Careful with the African jokes, if this Russia Nato thing escalates its might be one of the few areas left habitable for humans and they will slap you if you talk like that there.
He logged off the university computer pretty darn quick...
"I still live in County Durham though"

You give a lot away not knowing the basic layout of the area. Mariupole is just down the road from the Russian border. Same with Luhansk which is being claimed as a major advance. It was already in the separatists area and next to the Russian border. Indeed, if you look at how the Russian border naturally encircles the Donbas region, the question perhaps that needs to asked is how the hell has Russia failed to take the region already and why is it losing so much manpower and hardware for an area largely taken by separatists to begin with.
It is clear the Kremlin propaganda over the latter part if last week gave the likes of the BBC to start promoting the idea if defeat and again try and push Ukraine and Zelensky into contemplating giving up but the actual situation on the ground isn't quite resembling the spin. If anything the lack of progress indicates a thumping great defeat is on the cards in the next day or two.
How long before the generals throw in the towel?
Kodo what you write is hilarious. Russia is already being pushed back and that is without the big weapons. Russia is just slaughtering its own army to move forward at all costs because if it fails to get Donbas its finished.
The great Russian army cant capture the military equivalent of Staffordshire LOL. 50 year old tanks out of storage because its lost so much, prototype weapons on the front lines. Bribing soliders to go fight who then end up dead. Blacksea fleet has run off after half it being sunk. Airforce getting shotdown every day. hundreds of tanks wrecked trying to cross a river.
I bet over the next 2 weeks the advance totally stalls. They lost momentum yesterday. There is a massive river and high ground the otherside they will never be able to take. This is Russias last push before its rendered totally combat ineffective. Just as new reserves are drafted in with heavy NATO weapons, new tanks and more artillery. Just wait until someone agrees to give them 300 mile rank missiles to hit deep into Russian supply lines.
Russia is just a pathetic loser bully of a country and army which couldnt take on any serious military. Ive never seen such terrible tactics and performance in the history of war. The Russian stockpile is depleted this is the last war Russia will ever fight. They cannot recover after this. They are finished.

Logistics story popping up all over the place on editorially controlled sites. Also looks like the small advances are not quite being used as an exit point for the west support, quite the opposite in fact. I am expecting to hear Russian forces pushed back on some fronts this weekend. There is an issue with river crossings and Russian forces are still failing to get pontoon bridges established.

