Luxury goods from famous UK brands that are STILL on sale in Moscow
At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you'll find Russia's most famous shopping mall.
Seems Russia are finding ways to bypass sanctions at least to keep the Muscovites happy
And their arms industry too
Bakhmut will just be another Izium where Russia lost 10k soldiers only for it to be taken back in an offensive within two days!
Ukraine depleting Russia hopefully Ukraine troops dont get fully encircled though in Bakhmut the South West sector is looking pretty bad right now.

India is already walking close to the line by changing suppliers from Oman to Russia taking advantage of Russia's weakness on energy customers. If they supplied weapons to the Kremlin it would trigger a foreign policy disaster for them. Also weigh it against how much western money is propping up their economy the cost/benefit, risk/reward ratios don't line up imo.
Fek them, take the fighters into Russia, ammo dumps and any other bases they hold equipment.
Tying their hands behind their backs will not win this war.
They need to be able to hit inside Russia now, red lines are already ignored, take some of the fight to Russia.
India is already deeply involved with Russia, they are walking a fine line.
Whether the West keep turning a blind eye to this is a wait and see scenario.
They'll try. Sure.

I wonder what the average age is in this thread? If our present and future politicians have been educated in the same way the world is screwed.

The president of Russia who wants this conflict is a 70 year old guy, are you calling all of us old?

Interesting, shows this isn't just sending old gear but long term plans coming into shape. Tank shells, artillery shells, AA rounds for the Gepard and HIMARs - very useful.

Sounds like that's the tactics of the Ukrainians, contain the oncoming onslaught until the opponent's are so ground down and demoralised then go on the snap attack. It worked in Izium and Kherson, quite clever really

Like most of the detractors they have no actual idea and are trying their best not to post what they really think, because the rest of us would just laugh at them for being naïve.
Instead of posting answers they will instead question you and try to paint you as being wrong, because they have nothing.

There is a delicate balance there - if Ukraine starts wrecking Russia on home soil then Russia will have little choice but to declare war and fully mobilise which isn't something Ukraine is ready for.
Stuff like launch sites, etc. Russia can hardly complain as they've not officially declared war.
