Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

Coming back to Ukraine - Russians are getting boned. At this point they should all just face their guns towards the Kremlin and kill Putin.

It's by far the easiest target. Ukrainians not attacking it for so long means they are ok with Russian forces being tied there.

Last time I checked telegrams, the unit there told of "unending" amount of Russian artillery in the area.

MLRS blasts kept flying in between sides for weeks, but they mostly hit empty ground because both sides avoid crossing each other's artillery range.

Ah I see, now according to you Ukrainians want Kherson to get annexed and lose control of the Dnieper delta. Wow. Ok.

Ukrainian steelworks defenders appear to signal end of Mariupol siege

Siege of Azovstal steelworks appears to be over, while Putin responds calmy to Finland and Sweden’s NATO move

The Ukrainian unit holed up beneath the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol said on Monday its garrison was fulfilling orders to save the lives of troops, an apparent sign that the longest and bloodiest battle of the Ukraine war had come to an end.

Reuters saw about a dozen buses apparently carrying Ukrainian fighters leaving the plant on Monday. It was not possible to determine how many people were aboard. Some 600 fighters have been estimated to be inside the vast Soviet-era plant, including dozens of wounded.

“In order to save lives, the entire Mariupol garrison is implementing the approved decision of the Supreme Military Command and hopes for the support of the Ukrainian people,” the Azov Regiment said in a social media post.

Earlier on Monday, Vladimir Putin appeared to climb down from Russian threats to retaliate against Sweden and Finland for announcing plans to join NATO.

“As far as expansion goes, including new members Finland and Sweden, Russia has no problems with these states – none. And so in this sense there is no immediate threat to Russia from an expansion to include these countries,” Putin said.

The comments appeared to mark a major shift in rhetoric, after years of casting NATO enlargement as a direct threat to Russia’s security, including citing it as a justification for the invasion of Ukraine itself.

Nope it is not white phosphorous. It is some sort of Munition, I forgot what it is called.

International Law says nothing about White Phosphorus.
There is a treaty on Incendiary Weapons, which are banned to use on civilians.
The treaty specifically excludes smoke munitions from being classified as Incendiary Weapons, even if they contain White Phosphorus.
Only amateurs or trolls bring up the use of ”White Phosphorus”. The latter wants to make people believe that the use of smoke munition is a war crime.

Treaties, States parties, and Commentaries - CCW Protocol (III) prohibiting Incendiary Weapons, 1980

Most of Russian warheads are few kilotons, very weak. Their ICBM capability is only around 1500 heads. Of which only 680-700 are first strike, highest readiness ones on R36 targeted on the US from Yasny. The rest are programmed to target France/UK/Germany/Turkey from Kozelsk, and China from Uzur.

Only 1500 ICBMs..

This is surrender. Quit the spin. Nobody is going to fall it. The guys at Azovtal couldn't take it any more.

It's really important to know how much non-frontline forces Russia lost.

Every dedicated logistics unit, signals battalion, HQ auxiliary, engineers, recovery etc lost is telling what role their supraordinate unit was to do, and what they can still do.

Russian 2nd army for example lost its 2 auxiliary engineering battalions, and then lost 2 engineering reinforcement battalions originally belonging to 5th army.

This meant they had an important enough role to worth sacrificing 4 battalions in a row, and requisite more from another army in a rush. As we got to know now, they were to bridge Seversky Donets — the critical part of the operation
