"Something I've noticed over the past week or so here: almost every Ukrainian I spoke to has made it clear that they blame not only Putin, but the average Russian as much (or more) for this war. The view is: we overthrew our corrupt government, and they accept their murderous one."
"The amount of animosity from the average Ukrainian towards the average Russian is already huge and growing more with every single new airstrike, every new civilian death. The effects of this war will last for generations."
"And I'm saying this from Kharkiv. I think I saw more virulently anti-Russian views here than anywhere else in the country. The sense of betrayal here, of 'how could they possibly do this to *us*', is incredible."
"The people we watched crawl out of the rubble today told us their relatives in Moscow didn't believe them. Videos of their destroyed home were met with 'it's a fake' or 'Nazis did it.' *Every* bond between Ukrainians & Russians - familial, cultural, historical - is being broken."
"Honestly Kharkiv is crazy. Everything from the center going northwards, just street after street is blown out. Every street littered with glass and burned-out cars and broken buildings."

Large convoy of Belarusian military vehicles heading for Brest near the Polish border.
Worrying signs from Belarus in the past 48 hours.
Fears grow of a RU-BEL invasion of Ukraine along the Polish border to cut off access to western weapons deliveries.
- Nice https://twitter.com/…NBQ00
- Once the Western weapons stop flowing there will be peace.********
- Fuck off Brabo you Fox News parrotNBQ00
- or once the russian army stops fighting there will be peace.pango
- Once the ones who invaded someone else’s country go home there will be peace.Chimp
- Provoked into invading, dear chap. For reasons i've said elsewhere..********
- The Minsk Accord 'issues', failed color revolts in Belarus and KZ, NATO membership/nuke weapon hints..********
- And no doubt some back-channel stuff we arent privy to. Likely the west fomenting a color revolt in Russia itself.********
- Not that I take you seriously, but Russia ignored Minsk I, and said Minsk II did not apply to them.garbage
- I guess I missed the part where Ukraine threw Crimea at Russia and tried to hurt Putin with it.garbage
- FOH, you're more brainwashed and misinformed than my FoxNews grandma, and she's dead.garbage
- What about Zelensky hinting about getting nukes? Or the failed color revolts? Russia's hand was forced.********
- Sorry about your granny.********
- Don’t forget those former eastern block countries joined nato of their own free will. Probably to protect themselves against the horrors of what Russia had doneChimp
- What about countries that already got nukes? We can what about allll daypango
- "Russia's hand was forced". I don't want to believe that someone could be that stupid, or could find so much glee in being disingenuous.garbage
- But here we are. Big yawn, bobo.garbage

In this German article a US general is saying that the Russians may start to crumble in about a week as they’re running out of ammo, logistics/ supplies, low morale and heavy losses.
Google translated: https://zeitung-faz-net.translat…
“The Russians are in trouble and they know it.” Hodges lists circumstantial evidence: that they hire mercenaries in Syria, have to ask China for weapons and money, and not even Belarus will help them on the battlefield. The army general also refers to his own experience as commander of a brigade in the Iraq war in 2003: "You never have enough ammunition, because in war the need is always higher than it is calculated in peacetime." Because the Russians had counted on a quick victory , their supplies will not last much longer, he suspects, without having access to secret situation reports.

The former US military commander and CIA chief, David Petraeus, has been talking to CNN about how Ukrainians are taking out Russian generals. Since this report was broadcast, Ukraine claims to have killed six Russian general to date.
Petraeus said:
It’s very, very, very, very uncommon [for generals to be killed]. This is in the first three weeks. And these are quite senior generals. The bottom line is that their command-and-control has broken down. Their communications have been jammed by the Ukrainians. Their secure comms didn’t work. They had to go to single channel. That’s jammable. And that’s exactly what the Ukrainians have been doing to that. They use cellphones. The Ukrainians blocked the prefix for Russia so that didn’t work. Then they took down 3G. They’re literally stealing cell phones from Ukrainian civilians to communicate among each other.
So, what happens? The column gets stopped. An impatient general is sitting back there in his armoured or whatever vehicle. He goes forward to find out what’s going on because there’s no initiative. Again, there’s no noncommissioned officer corps. There’s no sense of initiative at junior levels. They wait to be told what to do. Gets up there. And the Ukrainians have very, very good snipers, and they have just been picking them off left and right. And at least four of these five are absolutely confirmed. And I think the fifth, we will hear today.
- they could just get vaxxd and uprgade to 5gneverscared
- @neverscared lol I was sitting on this line for a while, funny that someone else thought about it too :))grafician
- This sounds fishy. I find it hard to believe there are Russian generals actually on the ground in the Ukraine.MondoMorphic
- with very bad communications and very low morale, the troops really do need commanding? so yeah makes sense they are on the ground (and be taken out)grafician
- This is so implausible. Does the rus army not have corporals/sergeants... Surely it’s not just a general and a bunch of peons?monNom

