The Russians were hunting us down. They had a list of names, including ours, and they were closing in.
We had been documenting the siege of the Ukrainian city by Russian troops for more than two weeks and were the only international journalists left in the city. We were reporting inside the hospital when gunmen began stalking the corridors. Surgeons gave us white scrubs to wear as camouflage.
Suddenly at dawn, a dozen soldiers burst in: “Where are the journalists, for fuck’s sake?”
I looked at their armbands, blue for Ukraine, and tried to calculate the odds that they were Russians in disguise. I stepped forward to identify myself. “We’re here to get you out,” they said.
The walls of the surgery shook from artillery and machine gun fire outside, and it seemed safer to stay inside. But the Ukrainian soldiers were under orders to take us with them.

Russia provokes NATO
Today Russian fighter-bomber entered Polish airspace. This happened immediately after the announcement by the Polish leadership about the possible deployment of Polish peacekeepers to Ukraine to ensure the safety of civilians.
- We're more concerned with Russian navy in the Black Sea planting underwater mines and bombing ships to disrupt commercial shipping in the areagrafician

Boris Romantschenko, a survivor of the death camps of Buchenwald, Mittelbau-Dora, Bergen-Belsen, and Peenemünde, died on Friday after a Russian missile slammed into his apartment building in Kharkiv's second city.

I think the culprit to how far this invasion has escalated were FSB's false reports about pro-Russian sentiment in Ukraine.
Putin anticipated to have a quick 3-day victory and maybe did not want this massacre to begin with. He is now busy cleansing the ranks of his FSB agents, but in the long term he's trapped and does not know what to do. He can't abort now.
However successful the Ukrainian army is, I think Russia is still quantitatively superior, even if they win by showering Ukraine with Russian corpses.
The only good scenario is that Putin is overthrown by a gang of high-ranking FSB officers followed by some decorative revolution and they elect some internationally recognized leader like Navalny in his place.
Worst case Russia wins and Putin has no choice but to build Gulag v2.0 to keep his power, the greatest prison of peoples in the world.

- yeah I don't see what Putin's end game is here, even if he "wins" he loses.
A pyrrhic victory is his best case scenario._niko - Ukraine military is amazingly badass considering they have less fire-power but they may win and push Russia back fully. Putin will be butthurt and launch nukes.NBQ00
- the russians are too lazy / stupid / frightened to do anything about it.
they just destroy things out of malice.
this is the russian wayhans_glib - I hope not. At least he can't launch them alone. And hopefully there'll be a coup and somebody kills him.NBQ00
- are pro-Putin nationalists going to be any less hostile to a west approved Navalny figure than to Zalensky? Making Putin a martyrFax_Benson
- could create civil war across Russia?Fax_Benson
- Putin is apparently closer to "winning" in the South, so plan B could be to simply annex more territory from Ukraine in that region.yuekit
- And rile up a whole range of dickheads.Fax_Benson
- A friend of mine has close relatives in Russia and they have no idea what the plan was supposed to be.Fax_Benson
- He's flattened the bit he wants to keep.Fax_Benson
- yuekit, he can't annex the south this time because Ukraine isn't accepting it like they did with Crimea (even if they didn't officially) in a full out war.NBQ00
- There'll be counter-attacks in that area and constant ambushes. Russia won't be able to hold those parts.NBQ00
- Crimea was mostly Russians, and Ukraine cut their water after the annexation. But no mistakes, Crimea is still Ukraine territory at the end of the daygrafician
- The more privations you pile onto Russia, the harder their resolve.********
- The sunk cost deepens by the day.. eventually things will go nuclear.********
- Why do you care?grafician
- yeah I don't see what Putin's end game is here, even if he "wins" he loses.

"*Pentagon Sending Soviet Air Defense Systems to Ukraine to Help Fight Russia -- WSJ"
- lol what a move
https://www.wsj.com/…grafician - What does that mean? Soviet era air defence systems? Is pentagon brokering a deal from Poland or some ex-soviet republic?_niko
- Or were these defence systems left over from the sets of red Dawn and Rocky 4? So many questions..._niko
- Oh ok, just saw your link, not sure how that’s possible or if they have enough to actually make a difference but still cool_niko
- From the article, it's mostly old russian systems, but Ukrainians are familiar with those systems and could use themgrafician
- Yeah, that's why they wanted MIGs, no point sending them stuff that requires a few months+ training to use.shapesalad
- +nobody wants to sent new tech.
+training must be held outside the country.
+send the shit what you got and we will give you some new stuff for a discount workssted
