Allegedly Putin is hiding in underground bunkers. With this news, I guess the parade in a few days might not be such a party after all. I hope the Moscow mob can get the job done and end this foolish war of aggression against Ukraine.

(32,490 posts)Ukraine is systematically destroying Russian air detection and missile batteries. The Russian Army at the front will have no logistics resupply and support from the back office. They are doomed. 200K+ Russian infantry on the frontlines with no support.
The end, for Vlad, is near.

(5,463 posts)a valid argument for the Krasnodar region all the way to the Caucus Mountains, excluding the Chechen area. In 1792, Catherine the Great of Russia granted Ukrainian Cossacks, in her "1792 Charter of Grant" the rights to Kuban lands for eternity (the area is known by many as "Kuban" due to the Kuban river running through it). The Cossacks founded the administrative center of Yekaterinodar (literally "Catherine's gift" ) in 1794 (now Krasnodar, Russia). The Kuban region was one of the regions that suffered greatly during the Holodomor. Russia's way of ethnically cleansing the area of Ukrainians.
Putin's palace is in this region. On Edit: If these lands were Ukrainian, Ukraine and Georgia would share a border.

A friend of mine has spent quite a bit of time in Ukraine and Georgia. I'm sure he has some history lessons for me.

(32,490 posts)Worked for 6 months. Then Ukraine changed the rules of the game. The current Russian military hierarchy (what's left) have no clue. How could they? This wasn't a war that they were trained for.
I wonder how Ukrainian drone pilots (best in the world, bar none) will live with their ghosts?

(32,490 posts)Russia is firing missile/drones into civilian population centers.
Zelenskyy is talking about "mirror strikes" in the future. I think it's time Russia experienced what Russia's war machine has laid on Ukraine's civil population.