History in the making.
- Nairn8
Just saw footage of a toddler being pulled out of rubble in Ukraine, limp and most likely dead, despite efforts to revive.
I instantly - and I mean instantly - started blubbing.
Having a kid really does flick a switch in your brain.
- would be interresting if their is some empirical data around that gives a view if u get more affected by horrors of this scale if you have children ..neverscared
- laterally, whether fathers are more likely to go to war if they think it'll help give their partner and kids a better chance of survival.Nairn
- I imagine there's a strong genetic basis for increased emotion in the face of a mortal threat, where useful.Nairn
- I don't have any children and I feel the same way when I see kids die.utopian
- I try and avoid watching anything like that now. Doesn't do you any good to see that and it ends up haunting you.PhanLo
- Yeah, soz, I didn't mean to suggest I'm somehow more emotionally worthy than peeps without kids. I just couldn't help but imagine it could be my kid is all.Nairn
- Narin, I have to say, that was a relatively cunty thing to say. Parenthood doesn't confer special empathetic powers those of us who aren't parents don't have.Continuity
- I don't think there isn't a non-parent among us who isn't deeply affected by the images of dead children we've seen so far, myself included.Continuity
- I'm remembering the horrific images of the two young parents bringing their little girl into a hospital after a bombardment a couple of weeks ago.Continuity
- She didn't make it. And the anguish of the parents was so awful. Haunting.
I'm a bit disappointed in you, mate.Continuity - I've felt utterly horrid watching shit about kids from Syria prior to my kid, but I never burst out crying in a pico-second of seeing it. THAT is what I mean.Nairn
- I'm talking about me here.
As always.Nairn - Don't call me mate. I'm not English.Nairn
- Also, having a kid, physiologically absolutely fucking does confer 'special empathetic powers'. Until u have a kid, u absolutely do not understand.Nairn
- Unless you had young siblings or cousins or whatever around you as you grew up. As I grew up, I didn't, so whatever phermonal/ hormonal shit works its thing, ..Nairn
- i did not have. Where you're concerned, I was, and mostly am, exctly where you are but 4 years ago. There's just an additional nuance which I don't really likeNairn
- Like, I'm laying my heart and my new found weakness out for you here, you cunt, and you chide me for it?Nairn
- Just kidding, I don't give a fuck.Nairn
- Sigh.Continuity
- Yeah sickening, and all you see on Twitter is posts claiming Ukraine is racist because they weren’t letting Indian and African students on trains first._niko
- First before Ukrainian women and children. These children that stayed behind and are now dead. Better dead than non-woke I guess._niko
- I teared up at just seeing a family fleeing and the little girl had the same teddy my wee boy has.microkorg
- @Nairn, I understand your emotions are confusing you. but it's because they're white. You should come to terms with it.Khurram
- plot twist! naim's kid is actually brown.pango
- lolfadein11
- to be fair to Nairn I know what he means, I started crying at anything involving harm to kids after becoming a parent, it was upsetting before but way worsefadein11
- when you imagine your own in those situs. He clearly meant no offense.fadein11
- I noticed a difference in myself becoming far more emotional and empathetic when confronted with this type of thing after becoming a parent. No doubt.monospaced
- agree. i got no kids. completely dead inside. its really obvious when you see my eyes. they're just dead.pango
- I can only imagine Trump, the beloved father of four....maybe five or six soulless children, how he must feel to see children blown up by his comrade Putin.utopian
- I definitely turned soft when i got my first kid, squeezed a tear in interstellar when mr alrightalrightalrigh... realizes the daughter is older than himArchitectofFate
- maybe its from the desaster of covid the last years that everybody got more emtional.. even to the point of inversion into madness like it happend to pootinneverscared
- Nairn never implied that if you don't have kids you are heartless. But for many of us — or most — having a kid certainly does make the impact feel greater.monospaced
- On a related note, I didn't know I could love something this much until I had a child. It's not that I didn't love before, but the new love is more intense.monospaced
- Naim didn't imply that. I was just saying my dead inside.
I kid I kid lolpango - He's speaking the truth, and it's probably biological, but after having kids there's definitely an increase in emotional response related to these things.monospaced
- i hope you're not still talking to me. wasn't being serious at all.pango
- Probably that child-hater, Continuity.Nairn
- I'm also talking to Nairn, because I relate.monospaced

- Russia lost this war after day 7 of the invasion.jonny_quest_lives
- "the formula for ruling a restive territory in the face of armed opposition is 20 fighters for every 1,000 people"jonny_quest_lives
- "or 800,000 Russian troops for Ukraine’s more than 40 million people. That’s almost as many as Russia’s entire active-duty military of 900,000"jonny_quest_lives
