A few years old (2018) a good but brief history lesson on Ukraine and Russia. All the more reason to “Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war” to defend Ukraine IMO.

AHEM! Isn't that pißed off? but at least the 'worm begins turning' toward substantial allegations of war crimes. The primary umbrella charge will be waging aggreßive warfare with subsidiary human shield abuses and murder of non-military citizens. Ideally I'd like to see him not sleeping in his own dacha 'cause he's on the run, or in his cell in the Hague ... as happened to Serbia's Slobodan Milošević.

Just found out that Kherson has been cut off and surrounded. A co-worker is from there, and has lost all contact with his family. I had heard about the blockade of Kherson on the Russian news a few days ago.

Opposition to Putin's war is alive on Moscow's streets. But no trace of it is covered on Russian TV

I hear there are also some on Ukraine's streets, without gas

"[...] official said a miles-long armoured column bearing down on the capital Kyiv had not made any advances in the past 24 hours, frozen in place by logistics problems, short on fuel and food, and perhaps pausing to reassess tactics."

GFD why are they not attacked

Russia bombards Ukraine urban areas as armed convoy stalls

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...es-2022-03-01/

"Thanks to recent advances in technology – including commercial satellite imagery and viral videos circulated on social media – Putin’s brazen assault on Ukraine has become one of the most documented cases of war crimes in history."

The way the ukrainian civilians are stopping the russians, by crowding them, taunting, making human roadblocks, and demonstrations is really awe-inspiring.


Old women, men, children.. They show incredible courage in face of sheer terror.

The mechanized battalion of one of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the battle near Kharkiv captured 6 (six) new Russian T-80BVM tanks from the 200th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.

About it writes on his page in the social network Facebook editor-in-chief Censor.NET Yuri Butusov.

According to him, the Russian brigade is commanded by Colonel Denis Kurylo.

"But he did not have long to command, on his YouTube channel I will reveal the circumstances of his shameful escape and the defeat of two BTGR of the 200th brigade with one, I emphasize, one battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the BMP-2 and with one Javelin ATGM). The combatant of this battalion, by his skillful actions in the oncoming battle, earned the title of Hero of Ukraine. The combatant took everything from the tanks, and soon a freelance tank company will appear as part of our battalion on new Russian equipment with minimal mileage. The tank is voracious for fuel, but our soldiers also seized a fuel tanker," Butusov wrote.

The tanks are armed with the latest Russian sub-caliber and guided projectiles, it will be very pleasant to use this on the remnants of the same 200th brigade.

^ If ukrainian defense acts now against the stalled convoy they will be able to destroy a lot more of hardware

Ukrainian Citizens Fight Off Russians In the Streets





I say it again: Stop Putin with nuclear weapons. This is the only language he and Lavrov understand.
There are reports that Putin and his family have moved to a secret nuclear warhead-proof bunker in Siberia.
I doubt that though, he will of course continue to personally and heroically lead his troops against Kiev. [/sarcasm]
