If you have anybody planning to join the fight in Ukraine. Tell him to run.
It is a trap.

Russian military is as strong as ever. Those that managed to escape are testifying, warning others from being Bush meat to the Chechynans.

Remember the Chechen commander they said they killed in Kiev?
See him in Mauriopol

I don't understand what you are saying.

I mean they should move in and take control of the capital.
have you ever heard of the word "siege"?
Why move your troops into a city with close to 500k armed men when you have already surrounded them and can let them starve to death?
Go and read what they are doing in mariupol, the battalions there are crying everyday begging for NATO to come and protect them. If Russia want to cut off electricity to Kiev this minute they will do it, if they want to cut off water they will do it. That's what they are doing in the other cities. It is very effective. That was how they defeated USA backed rebels in Syria. They besiege you, drop bombs occasionally and then offer you an option to either surrender or be annihilated and buried beneath rubbles. You choose. That way they don't suffer casualties. They drink and laugh while you hide, starve until you start eating your fellow humans or you surrender

Ukraine doesn't belong to Russia. Read about how USSR was formed. Scotland does not belong to England. It is part of Great Britain and United Kingdom. UK consists of 4 nations. Just like ussr. Biafra or Eastern Nigeria agreed to be part of Nigera in 1960 with no succession clause.
Scotland belongs to England. You should read more on Scottish revolutions and how brutally England crushed them all. William Wallace, Robert the Bruce etc.
Present day Ukraine was part of the Russian and muscovy empire of 1700s and 1800s. Europe is deeply rooted in imperialism

if you Ukraine are granted the luxury of claiming independence from Russia then LPR and DPR also have the right to such luxury. The fact that Ukraine refuse to recognise those regions Independence also mean Russia have the right to not recognise Ukraine independence . If Mongol or Greece still had the power they could come out and claim Russia just like China is doing to Taiwan. England is currently weak but that does not mean they will not do anything necessary to crush Scotland and retake it if they were secede.

The target was in Lviv. LVIV is the border between Ukraine and Poland. There are no Russia troops in the Western part of Ukraine. Russian troop are concentrated in the East (Kiev, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Donbas e.t.c). Ukraine partners (German, Poland, UK, US, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia e.t.c) are sending weapon and foreign fighters to Ukraine through the Ukraine-Poland border. The Russians are using long range cruise missiles like the Kalibr and Khinzhal missile that can travel more than 1000km to hit Weapon depots and foreign military camps in the West (Lviv).

Russian troops in Ukraine can not take the whole Ukraine. They are too small for that. Infact they can fit in a stadium. They are interested in taking the capital, all the Ukrainian sea ports in the east, and the whole of Donbas. Russia is not really interested in seizing the capital. They mainly interested in seizing all Ukrainian sea ports in the east and the Donbas.

The capital has been surrounded. They are trying to lay siege on the capital to force the Ukrainian to accept cease fire on Russia terms.

At the end of the day. Ukraine will be forced to accept Russian demands and the Donbas, the Azov sea port, Odesa e.t.c will be under Russia control permanently.

When he becomes truly ready to negotiate, we will know. One minute, he is ready for neutrality, next minute he says they will never surrender and is calling for a no fly zone. Next minute he says he wants a face to face meeting to negotiate and end the war, next minute he is claiming to have killed 12000 and promising more death. How do you take such a comedian seriously? We can only hope, he doesn’t come to his senses at an hour too late. Because wether now or later, the outcome is inevitable. He overestimated Ukraine’s importance to the west, not knowing he was just used as a pawn to irritate and antagonize Russia economically. The west already achieved its aim, to reign in Russia with sanctions and inhibit its growth.

The people of Crimea Peninsula which are majority Russian speakers are happy to join Russia that's why there was no resistance when Russia took it from Ukraine in 2014 and they celebrated even yesterday, the other two breakaway regions which Russia recognize as independent states where already fighting the Ukrainian government before Russia's invasion, Russia's invasion is a boost to them, I repeat Russia made demands and Ukraine will accept those demands at the end of it all, Russia feels threaten about Ukrainian ambition to join nato, Russia also asked for Ukrainian disarmament so that Ukraine won't be a threat to them in the future, Russia recognize those Ukrainian breakaway regions to make Ukraine smaller and weak so that it can't be used by Europe or America against Russia
Russia will get those demands all nato can do is watch and only sanction

