  1. Zelensky, who never served in the military, does not understand military dynamics, just like Biden. The invaders must be contained by giving them their Crimea and Donbas. This is indeed not 2014. This time 190.000 troops surrounded and partly invaded Ukraine. Enough to take Ukraine and Poland together. Tough talk and sanctions while ruSSian troops are already moving in could escalate things into an ugly direction, since Nato does not want to intervene. Putin has the better hand this time, thanks to our weak wankers in Washington.

  2. “New York – 82 mm mortars.”

    I’m really to understand why this was mentioned in the list. Typo? A word suggester or speech-to-text goof?

      • Since when did 120mm mortars range to 20 miles, the distance between Mariupol and the line of contact? The 122mm arty is quite plausible.

        These violations will increase in number and intensity. Putin has no plans to stop until he has all of Ukraine.
