digitalpigsmuggler Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Quote Russian forces spearheaded by the infamous Wagner private military group are steadily wearing down the last holdouts in the city of Bakhmut, with the nearly encircled Ukrainians taking heavy casualties and running out of firepower, after a monthslong fight. British and American legionnaires with Ukraine’s International Legion who just left Bakhmut tell Military Times that Ukrainian forces lack the basics — mechanized vehicles and artillery ammunition — to keep up the fight, with the Russians slowly squeezing the city in a north-south pincer movement. But Ukraine’s high command refuses to abandon the city, counting on the grinding warfare to bleed Russian manpower and materiel, kneecapping any wider Russian spring offensive. https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/ukraine/2023/03/19/ukrainian-forces-running-out-of-shells-equipment-in-fight-for-bakhmut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video footage has since been published suggesting that Ukrainian troops may have executed surrendering Russian officers in the town of Makiivka. Back in 2019, the International Criminal Court (ICC) determined that Ukrainian forces committed possible war crimes against Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine. It is now Ukrainian military's turn to be accused of war crimes. Admittedly, on a lesser scale and seriousness than those of which the Russian forces occupying Ukrainian territory have been accused. But several videos circulating on social media since March 27, filmed by Ukrainian soldiers, show them inflicting wounds on and executing Russian prisoners of war. In a video filmed near a hangar, soldiers shot at point-blank range into the legs of three servicemen with their hands tied behind their backs, wearing the white armband identifying Russian forces. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/16/ukraine-must-investigate-alleged-war-crimes-by-its-forces https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2022/04/09/ukraine-s-military-accused-of-war-crimes-against-russian-troop_5980121_4.html Edited March 20, 2023 by digitalpigsmuggler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 In every post you make: you continuously champion fascism. Russian fascism. So my conclusion is you hate America, you hate democracy, you want the Constitution overthrown and replaced by a dictatorship. Similar to Rusiia. I have that correct, don't I? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Wow. This is twitter feed so who knows if it may end incorrect, but Putin does not show up to greet Xi? I don't believe for a second Xi won't file that - even if the speculation in the tweet about him thinking it was too risky is taken at face value.

Putin doesn't want to be assassinated on the tarmac and secondarily, also doesn't want Xi to end up as a secondary target for assassination. Wouldn't be a good look for them. Worse, in fact.

digitalpigsmuggler Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Quote But even as Ukraine is decimating Russia's forces near Bakhmut, intelligence suggests that Ukraine is suffering similar losses — a reality that could have graver consequences for the smaller country. Michael Kofman, the director of Russia studies at the Center for Naval Analyses, visited Bakhmut in early March and described witnessing worsening, worrying conditions for Ukraine's chances in the city. fighting in Bakhmut has left many of Ukraine's most experienced soldiers dead or injured. https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-bakhmut-russia-counteroffensive-experts-split-putin-2023-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
