.....slightly closer to Russia's territorial waters than the buoys were.Estonia should just replace them with anchored sea mines
Absolutely...a few would do......slightly closer to Russia's territorial waters than the buoys were.
What's all this? Apparently, 4 different sources have said as much to Reuters.
Vladimir Putin ready to 'freeze' war in Ukraine with ceasefire recognising recent Russian gains, sources say
Vladimir Putin reportedly views recent gains in the war as enough to sell a victory to the Russian people, saving him from making unpopular decisions like spending more money and mobilising more people.news.sky.com
Obviously it will be a non-starter, and any ceasefire/armistice with Russia is worthless, but look beyond that.
Perhaps Russia isn't doing quite as well as the narrative would suggest?
Putin cannot fight for as long as he wants, it's BS. Ukraine is causing huge financial damage targeting refineries. The war is creating huge financial and societal issues in Russia and there is no way Putin would "freeze" if he thought he could win.If this is true, this is significant. Its an admission that they cannot complete their objectives of "de-nazifying" Ukraine & unable to completely occupy Ukraine.
This war must have cost Russia billions.
Well summarised... thanksPutin cannot fight for as long as he wants, it's BS. Ukraine is causing huge financial damage targeting refineries. The war is creating huge financial and societal issues in Russia and there is no way Putin would "freeze" if he thought he could win.
Plus nobody is fooled by what "freezing" really is.
It's just a mechanism to pause, rebuild, restrategise and violate again in future at the most opportune time for Russia.
Ukraine are not so stupid.
I saw him yesterday on Ukrainian TV, asked the Mrs what he was saying..... snd she said "just bullshitting for the fascist state"Lavrov has been quiet recently (thank goodness) and invisible on the news feeds I use.
Maybe it's nothing, maybe he's all over other feeds, or maybe he's starting to distance himself from the situation
Love your Mrs.I saw him yesterday on Ukrainian TV, asked the Mrs what he was saying..... snd she said "just bullshitting for the fascist state"
I suppose even thick f***s at some point realise that they're onto a losing thing.Lavrov has been quiet recently (thank goodness) and invisible on the news feeds I use.

Let's count our blessings. He's one of the most odious people on the planet. I can't imagine a death sufficiently hideous that befits Putin's glove puppet.Lavrov has been quiet recently (thank goodness) and invisible on the news feeds I use.

3000 glide bombs in March... unbelievable. If that stat and the Kharkhiv supermarket blast fail to get the west to speed up supply of air defense systems...then I don't know what will.Up to 200 people innocent people could have been inside. Russians have no regard for the sanctity of human life.
This is why Putin's bogus call for peace will fail. Nobody believes it will end there.
Putin must be defeated heavily.
Ukraine war: Russia attacks Kharkiv supermarket
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said over 200 people could have been inside the home improvement shop.www.bbc.co.uk
