Not only landing ships according to the article. Also some Slava class cruise ship and that's definitely not just a landing ship. https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/02/meet-the-slava-class-the-russian-navys-most-powerful-cruisers/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read they supposedly were hiding in shelters beneath the theater. Hopefully they made it or else this is just another heartbreaking example of Russia breaking all rules of war.

Sure but have people even considered that even ridding the world of Putin might not make any difference at this point? As noted in this video wars are easy to start, but really hard to end.

Yea that latest speech is something else, Putin truly unhinged and dangerous. Putin Says Russia Must Undergo a 'Self-Cleansing of Society' to Purge 'Bastards and Traitors' Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a speech Wednesday that Russia should undergo a "self-cleaning of society" to get rid of the "bastards and traitors" as thousands of Russians try to flee the country amid its invasion into Ukraine. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/03/16/putin-says-russia-must-undergo-self-cleansing-of-society-purge-bastards-and-traitors.html 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good chance. I've felt WW3 has already started a while back already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it pretty obvious that is happening in some area's or are you trying to play on the words insurgents, be it insurgents or defense forces or regular forces there are areas been taken back from the Russian forces Separately, Ukraine forces have retaken the regional airport in the Mykolayiv region, the local governor has said. While analysts predict Russia should have enough resources to take key parts of Ukraine, holding them could be trickier - with the potential for a drawn-out guerrilla struggle. LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukrainian forces have retaken control of the town of Chuhuiv in northeastern Ukraine, presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych told a briefing on Monday. Further details were not immediately available on the situation in the town in the Kharkiv region, where fighting has been heavy since Russia invaded Ukraine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
