Russia has denied that its forces killed civilians in Bucha, and Moscow has requested that the UN Security Council convene to discuss what it called a "provocation by Ukrainian radicals" in Bucha.
 
Hmm...by any chance the Ukrainians are being equipped with Humvees armed with TOWs? That could compensate for lack of armor mechanized units as a whole when you have thousands of them. Also the European countries could provide more armored trucks or SUV types or even MRAP types to help transport thousands of troops while equipped with anti tank missiles as well as MANPADs. With drones to help scout ahead and take out the tanks from long distance. Hopefully the British artillery vehicles will help along with more Russian made ones in terms of rockets and arty.
Well, not sure if Humvee with TOW are going to cut it. You will need heavy, because this is going to be armor warfare, you probably can pop one or two shot and then going to be destroyed by Russian tank. You cannot replace armor with Light Skin Vehicle....

If Russia know what they are doing (And I suspected that they had learnt their lesson,) they would be able to crush light AT infantry without defensive position. The War being fought in the East is going to be more conventional and less asymmetrical

Official English version, you can just translate it.

I wonder if Putin was influenced by this guy or vice versa and for the Russian populace. Official Russian news. Long reading but worth knowing what Putin's intentions are.

What should Russia do with Ukraine?​


Ukraine is in just such a situation. The fact that the Ukrainian voter voted for the "peace of Poroshenko" and "peace of Zelensky" should not be misleading - the Ukrainians were quite satisfied with the shortest path to peace through the blitzkrieg, which the last two Ukrainian presidents transparently hinted at when they were elected. It was this method of "appeasement" of internal anti-fascists - through total terror - that was used in Odessa , Kharkov , Dnepropetrovsk , Mariupol , and other Russian cities. And this quite suited the Ukrainian man in the street. Denazification is a set of measures in relation to the nazified mass of the population, which technically cannot be subjected to direct punishment as war criminals.

See something similar to what Putin said in his speech at the start of the invasion?

Well it can be hit and run, there are many towns and villages and forests and woods and they can fire a missile or two and get out quick or coordinate with other TOW armed vehicles and hit multiple tanks or other armored vehicles simultaneously, I mean this can by very powerful psychological weapon and having an impact on Russian tank or other armor crews seeing their colleagues getting blown, even retreat or stall them. I think the Ukrainians need camouflage nets as well to help reduce getting detected by visual means and help ambush tank columns while hidden.
 
The Ukrainians are very formidable force with what they have done so far, obviously with Russian incompetence in barely more than a month long war. You can easily bet the Ukrainians will be even more formidable as they rebuild and improve their military forces besides just technology.
Well, it remind to be seen, but I can say it is hopeful.

Refused probably people see Lavrov is a liar. For months he denied invasion despite being questioned many times. his reputation is in the trash bin.

Russia repeats claim it didn't attack Ukraine, saying it was forced to defend to pro-Kremlin regions​

 
Not bad. Initially 100 they said, now 600 delivered. This kamikaze drone will have huge psychological effect on enemy soldiers: the death can come from everywhere.
100 were delivered, they are called "Switchblade 600"

I am pretty sure more will be deliver tho.

No one believes anything the Russians say anymore and to be honest their excuses and version of events would be laughable if it wasn't for the war crimes they have committed,
