Lucky Larry Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Seems a bit desperate considering they've only lost 31k men compared to the half a million that Russia has lost , conscripting 60 yr old disabled Ukrainian men living abroad is the very definition of barrel scraping . Meanwhile the Brits have said they will supply them with their new laser weapon by 2027 , Zelensky said they need it by a quarter past 8. That peace deal from a few months ago won't be quite as good next time round and would have saved tens of thousands of lives but YAY HIMARS eh chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia Delivers Major Blow to Ukraine by Destroying Kiev’s Biggest Power Plant Posted on April 11, 2024 by Yves Smith Russia has destroyed Kyiv’s largest power plant as president Volodymyr Zelenskyy chided Ukraine’s western partners for “turning a blind eye” to his country’s need for more air defences. The Trypilska thermal power plant 50km south of Kyiv, which so far was protected by air defences, was completely destroyed in the attack, officials said. The plant provided electricity to millions of people in Kyiv, Cherkasy and Zhytomyr regions. Oleh Syniehubov, governor of Kharkiv, said 10 missiles had struck the north-eastern region, knocking out power to more than 200,000 residents. Kharkiv, which borders Russia’s Belgorod region, has been pummelled by missiles, rockets and drones in recent weeks. Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s national transmission system operator, said power substations and generation facilities were damaged and that emergency shutdown schedules were imposed in the Kharkiv region. It called on Ukrainians to limit the use of electrical appliances from 7pm to 10pm, when it predicted a shortage of electricity might occur because solar power plants, carrying much of the load after Thursday’s attack, would decrease. Some additional visuals and detail: Until now, Kyiv, the most protected air space in Ukraine was able to stop much of the incoming Russian missiles. That's no longer the case. With air defenses exhausted, Russians finally able to do what they want.

At first “geraniums” drones went into action, which, in addition to identifying current targets among the remaining Ukranian air defense systems, struck… pic.twitter.com/hTvyGVImWL The Financial Times article includes much rending of hair and garments over the failure of the US to approve additional Ukraine, which is depicted as contributing to Ukraine’s inability to defend itself. But as many commentators have pointed out, money won’t magic weapons or trained men into existence. It would take well over a year to produce the needed armaments, even before getting to the wee problem of competing demand (Israel and Europe restocking). Helmer included later in his early April post: An unofficial Moscow source comments: “For the time being, the campaign is likely to leave enough lights on in Lvov to lure the displaced easterners there, and generate all sorts of communal friction. The westward process will repeat itself until Lvov and other border areas are huge refugee camps facing a bunch of nervous Poles, Romanians, Moldovans, etc. We’ll see what happens to Euro solidarity then.” On an similar matter, Lloyd Austin prevailed on Ukraine to stop taking out Russian oil facilities. Decent people in the US will be hanging their heads in shame. The US did a deal with Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons. When it comes to doing the right thing, the US is not showing its best side at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For crying out loud the hegemaniacs in China are supplying Russia for its war on Europe 'no limits' partnership remember ? 😂 To be generous I think China a bit stuck on which is worse, Russia losing or Russia waging the war in the first place - cheap oil is one thing but large scale instability isn't good for Chinese interests. Which presumably is why you are stuck supporting and fictionalising the reasons for Putins genocidal war: because it looks bad on China in a similar vein to Netenyahu dragging the US through the mud....

Amid signs of continued military integration between the two nations, China has provided Russia with satellite imagery for military purposes, as well as microelectronics and machine tools for tanks, according to people familiar with the matter.

bumble bee Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 ... meanwhile in the UK ... Navy recruits no longer required to swim in ‘desperate’ bid to boost applications Royal Navy applicants will no longer have to prove they can swim before joining, with experts warning it is a “desperate” attempt to fix the recruitment crisis. Recruits were previously required to pass a 30-minute swim test to join the Navy, with the ability to swim being a basic-level entry requirement for the force. But since a drastic fall in applications was reported last year, the Navy has sought to remove barriers to entry to encourage a wider pool of recruits. UK defence secretary Grant Shapps claimed in February the situation was improving, with applications now at an eight-year high. The move to eradicate the need to pass a basic swimming test, however, has been described as a step too far and a “true sign of desperation” on the part of the recruiters. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/royal-navy-swim-test-defence-b2527614.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremlin says 2022 draft document could serve as starting point for future Ukraine peace talks A draft peace agreement that Russia and Ukraine negotiated in the early days of the conflict could serve as a starting point for talks to end the fighting, the Kremlin said Friday, reviving a proposal that Ukraine had rejected. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that the draft document that was discussed in Istanbul in March 2022 could be “the basis for starting negotiations.” At the same time, he noted that the possible future talks would need to take into account the “new realities.” “There have been many changes since then, new entities have been included in our constitution,” Peskov said in a conference call with reporters. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kremlin-2022-draft-document-serve-starting-point-future-109160525 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm I mentioned I'm ex military and first went to being an analyst then onto the financial services industry... as a technical side not trader you wally.. many times on this forum. Not sure why that is relevant or why that is relevant. The rest of your post is the usual wibble. I mean the latest war in Ukraine started when your boy Putin rolled in to Ukraine after years of nicking bits and trying to destabilise it. You have cheered that on all day long so I think you'll find its you who wanted this war and you who are the warmonger. Also I have made precisely £0 from Ukraine in fact donated money to Ukraine aid charities and to help refugees in this country, so Ukraine has cost me money.

Awww you need me to be on the state payroll because I can point out you are often wrong Zug. Nope this is not China you get picked up on your frequent drivel for free as nobody is paid to monitor you - it would be a definite waste of taxpayers money. Never made the claims you make because again you are the forum wibble merchant and hypocritical liar. What you did frequently is copy paste large sections of IHL and then when you had it explained to you what it said and meant you would shout 'Genocide' and then repeat this process, often misrepesenting IHL. Just like you shouted about Israeli Occupation Forces - not realising that calling it an occupation force would give Israel even more get outs legally and is incredibly dim. Or the fact I have repeatedly said IDF forces have undoubtedly committed war crimes and need holding to account, even before 7th October but again hard of thinking people like you can't grasp that simple thing. Same as you have woeful understanding of many things you profess to be knowedgable of - IHL being one amongst many Its because you are a complete agreement or nothing ogmatic rant merchant who follows party lines or screams traitor and burn the heretic. Funnily enough you are the only person out of us who has repeatedly called for and cheered the commission war crimes.
