the Calm before the storm
Over the Summer the Russian factories have been pumping out armoured vehicles and tanks
and in the Autumn will come the Russian counter attack
a lot of armour is being sent to the front, Russians have stopped the Ukrainians in the last few months with modest gains
now Russia will come forward with strength and numbers
factories which were bankrupt and shutdown have been taken over by the Russian Ministry of defence

sometimes I absolutely disagree with youtube video assessments. No maps really even show Ukraine in Verbove. We have known they are there for 3 days. So how the hell can they be stalled? Verbove is behind even the second trench lines. It's clear Russia has no reserves left. That why they are doing lateral transfers from other front line locations. US satellites are picking up fierce battles in Verbove. But I absolutely do not see a stall at this point.

Military Summery is a belarussian pretending to be “against all violence” while doing his completely pro russian one sided updates and sharing his conspiracy theories.

Taliban also had forced recruitment, yet I am sure you ignore that because they couldn't be prevailed on. Isolated forced recruitment occurs in every battle. Iranian military did it against Iraq attack where 15+ year olds were brought in. You think they all volunteered it.
Get some perspective. The reality is that more than half the refugees that moved to western Europe within the first two months eventually went back. All the Russians that could get out are now out and nobody went back.
But yes feel free to doctor a random tweet to make your case.
Definitely: the biggest missile strike in 5 months and only two civilians died.
4 military transport and a supersonic bomber destroyed in a single week. Technical term may be damaged, but even the most minor damage to an explosive charge will take a year to correct. If every 3rd week is like this, then yes let the armada amass quickly
Double capacity to export via Romania. This is the sort of friends Ukraine has.
Lets see Russian friends: default to stabbing in the back. Negotiate with neighbor's president to let go of the Chef, but violate that negotiation.
Be friends with China, to have your territory to show up on a China map.
Romania to bolster Ukraine export corridor despite Russian attacks
Bucharest seeks to double capacity of alternative shipping route through Danube river, says prime ministerRomania to bolster Ukraine export corridor despite Russian attacksBucharest seeks to double capacity of alternative shipping route through Danube river, says prime ministerThe increased capacity of the Constanța port and other routes will allow Ukrainian grain exports to double, said Romania’s prime minister © Andreea Campeanu/Getty ImagesRomania to bolster Ukraine export corridor despite Russian attacks on twitter (opens in a new window)Romania to bolster Ukraine export corridor despite Russian attacks on facebook (opens in a new window)Romania to bolster Ukraine export corridor despite Russian attacks on linkedin (opens in a new window)current progress 0%Marton Dunai in Bucharest August 27 2023Jump to comments sectionPrint this pageRomania will double the capacity of its main Black sea port and Danube shipping lanes within two months to help Ukraine ship its grain out of Russia’s reach, according to the country’s prime minister.Marcel Ciolacu told the Financial Times his plan would be implemented irrespective of Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports on the other side of the Danube river on the border with Romania.“Ukraine will have about 40mn tons of grain for export in 2023,” Ciolacu said. “In order to [facilitate] that, we have increased the capacity both in Constanța harbour and the pathways leading to Constanța harbour to make this happen. We mobilised to the best that we could.”The Romanian pledge to boost the shipping corridor by dredging the Danube and expanding ports’ infrastructure comes after Russia backed out of an agreement allowing Ukrainian grain to reach global markets through the Black Sea. Moscow has also threatened commercial vessels leaving Ukrainian ports, prompting a rerouting of exports via the Danube.“We have learned our lessons on Russia well,” Ciolacu said. “We are at zero dependency on Russian energy or resources. Our support to Ukraine is unconditional.”In his first interview with international media since becoming prime minister in June, Ciolacu said Bucharest would not be intimidated by Moscow and expressed confidence that his country’s Nato membership would deter Russia from any direct hostilities.