Interesting to see that the remaining Russian troops used 'small craft' to leave the island, presumably because anything big would have attracted the attention of Ukrainian ASM forces? On a side note I noticed in one of the latest US aid listings a load of boats, I did wonder if they were related to the Island as they say they can be used in close costal waters https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/us...160016510.html film of them clobbering the island, they also took out a small boat used in the evacuation apparently Pictures of what was hit and the 5 rescue boats used at the dock. |
I fear I may be heading on the wrong path towards peace as recent statements from Dr. Kissinger are congruent to what I have said .
Interesting that very little of what he has said has been reported by Fleet Street papers . Mercy unto the Merciful |
Not sure what we're looking at hear, or whether it relates to the Kerch bridge:
|
This is the bridge, The Russians are using smoke producing trucks to simulate attacks by Ukraine, allowing smoke to drift across the bridge. From other sources it would appear that this is some kind of tear smoke which irritates the eyes, I would expect other non-lethal actions to compliment the exercise. Not only for retreating from Ukraine mainland but also from Crimea in the event of it being overrun.

Have to admit that you really are a top-level apologist - hope your remuneration reflects this. Even in this innocuous-looking sentence you seek to insert your propaganda. Where do you get the figure of 30 000 Ukrainian KIA ? Isn't it a basic military tenet that attackers are going to suffer much greater losses when attacking an enemy who has had time to prepare defences - this presumably being even more pronounced with unseasoned conscripts.? Or did you perhaps include the 600 children from the Mariupol theatre in this count ?

The UN data is what seems most solid for civilian deaths
OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Izium (Kharkiv region), Popasna, Lysychansk, and Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties. |

Once again you attempt to apply a heavy slant to matters. As said by Nutty, the heavy artillery bombardment over a wide front is recent - only been happening for 25% (?) of the war: even when Mariupol was being reduced to rubble, the numbers of Ukranians killed would have been far less because of protection by the destroyed buildings.
The Ukrainian prohibition on men between 18 and 60 from leaving the country also indicates that manpower is in short supply. |
That is just sensible. Why would you let your male population leave? It's not just military that no doubt requires them, but the whole Countries infrastructure, construction, engineering etc.

Air Power had a lot to do with that too. Russia has never managed to rule the air over Ukraine.

I know nothing about the Russian legal/military system, but needing to pass new laws to repair damaged equipment ? Even if this was legally the case I would have expected Putin to ignore it. |
