Hopefully that will get things moving. How many Leopards will Poland give?
It's brilliant idea, andd if they can kill a few Ukranians along the way then the plan has worked.
It seems with the mass sackings about to happen in Ukraine that some people will always try to make money through corruption, even when their country is fighting for survival...
I don't doubt it. In a lot of places that just seems part of life. I mean, look at our own politicians these days!Ukraine is horribly corrupt, and has been since independence. See the Panama papers for just how far that went.
Exciting? See this is probably why history repeats itself, because the younger generation seem to want some real life Call of Duty.
The last I heard Wagner were now recruiting Serbs, they have them in training.80% of convicts Wagner recruited are now dead or wounded and unable to fight
That's not just an indictment of Wagner, it's a window into the atrocious conditions of the front line that 80% of those in the frontal assaults end up dead or seriously injured
I heard a report which sounded like it is true, that Wagner were counting the dead as having deserted so they then didn't have to pay out for a "dead" soldier as they did need to for captured/deserting ones.The last I heard Wagner were now recruiting Serbs, they have them in training.

Eastern Europe is still far worse than western Europe, for most its how it operated when in the USSR, they haven't moved on that much since.
You don't change that sort of culture quickly nor easily.
Not as many as people were expecting, however I would guess this will be the first tranche of many to come, not from just Poland but other nations as well. Good to see the ball rolling now though after far too much dithering.*German Defence Source: Poland Has Requested Approval to Export Up to 14 Leopard 2A4 Tanks to Ukraine
Russia has been saying it's them against the west for a while, and tbh it is really, so we might as well give the Ukranians what they want and make it official...Looks like Russia is making small gains and grinding, really really need to send Ukraine long range strike weapons.
West needs to stop playing the cautious game if it wants to see Ukraine win this war.
