Whatever you say Ms. Marvel.The way protests by local population and the farmers are taking place in Europe, especially Germany and France, the days of NATO are numbered now. People will throw out these govts and elect those who opt to come out of NATO.
This is confirmed, liveuamap has just updated, Balakliia is also said to be surrounded.What a surprise, Russian claims are overexaggerated...
Ukraine is losing fewer soldiers in its counter-offensive than Russia claims
A visit to the frontline city of Mykolaiv suggests casualties have risen littlewww.economist.com
Thread about Russian shell stockpiles. the TL;DR take is that a large part of Russia's stockpiles are empty casings because they produce casings much faster than they produce explosive and propulsive charges.
It seems like all the buildup for the Kherson counteroffensive also worked as a distraction, since Ukraine is making spectacular progress in the Kharkiv/Izyum area.
Each Ahead round contains 152 tungsten sub-projectiles which are ejected immediately in front of the oncoming target.
Yeah the wording made me go hmm. If it gets worse for Russia in the East and South at what point do they blame NATO that it is actually doing the fighting? That's how nutty the Russians are it isn't beyond them to make up some crap like that.
NATO style.... interesting.
Bottom video is a Lt Colonel. Must be going really bad if a Colonel is getting captured.
Ukrainian Forces Took Control of the Volokhiv Yar Settlement
The video has already gone viral. This is Volokhov, exit to Izyum
What is that supposed to mean? NATO-style combined arms is basically 50% airpower minimum. At the core, NATO doctrine is that ground troops operate under the shield of air supremacy. Now it's true that the Russian IADS has been damaged by HARM usage but that was on the Kherson front. On Izyum, much closer to Russian territory, there's probably still enough Russian anti-air to make CAS a dangerous prospect.
NATO style.... interesting.
Not exactly direct relation to ukr, but certainly affected by it.
Mass protest starting in Germany, today even talk of germany army mobilization to tackle it
Italy also protesting against high bill
Macron in France also having hard time. Czech open protest and it might escalate.
A really funny part is the hugely Ukraine related propaganda tilted media describing a small protest in Russia as a regime changer, while completely ignoring the mass protests in Italy germany Spain Czech Dutch as just small far right movement. Very interesting time. I expect USA to bail out UK but they will not be able to bail out entire EU probably. At some point they will prioritise their own needs.
Europe braces for massive protests over energy prices and Russian sanctions, French economist warns
Gave stated that many Europeans are no longer buying the pro-NATO narrative blaming Russia for the rising price of gas, which only just culminated in Russia’s stoppage of operations of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.www.rebelnews.com
“The demonstrations in Prague and Germany are only the beginning. The price of gas and consequently of electricity are driving the European citizens mad with anger and it will worsen,” said Gave, who supported populist conservative candidate Eric Zemmour during the 2022 presidential election.
We can thoroughly ignore the minority french right wing demo this week, but the higher prices for energy bills is getting out of hand and will definitely be a big factor for the political parties. A cross continent trend is appearing. I think except the baltic countries & the nordic , major west european countries will be very much affected. The heat of war is too close to Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia etc so they will choose the hardship, but the western & southern countries, general public mood will dictate. Seen by Italy Czech Bulgaria political struggles recently. I did not expect Macron to get hard time politically as well.This is the point of view of a French journalist who supports a very minority party: Eric Zemour had only 7% of the vote in the presidential elections.
Macron has no political difficulties, he has a classic opposition as always in France, and energy has not increased in France for individuals. I only use electricity at home and my bill has not increased, and the state subsidises petrol by €20 cents per litre which is enough to keep the price stable, and on top of that Total which is a French oil company is currently doing a promotion where it adds to the state subsidy its own subsidy of €30 cents.We can thoroughly ignore the minority french right wing demo this week, but the higher prices for energy bills is getting out of hand and will definitely be a big factor for the political parties.

This is very good, it should allow us to sell Rafale to India because they will be cheaper.You can do all the math gymanstics technically ppl in europe will be paying 20% more than what they did earlier. If you observe 2014 there is a slide and now again in 2022. If this war continues and wages remain constant , things will only get worse . More subsidies means higher deficit , at the end of the day money should come from some where , economically what applies for russia will also apply for europe.

The difference is, in Russia, poor people are actually poor. In Europe poor people smoke 40 cigarettes a day, and have sky, a mobile phone and the internet.You can do all the math gymanstics technically ppl in europe will be paying 20% more than what they did earlier.
