    yeah...just the sort of people who will have (or did have?) good, well paid secure jobs and won't want to throw it all away by offering themselves up as cannon fodder in the Ukraine or as targets in strikes by the Ukranian AF...

    Mind you, a lot of them might already have left Russia, being....

    The war began only because of the desire of the United States to deploy its missiles in Ukraine.

    As defeated and humiliated as it gets considering their earlier statements. Those people are without honour and should be treated as such. I keep saying Russians are too nice. Way too nice.

    Cultural centres don’t kill Russians do they...?.....anyway....Russia has limited supplies of PGM and difficulty making anymore. That’s one less that can’t be used against a bridge, rail head, or an M777, Starstreak, Pz2000, brimstone and hopefully on the not too distant future MLRS locations....;)

    Ukraine has a lot of captured Russian soldiers. Any mistreatment will result in reciprocity. ;)

    If we listened to neocon useful idiots on this forum then surely the war was supposed to finish by now. They've been declaring glorious victories from day one and somehow the Russians are still in it to win it. If their silly claims are
    Based on numerous independent sources and variety of videos available the Ukrainians are the ones committing horrific crimes against PoW's, not the Russians. How about reciprocity? ;-)

    I wonder if 1984 is popular reading in Russia. I'd imagine it's not as fun to read about it when you're living it.

    Russian propagandists all over were insisting that there wouldn't even be an invasion of Ukraine right up until it happened.

    As for who is winning, well, let's just say that Russia has no path to victory in Ukraine. The best they can do is blow more stuff up and murder more Ukrainians for a while before they're finally driven out for good.

    How many times you want people to keep posting gruesome images of the Ukrainian forces crimes only to be ignored. We are talking real crimes against humanity. Incidentally, All recorded by themselves. For some of them is taking PoW's (while conscious and alive) eyes out the reason to brag about.

    Read through it.

    It's difficult to blame the average Russian peasant, with naught but an old TV to turn on. Harder to forgive resident idiots that have access to complete information.

    No, actually! What happened? I just continue to be struck by the similarities between modern Russia, its Soviet predecessor state, and the fictional dystopia of 1984 that was created based on the latter.

    Personally I'm thinking that Italy could do something more about this.
    The Teseo missiles family is well known in NATO environment [it's known as "OTOMAT"].
    Actually the last versions are Italian-French [the engine is French].
    It can hit a target 180km far and the missile launcher is substantially multi-platform.

    But the Italian leadership is not persuading the Parliament.
    Some Italian parties have got good relationships with Russia and this is a problem.
    This is the main reason why military Italian aids for Ukraine are not exceptional, let's be realistic.

    Our Foreign Minister has submitted a fantasy peace plan to UN [to UN? UN can do nothing ... I have to make a call phone to our Foreign Minister ... suggesting him to resign! :police:].

    Nope. Italian government is not reliable about the Ukrainian crisis because the parties sustaining it are not playing together.

    A leader of the far-right Azov Regiment says an order has been issued to cease in the group’s last-ditch defense of Mariupol, which has been gutted by the Russian military, and that the effort will now focus on saving lives and removing the dead.

    No, it was not.

    Ukraine is not Russia's possession.

    Does it look like Ukraine is losing the city of Mariupol? I won't be surprised if Ukraine gerts a plan to get Mariupol back in a surprising way. Putin still thinks He'll have control Ukraine under his power there he gives the orders and Ukraine is expected to do what they're told by Putin and the Russian empire. Simple as that.

    I hope Ukraine doesn't become Russia's possesion because Putin will be the dictator of Ukraine and well as Russia.
