I see. So in Thailand it's ok to hold a knife to a woman's throat, as long as she's your wife! Pathetic all round.

No it is not alright in my book. You need to learn to read before you post.

Boy, 15, is hailed a 'hero of Ukraine' after using his toy drone to pinpoint an advancing Russian convoy

Authorities approached Pokrasa as they knew he had purchased a consumer mini-drone last year and became a highly proficient pilot, Global News reported. 

Pokrasa duly took his drone into a nearby field under cover of darkness and successfully obtained photos and GPS co-ordinates of the oncoming convoy, which his father forwarded onto Ukrainian military via social media. 

Minutes later, Ukrainian artillery rained down on the highway near Berezivka and obliterated the convoy roughly 23 miles away from Kyiv city centre.

Members of the public reportedly did not intervene because the assailant said it was "a matter between husband and wife".

A wife in school uniform???

 

In Thailand, yes.

You're confused. It was the "realists", the ones who claim that Ukrainian resistance is doomed to failure, who were in favor of that.

I think you were another poster who supported the surrender at Mariupol as well. Now trying to cover your tracks, as they say.  ????

Moral of the story, never be taken alive by the Russians. They'd be smarter trading them for captured standard Russian or Wagner soldiers.

Will probably be a lot like those show trials in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s and 40’s. Maybe the name Roland Freisler rings a bell? 

I seem to remember you guys were all in favour of these soldiers surrendering at Mariupol?  ????

The soldier on President Zelenski's left looks like he could well handle himself, right mean machine.

Don't overcomplicate it, just ask for passport if they must

 

 

They already have an expat ID card which is the pink foreigners card.

Looks like another slow down on the Russias offense

 

ISW: Russia likely not able to ‘accelerate’ its ‘special military operation,’ despite its claims.

The U.S. think tank said, contrary to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s claims, it is unlikely that Russia will have the manpower and equipment to advance beyond Luhansk.

Your Twitter post makes no sense. The Russians are already well past Luhansk as they are in Mariupol. ????

Russia-Ukraine war: what we know on day 101 of the invasion

 

Ukrainian forces have recaptured around 20% of the territory they lost in Sievierodonetsk since Russia’s invasion, according to Ukrainian officials. “Whereas before the situation was difficult, the percentage [held by Russia] was somewhere around 70%, now we have already pushed them back by approximately 20%,” Serhiy Gaidai, the head of the eastern region of Luhansk, announced on national television on Friday.

This report makes no sense! "Whereas before the situation was difficult"? is a half finished statement.

Also, why waste resources hitting the Russians head on? Why don't they hit the Russian supply lines and starve them of fuel, weapons and food?

Why not? The number of different sources reporting it make it look pretty definitive.

 

As a number of links in subsequent posts show, even official Russian sources such as Komsomolskaya Pravda and a Russian National Guard statement, say that Sgt. Adam Bisultanov was indeed "the commander of a separate operational brigade."

Indeed and they also say he is a Chechen. The Russians attacked were Rosgvardiya and the vehicle blown up was an armoured troop carrier not a tank. 

Additional information is Sgt. Adam Bisultanov was under contract to the Rosgvardiya.

I took away an entirely different message from that article. One of bravery and heroic actions by foreign fighters in very difficult conditions but still carrying on. One that even the Russian authorities noted. The ranks of people was not really something I dwelled on.

Maybe not all of us are so gullible to believe everything we read.  ????

Russia says commander killed in clash involving son of UK MP

 

Russia's National Guard says one of its brigade commanders has been killed in a battle against pro-Ukrainian forces in Donbas.

In a rare admission of a casualty sustained in fighting in Ukraine, it said the clash involved Ben Grant, the son of Helen Grant, the Conservative MP for Maidstone and The Weald.

 

Footage made using a GoPro camera showed the attack and a fighter from the group of mercenaries - the son of a British MP - Ben Grant."

Your source names Sergeant Adam Bisultanov as being killed. How can a Sergeant be a brigade commander? ????
