This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

How does russia get paid for the oil and gas that EU countries are continuing to buy? Is russia really cut off from financial networks and if so why do they continue to ship oil/gas into europe?
i thought that up to now the sanctions did not apply to the energy sector.
 
Low in quantity but high in quality?

"NATO has deployed four new battle groups across Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, part of the alliance's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Wednesday.

NATO already has battle groups in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Each of them consist of about 1,000 troops, but have been significantly strengthened since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

"This means that we will have eight multinational NATO battle groups all along the eastern flank from the Baltic to the Black Sea," Stoltenberg said ahead of an extraordinary NATO summit scheduled for Thursday."

Another casualty for Russians, "Aleksey Sharov" commander of the 810th Black Sea Marines Brigade was reportedly KIA in a battle with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
 
Couldn't get a separate video and posted the upper one earlier today.
Chernihiv is a NE city under siege.

Russian invaders destroy Chernihiv bridge to Kyiv. The bridge was used to evacuate civilians from Chernihiv, located 130 kilometers northeast of Kyiv, and bring humanitarian aid to the city, which has no electricity and suffers from the shortage of supplies.

Just indiscriminate shelling with no purpose other than to destroy a city. Putin is only a few steps away from nukes.
That's ridiculous. Putin did EXACTLY the same thing he's doing to Mariupol to Grozny and Aleppo. Lavrov just said that Russia's policy has always been that nukes "would only be considered in an existential situation." Putin said on Feb. 11 that nukes would only be considered if there was a significant land invasion of Russia by Nato.

Just give up the nuke fantasies already people.

Well, if we can’t trust Putin, who can we trust?
😂

Is there a 100% agreed upon definition of "existential threat" that all countries abide by? If you're desperate enough, couldn't losing 30% of your national fighting force in a month to a "lesser" country be considered an "existential threat", even if it's by your own doing?

For the 100th time, why do you guys never answer the question of why NATO is playing this as carefully as they are when they've had no problems putting boots on the ground for far less?

Probably just my imagination but I was hoping Russia blew the bridge because a Ukraine counter attack was closing in. But I don't see any evidence of that anywhere yet :(
