To be fair that convoy looks like a sitting duck. Even 100 yr old artillery would do it some major damage so surprised it seems to be inching closer and closer to kiev esp when the ukranians have taken out a number of smaller convoys very successfully

Its quite clear that Russia have made a complete f**king mess of this so far. They will eventually prevail but at what cost and when i say prevail ie install a puppet leader who will have no control over the population so a big waste of time.

A lot of racism directed at those fleeing across the border with Poland.
Ukrainians first, everyone else after and blacks last.

I was reading the blacks last thing there - shocking.

There is a real information war at play here. It's hard to know what to believe any more. I am not convinced Russia are making the progress they want but the reality is it is only a matter of time.

So from what I gather today:

- Ukrainian drones are doing a serious number on Russian armour. If they can get more bombs and missiles for their TB2s; that big column (or rather, column of columns - its nothing like a continuous 40 miles) approaching Kyev could arrive in a bit of a shambles.

- Russia do not have air superiority and are now tending to operate more at night.

- Ukraine are now going to be receiving full satellite support from the EU, potentially others; giving them a major real-time information boost. This will include satellite radar feeds; somewhat countering the Russian move toward the cover of darkness.

- Russia appear to have used at least one thermobaric bomb; there is a twitter video of it going off; the blast is fairly identifiable.

- Russian state of logistics is a big unknown, apparently numerous tanks etc already ran out of fuel. No doubt others will be restricted in their maneouvres due to fuel concerns. If the Ukrainians can choke off enough of the logistical train, they'll win.

These statements after two of Russias biggest bombings from the air during the day???

If he went onto Estonia who would challenge him, it would be another Ukraine.
Are they not in NATO?

And ... you honestly think the yanks or the Brits are going go after him if he strays into Estonia?
What message does that send to the other smaller countries in NATO if the Brits/Americans abandon Estonia or some other Nato member? Hard to know if Putin would have the balls to call NATO's bluff by attacking a member. The thing could totally spiral very quickly as soon as he does. Moldova a likely next target as they aren't in NATO.

I'd say the right wing extremist gobsh1tes in Government in Hungary and Poland are now happy to be in the EU !

I doubt there will be much happening in Russia for now as all focus is on defending Ukraine but once Russia have a 'puppet' in control I would expect all sorts of guerilla attacks in Ukraine and Russia. Russia has millions of Ukrainians living there. It could get very messy which makes you think Putin has put zero thought into this.
