Russia-Ukraine war and related tensions Megathread

[It’s so Joever]

Alright I think we have a couple more days to get in troops, if we don’t make the decision by then…Russia will annex all of Ukraine and do unspeakable things to its people.

Looks like European resolve didn’t even last 24 hours.

Hungary will not allow lethal weapons for Ukraine to transit its territory - FM

PRISTINA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Hungary will not send troops or weapons to Ukraine and will not allow lethal weapons to transit its territory in order to keep the country safe, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday during a visit to Kosovo.

First crack in the European coalition. Ukraine and Putin will now be an important issue in the upcoming elections in Hungary.

F__ck Hungary and f__k Orban too.

Then Putin should stop what he's doing. His invasion is only emboldening groups like them.

New updates on the frontlines: Enerhodar is now under attack and the Russians have made it back to Mykolaiv.

The surrounding of the troops near Ukraine continues to become more possible as the Russians reach Volnovhaka.

Russian troops have also reached Rubizhne and I’m guessing the Ukrainian forces are falling back to avoid being flanked. Kupiansk has fallen.

Although Ukrainians are making a valiant effort, without Western troops, the initial successes enjoyed are starting to be overwhelmed by simple numerical advantages for the Russians.

First Chechens, now Dagestanis (I guess the Russians use a one size fits all helmet lol):

Europe deserves invasion at this point. I’m saying it here. So does the US tbh.

Do you ever think before you post? This entire thread is filled up with your excessive dooming and hyperbolic rhetoric. Some of us are trying to read useful information rather than someone’s every useless thought on the matter.

But how do you clean up these sort of Groups? Zelensky is apparently unwilling to show these radical Miliz their Doors!

Should Russia invade the United States to "clean up" American neo-Nazi groups?

I think the best case scenario for these talks is pretty much status quo ante bellum with the LPR keeping some of its gains and the North Crimean Canal remaining unobstructed.

Overall, the best case scenario for Ukraine is to hold out long enough and hope that Putin's regime collapses and in the chaos, the Ukrainians are able to retake their entire country (including Crimea). The best case scenario for Russia is collapse of the Ukrainian government and taking complete military control of the country while remaining an international pariah and dealing with a bloody insurgency. Seems to me like the Russians' best case scenario really isn't that great...

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

Again,
1) He has a private army of Neo-Nazis that he’s sent into, among other places, Ukraine pre-invasion
2) Putin has created a civil war in Ukraine by sending these dudes to link up with terrorists in east Ukraine to create those ‘Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics’

I’ll listen to his concerns when this POS is in The Hague.

Here is the Wikipedia Article on the Azov Battalion:

Video from reddit that shows a Belarusian column near Kobryn in the southwestern corner of Belarus, which is 24 miles from the border with Ukraine. Ominously, the vehicles are marked with red squares. Notably there are only a few armored vehicles, and those being lightly protected humvee-like vehicles.

Lol, it says right there that the battalion is majority Russian.

[Storebought]

But it's not 'dooming' to say that with each passing hour, Ukraine loses more and more territory even to an overstreched and not-all-that-enthusiastic opponent.

Russia is adhering to that old 18th century doctrine of uti possidetis -- the more territory Russia controls under foot the more they can claim than just besides Donbas.

Can't find that for some reason

Congratulations, you’re just as terrible as the pro-Putin shills. Go away. Log off. Seek help. Everyone is tired of your nonsense clogging up this series thread.
