Russia's problems with training, and keeping hold of, military pilots.

and yet Russia blames Ukraine, the UK, and the Netherlands for their own goals?

They may as well blame everyone else for Russia's lack of moral integrity. After their own missiles strike their own people, Russia sees no hypocrisy in running whining to the UN about how unfair it is for Russia to be getting strikes that include missiles fired by Russia against their neighbor, targetted at Ukrainian civilian centers, but which go awry due to the incompetence of Russias military. That follows a day after firing off 150+ missiles and drones deliberately targeted at Ukrainian civilians. Hard to see Russia making a more embarrassing bleat to the UN, a body that Russia abuses its charter obligations every day.

Russia; an embarrassment in progress.

A cool plan.

WTF would you, I truly wish this individual a slow death for doing this. Beware Graphic, link only.

I've killed mice but I've never tortured one. What sick individual would do such a thing?

up to 3 days ago Russia had fired 7,400 missiles and shaheed's etc at Ukraine, almost all of those were against civilian targets. That Russia has shot itself yesterday and previously while doing this is no surprise.

"Russia" is a metaphor for

• war crimes
• brutality
• stupidity
• arrogance
• incompetence

This in from Reuters. Happy New Year. Not quite the fireworks some folks were expecting, I guess.

Mr. Chair,

It is quite eye-opening to learn about a history of “Maidan” from the Russian point of view. At the same time, for most of us here and the world, it is quite obvious that this is another attempt to defame and criticize Ukraine and the West, thereby distracting world’s attention from what is going on right now in Ukrainian territories – disastrous humanitarian situation due to Russia’s aggression – as well as justifying the brutal aggression against a sovereign state. We arefed up with Russia calling so many Security Council meetings including Arria-formula meetings to this end. Do we, the Council Members and UN Member States, really deserve this? Despite all the efforts by Russia, no reasonable person would believe its narrative. Such misuse of the prerogative of a Council member would rather be self destructive, further damaging its reputation. It is sad for everybody.

The concept note of this event emphasizes the importance of a truthful account of events and avoiding misinterpretation.

There is no room for misinterpretation for one thing. As the overwhelming majority of the General Assembly have recognized, the fact is that this heinous war of aggression was started by Russia. And Ukraine is fighting against it in accordance with the UN Charter to protect its own people, independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. The sole cause of the current suffering of the Ukrainian people, especially in winter, is Russia's aggression, which is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter. Nothing more, nothing less.

It has also withdrawn from the Black Sea Grain Initiative and destroyed port facilities to deliver food abroad, affecting not only Ukraine but the entire world.

Mr. Chair,

We once again urge the Russian Federation not to squander our precious time and resources for your political purposes. Russia should direct its diplomatic energy toward correcting its own violation of the UN Charter.

We remain steadfast in upholding and strengthening the free and open international order based on the rule of law, respecting the UN Charter. There must be no impunity for war crimes and other atrocities. Justice must be done, and those who are responsible for the undeniable atrocities must be held accountable.

Last but not least, our commitment to supporting Ukraine will never waver. We have been with Ukraine, and will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.

I thank you.

Further to the mouse, It says a lot for the courage, not to mention the morality, of the Russian soldier. The brave warrior will only hit a mouse if it's tied hand and foot.

And they expect to defeat this spirit, GIVE THEM everything they need and remove the” in Ukraine use only ”, after all Russia is using weapons from other countries in Ukraine.

At around midnight the "Donbass Palace" hotel in Donetsk was shelled. The hotel is used by senior Russian military and “military corespondents”..

The attack is reported to resulted in the deaths of an unknown number of casualties, but the propagandist Sladkov has said these include at least 4 correspondents.

The full list of losses will be classified but we're most likely to start to find out numbers soon.

Happy New Year.

For once, excellent work by the ruskis. Roman Shukhevych was the far right fascist leader who ordered (and participated in) the genocide of about a hundred thousand polish civilians in Galicia and Volhynia.
