The US bankrupts people for routine medical treatment medical and is restricting the right to birth control. The dirty secret is that Putin and the West are two cheeks of the same arse in their economic outlook. Russians deserve better - and we deserve better too. Bonus points for the concern about remote provinces freezing and opportunities being reduced for the masses- I'm sure that Tory Britain will ensure that doesn't happen to millions this winter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The Russian MoD has said that their forces have taken Pisky, a settlement held by the Ukrainians since 2014 near Donetsk. This has been claimed before but not verified, seems like there might be more to this claim. If true, the first settlement capture in several weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The Ukrainians appear to be saying otherwise. Think you'll find the Russians have captured some other settlements in the Donbas over the last few weeks particularly close to Bakhmut after a power plant they had been going after for months finally fell to them. Meanwhile in Kherson the Russian commanders are reported to have moved to the east bank of the Dniepr now that all the bridges are down. We'll soon find out if makeshift ferries are enough to keep a large number of troops supplied to the west of the Dniepr: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m honestly not denying the veracity of this report, but Amnesty have been wrong on MANY occasions and are not particularly well-liked within the NGO community (speaking as someone who has been within that community) I usually take anything Amnesty says with a pinch of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 On 09/08/2022 at 11:27, Todd_is_God said: I was meaning a more neutral stance overall. Not supplying weapons to one side whilst sanctioning the other. That is not a neutral stance and also has no real bargaining power as you have already played your hand. The arrogant West believed their sanctions would force Russia to quickly abandon hostilities, but that didn't work and the only real result is soaring domestic inflation caused by massive energy price increases. It's in absolutely no-one's best interests to maintain this conflict, yet the deep rooted anti-Russian sentiment means the only option considered is to support Ukraine at all cost. The other option is to let Russia win. (The whole of Ukraine, not just the bits they have seized previously and the now conquered bits.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that the Russians are about to waltz into Lviv remains utter nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
