Andrey Kozyrev argued that Russia's invasion was not going to plan early because President Vladimir Putin did not know the true state of his military.

Huge difference between accidental strike and deliberate killings.

For the Russians, most of the South and East are Russian speakers, so they consider them their own people. It's also why Ukraine is not allowing civilians to leave the cities through humanitarian corridors.

The Russians are well aware of where hospitals are situated in Ukraine, therefore hitting one is either on purpose or by firing so indiscriminately into built-up areas that they are still responsible. I'm certainly not impressed with Russian precision and surgical strike capability up to this point.

Which is bad news, because now he knows and can take steps.

Fratricide and collateral damage is pretty common during air and artillery strikes. Weapons don't always behave the way you want them to.

He was the foreign minister in Yeltsin's presidency & was accused by different sections in the state Duma & Moscow across the political spectrum of having sold out to western interests . So what does he do ? After he's eased out he settles in the US of all places & works as a businessman. So yes , he does indeed enjoy a lot of credibility . In the west.

Ah ! The narrative's gradually changing isn't it Paddy ? From bumbling ineffective Russkies to Nazi thugs with no consideration for human lives. I suspect in the days to come the former will completely give way to the latter . Trust you to flog a dead horse to death here .

If you're using unguided weapons how do you expect them to behave, or are you saying that Russian guided weapons are erroneous?

It will force them to speed up the inevitable. Russia was never a reliable partner in the first place. Great news for the British and Scandinavian oil & gas industries. And now I will scan my computer for viruses, thanks for that. Can't find any other source for that story though.

Oil price hasn't changed, in fact lower than yesterday.

That's coz Iraq & UAE have been pumping more oil since the last few days in response to Biden's pleas. Expect KSA to fall in line after they've reached some agreement. Don't you get news from sources other than Yahoo a Chinese controlled website , knucklehead ?

The Russians have to fix their logistics and comm systems. Shows how important it is to get our own TCS up and running.

A Short History of U.S. Bombing of Civilian Facilities

What's unusual about the Kunduz hospital bombing is not that it happened but that it happened to a prominent European organization. In recent times, the U.S. military has bombed a number of civilian facilities.
