If it was critical they wouldn't have made it near impossible to defend by turning it into rubble surely?
Ukraine made them bleed for that town, all they need to do is keep a small group there to tie up the troops and it keeps the Russians holding it out the game .

Ukrain can use arty to keep their heads down and it's basically trapped them in that town.
 
Considering he's a much more valuable asset for Russia as a fighter pilot surely they'd do a decent trade for him?

I'm guessing Ukraine either didn't get the trade they wanted or just won't trade pilots?
na you don't want to be giving pilots back tbh, they are rare and keeping hold of them is the best thing to do.
 
Von Der Leyen is a good choice, if you have a whimsical sense of humour.

She is all too familiar with criminal and corruption trials, having herself been at the receiving end of enough of them <LOL>

That sounds intriguing. List all the criminal and corruption trials Von Der Leyen has been at the receiving end of.

OK, here are a couple, do some Googling on the woman.

Cronyism over German defence ministry contracts: https://www.politico.eu/article/the-scandal-hanging-over-ursula-von-der-leyen/


Pfizer corruption scandal involving Von der Layen investigation:
The European Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into the EU’s coronavirus vaccine purchases, an announcement that will refocus attention on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s role in the matter, – POLITICO reports.


The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), and independent EU body, is responsible for investigating and prosecuting financial crimes, including fraud, money laundering and corruption, according to the report.


In its announcement the body did not specify who was being investigated, or which contracts were the subject of inquiry. But that said, two other watchdog agencies have brought attention to the von der Leyen – Pfizer deal.


The woman's like "Teflon" Keith Vaz, but EU monetary scandal is widesperead, currently high ranking members of the EU are being investigated for accepting literally suitcases full of cash from Qatar for their part in cronyism. Pots calling kettles black springs to mind.

You didn't list any criminal or corruption trials, so the number of those appears to be zero, which neatly refutes your previous claim. Probably a good idea to take the L and quietly move on.

You did show that there were questions raised four years ago over possible cronyism in her awarding of contracts. And yes, there are concerns over her lack of transparency during the Pfizer contract negotiations. But still no evidence of corruption or criminal activity.
