northeast of Kramatorsk, but Ukrainian troops were "holding the line" in the other areas."

Even worse, lacking in morale and on the verge of mutiny.
I agree it matters a lot for the Ukranians fighting but that was not what I was disputing. My main point was that I had colleagues who both support Ukraine argue how it sank. It's irrelevant to us, we are not there fighting, the majority of us know nothing about military tactics.
I'm obviously not sharing the videos here but god damn, Mariupol is an absolute meat grinder. Piles of dead fighters from the Russian side, presumably separatists.

This is such a weird take. You’re in a thread dedicated to following the Ukraine war and a warship (even ignoring its status in the fleet) sinking is hardly difficult to comprehend even for civilians.
The Russian ship is meant to float, Ukraine sank it…

This all started because I agreed with a post that said something in the lines "all that matters is that it's sunk, how doesn't matter." Now some people can't take that I honestly don't care how it sank as long as it's gone. I don't give a shit how the Russians lose this war as long as they do.
Putin has rewarded the brigade accused of the joys of Bucha.
Rewarding warcrimes. It is attempted genocide and those that downplay this are complict.

This interaction reminds me of the ‘too high’ scene in ‘Major League.’
I guess most hope it was the Ukrainians because it would show they have the capability and it seems a much more likely way to inflict further loses than crossing our fingers for more ammunition ‘accidents’ on many more ships. Agree we all just want the war over and Russia out of Ukraine but the context is important, one scenario is just a random act of incompetence from the Russians and pretty meaningless, the other is Ukraine successfully defending itself.

Love that movie! Going to watch it now! thanks for the reminder!
Russians seem to be learning from their mistakes.
Possible 2nd push for Kiev at some point still on the cards?Tweet

Like me playing golf
I am not sure which one is better:
Option 1. Ukrainian missiles sank the Russian flagship.
Option 2. The Russians themselves sank the Russian flagship.
In my opinion, Option 2 is even better for the Ukrainians: they can still win without doing anything! It takes a special kind of idiot to sink his own *flagship*.