A useful summary to read
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/05/28/7349070/
Didn't take long, logistics and supply lines to Donbas faltering. Reading around various reports, the hamlets and villages claimed as territory gained have been completely destroyed. This is liberation? Also, I note a number of reports talking about gains in the 'separatist held' areas. So to some extent the gains are actually moving on land already claimed. And what do the separatists think of their houses and villages being totally destroyed when they had de facto control to begin with?
The attrition rate is being reported as very high indeed for the Russians as well as for Ukraine.
With Russian neonazis and anti-war activists attacking behind Russian lines, signs of the supply lines running dry and an absolute slaughter of WWI proportions going on on the front line, I repeat my same question as over the last two weeks, how long before the Russian generals call it and stop the senseless killing of Russians and throw the towel in? We heard a very similar plea in public from some political committee or some such in the east (where a lot of the dead come from) and this will inevitably spread as the truth and extent of the slaughter continues. What I was saying here, dismissed by many, repeated by Russian politicians in public.
Kodo, Wont be long till your banned.
Russia has ploughed 50% of its force in to one tiny area of the Donbas and it STILL is getting slaughtered. Fake news central the pedos on the Russian YT channels claimed Severo was cut off which is totally false. They tried to take 1 of 2 roads in to Severo and got killed. The losses for every mile they move forward are staggering. Both men and equipment losses are insane. The Russians have 50k troops there and there are so many of them you can fire a shell anywhere and kill some Russians. They have lost so much combat force they will never hold this land.
NATO MLRS are now incoming and more heavy weapons are coming. If Russia is having this many problems now then they are screwed as time goes on.
" Is the Azov battalion really creating a modern Hitler Youth organisation, or is it trying to prepare young Ukrainians for the tough reality that awaits them?"
He should read his own posts. He thinks he is posting proof positive (BBC news, huh) that there was some mass movement qualifying Putin. There is a far bigger extreme right in Russia and every country has extreme elements, especially when defined from institutions like the BBC who love to big up perceived threats to the left.
But note the quote, " or is it trying to prepare young Ukrainians for the tough reality that awaits them?" So how did history play out? Perhaps the coalescence reported of people migrating to such groups was in response to the growing threat as expressed through separatists groups and history has proven, they were right to be afraid. Putin proved their fears corect.
@Kodo normal sane people always lose it during wars but they will rebound during peace time, just like the Poly SP.
Whats this got to do with Poly ...
Wholly, There are some knobs on this site but you take the biscuit
Filterd ..
Glypo.
The best fun ive had all week is reading the delusional comments about Russia on that god awful backward inbred blog you just linked. They are utterly delusional. The whole article failed to mention the invasion of Crimea and the mercs that flooded donbas. Blaming trump in 2016 for arming Ukraine. ROFL. ERR HELLO INVASION OF CRIMEA.
They keep moaning about 30 million dead Russians in WW2 Well blame stalin for that who sided with Hitler and then sent 30m of his own people to their death needlessly for worthless dirt and cities of no value. Then after ww2 starved 100m more of his own people to keep power.
Im amazed how utterly stupid the comments are on that blog
One has to take the NATO argument back to the promises made to Russia in the 1990s but not on paper …. But either way … there was mo excuse to invade Ukraine as there was no excuse to invade Afghanistan or Iraq.
There lies the problem …. and while two wrongs don’t make a right … we cannot judge in the UK given our hanging on to US coat tails.
"Yet NATO (USA) isn't satisfied with that.
It advances and places bases closer and closer to Russia."
Nato does not advance anything. Countries close to Russia see Russia's behaviour and aggression and decide they would rather side with nato.
Were they right to do so?
Well, hell YEAH! The completely unwarranted war with Ukraine that had no nato bases or weapons was invaded by Russia.
It's no bluddy wonder other countries joined nato and now more are fast tracking to join as quick as they can.
Nato as actually slowly winding down, Trump remember complaining about lack of commitment.
This is a ridiculous excuse for invading Ukraine saying it was nato's fault. You are making an absolute laughing stock of yourself coming out with things like that.
Nick, my last word is that you can make deals and agree to be a defence group, where you'll defend them if they're attacked.
Yet NATO (USA) isn't satisfied with that.
It advances and places bases closer and closer to Russia.
That is not defence, even if you believe that BS.
It's threatening and you're dead right Russia feels unsettled by it!
In fact it's a bloody laughable position.
It's almost like Plaid Cymru or the SNP saying "oh, it's only a defence thing" when they team up with Russia.
It doesn't wash with me, I'm afraid.
And I'm sure that there are quite a few states in the US that feel they've been invaded too.
It's just a matter of how far you want to go back.
But whatever, yes, GL with your investment too.
This will be sorted and it will come good.
Hi Annon
I’m very glad you’ve openly stated your opinion and thoughts. II know many of the people I talked to in St Pete had the same opinion and I was generally of that opinion until I talked to people from Lithuania and Latvia. I’ve not spoken to a group of Estonian people so I cant have an opinion on that. The people from Lithuania and Latvia have many Russian citizens who used to control Nuclear power stations, the government, etc. They are very happy for these people and in some ways miss being part of the USSR. However, it does/did cause them worries when VP was walking into other countries like Georgia, etc so they HAD to join NATO to keep their independence.
NATO does not attack, it’s a defence group so there should be NO worries for the Russians.
Today wars are all missiles etc so 200 yds or 1,000 miles makes little difference. Russia just proved that!
I do agree on it unsettles Russia and may not have been the best move but after WWII when USSR would not give the countries back to their home governments what else can they do.
GL with your investment and let us talk POLY, not war. I just don’t like people putting their ideas and not being truthful about why!
IMHO, DYOR & GLA
Quite frankly nick I'm interested in my investment...
Protest at no 10
Cheers..
There are too many PIs holding at the moment for the price to go anywhere
Nick, I assume that's aimed at me as well as others?
When will you realise that while there may be Putin supporters on here, it's not all of those who seem pro Russia to you and some try to speak the truth as they see it, from a neutral pov?
I have different opinions to FA, but it's plain to see he's looking at this with a pragmatic viewpoint, that's all.
Whoever said about Russia being corrupt, I'll say they definitely are.
But then, I'd say our government is equally as corrupt.
£39 billion on the track and trace app?
Yet it's all been glossed over instead of people getting 20 years, imo.
I'd love to see any government in the world that isn't corrupt.
I'll even name the one that's the worst.
The USA.
You want to know where my loyalties are?
That's easy. They are not in any way with Russia.
But then again, they are not with Ukraine either.
Why should they be?
I have no link with either, whatsoever.
This is what we've seen for days - really solid buys with no reaction to the SP.
