Also someone has already pointed this out to the firm of solicitors on twitter.

None of that covers Ukrainians with Ukrainian family in the UK.

It does if you read it.

They should apply through a VAC.

They just don't have a 24 hour fast tracked process. I'm happy for our government to be prioritising family members of British Nationals for the fast tracking.

It’s mind boggling. If they get air superiority, they can then precision bomb from high altitude using laser guided weapons. Surely they they must have these?

Yeah they have laser guided and GPSski guided bombs, you just don't hear about them much as they normally use cluster bombs which are cheaper and more effective.

 

[steve45]

someone has to be on the ground with a laser though.

seems like Russias modern army was all fake news so far, it's like they rounded up a bunch of conscripts and pointed them towards ukraine with any old crap they could find in a barn

Whats becoming more and more apparent by the day is that none of this was actually planned out. This is seeming to be a knee jerk reaction. either they didnt plan properly or the plan wasnt disseminated properly to the troops on the ground.

Wife's friends in Ukraine are saying a big attack is about to start "hit us with all the have".

No point in wasting weapons they might need against NATO when they can just drop a cluster of HE bomblets and probably hit something.

 

[arknor]

Was Russias bombing of Syria accurate or just crap bombs? anyone know?

maybe they have nothing they are prepared to use in a built up area.

Putin could be giving the orders and generals are refusing to commit war crimes, the more Russia struggles the more people will be thinking about their own skin I guess.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

They blew up a huge oil storage in Kyiv, the sky is lit in Kyiv.

 

[m@rty]

Just like the Asians abstained right?

Wrong. Do I really need to teach you what the “A” stands for in UAE?

 

[muon]

Just stop being obtuse. 99% of Arabs don't live in the UAE.

Their actual collective noun is Emiratis anyway.

 

[Nerusy]

Wrong. Do I really need to teach you what the “A” stands for in UAE?

Oh come on you're being unreasonable. Saying "Arabs" is misleading when you meant UAE.

if that fails then wot?

Bureaucracy should certainly take priority over humanitarianism.

£3,000 to enter if they're approved.

 

[wildman]

if that fails then wot?

Putin ends up in the Siberian Tundra with a few bullets in the back of his head I guess ?

Would be the best outcome right about now.

 

[NickK]

Russian attack style - cheap and lots of it. Favour hardwearing. There was an example SU that they started after sitting rotting for 65 years:

God knows. This entire thing is crazy.

Suppose they'll be some good lessons for military academies in how not to invade another country.

 

[kindai]

Crazy that Russia still doesn't control the skies, hasn't knocked out all the air defences and the Ukraine SRBM's are still active... their ability to get intel is shockingly bad

The initial strikes and cruise missiles took out old known locations but failed on the new updated systems.

You jest... This will be studied for years to come.

I fear Russia is going back to the tactis they know well with these poor results, what they used in Syria. Flattent everything with artillery first before going in with groundtroops
