How do you think he can be removed ?
He would never resign willingly. That apart, 56% of Germans polled agree with his refusal to deliver Taurus.

Use by Ukrainians of spikes dropped from drones to damage russian vehicles and hurt logistics. Judging by the commentary, this tactic is effective and easy to deploy.
Or even a tack trick.

Seems like the bullets are only going one way, into the building. Lots of flash bangs and guns being fired with people standing around outside, so I would suggest bullets are only going in.

It doesn't have to be HE to halt the enemy logistics.
very cheap and very efficient, doesn't harm civilians but makes life of the logistics very difficult, especially when new wheels and rims are hard to find.

The explosions in Crimea, they reckon they were going after the oil facilities at the port.

What I would say to the 5000 is if you believe it would be better, go ask those who had the same ideals as you in Mariupol, Adviivka etc what they think now that they have lived under it and possibly been raped or killed as Russia does not appear to differentiate between either side, plus those in the Donetsk “military” are used as canon fodder to protect Russian lives.

Poland border woes.

On the border with Poland, all six directions are blocked, — said Andrii Demchenko, the spokesman of the State Border Service. The biggest queue on the border between Poland and Ukraine is observed in the direction of the checkpoints "Krakivets" and "Yahodyn". In total, there are 2,400 trucks in queues in all six directions.

​​​​​​​Lithuanian customs informs that cars with russian license plates must leave Lithuania and the entire territory of the European Union by March 11, — Delfi.

Well he’s friends with Putin, perhaps he should ask him?

The presumption is Italy will be offering the system to Ukraine, where it will be of use….

Italy plans to return SAMP/T air defense system from Slovakia, - Prime Minister Robert Fico

"The previous government gave Ukraine a functioning Russian S-300 air defense system. Then we had American Patriots here for a moment, but they left, and now the Italians will leave. And I ask, God, who will protect our nuclear power plants and other strategic targets?"
Fico said.