Ukraine have always been part of Russia. Historically they belonged to the muscovy empire, then Russian empire then USSR.
You should go and research the all Scottish rebellions and how they were all crushed by the England. You clearly don't know much. What was William Wallace and Robert the Bruce rebelling against? Why was Wallace hanged in public square?
Biafra is part of Nigeria. Even if they try to secede Nigeria government will always crush them. If Gowon had implemented the Aburi Accord, few years later Nigeria would have still attacked Biafra and annex it.
England is currently weak but should Scotland secede with a territory that holds economic value to England, they will annex Scotland and say they have always been part of them

Just like entire Russia was part of mongol empire for more than 200 years. Mongol ruled chinese for about 100 years. That was then. Ukraine and Russia are different countries.
Regions Luhansk, Donetsk and crimea belong to Ukraine not Russia. Indigenous people of the regions are not Russias. They were deported or russified.

Russia Fires Kinzhal Hypersonic Missiles in Ukraine

Russia's defence ministry claims it has used hypersonic missiles for the first time ever in combat. It said Russian forces had destroyed an underground Ukrainian missile depot in the Ivano-Frankovsk region yesterday. The region of Ivano-Frankivsk shares a 40 kilometers long border with NATO member Romania. The use of the weapons is the latest sign Vladimir Putin is getting increasingly desperate as his military struggles to carry out his illegal invasion of Ukraine. Details about the operation remain scarce, but Russia has previously bragged about its hypersonic weapons arsenal. The strike is believed to have been carried out using Kinzhal or 'Dagger missiles', which have been claimed to have a range of around 2,000 km. Their speed and ability to fly low makes them "invisible" to most anti-missile defence systems, and they are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Putin previously said that the country began to create hypersonic weapons "in response to the US deployment of a strategic missile defence system". President Vladimir Putin has termed the Kinzhal missile "an ideal weapon" that flies at 10 times the speed of sound and can overcome air-defence systems. The Kinzhal missile was one of an array of new weapons Putin unveiled in his state-of-the-nation address in 2018. It is the first known time the new Kinzhal has been used in the conflict but it was earlier "tested" in Syria.

Still doesn't mean. Ukraine fought for her independence from the Russian empire>>"In November 1917, after the Bolsheviks seized power from the Provisional Government, the Central Rada proclaimed the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR), which was formally in federation with Russia. In December 1917, however, the UNR waged war on Russia. In January 1918 the UNR broke all ties with Soviet Russia and declared itself an independent state"

So Ukraine WAS part of the Russian empire and never is. Russia can't lay any claims as to ownership of Ukraine.

About Scotland>>>>"Scotland was an independent kingdom through the Middle Ages, and fought wars to maintain its independence from England. The two kingdoms were joined in personal union in 1603 when the Scottish King James VI became James I of England, and the two kingdoms united politically into one kingdom called Great Britain in 1707."

All fought to be left alone. The Biafra struggle wasn't successful, if not, it'd have not been a part of NIGERIA.

Minsk agreement did not give independence to those regions. You can check it again. And crimea peninsula is being contended. In modern world, no country shouid tamper with territorial integrity of another country. It will lead to conflict.
People of Donetsk and Luhansk have no right to do that. Russia has no right to organize referendum there. Britain has no right to organize referendum for any region in Nigeria.

It just like biafra declaring independence from Nigeria. It will lead to war. Or Jos north says they are no part of plateau state.

Why Russia's Hypersonic Missiles Can't Be Seen on Radar

Hypersonic weapons such as Russia's 3M22 Zircon fly so fast and low -- at speeds of up to Mach 6 and at a low atmospheric-ballistic trajectory -- that they can penetrate traditional anti-missile defense systems.

The missile flies with an advanced fuel that the Russians say gives it a range of up to 1,000 kilometers. And it's so fast that the air pressure in front of the weapon forms a plasma cloud as it moves, absorbing radio waves and making it practically invisible to active radar systems.

U.S. Aegis missile interceptor systems require 8-10 seconds of reaction time to intercept incoming attacks. In those 8-10 seconds, the Russian Zircon missiles will already have traveled 20 kilometers, and the interceptor missiles do not fly fast enough to catch up.

Russia unleashes 'unstoppable' nuclear-capable hypersonic missile 'destroying Ukraine weapons depot'

Video captures the dramatic moment a Russian hypersonic missile destroys an ammunition depot in the west of Ukraine.

Moscow claims its 'Kinzhal' - or Dagger - weapon is "unstoppable" by current Western weapons.

The video reportedly filmed from a military drone shows the moment a large Ukrainian ammunition depot in Ivano-Frankivsk was hit by a deadly Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile.

Russia's defense ministry said: “The Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles destroyed a large underground warehouse containing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region."
