In the case of Kramatorsk, where the Ukrainians bombed the railway station using a missile that only they use (the Tochka-U) and tried to frame it on Russia, and in the case of Bucha, where the Ukrainians murdered anyone that accepted humanitarian aid from Russia after they withdrew, yes, that is the exact tactic which Ukraine has employed.

Ukraine, realizing they can't actually win the war, has shifted to waging almost entirely terror and psychological tactics to influence world opinion.

They aren't even trying to fight the real war at this point. For example, they could have given the order for the 60 thousand Donbass battalion troops to withdraw from the East to a more defensible position, or to reinforce the area around Kiev.

Instead, they just left them to die.

They refused a corridor for the Banderites to leave Mariupol too, even though it would have saved the lives of some 3,000-4,000 soldiers, whom are now doomed to be killed or captured.

Damn, I'm moving to France. No booze delivery here, no matter age.
Russian media are posting photoes of Tochka U's booster stage with the same part number found in Donetzk/Luhansk rep. Theory of green and grey seems to be false.
Accuse Russians? Clearly not. Get aid? Yes. Strike was very precise which is uncommon for Tochka U, yet it can be manually guided untill it finally lands. So it doesn't matter how is the booster stage oriented when landed- it's not a straight line.

Such trash logic. The Ukrainians already have the world's sympathy. They have NO NEED to intentionally target their own civilians to increase this stock.

Russia can't win. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2022/03/02/russia-cannot-win-the-war/

They may have sympathy of the *west* (and not much outside of that), but not enough to justify a NATO intervention - which is what they want to prevent the total collapse of their state.

The Ukrainians are pretty much in a position where they are toast and will never recover any of the territory they have lost, such as the newly recognized borders of DPR/LPR and the Black Sea coast, without a major military confrontation between NATO and Russia.

Yes, they are crazy enough to risk ww3 and nuclear war just to avoid the destruction of their illegitimate neo-nazi regime, or have to make concessions to Russia signaling a defeat. Zelensky has made that much very clear in the past few weeks as he repeatedly called for a no fly zone.

As for that article you posted, it's just the typical Eurotrash nonsense about how Russia "doesn't have enough money" to fight, filtering all of reality through the lens of the US-style bloated military industrial complex. It ignores the fact that Russia fights wars for several orders of magnitude cheaper than the US does. You can do that when you are not worried about maximizing the profits of corporations like Raytheon and Boeing when planning wars.

The *West's* sympathy is all they really need, isn't it? Everything else is just bonus. A total collapse of the Ukrainian state is Putin's pipe dream at this point. So many of Russia's combat units have been decimated - that they won't be combat-effective for weeks to months - they can't even engage on all of the front anymore.

Right, because steel, ceramics, fuels, circuit boards, brass, etc are just orders of magnitude cheaper in Russia. FOH, FSB troll.

This post is very icky.



There are far right people in every military. It is a cancer in all armed forces. Most soldiers are normal dudes fighting for home.

This is in the middle of the government district, I would assume that there are Ukrainian forces controlling access to all of the surrounding buildings. Also, Russia clearly cannot have an interest in assassinating a Western leader at the current point, nor in spilling Zelensky's brain all over Johnson's suit.
