Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Dalit]

This war is getting intertwined into global cold war. China now openly defying western sanctions on airplane parts. Zelensky openly endorsed Taiwan independence. I wouldn't be surprised if China go full board to assist Russia economically and militarily. Trade does not matter any more, brinksmanship to ww3 is here. Ukraine citizens should really leave ASAP. We have the potential to see an all out drone war if China supply Russia with latest drones and ammunition's if US and China doesn't backdown. Ukraine first, Taiwan next.

Men/deserters can go to Russia, lol. Ukraine has law against men leaving and Poland/Romania are enforcing it. Women and children going to EU states.

On a basic thing, im european. You have zero knowledge in european history. Dont talk bullshit where you know nothing about.

The Europe that you currently have - where hyper nationalists are not routinely murdering each other with one war or other (first world war, second world war and so many intermediary wars) or developing racist theories against the world or within europeans themselves - is largely built on russian muscle and sacrifice in 1939-45.

It was Soviets who ended facism in Europe and bought civlization which allows a greek (if really true) jump up and down that you are a european like a german or enlish is.

I wouldn't be surprised if China go full board to assist Russia economically and militarily. Trade does not matter any more because dollar/euro has no value to trading partners due to unprecedented thievery by Washington, brinksmanship to ww3 is here. Ukraine citizens should really leave ASAP. We have the potential to see an all out drone war if China supply Russia with latest drones and ammunitions if US doesn't backdown. Ukraine first, Taiwan next. I amstill hopeful all parties stay sane and avoid direct confrontation.

Will China provide Russia uncertified copies of western aircraft parts? Not that sanctioned Putin’s airliners drop out from the sky.

I don’t think Ukraine men want to end up in Siberia gulags.

Mods, this is a serious matter. Why would this guy @Apollon be allowed to threaten another forum member in order to silence him? You have one group of people, especially those that support Ukraine, who want to silence the rest of us who don't agree with them. The rules in the forum needs to be enforced evenly.

That is the deputy defense minister of Ukraine stating that those "M777 field howitzers are unsuitable for long-term use".

Interesting would like to see more on this.

Soviets were facists themself and had no civilisation. Stalin was not different to Hitler in any way. And it was american land lease that beat facism. They should have marched to moscow though and free eastern europe as well.

I want to ask this question from all the supporters of Putin:

(1) Does Putin allow the Chechen population to teach their children in schools and colleges in Chechnian language?
If not, why then Putin demands that Ukraine let the Russian population in Ukraine decide to have Russian as first language in schools and colleges?

(2) What rights do Chechnians have, which have not been given to Russian population in Ukraine that Putin wants them to be separated from Ukraine?

The support of Putin is not about what is right and what is wrong.
It is about always taking the side of those that attack Western Values.
Ukraines desire to join EU for economic reasons and NATO to seek protection makes them the enemy of those that hate the West, part out of envy, and part out of anger that Western values are in conflict with their own, and still seems to be successful.
That makes them defend every dictator long past the time they are killed by their own people.
Logic reasoning will not affect them.

Ukraine war: Russia becomes China's biggest oil supplier

Chinese energy giants have been ramping up imports of heavily discounted Russian oil in recent months.

Ukraine war: Russia becomes China's biggest oil supplier​

Russia has become China's biggest supplier of oil as the country sold discounted crude to Beijing amid sanctions over the Ukraine war.
Imports of Russian oil rose by 55% from a year earlier to a record level in May, displacing Saudi Arabia as China's biggest provider.
China has ramped up purchases of Russian oil despite demand dampened by Covid curbs and a slowing economy.
In February, China and Russia declared their friendship had "no limits".

And Chinese companies, including state refining giant Sinopec and state-run Zhenhua Oil, have increased their purchases of Russian crude in recent months after being offered heavy discounts as buyers in Europe and the US shunned Russian energy in line with sanctions over its war on Ukraine.
The imports into China, which include supplies pumped through the East Siberia Pacific Ocean pipeline and shipments by sea, totalled nearly 8.42m tonnes last month, according to data from the Chinese General Administration of Customs.

That pushed Saudi Arabia - formerly China's biggest source of crude oil - into second place with 7.82m tonnes.

• Russia's economy buckles up for a bumpy ride
• Russian gas boss says: 'Our product, our rules'

In March, the US and UK said they would ban Russian oil, while the European Union has been working towards ending its reliance on Russian gas, as the West steps up the economic response to the invasion of Ukraine.
At the time, US President Joe Biden said the move targeted "the main artery of Russia's economy".
Energy exports are a vital source of revenue for Russia but the move is also likely to impact Western consumers.
Last week, a report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air think tank said Russia earned almost $100bn (£82bn) in revenue from fossil fuel exports in the first 100 days of the country's invasion of Ukraine, despite a fall in exports in May.
The European Union made up 61% of these imports, worth approximately $59bn.

Overall, exports of Russian oil and gas are falling and Moscow's revenue from energy sales has also declined from a peak of well over $1bn a day in March.
But revenues still exceeded the cost of the Ukraine war during the first 100 days - with the CREA estimating that Russia is spending around $876m per day on the invasion.
Monday's figures also showed that China imported 260,000 tonnes of Iranian crude oil last month, its third shipment of Iran oil since last December.
China has continued to buy Iranian oil despite US sanctions on Tehran.

Personally, I do not know why you are not banned since You have violated Forum Rules multiple times. Perhaps mods are less strict than the rules indicated.
They just delete your violating posts.

LOL McMaster. That fat old American general has found two new enemies to hate after Pakistan.

I am glad I could witness these delicious days where US hegemony is being challanged left and right. What an epic humiliation where the neocon Americans seem helpless. Writing therapy articles as an outlet LOL

Interesting would like to see more on this.

While there is plenty of trash in this forum from him, and many others,
I believe Apollon simply informed the member that Germany does not have full freedom of speech, and that certain ”speech” is prosecutable if the member who lives in Europe happens to travel to Germany.
So it is advise, more than a threat.

I might have read another post, of course,

Meanwhile, our Somalian friend who reported Apollon has at least 4 times published photos of dead Ukrainan soldiers, gloating about it.
Reported and posts removed, but no sign of a ban.
His continuous calling Ukrainans == Nazis is distasteful.
I would ask him to edit all old posts and remove such references.

 

[Corax]

I see. So freedom of speech is something worthy of protecting in this forum , but not outside.

~

Rather like how the anti defamation league protect freedom of speech...except when it comes to anyone disagreeing with the fake jewish holocaust. But what to expect from an indian jew...couldn't get a worse combination.

Russia bombed Ukraine's oil refinery. No fuel. No offensive.



NATO can't even beat a bunch of rag tag Taliban in Afghanistan let alone Russia.

Dude give it up with the rag tag taliban you have no idea what you’re talking about and look more stupid with every post

Both sides are strongly preserving armour now.

Russian airforce on the other hand became much more active in Donbas. I believe firing of of some 2-3 star generals on the Russian side made them to fly into the SAM range.

They already lost quite a number of completely irreplaceable assets, and airforce is on the chopping board now too.
