Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[gambit]

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances refers to three identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994 to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents

So in regards to Ukraine, there were no mention of Belarus. Correct me if am wrong. Let us take this one step at a time.

As long as Ukrainians continue to provide open intelligence, it doesn't look like it will take long.

Because, like it or not, Ukrainians are a more sophisticated people, miss Yawen Xu.

training is important , the teaching must be hammered in soldier only teaching and theory give you nothing , it take months of intense training

So what's the deal with Ukraine at the moment? how's the Russian army been faring up?

Ukraine's been putting up some stiff resistence, but its not enough to stop Russia.

Russian military has been blitzkrieging the Ukrainians hard. Currently advancing an estimated 125km per day into Ukrainian terrritory. The Ukrainian air force has been hit really hard by the Russians, with the 7th tactical air wing and the possibly the 831st tactical brigade being wiped out (su27 and su24 destroyed). A heck tonne of ukrainian airfields, bases and air ports have been bombed/destroyed. Russia currently holding air superiority.

Russia currently fighting in Kiev. Ukrainians are currently conducting a retreat from several cities, which the russians have taken. A lot of Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers dead

If NATO attacks Russia, China absolutely must join the fight and help Russia. This is of critical importance. It will no longer be about Ukraine sovereignty, it will a global war. China can’t just watch from the sideline and see Russia weakened.

Seems you are more knowledgeable about China's interests than Xi Jinping and CCP itself

From 2017 but especially relevant now :

Brazilian police have unveiled a plot led by a Ukrainian armed movement to recruit Brazilian neo-Nazis with combat experience to fight pro-Russian rebels in the European country’s civil war.

A series of raids took place last month in seven cities on the homes of neo-Nazis in order to prevent possible attacks against Jews and gays in Porto Alegre, according to Brazilian police, who seized vast amounts of Nazi propaganda material and also illegal ammunition, reported the Zero Hora news portal.

The Brazilian Israelite Confederation, the country’s umbrella Jewish organization, said Monday in a statement on its website that it is “following the investigation,” but preferred not to address journalists. It re-published news articles about the case from Brazilian newspapers on its site.


“Brazil’s simmering neo-Nazi movement, with its secret world of swastikas, hate propaganda and street violence, was being recruited by right-wing extremists in Ukraine,” reported the Financial Times on Tuesday.

According to Brazilian police, an Italian member of an international socialist national group called Misanthropic Division was recruiting youngsters ten months ago to fight in Ukraine. They are believed to have ties with Azov Battalion, an ultra-nationalist paramilitary group aligned with Kiev.

“They offered money and military training. We confirmed that a native of Porto Alegre had been fighting in Ukraine after being recruited,” a police spokesman told the newspaper, adding that at least another five may have joined in fighting in the war.

Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, where the recruitment took place, hosts a large community of German descendants. Since 2013, over 50 people have been investigated for downloading Nazi content from the internet.

A study by the University of Campinas revealed that there are about 100,000 Hitler supporters in Brazil’s southern region and several racist groups believed to be active, reported Zero Hora.

The rise of neo-Nazis in Brazil has challenged a popular myth that racism, at least the overt variety on display in the U.S. and other western countries, does not exist there, the Financial Times wrote.

Four skinheads who reportedly were planning an attack on another gang, who also were carrying anti-Jewish neo-Nazi propaganda, were arrested last week in Sao Paulo. They had showed their faces openly on an internet video challenging a rabbi that had taped a pro-Jewish message standing up next to an anti-Semitic poster.

@lastofthepatriots @F-22Raptor @gambit, so other than these foreign Nazis there is also the Ukranian Nazi anti-Russian group called Azov Battalion which seems to be notorious. Can you three say openly in America where you live that you support these Ukrainian Nazis ? The Nazis are collaborating with the Ukranian military and irony is both the Ukranian president and prime minister are Jews.

Considering the Russians don’t fear foreign interference, and the lessons they learned from taking cities first and then the country side, it looks like the Russians are following the guerrilla playbook; take the countryside and slowly work towards the large cities.
