It’s back despite popular demand

Again I apologise for no link
And also for swearing at a mod in Russian (!)
Possibly an AB first.
It was for me at any rate
The Ukraine Air Force has been active overnight and this morning downing three Russian Sukhoi fighter jets and losing one Mig

Bit of irony there, shooting down Russian planes with a Russian Mig.

[ichkeria]

Not to mention the Kalashnikovs ;-)

Every slap in the face for these Russian rats counts, being large or small.

Hi Ich
thanks for your attention
are you getting zapped because the mods think it is too shocking for the average ABer - to be told Ukraine is getting its arriss kicked

and wishes to spare their modest blushes?

I agree a major danger is that other countries ( US and UK ) will get involved and then we will all be ash

The Ukraine ambassador gets a rare standing ovation welcome from the House of Commons.

Sergey Kyslytsya is a bit of star.

I don’t think Nebentzia is going to get one.
He’s accusing the Ukrainians of refusing to let civilians leave Mariupol to avoid their murderous shells.

[ichkeria]

Meanwhile Russian tanks roll unopposed into Kherson.
Hopefully because the locals are going to draw then into street fighting

Any reason why those columns haven't been hit hard as they sit there Ich? Is it so as not to further escalate or a logistics or ammo shortage issue.

P.S I know that may not be an easy question to answer in your position. If you do not reply I will not think ill of you.

Just a note to the twitter haters.....
Did you realise that there are feeds from people (for the time being) actually in the conflict zones providing frequent updates / videos virtually as they happen?

[Zacs-Master]

Christopher Miller is a particularly good one

I heard three reasons quoted for why Russia can be expelled from the UN Security Council.
I expected to be hearing about arcane legal loopholes but they were as follows:
The rules say:
1) you can’t be a member and attack another member without provocation
2) you can’t be a member if you persistently thwart the Council by vetoing its resolutions
3) Russia was never formally appointed to the SC: it joined as the Soviet Union

Take your pick from those, I say

[ichkeria]

Yes Zacs this is where Twitter comes into its own

“ Answer

I don’t know Togo: I talked about this earlier. Maybe they don’t want to waste their ammo on them :-)

One video posted in last 10mins shows a young Russian conscript being given food by Ukranians. He breaks down in tears.

One thing the Ukrainian air force should do is blow up the leading tanks and the road in front of them and then blow up the tanks at the back and the roadway behind them.The fascists tanks would be stranded and the Ukrainians could pick them off from the sides.I dont know,im not a military tactician.But its worth a go.

The problem with Twitter is it is unvalidated so can also be very easily used for propaganda.

I am not saying it is being used like that in all instances but you just dont know which is.

First casualty of war is the truth.

[youngmafbog]

I see the Chinese are getting more into the mediation.

Hopefully they are worried about Putin too. And their profits.

[ichkeria]

Another possible reason for not hitting the convoy: it appears to be largely logistics. Perhaps in preparation for a siege. It might be best to try to commandeer it :-)

[ichkeria]

With Twitter you get used to checking stuff.