“There is no security risk for Romania at this moment,” he said.The increased capacity of the Black Sea port of Constanța and other routes will allow Ukrainian grain exports to double to 4mn tonnes a month, he said. “Investments are under way in the Sulina channel,” he added, referring to Romania’s main deepwater shipping lane through the Danube delta.Despite repeated Russian attacks on Ukraine’s grain silos in the ports of Izmail and Reni along the Danube river, he said there were “solutions” — for instance by allowing ships to transit by night from October and increasing freight traffic to a minimum of 14 vessels a day. Doubling the size of the barges as well “means Ukraine won’t have to use grain warehouses as much”, he said.Shipping industry figures told the FT the plan was feasible.Romania will also open more road border crossing points and improve its rail infrastructure at stations bordering Ukraine to accelerate the transfer of cargo, Ciolacu added.Marcel Ciolacu‘We have learned our lessons on Russia well,’ said Marcel Ciolacu, Romania’s prime minister © Adrian PîclișanRomania has been tight-lipped about military assistance to Kyiv, but Ciolacu said its partners knew Bucharest provided much more than humanitarian aid and logistical support. The country is also involved in preparing Ukrainian pilots to fly a growing fleet of F-16 fighter jets donated by Nato members and is awaiting the necessary documents authorising their training to start.“I expect to sign the protocols [for the pilots] in the next few days, which is the last remaining hurdle,” he said. “The logistics are in place, as far as we are concerned.”Increased military and infrastructure spending linked to the war in Ukraine has an impact on the country’s budget, he said. The Romanian central bank has projected the budget deficit will jump to 7.5 per cent of gross domestic product this year, far above a 4.4 per cent target and 6.2 per cent in 2022.RecommendedSergey VakulenkoLessons from the ‘tanker war’ for UkraineContainer ship Joseph Schulte (Hong Kong flag) leaves the port of Odesa to proceed through the temporary corridor established for merchant vessels from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports in Odesa, Ukraine, this weekCiolacu will meet EU officials in Brussels this week to discuss measures to contain the funding gap. He said “there is no way” the EU would reduce funding to Romania to force more austerity on Bucharest.“We have had to reorganise the budget to aid the Ukraine shipments,” Ciolacu said, adding he would try to get an EU nod to account for war-related items outside the deficit calculations. “These were unforeseen expenses . . . so we will need an exemption from the fiscal code.”Russia’s war in Ukraine has also posed security risks to Romania’s close ally Moldova, whose EU application Bucharest supports wholeheartedly, Ciolacu said. “Moldova is by far the most vulnerable state in Europe.”His Hungarian counterpart, Viktor Orbán, has used his veto in the EU and Nato to hold up various membership applications, in a bid to force Brussels to release frozen EU funds, Ciolacu said.“[Hungarians] speculate with this,” he said, adding it was wrong to politicise such strategic matters.“There is a war between a dictator and the free world . . . one that Europe cannot afford to lose.”

Eh- false analogy- the causes of these wars are all different, and the Ukrainian war cause is the most unique.
to risk war with Russia for their NATO dreams that were born from low self esteem and self hate for being Soviet and Slavic?
NATO has enslaved the whole of Ukraine, except for the part Russia occupies- NATO intelligence, NATO weapons, NATO money, NATO instructions, NATO food, NATO future- this isnt "enslavement"?

Trump is unpredictable, not rational. He says he can end the war in 24h but doesn’t say how he will do it. The only possibility is Trump sending US troop into Ukraine. That in turn threatens a nuclear exchange with Russia.
Hoping Trump to return to power he will bring peace is much like hugging a bomb and hope the bomb not blowing up. But ok why not. Also, Putin bets on Trump win.

Ukraine 'used cardboard drones to destroy a Mig-29 and four Su-30 fighter jets!!!
Ukraine 'used cardboard drones to destroy $100m fighter jets in Russia'
Ukraine reportedly used flat-packed drones that are made from cardboard and are said to be easier to assemble than Ikea furniture to attack an airfield in Russia - and destroy $100m of Vladimir Putin's fighter jets.
>> wow … very efficient use of resources with a good return on investment!
