Russia will have a colossal frontier with NATO at the end of this from the Black See to Baltic, including manning Bslarus and possibly up to the Artic circle. He has made real the very threat he claims to fear
Clearly plan A was a rapid light invasion to try and secure victory quickly. This has failed so tomorrow will be plan B. This is going to be heavier armour I expect. Let’s hope there’s lots of javelins and nlaws left.Someone claiming to be from Rostov on one of the live streams saying they are monitoring the radio frequencies and all the talk is of resting and regrouping today and they aren't expecting any significant action.
(Would have thought military would have been using encryption or other methods of obfuscating their comms mind).

"Ukraine’s Air Force says Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-27 downed two Russian Su-30s in dogfight"
Major embarrassment for Russia if true xD (the Su-30 is an improved Su-27 so it was purely pilot skill)
Rumours of a Ukraine pilot today downing at least 5 russian aircraft, being called the Ghost of Kyiv! Could be a load of rubbish but if true this guy is a bad ass
There was a report that some shells had hit it. I was waiting for more confirmation before posting that. We’ll need to wait and see if that’s confirmed as it’s significant.Don't know how to confirm this but there are alleged increases in radiation around Chernobyl.
Can't link to it due to content but video of the aftermath of that armour getting hit while civilians stood watching nearby posted awhile back - doesn't look like it went well for the Russian forces involved - by the looks of it multiple knocked out light and medium armoured vehicles and multiple dead in Russian uniforms for the loss of 1 Ukrainian armoured vehicle. Just begs the question what Russia are playing at.
it would probably lead to WW3/nukes being launchedWhy cant Ukraine be immediately signed into NATO and then it would get the full support needed?
What is stopping this from happening? I ask as i really dont know.
