Ukraine invasion







 


 
Not long to wait now for the Ukrainian spring counter offensive. Russia has made zero progress over the winter. Ukraine has done a marvelous job of fixing the Russian troops cannon fodder around Bakhmut. It's as if they have been invited into the meat grinder. Whooda thunk it !

MARK ALMOND: The new Cold War will make Putin's Ukraine invasion look like a sideshow. As China puts its economy on a war footing, today's submarine deal is only the start of what the West must do
 
Saudi oil giant made a record £134BILLION in profit last year after Ukraine crisis sent energy prices sky high
  • Oil giant Saudi Aramco reported a record £134billion profit within the last year
  • Profits follows energy prices rising after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022
  • Sky-high prices have been the main contributor to a global cost of living crisis
 
What happens when Ukraine has no more ammunition .. ;)





 
The deadly thermite bombs Putin is using to bring hell to Ukraine: How destructive missiles spread burning payload over wide areas and disintegrate victims' flesh
  • Video from the weekend showed incendiary munitions raining down on Vuhledar
  • Use of such weapons against civilian targets is considered a war crime
 
Moment Ukrainian troops storm across no man's land firing assault rifles as Kyiv inflicts 'significant losses' on Russian forces with hundreds more killed in battle of Bakhmut
  • Russia and Ukraine remain locked in a battle for the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk
  • Wagner Group mercenaries struggling to break tide of Ukrainian resistance

edit:

- Bakhmut continues to be encircled by Russian forces;
- The Western media is reporting conflicting claims by Ukraine and Russia regarding steep losses inflicted on opposing sides;
- The West claims Ukraine is inflicting huge losses on Russian forces and that Bakhmut has little strategic value;
- The Western media, however, also admits Ukraine is outgunned between 3:1 to 4:1 in terms of artillery and despite claims that Russia has lost 20,000-30,000 troops around Bakhmut alone, the BBC’s own project verifying Russian losses says as of March 2023 Russia’s 1 year total losses stand at 16,000;
- A counteroffensive by Ukraine may lead to temporary gains, just as in Aleppo, Syria in 2016, however the fundamentals leading to Bakhmut’s encirclement have not been addressed, therefore any gains risk being reversed;
- A Ukrainian counteroffensive on any major scale will divert troops meant for Kiev’s spring offensive, diminishing the combat potential of other upcoming offensives;
- Poland’s military build-up is being hyped by the Western media, however Polish ambitions would see the creation of a military force roughly the size of Ukraine’s military at the beginning of 2022;
- Poland’s build-up will take years to complete;

Good to see that Poland is taking it's defense seriously. They have first hand knowledge of what it's like to be invaded by Russians.

They had to learn to live with that during the Soviet times.

And they did not forget the Bandera crimes during WW II.
