    Ukrainian defense official Danilov just announced:
    1. Gorlovka is Ukrainian now. It’s been occupied for 8 years now.
    2. Everything goes according to their planning.
    3. It’s a big mistake to think that Ukrainian strategy does not include counter attack.

    I think he is hinting that Ukrainians are getting ready to start striking back.
    Things will keep being interesting the next couple of days. It looks like in the last 8 years they realistically pre-planned the war of Russian aggression.

    At the very least, this sort of thing should slow the Russian advance.

    Danilov is an idiot. Probably he would keep saying about Ukraine's victories when Russian tanks are on Kreschatik.

    The sanctions will start to really bite soon.......and that will affect their supply chain.

    The claim is that Russia is "regrouping "........... possible. Or a euphemism......

    So far, Ukrainian defense seemed to show a heck of a lot more sense then the actions of Russian military. I think that if they are not concerned about it - there is a good reason for that.
    They started to display some brand new equipment they seize from fleeing Russians (like today they captured 6 brand new tanks undamaged), so the thinking could be that they plan on just taking all that stuff on the road for free.

    At some point in this war, the West will have to decide whether we stand on the side of international law or we merely suggest its the law. Once a nation becomes a nuclear power, they really can do what they want because of the fear of nuclear war. Nuclear war is the only threat Putin has on the world. If it were me and I had to make the call, I would supply Ukraine with munitions, intelligence, food and so forth while working to make a global response to Russia. United as a global community I would call his bluff. Announce to the world with all the leaders behind me that we will annihilate Russian forces in the Ukraine starting tomorrow at 6AM. If they retreat and admit to stopping aggression, we will back off. If not, Russia is toast.

    Speaking of upping one's game -- following folks around like a puppy and bleating out cat calls .. butt-hurt cause position was shown flawed - not what we call "having game" in the adult room -- not the path to enlightenment.

    Ukrainian Air Force reports shooting down 3 enemy fighter jets, 2 helicopters, and wrecking several columns of armored vehicles in the last 24 hours.

    How Russia's assault on Ukraine and nuclear saber-rattling have unified Western democracies and steered history in a new direction

    How Russia's assault on Ukraine and nuclear saber-rattling have unified Western democracies and steered history in a new direction
    In one week of war, life within the boundaries of Ukraine has been upended, but the brutal assault Russian President Vladimir Putin launched last Thursday has also reverberated around the globe, switching up 75 years of relations among some of the world’s most powerful and wealthy

    Of course it is concerning......very concerning. Just as are Putin's Nuke threats.

    I believe you meant 600 tanks, and 16,000 killed Russian soldiers and another 26,000 captured....Alice in the Wonderland.

    Zelensky who? Oh that guy, handpicked by the U.S neocons. you know that he always says what he is told to say. I know people what to raise the morale of the population but the figures given by the Ukrainians are just ridiculous. Only an idiot could possibly take them seriously.

    That column is jammed up and going no where fkr the time being. Expect many more vehicle breakdowns in the coming days.

    Heavy artillery is still coming in from the west. They will be sitting ducks.

    They are not losing the war. Russkies have not even used their warplanes. Not a single one. They are taking their time. I believe they fooled you and the rest. That massive column is not going to stay around Kiew. At least half of it is going down south in order to encircle Azov and other hard core units around Donbass.

    Looks like Ukraine will be a bigger generational trauma to young Russians than Afghanistan was to Soviet youth back in the 80’s. While horrible, the good thing about it is that Russia will have no appetite to threaten Ukraine any time soon after this war is over.
    They just didn’t catch up to this reality yet. :lol:

    If they even have them. As of now, Russians are paper tigers. And they don't have time when their economy is on the brink of a recession. $20 billion is being flushed down the toilet everyday.

    Pretty soon Russia will have to go back to the barter system.
