After the demise of Putin, Imo in any peace deal (lifting the sanctions) with the Russia should include them giving up all their nukes.
That will never happen.
The Kremlin doing hits?

I honestly feel the forced deportations haven't had the coverage they should in the media and in international institutions. Is this a fair criticism or is that too harsh?
Let's hope it really does shut things down, that would be a miracle.

How can anyone consider it speculation when the wives and even the daughters are killed too? It's a hit and a message.
I've googled like a maniac about the Lenin statue being erected, where was that done? Is there a link to that story from a credible source?
Perfect thanks!
Thanks.
I think sadly 'forced deportations' is codeword for genocide. I don't think they have the logistics to move this many people and we already know that they're commiting a genocide
‘Suicide’ is quite popular amongst the Russian elite it seems. There’s been 6 since the start of the year, though not always with their families included.
edit: Newsweek
Actually that matches to the stories about Ukrainians that showed some Russian soldiers how to use an indoor toilet when they asked. (At the end they were taking the toilets with them...)
A quarter of the Russians still do not have an indoor toilet - every 7th no heating in the house - a lot no running water or no running hot water. 3200 russian schools do not have indoor toilets.

Actually Putin would have enough work inside his own country...
It is genocide, that's probably the reason it's not being touched on enough.

Remarkable intercepted call from a Russian soldier, cursing his own leadership.

Just blatantly state-sanctioned terrorism at this point. Civilian targets picked with barely any other consideration beyond mass casualities.

Damn it
I assume this is a soldier speaking to his wife / girlfriend?
I find it crazy that she almost sounds dismissive of the issues he is telling her e.g."why do you talk about them like that"
The power of propaganda is insane
Maybe, just maybe, she thinks this kind of talk will get him problems with the Russian state. And she wants him to not say such things on the phone.
Or maybe she does believe whatever the Russian government is saying.

Think most Russians are against the war in some way and most are afraid to speak their mind.
So the Russians will be happy and go home after they finish off the Azov Battalion in Mariupol? I wonder if this one battalion is the reason for all this denazification talk?
This man always writes interesting threads and seems to coincide with many others. The Russians may be able to advance but without enough manpower or means to maintain the position for a long time.
Exactly. It’s the fatal flaw of their BTG concept. Not enough men/material to continue or maintain after the initial assault.
I hope it continues like this.
I'm curious to see what happens in Izium. Seeing it on the map it looks like a city boxed in the middle of the forest, something like northwest of Kiev.
I imagine that very entrenched and good for ambushes but also with thousands of russian mercenaries in that area, and Kherson, where there are more and more partisans. Many interesting fronts.
Let's see if the heavy artillery they've received makes any difference.

The BBC reports:
"Turkey says it is closing its airspace to Russian civilian and military planes flying to Syria.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says the ban will be effective for three months, according to local media.
The move undermines Russia's large-scale air campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, forcing Russian planes to take longer routes. Turkey backs resistance groups in Syria opposed to President Assad.
Turkey, a Nato member, has refrained from the wide-ranging sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and US over its invasion of Ukraine. But it has blocked Russian warships from entering the Black Sea through its waters.
The Turkish government is trying to mediate between Russia and Ukraine to bring about a ceasefire.
Millions of Russians go on holiday to Turkey annually, but the Ukraine conflict is expected to cause a big slump in visits by Russians and Ukrainians this year."

Such people, even those acting in good faith, are entirely divorced from the real world. In this real world, absolutely nothing that the Russian say or agree to can be trusted an inch.
