Russia steps up Ukraine assault as US warns of annexation

 

Russia on Monday launched a fresh assault on the critical Ukrainian port of Odessa as the United States warned that Moscow was preparing formally to annex embattled regions in the east.

The new heavy fighting came as the European Union said it was bracing for a complete end to Russian gas supplies, with the bloc preparing another package of sanctions sure to anger President Vladimir Putin.

After failing to take the capital Kyiv, Moscow has shifted its two-month-old invasion to largely Russian-speaking areas and has stepped up pressure on Odessa, a celebrated cultural hub that is a crucial port on the Black Sea.

I find myself conflicted over these reports of Putin’s ill health.

 

I don’t ordinarily wish a progressive and painful ill health on anyone.

I really wonder why they put so much effort into BS like this, because in some months they will have to de-annex it again.

I'm conflicted for a different reason.

 

Putin deserves a slow, painful death.  However the sooner he's out of the way the better, so I'm hoping for a fatal complication during surgery.

Comprehensive and damning statement, this is worth a read its too long to put here

 

Joint Statement on the Invasion of Ukraine and the Importance of Freedom of Expression and Information

 

In the light of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and the continuation of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the monitors for freedom of expression and freedom of the media for the United Nations (UN), the African Commission of Human Rights (ACHR), the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights (ItACHR), and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) issued the following joint statement:

 

We are outraged about the continuous atrocities and the resulting grave human rights and humanitarian crises, which have a massive detrimental impact on civilians’ lives, safety and well-being. We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in these difficult times.

 

First, we are profoundly concerned about the safety of journalists, media workers and associated personnel in Ukraine, who are carrying out their work under unprecedented conditions, and are now at a very high risk. There are numerous reports that journalists and they are being targeted, tortured, kidnapped, attacked and killed, or refused safe passage from the cities and regions under siege. Such actions are abhorrent and must be stopped immediately.

My feelings too are mixed.  While it may be bizarre to be supporting an evil, murderous, out of control blight on the human race, I wouldn't wish Putin on anything, not even cancer.  Let's hope they're able to assist it in its fight against him.

I like your comment so  much ! I have talked so much with  many persons who have explained the thinking they have abouut the thinking of Putin. If he is wrong  to us when he is right to  other is really a  natural way of life .Big problem is debate who wins how much  of reason for war. Kompetition  is the normal solution for war or not ?

To get you out of the metaphysical world and back into the real world; illegally invading a sovereign country may come back on the aggressor.

How about this?

If you could anonymously push a button and Putin would be instantly vaporized with no pain.

Maybe that same thing is happening to Putin now?

Just when you thought the Russian officials couldn't get any lower, unbelievable..................

 

After Lavrov's statement on TV set that case for Russia's denazification of Ukraine: “So what if Zelensky is Jewish. The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood. Some of the worst antisemites are Jews.”

 

Israel summoned the Russian ambassador to the Israeli Foreign Ministry to complain.

 

The response today from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

 

"History, unfortunately, holds some tragic examples of cooperation between Jews and the Nazis."

 

"Jews were complicit in their own prosecution and extermination in WW2. Aa well as Israel complicit in prosecution of Jews, along with "communists and Russians" in Ukraine."

 

“Israel supports the Nazi-government in Kyiv”.

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry just accused Israel of supporting Neo Nazism in Ukraine

if the Ruzzians continue like this, maybe Mossad will take care of Putin and his henchmen.

Ukraine invasion threatens to undermine stability throughout world, not just in Europe, top US general says

Quote

 

“The Russian invasion of Ukraine is threatening to undermine not only European peace and stability, but global peace and stability that my parents and generations of Americans fought so hard to defend,” Milley said. 

Milley said the US is “at a very critical and historic geo-strategic inflection point,” where the US military must “maintain readiness and modernize for the future” at the same time.

 

what's clear is that if the USA and the rest of the free world don't push Putin back out of Ukraine, then it is a clear signal to China that they can be more aggressive in their moves.

 

Chinese media are painting NATO and USA as bad boys, saying Russia had no other choice than to attack Ukraine. Of course Chinese media are state-controlled and they publish lie after lie.

My anger at Putin and Ruzzians has not abated since day 1 of the invasion.

 

Some things one can get used to, but I cannot get used to that war. It made immensely angry in the deepest of my soul and I am still as angry, if not more angry because of the mounting news of atrocities and reports of more orcs and weapons being sent in by Ruzzia.

 

I wonder if many other free Western people feel the same as I do. Boris Johnson, Truss, the Polish government ... If they are all as angry as me, Putin has no chance to prevail with conventional war, more and more military aid will pour into Ukraine. Even the Germans will concede to international pressure and internal pressure to finally deliver these Marder and Leopard tanks. I hope Ukrainians are already training on them in Germany and training on F-16 in USA. If not, they should hurry.

 

Western people are so angry that people from UK, USA, and other countries leave to go fight the Ruzzian Nazist ORCS.

 

Did Putin expect that kind of anger?

He didn't anticipate Ukrainian resistance. But did he even think that the West could say "enough is enough"?

 

Maybe one mistake of the free world was to not display that anger before, for example in 2014. But as a mitigating factor, the situation wasn't the same. It's Zelensky's election for President and then the landslide in parliament which changed everything.

 

I have started to watch "Servant of the people", I'm through 17 episodes so far. It's a lightweight comedy that's easy to watch, but at moments it very clearly demonstrates where the problems are in Ukrainian society, and what the "President" wants to do about them.

No wonder Zelensky won with that TV show an electoral programme.

 

I don't know if Putin and Zelensky talked before, but watching the show I can clearly imagine Putin feeling blindsided and ridiculed by Zelensky who probably did it intentionally.

Maybe Putin also fears a contagion of Zelenskyism to Belarus and Russia. The show was very popular in both countries. In the end, Zelensky, just by winning the elections and starting to improve his country is a massive threat to Putin's rule.

So you think Russia should be allowed to invade countries at will and the world's response should be "Well, there are arguments on both sides..."?
