Per the Ukrainian side, it sunk after a day or so. No confirmation from Russia.FCBlitz said:
Have we seen good info about the sinking of the same naval ship that attacked snake island?
These civilians who keep discussing "the Russians can never take Kyiv" are fairly clueless.PJYoung said:How long has Russia stood outside Hostomel, Irpin and Brovary now? Almost two weeks I think, and they think they can take Kyiv? Really.

Yep I have been saying this for awhile. avg rusky artillery is good for almost 18 miles. They either don't have to take if nothing left or anybody to defend.

the Russians don't have to run tanks and infantry into the center of the city and capture Zelensky..
they can sit in their trenches all around Kyiv, just like they are now.
they can point their artillery tubes at Kyiv just like they are doing now. They can bring up MLRS and thermobaric launchers. They can position Sukhois.
and then they can wipe Kyiv off the map.
while their troops remain 9 miles away from Kyiv.
why is this so hard to understand? particularly as that is what Russia did to Grozny and Aleppo?

They can't do that to Kyiv and face their own people. Putin has been going on and own about how Kyiv was the cradle of Russia. There is a lot of Russian history there, and I don't think the Russian cover story can hold up for their own people if they spend a couple of weeks shelling Kyiv to pieces ala Grozny or Aleppo. These are not brown Muslims that the Russians won't care about. These are people who look just like Russians and who Putin is telling his people actually ARE Russian.LMCane said:These civilians who keep discussing "the Russians can never take Kyiv" are fairly clueless.PJYoung said:How long has Russia stood outside Hostomel, Irpin and Brovary now?

They have been preparing for this for at least FIVE years.
Kyiv ain't no Aleppo nor Grozny. Miles of underground tunnels and shelters with food, arms and other supply caches everywhere.
More like a siege on Moscow or Tehran.
Multiple sources say that 🇺🇦 forces knocked out the whole command of 🇷🇺 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade BTG in an ambush. This would mean the BTG is out. This unit was part of the little green men in Crimea in 2014.

It the Russian forces moving down on Kyiv overextend and don't protect their flanks, they can be cut off and caught between the city and an attack from the outside, and am caught likewise in their own kill zone.

Did I miss something? When did Russia get enough of a foothold to start targeting Lviv? By my understanding, that was still fairly out of their reach. I hope everyone there stays safe.Rossticus said:

Have they been doing this the whole time and I just haven't heard of it, or is this due to recent developments in positioning that would allow for these attacks?ABATTBQ11 said:
