I read that international intelligence knows something about Putin that the rest of us don’t and it’s very worrisome. My guess is he’s dying of some illness and wants to go out with a bang.
Anyone think Putin might be showing some signs of dementia? Sudden irrational statements about "drug addicts and neo-nazis" are not inconsistent with that.
Apparently some people think Stolichnaya is not Russian: " Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union the ownership of Stolichnaya has been disputed between the Russian state-owned company FKP Soyuzplodoimport and SPI Group, a private company founded and owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler." buy something better anyway
So the Russians invade a sovereign European nation, literally what people have been fearing for 40 years, and the whole world is just going to stand by and say meh about it?
Mental health is important, y’all. So while you sit here today refreshing reddit and watching the news, remember to take a break and go for a walk outside, get some fresh air, and talk to friends and family.
While Ukrainians are motivated by protecting everyone and everything they love, I wonder if the main thing motivating most of the Russians is just their fear of what might happen to them if they disobey orders.
Let's be honest at the end of the day the role of a president is mostly a figure head. He truest his government to fake over if he falls. But staying and fighting is his most important role.
Curious how that works since Russia never signed the treaty? Cluster bombs are clearly nasty weapons but how do you apply that law when they say it’s not illegal.
Using cluster munitions is t a war crime. Ukraine, USA and Russia have not signed the pact not to use them, as with many other countries (although a large number have signed)
I’m seeing some nice similarities between this and Vietnam. Vietnam was originally an French colony like how Ukraine used to be a Russian puppet. Popular homegrown government comes to power, oppressor is not happy. This is Vietnam but less justified
More nukes is a moot point. Both the US and Russia could level the entire world if they wanted. 100% land coverage does the same as 400% or 4000%. Once one fires we're all dead.
No country will send troops, the whole world watching how Ukraine dies, what if Russia invade Poland and threaten nuke again next？what a wonderful world
I don't understand how so many people are saying Russia has lost when they are firing munitions in the capital of the country they invaded, and still control ground there.
The new thread can be found
Huge amounts of gunfire at Kyiv
tons of gunshots
Heavy heavy fire
what is the un meeting right now about? just a press conference?

Crazy
Wait… if Russian troops back out all of a sudden, does Ukraine go on high alert for nuclear bombs?
See you in XXXIV-er...34.

A lot of shooting on the DW stream now...
⚠️ Update: Some connectivity has returned to #Ukraine internet backbone provider GigaTrans but service remains intermittent at present.
Just saw what appeared to be an armored vehicle on the DW Kyiv livestream.
On the ground in Kyiv right now - video at link:
It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of
If the Russians are taking this many losses try to take Ukraine, how many losses do you think they'll have to take to try and occupy it?
even the optics that they are holding out will drive Putin mad

Hello russian troll

Whoa careful there
Is it just me or does this seem like the perfect conditions for a coup
I’ve been thinking the same thing
[удалено]
nope
Doesn’t work
Nope
Didn’t work :(
Millions of Kyiv residents are about to tell invaders to go fuck themselves
I was made aware that somebody on a Russia video made a hilarious comment and i feel like i need to share it to spread some dark humor here.
I understood that reference!

Nuclear war can destroy the entire planet. Other nations have to move with nuance.
Nuclear weapons exist and Putin has a few hundred with long range striking capability.
If it stays confined to Ukraine, it doesn't draw nato in.
Nobody wants to step in first as Russia will start them.. then that’s how it all starts. He can. Do what he wants and that sucks
They picked one of the few European nations out of any defensive alliance.
Was there any news before of steps taken to ensure the animals safety at the zoo?
Not to my awareness :(
Last I heard they were arming the gorillas
Putin definitely miscalculated this one. Even former Soviet states who are closely allied with him say this attack on Ukraine is not justified.
One last hurrah he must be ill or actually gone insane.
Is or is not?

Russia threatened that Ukraine will use a dirty bomb at the UN. What they are really doing is planning to use a dirty bomb as a false flag.

Putin looks unhinged man. This is the end for him…he may get overthrown.
He just encouraged the ukranians to go against other ukranians for being drug addicts and neo nazis (watched on cnn)
He may come down with a nasty case of the "fell out of a window" and die naturally
One can hope….

Give it a bit, it'll probably start back up again.
Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava!
Slava Ukraini!
Ukraine internet backbone back up.

Must be out walking the dogs right now.
Yeah wtf, we blew by 10k comments
[удалено]
Could be propaganda. I wouldn’t trust it until we hear from official sources.
let me ask putin real quick
Unless Putin takes his lithium, they won’t.
I can confirm they're absolutely not retreating tomorrow.
I get all my info about Russian troop movements from redditors.
Not a chance in hell that's gonna happen. He's not turning back now. I'd love it if he did tho
Why would you trust a random redditor without a source lmao
Probably propaganda
You again??? Wtf report this guy please
Highly doubt it
Did you also hear a cat in the live? I hope it's ok 😭🥺
Is Russia about to send their fascist terrorist organization from Chechnya into Ukraine?
Already did
Already did, where've you been?
1 hour until sunrise!
While Ukrainians are motivated by protecting everyone and everything they love, I wonder if the main thing motivating most of the Russians is just their fear of what might happen to them if they disobey orders.
also if they don't comply they would get murdered in ukraine by the resistance
That's usually why conscripts fight.
Yes, I think so.
Hopefully we find out

Let's be honest at the end of the day the role of a president is mostly a figure head. He truest his government to fake over if he falls. But staying and fighting is his most important role.
If he leaves the country's will to fight drops. If he martyrs it strengthens their pending insurgency. Lotta balls.
It’s a tough spot to be in. He’s done such a fucking great job so far though
More war crimes.
Curious how that works since Russia never signed the treaty? Cluster bombs are clearly nasty weapons but how do you apply that law when they say it’s not illegal.
This is terrible, but no way I stand next to that thing
What's he saying. I didnt understand what happened in that video.
Using cluster munitions is t a war crime. Ukraine, USA and Russia have not signed the pact not to use them, as with many other countries (although a large number have signed)

Likely UKR
What? Nothing like that.
Just heard an upsetting cat sound on the stream 🥺
It's just Zouma doing Zouma things.
Maybe it's getting a last fuck in before Armageddon?
These actually happen a lot in cities....it is almost certainly unrelated lol
This has gone too far
I think we can all agree. Zelensky needs giant statues built around the world when this shit is done, die or survive.
Unfortunately, not enough steel factories on planet earth to produce that man’s balls.
There will be a shortage of iron when it comes to casting his balls.
It's hilarious how Israelis protest Russian action when they do the same thing against Palestine
You're an idiot, get this shit out of here
Literally not the same at all get out of here with that shit. Not the time and place
Yup, saw them protesting on stolen land
Mind boggling, what a dumb thing to say.
Big difference between the Israelis and their govt
I’m seeing some nice similarities between this and Vietnam. Vietnam was originally an French colony like how Ukraine used to be a Russian puppet. Popular homegrown government comes to power, oppressor is not happy. This is Vietnam but less justified
I hope when all is said and done, Putin is forced to stuff Legos in his socks and walk around in them for the rest of his life.
Now THIS is an appropriate punishment.
Not legos. d4s.
You're a sick bastard, I like you.
If anyone is interested in going to Ukraine to help them fight against the Russian invasion, you might find
Unless you speak the language and have military training please do not think that this is a viable option
ok so Ukraine's president could be very well shooting russians and being shot at, at this very moment?
Badasss
Highly unlikely, most likely they'll keep him well away from any combat.
Yes. But probably no.
Yes
That’s a weird way of putting it.
Interesting theory on Russias failed plans so far and their back up plans
As i get some nasty comments about the russian Troops. Here are some facts:
I'm not sure that russia has the ability to stop inbound nukes the same way NATO does.
Russian soldiers have no idea why they are fighting their cousins, brothers and sisters.
Ukraine has way more than 20k troops, just googling. More like 250k per wiki.
The number of warheads is beyond meaningless. The stockpiles are already enough to destroy the entire planet.
You do understand the US is a part of NATO... So you're saying Russia has more nukes than NATO( including the US)?
literally none of these points are true
More nukes is a moot point. Both the US and Russia could level the entire world if they wanted. 100% land coverage does the same as 400% or 4000%. Once one fires we're all dead.
thanks Ivan for that, now back to the weather.
Source or STFU
Worlds most pointless comment.
"facts".
The invasion of Afghanistan should have been a cakewalk then .....
Ukraine's active duty figure is over 200k not 20k
No country will send troops, the whole world watching how Ukraine dies, what if Russia invade Poland and threaten nuke again next？what a wonderful world
It’s worth noting that the comment made about Finland and Sweden is concerning…
Russia invading Poland will kick start WW3.
If they put a foot in Poland, trust me that would be war instantly.
if they invaded Poland Nato would respond because Poland is a Nato country
Poland is in the EU. Poland is in NATO. Russia won't touch Poland.
Poland is part of NATO, so that would trigger Article 5.
If they invade Poland it's WW3.
NATO is obligated to intervene is a member nation is attacked.
Poland is part of NATO. Russia would be destroyed.
[удалено]
Until it's over.
Yes
Why don’t oligarchs overthrow Putin
Because anyone else who replaces him will do sound thing of taking all the $$ from them and giving it back to Russian people and economy.
Every moment this goes anything other than perfect is a moment closer to just that, and he knows that.
Because Putin has been good for their pockets thus far
because the oligarchs are Putins friends that he made rich
Because he’ll jail them
Who's got the better coverage, HasanAbi or Steve Lochner?
I'm not sure on Hasan, from how wrong his takes have been on this leading up to it and repeating russian misinfo.
HasanAbi and good don't belong in the same sentence? Wasn't he excusing this invasion the other day?
I tried mentioning hasan last night and got downvoted to oblivion. But I’m a hasanabi head so I’m watching hasan
Steve is for teenagers because he is excited and hyping shit up like it's a twitch stream
You’re probably better off getting info from more reputable sources, but Lookner at least isn’t a grifter
I don't understand how so many people are saying Russia has lost when they are firing munitions in the capital of the country they invaded, and still control ground there.
Its just hopium
