I would not put it past Russia to attack any humanitarian troops. Claim they were being used as a trojan horse or some story like that. I mean they are kidnapping citizens and sending them to Russia
The French special operations are pretty legit but they won't be sending them in to help. But they do have a decent military and seeing what Russia has done I think the French could smoke them.

Unless they already have a ship there, waiting to cross through the Straits, I would think it is more likely a Greek ship just for time savings.Quote:

This is what I suspect this "white phosphorus" is being used for. I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm not sure it's actually white phosphorus based on a few videos I've watched. It seems like the burning chemical is slowly floating to the ground and isn't really burning anymore by the time it reaches the ground. And we haven't actually seen any reports if people burned by it even though it's been used several different nights there.
"It's hell on Earth," the mother said. They WALKED from sieged Mariupol to Berdiansk, a city under occupation. They were then picked up by volunteers who put them on a train to Lviv. All they had with them was a little carry on, a bag, and a few backpacks. The kids kept a toy.

This is the reality of Russia's brutal war. Ten million people, almost 1/4 of Ukraine's population – displaced, having to begin a new life god knows how far away from home.

The USA uses white phosphorus rounds against vehicles or stuff we want on fire (vehicles weapon stashes, fuel depots, etc.), well that and they apparently work well against Transformers. Also use them as smoke cover
They are gonna have a port security problem offloading dockside ships. Whoever is gonna take that on is gonna have to have their s*** in one sock.
With ~100,000 citizens still trapped in the Mariupol area they will need ships to get them out. You can get a few hundred out on each plane. Lord knows the world doesn't trust the Americans with evacuations after what we did in Afghanistan
did not expect to see a Colin Furze video on this thread but his thermite video was the first thing I thought of when yall described white phosphorous.

1) i don't see the Russians allowing the "nazis" a chance to leave. Not that the civilians are nazis, but their rhetoric to de-nazify will not survive a rescue
2) i thought the port was now under Russian control. Airlift maybe?
I seem to recall being taught that WP was illegal to use against personnel, but ok against equipment. That enemy belt buckle is equipment.*TheCougarHunter said:
WP can only be used as a marking or obscuration device and cannot be used to target personnel.

Is there confirmation they are sending ships on a humanitarian mission?Stat Monitor Repairman said:

With Ukraine advancing 30+ miles in the past 24 hours, is it possible for them to break through to the center of Mariupol before the weekend is out?

Someone clarified this later in the tweet.
"200" is their code for Kia.
So she's saying two from their company killed in action. Including one who got hit by a tank shell.

It looks like Russia's next "phase" is urging to shore up gains in Donbas and other places to claim "victory" and try to disengage. I'm not sure the Ukrainians will let them after all the **** the Russians have done. Part of me wonders of they'll keep attacking the Russians in the south and Donbas just for the opportunity to kill more of them.

Reference from Afghanistan where it was 200 kg of cargo for an average body and coffin.

"So nothing really significant to talk about with respect to Kyiv. The Russians -- we still hold them no closer than they were the last time we talked. They're in defensive positions. It looks like they have stopped really any interest in terms of ground movement towards Kyiv...

So if Putin's no longer is interested in conducting any military action in western Ukraine, does that also include his air force and longer range missiles?

No. He'll continue to do what he can in order to force as many Ukrainian forces as possible to remain in the west so that they can't redeploy to the eastern front. Will be interested to see what type of eastern offensive the Ukrainians can orchestrate.
It's busy tonight in Rzeszow, Poland.

They still have plenty of odds and ends stashed in the west. The 124 is their standard lifter. You may be thinking of the super heavy 225 that was trashed at the start of this?
The Russians' next failure is assuming the Ukrainians will leave them alone and accept the annexation for peace like Crimea. I don't think that happens. They're not afraid of confrontation anymore and they're beyond pissed. I see an insurgency with the thousands of ATGM's and MANPADS Ukraine has. Donbas will be a deathtrap for Russians as they try to live and patrol amongst the most hostile and well armed populace on earth.
Then on to plan D
Then on to plan D
Russian shill account reporting more Bayraktars incoming. Good account to follow for counter point insight if you can stomach the Rooskie and anti-American fanboy circle yerk (it's nauseating).
It's been a while since we saw any Ukrainian TB2 footage; Russian military claims to have destroyed 97% of them so far.
