Ukraine

Yeah, everyone already knows where the Pentagon and whitehouse are. Well, maybe some really stupid people couldn't find it without Russian help, like Qanon types or Trumpists, but...

Ah, well played Russia.

Evidence contradicts Russian claims about Kremenchuk mall attack

Witness accounts and expert analysis discredit Moscow’s claim fire spread from factory to empty mall

www.theguardian.com

Russia has given its version of the missile strike on the packed shopping centre in Kremenchuk.

Claiming that it struck a nearby factory rather than the shopping centre (despite publicly-viewable CCTV showing a missile directly striking the shopping centre) and claiming the shopping centre was closed and empty (despite the numerous civilians dead, and receipts showing it was definitely open).

So, lying through their teeth to excuse direct targeting of civilians, again-- same story as in Bucha.

This is not too fool us, this is to justify what they did to the Russian people. and sadly many people will believe it in Russia.

Not to mention a few people on these forums.

"We're also publishing the co-ordinates, just in case."
In case of what?!
What is the implied threat being given?

You know, I was going to make a joke about giving information to very specific pilots...

But I thought the better of it as A) Planes seemingly find themselves trapped inside buildings without needing Russian help B) someone would make a conspiracy that Russia feed info to Bin Laden C) the last plane couldn't reach it's target so found the secondary target of a rather large pentagon. It's not hard to spot from the sky

It's quite impressive too lose an Island to a nation that doesn't have a Navy.

Edit: I have heard that this is a win for the world because this will make it easier for Ukraine to ship grain.

Ukraine does have a Navy, though it's not currently active in the Black Sea.

Ukraine, frankly, can't send its navy out. Russia's air superiority would probably result in it being rapidly sunk.

Russia can call this "goodwill", but it also asked Ukraine to remove its mines from Russia's waters in return. I do not think that a fair deal.

Russia has ordered Ukrainian teachers in occupied Ukrainian territory that they must switch to teaching the Russian state curriculum, under penalty of dismissal from their job.

Sort of: multiple local survivors have said that before the Russian retreat, occupiers had forced civilians to wear them, presumably as a form of human shielding.

What's the communist party's stance on Russia? Because if they're a fifth column then its not so much about democracy as it is about treason

Which communist party? Because I'm pretty sure the US doesn't have one, at least not one big enough to fill a phone booth.

The Ukrainian one that got banned.

They've advocated a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the Donbass since 2014. TREASON!

They did a bit more than that, but why let facts get in your way...

I mean, there's plenty of entirely valid reasons to criticize the banning of a political party like this; you don't have to go making shit up along the way.

And still they only got problems now.

When i first heard of it, i was sceptical about it. But now we do know that Russia made arrengements with figureheads for their intended puppet regime. There is a not so small likelyhood that actual treason did occur.

Does such ''peaceful resolution'' involve breaking apart Ukrainian sovereignty and give up Ukrainian territory to a regime that wants to enact ethnic cleansing there? Does this ''peaceful resolution'' come with the idea that Russia has an inherent right to own Ukraine and dictate their policies?

Russia recently introduced stricter measures targeting dissent, including criticism of the military. The first long-term prison sentence under these new measures has now been handed down, as a Moscow Councillor has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for denouncing the invasion.

Pretty sure that peaceful resolution involved Ukraine implementing the diplomatic agreements it made rather than sending Nazi regiments to compel obedience with artillery.

No.
