Don't be so quick to dismiss their claims.Ghost of Kiev draws another star after shooting down 4837-th Russian plane
Edit: No OSINT confirmation, neither by Russian sources.
yeah and that's why NATO gained two new members. That shows that NATO is weakened.
need I remind you that Ukraine is NOT NATO member yet. I'd say due to war in Ukraine NATO has become more stronger than ever. Before Europeans were like "do we really NEED NATO anymore?" And this war PROVED that NATO is really needed.The argument that it's weakening NATO is presumably about the war depleting ammunition stocks
It really doesn't matter what Putin says to his people. A beggar may convince his family that being poor is good but it doesn't protect them from reality of being... well poor.In my understanding, Putin convinced Russians that they dont need Europeans and becoming Chinese pawn is the "great leap forward".
Russia is the wealthiest country in the world, it has more resources than Europe and China.It really doesn't matter what Putin says to his people. A beggar may convince his family that being poor is good but it doesn't protect them from reality of being... well poor.
MOSCOW, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Russia has announced a six-month ban on gasoline exports from March 1 to guarantee enough fuel to satisfy domestic demand ahead of planned maintenance work on refineries.
Great success!
They are smuggling so much, they have lost track of ways gasoline in Russia is leaving, meaning domestic shortages. We'll see if this measure stops the outflow sufficiently to stem this and secure supply inside Russia. Someone is getting rich on this, but it is not the average Russian citizen, and while it probably benefits Kremlin, it likely benefits others – middlemen and fixers – more (they are driving this, fixing and hustling, and while helpful towards Moscow they don't necessarily follow orders). So, if it doesn't work, and the outflow is still greater than domestic demand, then the Russian government has effectively lost control... That is not expected though. Worth watching for the future still.The way it is going, the maintenance will be done by Ukrainian drones.

No wonder...According to the New Republic, he is identified as a libertarian.
Why do we care what minority wants?And today's reports suggest more GOP senators are jumping aboard the "peace train".
GOP senators signal that only way out of Ukraine-Russia war likely is ‘negotiated settlement’
"The reality at this point that we have to confront is that that war ends with a negotiated settlement," said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "And the question is — when they finally figured that out — when we finally get to that point, who has more leverage — [Russian President Vladimir] Putin or Ukraine?”
I wonder who really has more leverage now?
The side retreating, with a President who is going all in on borrowed money, or the side with the larger military, nukes and resources that Europe needs? Still, any talk that leads to an immediate cessations of hostilities is for the best.
Sorry, war supporters, I know it's not a view you like. Those game-changing F16's are on their way, any day now, to provide air cover for the tanks and artillery that are on their way, any day now.
