If you look at 00:50 seconds you will see a second warship on fire in the background.

No, they would not have arrived yet and it is not certain whether Turkey will allow them through to the Black Sea.

It was basically a speculation, that if the news from ukraine are true and the russians are surrounded in Hostomel, Irpin and Bucha , and the ukrainians

Other reports claim that if they manage to surround those Russian troops and make them surrender, that's 20.000 Russians taken out of the equation.

A lot of them were apparently part of that 40 mile convoy, so they have to be pretty exhausted and fatigued.

 

I haven't seen any reports of that yet? ????

Russian execution squads hunting demoralized deserters, defectors. If this is true, it’s truly disturbing and disgusting. Gruesome practices under Stalin in WWII are back on the menu, apparently.

What do you expect from Orcs? 

My take on sizes is this.

In the UK/USA the sizes are standard and enforced by the big clothing chains importing said items.

The Asians sizes are generally supposed to be 2 sizes smaller than the West's however there are many thousands of manufacturer's and no enforcement of sizes so they produces sizes that differ from their own Asian standard. So these could be 3 sizes smaller for example.

Then there is the big companies in China manufacturing billions of clothes. If they have too many XL size and not enough 2XL, then they just re-label them 2XL, job done! ☹️ That's my theory anyway. Unlike the Op, if I receive a size that doesn't fit, I return it straight away.

Russian Navy ship destroyed at southern port - Ukraine military

 

The Ukrainian military says a large Russian ship has been destroyed near the southern port city of Berdyansk.

In a post on Facebook, Ukraine's Navy says a large landing vessel - the "Orsk" - was hit and set ablaze in the Sea of Azov this morning.

"The Orsk large landing ship of the Black Sea Fleet of the occupiers has been destroyed in the port of Berdyansk captured by Russia," the post says.

Ukrainian media report that one Russian ship has sunk and two others are on fire, and that an ammunition depot and a fuel warehouse were hit.

Hoorah!!!  

I would like to know, with what did they hit it with?

Thanks.

I will look.

But I've found local sizes wildly different than US sizes. Like you might be a 9 XL which vendors here generally wouldn't have.

9XL !!! Christ, does the pavement crack when you walk on it? ???? (joke only )

How many kilo do you weigh?

Try here for big sizes.........

Big T-shirts

it is good news.

only heavy losses are likely to make Putin and Russia stop.

the more invaders Ukraine manages to kill, wound or make surrender, the better for Ukraine.

I agree.

It's the countries nearby to Russia, not surprisingly, that are advocating stronger NATO action for the very reason you mention.

 

It's the far away countries like the U.S. that thus far have been opposing it, understandably, out of fear direct NATO involvement could lead to some version of WWIII and nukes being deployed.

 

Hopefully, there's some way the west can DO MORE in a meaningful way that isn't likely to trigger the various nightmare scenarios.

 

 

Not just that, If there is a nuclear exchange then it will be the nuclear armed countries which will suffer first i.e. UK, France and the USA. The French will probably surrender which leaves the UK and the USA bearing the brunt of Russia's ballistic missiles. ☹️

Both Estonia and Lithuania are under NATO Clause 5.

Will that stop Russia then?

The reason so many generals are dying is because the Russian troops at the front are depleted, cold, hungry, suffering low morale and are disillusioned. The generals are having to go up to the front lines to lead their men into battle, so to speak. Then the Ukrainians shoot them dead. ????

"and they have reached out to the airline to clarify"

I have a question that is off topic but concerning wise .

I have a British pound account with wise that I opened this week while residing in Thailand .

I opened the account as i am waiting for money from a deceased estate .

Can a solicitor send money to the wise account i have opened ? 

I have no other bank accounts in the UK . 

I was asked to transfer around 1000 baht  to open the account with wise . I am not sure if I was meant to do that for a private account 

The account has a UK bank sort code and an account number so anyone can send money to it. Whether there is upper limit, I don't know.

Sure but as opposed to a soldier where then it would not be a war crime.

Most civilians, in a war zone, do not have a choice of being there.

Took 36 hours the other week for me - probably slowed down as the Russians were transferring their ill gotten gains about

That is probably because you are using the "funds for long-stay in Thailand" option.

Or you trying to do a transfer over the weekend or public holidays.

Last night my transfer took 7 seconds.

Does anyone know if the 7-Eleven app can be changed to English?

"Tomikhin stated Russia understood Thailand’s decision and that the two countries’ diplomatic ties would not be affected. He also made clear that Russia was not fighting an all-out war and that its forces were only targeting military infrastructure in Ukraine while attempting to avoid civilian casualties."
