Re: The War starts Putin announces "Military Operation" in Ukraine. Explosions heard in Kyiv
After the CIA started covertly supplying the Afghan mujahideen 'Stinger' missile launchers in their fight against the old Soviet Union, the Soviets were losing an average of one aircraft a day.
It completely changed the way they conducted air operations and instilled a sense of foreboding in the Soviet pilots.
It's common knowledge that the Ukrainians have in their possession a growing number of such weapons, along with potent anti-tank weapons.
Perhaps this is part of the reason why the Russians are making such slow advances, mindful of what could await them once they get in range of such weaponry.

I bet old assad is feeling a bit twitchy now. All the russian mercenaries have already been pulled out and sent to Ukraine, I bet most of the decent soldiers and kit will end up sent to Ukraine aswell. Think a few forces may rear up in Syria again, this time he won't have anyone to protect him

I'd be shocked if this convoy hasn't been attacked soon.
They are running low on fuel and food i'd like to see this convoy hit in the middle and rear first i think it's there for the taking.
Just my opinion.

I see Usyk has taken up arms to fight the Russians also…..fair play to him and the millions of other Ukrainians taking up the fight against the tyranny of evil….

Why don't you say what you really want Stan? You'd like them smashed in the guts and kicked in the arse.

Recently came across a Moscow based independent news site they don't seem to be shying away from calling it an invasion yet.
Interesting article from January on the recent talks between Russia and nato.

I think I'd probably detest the Russians if they were invading my country. Admirable bravery being shown by the Ukrainians, so sad they've been put in this situation though

Russia now admitting to 500 dead
Which means that they have lost far more

Doubt it will matter a jot to anyone who matters. Putin will just see them as cannon fodder, an acceptable cost (if he even sees their deaths as a cost).
But yeah based on these reports all we really know is that it's more than 500 and less than 5000!

Add a zero to anything they say hey. Really young Russian soldiers according to the Ukrainians who are telling them they’ve been lied too and they are all going to die….

Could probably take the figures the Russian and Ukrainians give and go down the middle.

I only just found out that Lugansk/Luhansk, the administrative centre for one of the Ukraine regions Putin has declared an independent republic, is twinned with Cardiff.
