why fight tanks when you can just fight what makes them move. BrilliantUkraine forces have been successful at targeting Russian fuel trucks.

Probably.it’s reasonable to change the constitution your country was founded upon…knowing Russia won’t be happy to stop there. Are you a Russian bot?!

Would help demoralize the Russians a bit faster than they already are.What's a general major in the Russian military? Is that just a general? Because reports are coming out that a 2nd Russian general has been killed.
This is not Valeri Gerasimov by the way.

Fierce resistance by Ukraine and logistical problems have slowed it down, yes. The current consensus is that their assumptions and expectations were laughably optimistic.Russia have slowed down with this?
Please provide an English translation when possible.

More than likely, the only way Putin would be tried before the ICCJ is at the conclusion of the war. The example given by the experts is that of how the sanctions in Bosnia held until after the war and the sanctions remained until war criminals were surrendered to authorities. Russia is obvious NOT Bosnia, but that's the current line of thinking.So IF war crimes have been proven to have been committed, HOW does one get Vlad the Impaler into court?
First, he has to be toppled by the masses or by a new government, and then he gets transferred to The Hague. That is how Slobodan Milosevic was sent there from Serbia after being found of guilty of other crimes in his own country.So IF war crimes have been proven to have been committed, HOW does one get Vlad the Impaler into court?
It is apparently the lowest of the 4 general ranks, so a 1-star. It is not in itself an indicator of military failure for any single general to be killed, or even a handful. Killing generals is also not an effective way in itself to win a war. It is more relevant if it is as part of effectively destroying (at least partially) the units that they command. Broader losses of experienced personnel at every leadership level, from NCOs through mid-level and general Officers, do reduce an army's ability to fight effectively.What's a general major in the Russian military?

It's a 1 star general, according to Wikipedia, equivalent to a Brigadier General in the US or UK.What's a general major in the Russian military? Is that just a general? Because reports are coming out that a 2nd Russian general has been killed.

I think in all armies General Major is a two star general. Typically has a few thousand people under their command.What's a general major in the Russian military? Is that just a general? Because reports are coming out that a 2nd Russian general has been killed.

We were one of the few to send them lethal aid before the invasion happened, I think for all our ills as a country our intelligence services seem pretty on point.Tweet

A general shouldn't die, I mean, if he dies maybe it's because he was too far ahead, like the one who died a few days ago from a sniper shot when he stood in front of a convoy to try to organize chaos.
I assume he moved to a different location after this, and they evacuated the entire building? I imagine the Russians are going to easily figure out where that is, and send a missile at it.Tweet

Nobody here can tell you for sure. The worry is, as you say, that you would be an unwarranted distraction. Like some of those guys on Reddit who are living out their own hero fantasies, by just going to... whatever, and taking plenty of selfies and putting them on social media. One guy was wearing a Canadian flag badge, and a "medic" badge, despite the fact that he had zero military experience and zero medical experience. He'd done a few hours of some kind of course, or something.I've been thinking that, if Ukraine survives this as a free and democratic nation and the Russian troops leave, I could go there for a few weeks and do whatever I can to help in ways that don't really need me to understand the Ukrainian language - e.g. help to cart away rubble, or clean up stuff, or help cook food.
Is this a good idea or would I just be an unwanted distraction?
I don't think they care about where they are evacuated... The Russian army are running out of time and want to carpet bomb the resistance in Mariupol & Kharkiv (maybe more), and that would be easier to do once the civilians are supposedly evacuated.For evacuating them to Russia/Belarus right?
