Troublesome news coming from the South-East of Ukraine.

Although the DNR troops successfully advanced to Mariupol, and about to lock the Ukrainian troops in cauldron, the inhabitants of Mariupol keep on sending SOS to the DNR commandment, because both the Nationalist Battalions and Ukrainian marines that remain there, are blocking the corridor, the safe passage for civilians to leave the city.

The toll of dead civilians is rising elsewhere - in suburbs of Kharkov I hear, no matter how much Russian troops are trying to avoid the losses.

At this point Putin sent delegation to Belorussia, ( Macron kept on doing his job, in spite of the earlier yelling from Washington, so he talked both to Putin and Zelensky, who first refused to participate in negotiations, yet at the end sent the delegation to Belorussia too.)
The negotiations lasted six hours, and the next round is scheduled to come in few days, but I don't think that Russians will stop military operations at this point.

At this point even Turkey turned against the war, which I find hilarious for many reasons:

And I can't begin to think about all of the other sanctions and actions from everywhere...looks like India and Brazil are the only countries being pro-russian and this is for an obvious reason: Brics.



Like I've said the death of civilians and vulnerable people is inexcusable and with the failure of yesterday's negotiations in Belarus it seems as if this is going to continue for a while...no freedom can justify it.

People who are on the side of Ukrainian Nationalists simply HATE Russians.

There would have never been the kind of exchange, with the kind of friendly slang I hear in this case.

With economic warfare, the West needs to do to Russia, what it is doing to Ukraine.

Nonsense. The Russians have precision weapons, and they're attacking dams, petro insfrastructure, civic buildings, and apartment buildings - basically everything is being targeted. It's a calculated campaign of increasing violence on the Ukrainian people and destruction of their nation to terrorize them and break their will. Yes, the Russians can do still worse, and they will - their goal is total surrender of Ukraine.

Yeah, that is how you win a war. That is what the Americans did before invading Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Serbia, etc.

A total blitz. Ukrainian's wanted war and now they got it.

Ukraianians wanted war??? Ukrainians wanted the Russian army out of their country! This is totally unprovoked conquest by Vladimir Putin - who does it because he can.
