Oh well according to your 'lists' the Ukrainians are winning and it's all good. Those pesky barbaric Russians are only targeting civilians and being beaten back by the invisible Ukrainian army. They must be invisible because they don't seem to be having any casualties.

Take your bs somewhere else. There is nothing from stopping you or anyone else from posting your sources.

Also the Russians are the barbaric no talent ass clown bad guys since they are the ones who invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia.

Chat to me about sovereign nations when the Bush admin are in the Hague. If only bleeding hearts could kill lol..

An excellent overview of the early days of the fighting in Ukraine: The Russian Army's strange and inflexible approach to logistics are exposed by people with smartphone cameras and social media accounts. Of course, the supply on demand or fixed schedule approaches depend upon securing supply lines.

Strategically, logistical/supply and command and control systems are primary targets.

Nice try at deflecting. We arent talking about Bush. We are discussing Russia and their barbaric invasion of Ukraine. Either stay on topic or go start your own thread and discuss Bush and the Hague there.

* - In Arkhangelsk Russian police detaining families for rallying against the war in Ukraine (Twitter video / safe)

* - People gathering in Moscow for the rally against war in Ukraine, already a lot of detained (Twitter video / safe)

* - Parents grieve over toddler killed by shrapnel hours before 'ceasefire' intended to let them evacuate - which Putin's troops ignored anyway: Civilians attempting to escape Mariupol are forced back by shelling as Russians break pledge

The barbarity of Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine was laid bare again today after distressing images emerged of doctors frantically trying to save a baby boy killed by Russian shelling as Mariupol comes under intense bombardment by Kremlin forces.

Photos show Kirill's devastated mother Marina Yatsko and her boyfriend Fedor grieving as they embrace his lifeless body laid out on a stretcher in a hospital in the besieged city.

Later, a traumatised medical worker is seen sitting on the hospital floor looking shocked and bereft after failing to save the 18-month-old.

Some doctors relied on light filtering in through windows and emitted from cellphones to tend to wounded Ukrainian soldiers in Mariupol, where a promised cease-fire collapsed.

Under normal conditions, i would agree that a contrarian should be welcome.

But i will agree, that counter-views are pretty unwelcome....its like having a counter-view about Hitler, which should be equally as unwelcome.

However, i do want to point out that the sentiment is not "DOWN RUSSIA", the viewpoint is DOWN PUTIN. The Russian people are great (mostly).

Why would any leader of a country under siege, who is in the situation Zelensky's in, where he's having to rally his CIVILIANS to arms against an orc horde, publish casualty numbers on his defending army? WHY? THINK!

Video of the bombing of Vinnytsia airport.
