I don’t think they need to say it really. It’s implied. And you can bet that the message has been relayed to those countries that if nukes are used and they continue trading with Russia that they’ll be cut off from the west
India would 100% be out. China’s hand is deeper in the cookie jar, but they have bigger goals on their mind and being willing to ally with countries manufacturing excuses to use nukes is a baaaad look.
No clue on credibility but Twitter is saying 2k-8k russian troops are what is at risk of being encircled in Lyman.
Russia couldn’t pull off a two front offensive with their beat forces, but are going to try again with conscripts?
I think we are really close to seeing Western IFV and Tanks being announced for Ukraine, seems to be imminent might be even tomorrow. Seems like the new budget for the USA is going to unlock some bucks for Ukraine and the West is pissed about Russian escalation. If I had to guess its going to be roughly 100 Leopard II's and 300 or so Bradleys. The Germans have Leopards they can deliver and so does Spain & Poland. (Who have both said they would trade for Abrams and have both said they would give to Ukraine, Germany has no interest in Abrams but they can replace the Leopards- Rheinmetal is back building shit)
Graphic warning video is claimed to be from Lyman looks like the dude is driving past a blown up UKR tank, a wrecked RUS BMP, and then what I think are LDR bodies war is hell
Putin backing himself into an absolutely unwinnable position only for the reason of inflicting pain on his adversaries. I see why Trump, Tucker Carlson and the American right love him.
the amount of destroyed BMPs I’ve seen over the past 6 months is staggering. Those things seem like death traps
Yea hard to tell on the tank. It looks like a t-64 which is used by both but can't see any Russian markings or Ukrainian camo. The bodies look like a mix some how- some look for sure Russian aligned while one has blue tape which is Ukrainian.
I’d look at the source of the video. Ukraine isn’t taking video of their own dead and posting it on social media and vice versa
ehh that's happened a bunch during Kherson and Kharkiv offensives where Ukraine troops posted videos and their own assets/soldiers were obviously part of the carnage, its usually not from the propaganda channels where they are cleaned up first its why the UKR losses have shot up on places like Oryx
really it’s the only way possible. There’s no way putin is giving back the oblasts they just annexed. Some negotiated settlement where they keep Crimea but give everything else back seems like the only real option but not sure anyone in Moscow could survive that
Anyone have any updated information on the impact the previous sanctions have had? It seemed like these were fairly effective early on, but less so now.
