If BUCHA wasn't barbarity then what is?The Russians are the ones who invaded Ukraine and decimated downs and cities, LOOK AT BUCHA, rape and murder galore.
Why is it you are always in with the BOTH SIDES tripe, or QUICK to defend or deflect anything for Russia. As soon as something paints Russia in a bad light (not that it takes much to do that) BUT BUT BUT BUT UKRAINE.
You cant be THAT CONTRARIAN, it doesn't matter Russia are the aggressors here it doesn't matter how you spin it.
They almost had Kyiv in the opening stages of the invasion. it was down to the complete failure of the raid on Hostomel airport and sheer incompetence of the traffic jam of military equipment on the road from the Belarus border. Ukraine slowed them down with surprisingly stout defence and flooding the low ground to the north of Kyiv. Pretty much ground the northern assault to a complete halt and eventually forcing a retreat.Jesus did Russia get that close (bucha) to the capital on the west.. was that early days? Seems so long ago.

I'm no master strategist, however, I genuinely think if they had managed to hold and reinforce the assault on the Hostomel Airport and established a functioning airhead, they could have possibly been successful in decapitating the Ukrainian Government in the opening weeks and forced a capitulation of Ukrainian forces.
Some Villages north of Kyiv had to defend themselves with villagers getting guns and explosives and setting up ambushes. This was because Kyiv did not expect to be attacked from Belarus so almost the entire defensive force was sent to the East, because of this Russia made rapid gains in the North and South but couldn't consolidate
All TV channels in Kyiv were showing instructions to make Molotov cocktails and homemade bombs to ambush the Russians coming for Kyiv
Luckily the the Russians couldn't consolidate as even with Kyiv poorly defended, it was just enough to delay the Russians for reinforcements to arrive and push the Russians out
Recommend watching this video, it shows from the perspective of when the reinforcements arrived to push the Russians from Kyiv
Amazingly the thing that went most wrong for them at the start was **** poor communication and timing, once their ground forces burst through from Belarus they got picked up by all the CCTV in the area and so Ukraine knew it was on and to go to full alert. This meant that although their paratroopers had managed to take/secure the airfield they needed to their reinforcements hadn't taken off yet and so with Ukraine hitting full alert they got blasted out of the sky. This meant that the guys holding the airfield didn't have the numbers, heavy weapons and air defences to hold it and so they got slaughtered.I'm no master strategist, however, I genuinely think if they had managed to hold and reinforce the assault on the Hostomel Airport and established a functioning airhead, they could have possibly been successful in decapitating the Ukrainian Government in the opening weeks and forced a capitulation of Ukrainian forces.
Yeah this kind of stuff happened in a number of Ukrainian villages in the early days of the war, but the absolute best was the village where the "invasion" went down like so:Some Villages north of Kyiv had to defend themselves with villagers getting guns and explosives and setting up ambushes.

and that repairing/upgrading old SAMs and building new ones was simply beyond a Ukrainian, a delusion I now believe extended beyond Russia's troll farms and into their very military.
Not goodDeparture of up to 10 Tu-95ms from Olenia airport

So orban could potentially become the president of the EU.
Couldn't make this up if true.
