No Russia will start long range missile attacks to goad Ukraine into using their newly purchased own long range missles onto Russian towns for the propaganda.
Ukraine isn't about to waste missiles that it would likely no longer get as a result by using it on soft targets of zero military value. Now if Russia happens to be using towns as a shield for their own ballistic and MLR systems then it becomes questionable, but justifiable if not attacking risks Ukraine's defence.

I'd imagine that Ukraine would prefer plausible deniability through more covert/surgical options instead of blanketing an area with rockets.
 
It's been reported that Spain are refurbishing 40 Leopard 2 they have in storage,tanks to give to Ukraine at the same time 500 Ukrainain soilders have been sent to Latvia to train on these tank systems:

The newspaper said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine might receive about 40 tanks that need to be repaired. They have been in storage facilities of the Spanish army's logistics base in Zaragoza for ten years, and are part of a batch of 108 used units that Berlin sold to Madrid in 1995.

Also, according to El Pais, Spain offered Kyiv to conduct military training in Latvia on their use. The Spanish army has deployed there a contingent of 500 soldiers with six Leopard 2E tanks.

The second stage of instructing Ukrainian tank soldiers will take place in Spain, El Pais reported

40 is a drop in ocean but I guess every bit helps.
 
I haven't seen this claimed at all and I've spent way too much time following this. What people have claimed, and could be the case, is that they've burned through a high percentage of their precision missile stock that will be difficult to replace due to sanctions. I doubt anyone really knows how true this is but they certainly don't seem to be using as many as they were in the early weeks of the war.
Well it was said here in these forums plenty of times.

Only an idiot would believe this. The Ukrainian armed forces actually posted something a while back saying such rumours are harmful to them.

Again posted on these very forums you are on plenty of times, only seems to be me who disputes these claims. Lets see you dispute it next time stuff like this gets posted and see how many names you get called.
oh wait you wont like most others here as they are afraid of getting called names.

You get called a Putin supporter when you repost Russian propaganda like this:

How many here cannot tell the difference between posting propaganda which plenty of you do and questioning the propaganda which is something I do.

Taking 500 tankers/mechanics away from the front lines for weeks of training abroad is a brave choice by Ukraine. Hopefully it's not seen a waste in hindsight, depending on how quickly they can get hold of the Leo2's and also if Russia doesn't push somewhere new and stretch the UA. It's one of the common themes I've seen a lot of so far with lots of online chat wondering why the UA hasn't been sending troops away to get trained on new equipment possibly without realising just how important having enough bodies to throw at the Russian's has been at the start, meaning there's very little "spare" to send away.
 
I don't think you will find many people who aren't aware that was propaganda...
Its been posted several times, even as far as around a week or two ago, I've never seen you question these ridiculous claims people keep making. You make it sound in your post as if you aren't that stupid to fall for it yet you become very silent when the posts are made.
No - people get called those things when they question Ukrainian propaganda by repeating the Russian propaganda...
Which part of what I post is Russian propaganda ? give me a link to some Russian(propaganda) site and then tell me which part I have copied. In English btw as calling me comrade weirdly doesn't improve my Russian.

Do you prefer the term Sympathetiser?

Ukraine have plenty of reservists, what they lack is equipment, it is only in the last few weeks that they've been standing up new battalions to be able to fight because they now have the equipment to equip them with.
Ukraine had something like 900k reservists before they even started just conscripting any men of fighting age, there aren't anywhere ebar 900k Ukrainians on the front lines.

No, because you're mixing up artillery with long range cruise missiles. Nobody I've seen has suggested they're about to run out of artillery shells, unless their supply lines are cut. Running short on cruise missiles? Yes, absolutely. The sanctions imposed will see their production reduced too. That's why they've used them sparingly and we've not seen 100's of them raining down on targets every night. It's not even a slight on the Russians or their capabilities tbh, even the yanks almost exhausted their supplies in the ME. It's the primary drawback of such weapons, you'll never produce them faster than they're used. It's also why they've spent so much money researching rail guns and the like. Much less $/shot, can store much more of them and no danger of ammo cook off if hit.
 
Spain to deliver AA missiles to Ukraine

Also Greece has given away:
1. 122 BMP-1 & ammunition
2. 15.000 73mm shells
3. 20.000 AK47's
4. 2100 12mm rockets
5. 3.2 million 7.62mm rounds for AK47's
6. 60 FIM-92 stingers
7. 17.000 155mm artillery shells
8. 1.100 RPG-18's

Holy.....

Frankly, I don't even care what Russia's government goals are. They are lying scumbags that care nothing for human life, not even that of their own military forces. Scorch and burn like it's a world war.

There is no liberation. Everything is a lie from them.

All about the oil/gas money, it's the only thing left.

I won't post a screenshot but the map shows around 1/2 of Severodonetsk is now under Ukrainian control and Russian forces pulling back to the outskirts of the city. Probably only a matter of time before Russia has another crack at trying to drive the Ukrainian's out of the city but I would be curious to know just how many casualties Russia has sustained so far in trying to capture this city.

By people who are confused by artillery vs missiles probably.

oh wait you wont like most others here as they are afraid of getting called names.

I really doubt anyone seriously believes a single fighter pilot shot down whole squadrons of enemy planes!

How many here cannot tell the difference between posting propaganda which plenty of you do and questioning the propaganda which is something I do.

Funny that you don't seem to question Russian propaganda and just repeat it verbatim though :cry:.
