Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[IblinI]

What we see:

-Day by day Russians capturing more territory.
-Massive Russian columns moving in broad daylight ( a sure sign of air dominance)
-Russians were inside the capital by day 3, now they are tightening the noose around it by the minute.
-Russians capturing Cities
-no evidence of a functional ukrainian airforce, besides a few drones here and there. Which at best will harrass the Russians, but will be a drop in the ocean in terms of stopping the invasion. And what we dont see, is for every sucessfull drone strike, they dont show you the 10 others that were shot down.


on the west side:

absolute nothing but propaganda and lies:

-Case in point, their 13 hercules on that snake island. Which became a "mainstream media hit" and they were given medals by the president for their "martyrdom" ... I dont know how anyone can take the ukies seriously after this?

Random pictures of a single armored vehicle knocked out here and there, with many ending up being fakes.
-Western media literally censoring the Russian media, and broadcasting outrageously one sided stories ,and routinely end up being fake.

Meanwhile ukraine is losing ground steadily. And are probably taking unbeivable casualties. Imagine trying to make a pitched stance against an army with complete dominance in the air and artillery. Its been an absolute slaughter so far. And the maps dont lie (western media certainly does though)

like this one, that the damaged military truck that belonged to the Ukraine army in 2014 is poorly photoshopped "Z" and labeled as burned Russian truck.

The well known traitors. Indian backstbbers. 90 percent of their army is using Russian Hardware, pathetic losers.

Not quite, its 38.7% by nominal GDP. And you can remove Japan and several other countries from the potential markets for Russian exports. It doesn't make sense to just export to Asia instead of Europe, how long is it going to take to build new pipelines to get Russias main export to Asia?

the pipelines already exist.

It took US/NATO 1 month and 1 week to defeat Saddam's forces in Iraq with 100k-130k troops (US) + x NATO. Russia is doing pretty good in just 5 days. I am seeing signs Kyiv will fall in the next 2-3 days to Russia.

Really makes you wonder why the EU is desperate to send force and supplies. If Ukraine were doing fine like the media claims then they wouldn’t react this way.

But I really wonder what will happen after they captured Ukraine with the way Russia is being cut off to the world.

This is an American who lives in Kiev. According to him the Zelensky regime handed out weapons to criminals and now they’re looting and raping people. If you search his name he’s made other videos.

There are people in India who are fond of Russia but the Modi government is not one of them. The Modi government is not affiliated with bringing harmony and justice within India so why will it not support the Nazi government of Zelensky and its Western government masters, why will the Modi government not betray Russia.

This is an American who lives in Kiev. According to him the Zelensky regime handed out weapons to criminals and now they’re looting and raping people. If you search his name he’s made other videos.

Nice information, thank you. Zelensky has armed professional criminals within Ukraine and he has also called for criminals from all over the world to fight against Russia in Ukraine.

And I hope Gonzalo Lira doesn't get arrested by Ukraine government.

Pakistan ‘won’t take sides’ in UN debate on Ukraine​

UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan has decided not to participate in the emergency session of the UN General Assembly that began on Monday to discuss the Ukrainian crisis.
“Pakistan has decided not to take sides on this issue,” a diplomatic source told Dawn. “Islamabad supports a peaceful and negotiated settlement.”

Prime Minister Imran Khan, who visited Moscow on the day the invasion began, defended his decision on Monday, saying that he was there to discuss bilateral issues only.
The General Assembly is expected to wind up its debate on Tuesday and by then representatives of more than 100 countries would have addressed the emergency session. The meeting will decide whether to support a US-sponsored resolution that demands Russia’s immediate withdrawal from Ukraine.

Ukraine’s ambassador to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya warned the global body that “if Ukraine does not survive, the UN will not survive.”

Polish ambassador Krzysztof Szczerski told the meeting that Pakistani civilians and students were among those thousands of people who were seeking refuge in Poland and the Polish government was sheltering them.

The General Assembly has only held 10 emergency sessions since 1950, in line with a provision widely known as the ‘Uniting for Peace’ resolution.

The resolution gives the assembly the power to take up important matters when the Security Council is unable to act due to differences among its five permanent members.

A General Assembly debate is considered the world body’s second-best option because its resolutions are non-binding, unlike those of the Security Council.
The US, which initiated the debate, first went to the Security Council on Feb. 25, seeking a binding resolution, but Russia vetoed the effort.

As the debate began, UN Secretary-General António Guterres informed the assembly that while Russian strikes were largely targeting Ukrainian military facilities, they had “credible accounts” of non-military targets sustaining heavy damage.

“Enough is enough,” he said. “This escalating violence … is totally unacceptable. Soldiers need to move back to their barracks. Leaders need to move to peace.”

He also emphasized the need to respect “the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders.”

Assembly President Abdulla Shahid informed the meeting: “As we convene here in the General Assembly, negotiators from both sides are holding talks in Belarus” to end the crisis that began last week.

Although China and India had abstained from the Feb. 25 vote in the Security Council, they participated in Monday’s debate.

China’s Permanent Representative Zhang Jun said China supports the EU, Nato and Russia resuming dialogue including the “legitimate” security concerns of all, including Moscow’s.
Russia defended its decision to invade Ukraine as member state after member state called for ending the war. Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia rejected the suggestion that Moscow launched the military operation to protect residents of breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.

I don't think it is possible for Russia to fully 'capture' Ukraine, they don't have the numbers to occupy the entire country and supress the on-going insurgency. It's probably going to be a long and bloody conflict with millions displaced and a death toll measured in the 100,000's, with much of the country reduced to rubble.

Putin won't back down, but neither will the Ukrainian people. That should be obvious to anybody at this point.
