Oh dear fancy showing the location of your ammo dump and how to close it… I wonder if they are awaiting it to be filled.

I'm curious to know where this counter offensive action which was talked about so much has gone? Can't be much happening if we're down to discussing the military effectiveness of wine cellars!

Lots of strikes - drone/cruise-missile/sabotage - happening well behind the front lines at a much greater frequency than "usual". Most linked above in different posts.

An operation into Moldova is looking more and more likely….

There are speculations about the Ukrainian Army being ready to restore Moldova’s territorial integrity by taking out the 1500 Russian soldiers stationed in Transnistria if a request comes from Moldova

Zelensky advises the Russians in Transnistria to flee if they want to live.

To where? They are surrounded.


Meanwhile the Propagandists appear to be edging away from a nuclear strike after their unbeatable hypedupsonic missiles proved to be not invincible.

Replace uniform with civvies, lose papers. abandon weapons and walk away, Even is subsequently caught, they present no threat and should be safe(ish).

This war is getting old. Someone needs to get it resolved. The Ukes have leached enough off the US and NATO.

Do you have any constructive suggestions? Or are you just worrying about the cost of freedom and International laws?
I think most of us on this Forum would like it to stop . But on what terms?

Ukraine has not leeched off anyone. Individual nations (not NATO) have offered assistance because they abhor the brutal invasion by Russian forces. Putin can resolve the conflict any time he wants by going home. Any other outcome rewards the aggressor and makes future attacks elsewhere almost certain.

There's a joke doing the rounds.
How to defeat Russia in four easy steps?
- Move a small force to a Russian city.
- Let Russian army destroy the city
- Move the force to the next city
- repeat until Moscow

I have to laugh. There are some amusing comments here on this site. When will Zelenskyy realize that the teat he's latched on to won't last? When we cut him off.
Who makes up NATO???? Surely you can figure that out...Hint: Individual countries who are in NATO...

So do please tell us how you think it should be resolved? I'm all ears.

It is impossible for UKR to win, so what now???? Let everyone die as we keep throwing money at the problem and risk escalation???
The members of NATO all have to agree another nation joining. Which nation do you propose should agree the veto with Russia? How would the people of that nation react to the that proposal?
Why do you think it is impossible for UKR to win? The longer it goes on, the more likely it is the Putin regime might fall. A Russian victory in terms of the taking and holding of Ukraine is becoming less and less likely.

DDG-37 will not be responding for a while as he is confined in the PPRuNe Brig on Bread and Water for Seven Days.

There are vacancies with open doors.
