Quote from Danilov: "The lend-lease has not started yet. But the adoption of the law on the lease is a very positive decision for us. And the lend-lease will be, the question is - when. It could be July-August, maybe September. There are many factors. We should understand that the world is not so big. Everyone knows who has what in the country. The availability of weapons, equipment for its manufacture, ammunition. Today it turned out that there have been almost no Soviet-style 122- and 152-calibre ammunition left. " Details: Danilov also emphasised that Ukrainian society is not aware of all the countries who help with weapons, as many of them ask not to reveal the military weapons they hand over [to Ukraine]. The Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council promised to "thank everyone after the victory." Background: On 9 May, President Biden signed a law on lend-lease for Ukraine, opening the way for the rapid supply of any type of weapon to Ukraine.The actual lend lease started today. I was wondering about the photo too. Appears to be a storage area or maybe the APCs being collected that were shipped to Ukraine earlier.?

'It is reported that the Armed Forces of #Ukraine have made progress in the region of #Kherson . The town of #Osokorivka is secured by the Ukrainian forces. This returns Osokorivka to the point of the front of the #KhersonOffensive closest to the bank of the Dnieper River."

The enemy ran after the Russians in disgrace?

Perhaps there was a missing comma in the translation: "The enemy ran after them, in disgrace," where the prepositional phrase was modifying "them" (the Russians) and not the "enemy" (Ukraine).

Prepping for a flood of young men trying to jump the border? It's good to be prudent against an invasion, but I don't think Russia has the resources to open another front.

WARSAW, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Gas started flowing to Poland through the new Baltic Pipe pipeline from Norway via Denmark and the Baltic Sea on Saturday morning, Polish gas pipeline operator Gaz-System said.

The pipeline is at the centre of Poland's strategy to diversify its gas supplies away from Russia that began years before Moscow's February invasion of Ukraine triggered a global energy crisis.

A Gaz-System spokeswoman told Reuters that flows started at 6.10 a.m. (0410 GMT) and nominations, or requests for sending gas through the pipeline on Oct. 1, totalled 62.4 million kilowatt-hours (kwh).

Probably not but it seems they have not shortage of saboteurs.

That is a big boom

Massive. Surprised the Russians have enough ammo to store in one spot to make that big of a boom. And, like so many other pictures of Ukraine, did you notice how pockmarked the landscape is?

 

[lucas80]

Probably not but it seems they have not shortage of saboteurs.

Meh. They haven't done much of that. Remember when we were warned about massive cyber attacks? What is Russia holding those back for? They certainly sent teams after Zelensky, but those failed. I get the feeling their special forces, and spies/saboteurs are as corrupt and inept as their army. Good at killing women and children, or assassinating dissidents in London, but not good for much else.

Apparently France is almost as bad as Germany when it comes to letting it military waste away.

"Contrary to the statements of the former Defense Minister,
@florence_parly
the aid paid to Ukraine is assessed at 4 billion € by the Senate Defense Committee. 25% of Caesar st in (Ukraine) . There remain 250 (aircraft) of the 700, 30 years ago. In 2022, there are 220 tanks left out of 1350, from 1991."

Perhaps some of these NATO members should spend a bit more to increase and maintain their military forces.

LOL

Sarcasm or crazy Russian?

"Our analysis: Russia is gathering 3.4 million men and 8,000 tanks for a massive attack that will defeat Ukraine in 48 hours. Each red arrow represents 200,000 men"

Maybe they are all super sub specialists, and their skill sets don't extend far beyond helping people fall out of windows.

Again, perhaps there is a missing comma, and "in panic" refers to the Russians.

 

[lucas80]

Which goes to the point of how much in manpower and money is Putin expending just to keep Moscow and St. Petersburg under control? He's losing a war in Ukraine, and he's got riots in the streets, and citizens fleeing.

Good example of not needing runways.

The problem is that they won't be accepted. Accepting them would immediately trigger article 5 and we would be at war with Russia.

It would immediately trigger a "Putin, Get The F*** Out of Ukraine And Crimea or We Unleash Hell"

So? They almost unanimously support Ukraine.

Is the pic with a CPAC attendee holding g a Russian flag for real? If so then that is damn crazy and unacceptable.

Quit voting for the folks who keep attending it, then.

What troubles me is how disconnected from reality he seems to be, and that he's mixing in religion. Putin's rule has not been marked by religion. But, he's really worked the religious angle since the war started, and he's doubling down on culture/religious propaganda right now.

It's better to not say things than simply make things up.

I don't know how Ukraine can use their resources to accept so many POWs?

Light em up and just say it's payback for Bucha!

This appears to be a common belief of various military minds.

"Militarily, the Russians have already lost the war", according to a former French army officer Russia has already lost the war."
