Russia Ukraine Update Thread

By not telling those soldiers what they were heading into, Russian army leadership committed a HUGE breach of faith.

Soldiers ... of any country ... don't like that kind of thing ... and have memories like elephants.

What do they suppose to do now? They obviously have some morals, they do not want to die also. But in mother Russia the only thing is waiting for them at the moment is death. Their faces and confessions are all over the place.

There will be lots of perished with 'mysterious circumstances' on a paper - the most common cause of death in Russia.

Thank you. Fixed the link.

Just chatting with a friend in Poland. All is well there but they have 500,000 refugees to deal with at the moment but lots of international aid.

Lots of American soldiers and airmen. Plus other countries.

I don't think this one has been posted, but I think this stream is a good one. 9 cams, if you change to a high resolution they look great, they also list where the town is located in relation to Kyiv. Just thought I'd share.

NO WORDS.

Young Russian soldier, sent to die, surrendered. He was given food and something to drink, and was allowed to call his family. He cries because this is not his war, it's Putin's.

This one hits the feels the hardest for now. He looks so hungry. Tries to swallow his food and is trying not to choke on his tears at the same time. Mad mad world we live in. These soldiers are not some animals. Putin is crushing the souls of his own people

They are hitting a stalemate Russians cant enter cities without heavy losses and Ukrainians cant leave as they surround them.

Scary part is I don't see a way out of this mess for Putin meaning things are going to get far worse.

He cant back down and there is no way I can think of to deescalate this fight. Putin has to win no matter what his very existence depends on it. The only way out is a Russian coup which is very unlikely when you have locked up anyone that opposes you.

Yeah, that's the plan. Or was a plan. Getting all confused now with all that Russian propaganda: the past changes so quickly you have no idea what will happen last week.

Who are the Russians going to sell it to though through Nord2?

Even if they control it, without purchasers, and IF they control a country they just destroyed with it's civilian population fleeing....who is their customer?

They might get to sell their gas again to the West. They just need to topple their government, put Putin and his lackies on trial for all the war crimes, and stop threatening the world with nukes. Yeah, it's that simple.
