Is not relying on one big station far too vulnerable? One good missile and you are bereft. Distributed networks, however clumsy, are far harder to destroy.

That's the only meaningful reassurance any Russian administration could give that there won't be a rematch. Without that (and I'm not sure it's achievable) I think we're heading for another uneasy standoff...
Until then, there is always |

Arresting a couple of Russian soldiers that refuse to take part in the war, watch the film, the cell door in the back of the van has holes in it to allow air in for them to breath, but the outer door has none.. :ugh:

Nothing like treating your troops well, and this is nothing like treating them well.

THE DUMP OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER:
Searchers in Kherson have discovered that departing Russians used a local landfill to dump and burn the corpses of their own dead soldiers. Some were burned, others merely buried in trash. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...son-landfillIn https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....16f52d9e9.jpeg |
NATO Parliamentary Assembly now recognizes Russia as terrorist state. All 30 #NATO countries #supported the proposals of the delegation. NATO call for setting up a special tribunal for Russian warcrimes.

Nice to see the responses to my query about generators. Seems a lot are going out. Of course they can't replace a power station, but if the hospitals and the vulnerable can be helped through the winter it's a huge bonus.

Sometimes it was a lot for example after the large strike at the airport that resulted in 200 Russian KIA. As she said at the time "morgues are filled to the fullest ..many body fragments. all this **** they burn" |
Note the bit at the end about medics and engineers - British troops being deployed to Ukraine - something not picked up and reported elsewhere..
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2228763.html Power boss asks Ukrainians to leave the country to ease burden on damaged energy network Citizens of Ukraine have been advised to leave the country – if they can – to help reduce demand on the energy network. Ukrainians should consider leaving for “three to four months” as it “will be very helpful to the system”, Maxim Timchenko, the head of Ukraine’s biggest private energy supplier, has said.…. Mr Timchenko suggested that people reducing their energy use would help Ukraine win the war. He said: “If you consume less, then hospitals with injured soldiers will have guaranteed power supply. This is how it can be explained that, by consuming less or leaving, they also contribute to other people.” Fixing the damaged infrastructure is also becoming more difficult as Ukraine has run out of equipment and spare parts. Mr Timchenko called on “partners, government officials, companies and equipment producers to help with the immediate supply of available equipment”…. Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak has visited Ukraine to meet Volodymyr Zelensky, as he announced a new £50m package of air defence support for the country.… Mr Sunak said: “We are today providing new air defence, including anti-aircraft guns, radar and anti-drone equipment, and stepping up humanitarian support for the cold, hard winter ahead….. Downing Street said the funding would help provide generators, shelter, water repairs and mobile health clinics, with the UK also sending tens of thousands of extreme-cold winter kits for Ukrainian troops.…. It follows the announcement by defence secretary Ben Wallace earlier this month that more than 1,000 new anti-air missiles would be provided to Ukraine. The UK is also planning to send army medics and engineers.…. |

That is without doubt not actually for real. Just a little internal propaganda to scare the conscripts.

:confused:
Russian soldier claims there is an evacuation happening in Armiansk, Crimea. In another audio message later, he says they escorted 4 columns. And then also adds that "you will see on 28 [presumably November 28th]. |
