Russian officials and state media largely refrained from publicly discussing the two-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, likely in an effort to avoid addressing Russia’s failure to achieve its stated war aims at significant human costs. Russian opposition outlet Agentstvo Novosti reported on February 25 that Russian state TV channels Rossiya 1 and Channel One (Perviy Kanal) and Gazprom Media-owned TV channel NTV did not mention the two-year anniversary of the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in broadcasts on February 24.

 

Indeed.

Another day another obstacle surmounted.

“The Minister of Infrastructure, Oleksandr Kubrakov, stated that the volume of exports by sea has almost reached the pre-war level.
“Due to the blocked exports on the western border, we are preparing to increase agricultural exports through the Danube, bypassing the border with Poland,” Kubrakov noted. Currently, the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyy await another 111 ships, which will export 3.3 million tons of cargo.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, since the beginning of the new marketing season, February 23, Ukraine exported 28.15 million tons of grain and legumes.”

French president says sending troops to Ukraine cannot be ruled out

From CNN's Amy Cassidy

Sending Western troops to Ukraine “cannot be ruled out," French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday after hosting a conference in Paris where European leaders discussed the prospect.

There was “no agreement this evening to officially send troops onto the ground but we cannot exclude anything,” he told reporters.

The aid conference for Ukraine brought together representatives of the European Union’s 27 member countries including 21 heads of state and governments, he said.

“We will do anything we can to prevent Russia from winning this war,” Macron said. “And I say this with determination, but also with a collective humility that we need to have, in the light of the last two years."

“The people that said 'never ever' today were the same ones who said never ever planes, never ever long-range missiles, never ever trucks. They said all that two years ago. A lot around this table said that 'we will offer helmets and sleeping bags,' and now they are saying we need to do more to get missiles and tanks. We have to be humble and realize that we (have) always been six to eight months late," Macron said.

Macron also announced a new coalition would be set up to supply medium and long-range “missiles and bombs” to Ukraine. EU leaders and government representatives “decided to step up the munitions side and produce tangible results very quickly” across the eight coalitions that already exist, he said.​

Western troops would certainly be arriving late, but as they say, better late than never. I like the phrase “We will do anything we can to prevent Russia from winning this war.” Anything we can would obviously include sending western forces into Ukraine. It should also include more deliveries of weapon systems and munitions to the Ukrainians, of course. Actual deliveries have been far below what has been promised, and that is shameful. It's not a good look to make and break promises.

 

I'm not really surprised at seeing this....I vaguely remember mentioning similar.

Not quite. Your disinformation agents like to find nut cases in the west, feed them Kremlin disinformation and propaganda, then amplify every stupid thing they write or say as they regurgitate it. It's a way for your propagandists to launder their disinformation and propaganda (активние мероприятия).

Russian forces are attempting to exploit tactical opportunities offered by the Russian seizure of Avdiivka and appear to be maintaining a relatively high tempo of offensive operations aimed at pushing as far as possible in the Avdiivka area before Ukrainian forces establish more cohesive and harder-to-penetrate defensive lines in the area. Russian forces temporarily decreased their tempo of operations as they cleared Avdiivka following the Russian seizure of the settlement on February 17, but have since resumed a relatively high tempo of assaults further west and northwest of Avdiivka.

Update from Ukraine | Surprise from Ukraine on the East | Ruzzian command base ambushed




This is the flag of the astroturf "separatist" movement that ruZZia foments in Moldova. Just in case anyone had any doubt that modern ruZZia is USSR 2.0

 

Yep....Mafiosi has probably issued the marching orders already....it's a green light shortly after the "elections" on March.

-Sweden has joined NATO
- Lithuanian ministers issues warning on Konigsberg....saying it will be "neutralized" if NATO attacked
-F16s and Gripens for Ukraine...possibly Mirage fighters.
-Macron indicates possible boots on the ground in Ukraine

RuZzki milbloggers cackling like chickens in a coop...over the prospects of this.

 

More progress as Ukraine continues to mind its business as it cripples Russia.

“The Japanese government delegation, led by Prime Minister of Japan Kishida Fumio, pledged long-term support for Ukraine's recovery through public-private partnership. The Ukrainian delegation, led by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, thanked Japan for its assistance and invited Japanese businesses to invest in Ukraine's reconstruction. Each delegation consisted of more than 100 government and corporate officials. In total, around 300 people and 130 companies took part in the conference. The two governments agreed to cooperate on seven key areas: land mine action and debris clearance, humanitarian aid and livelihood reconstruction, agricultural development, biotechnology, digital and information technology, transportation and energy infrastructure, and anti-corruption and governance-strengthening measures.

In his keynote speech, Prime Minister Kishida described supporting Ukraine's recovery from the ongoing war as "investing in the future," and called on the international community to contribute. “Japan’s public and private sectors will all work together through an all-Japan approach, utilizing the knowledge derived from Japan’s postwar and disaster reconstruction efforts,” he said in his speech. “The promotion of economic reconstruction, however, is not only investment for the future of Ukraine but also investing in Japan and the whole globe.” He outlined new initiatives for Japan's public and private sectors to support Ukraine. Kishida also announced that Japan would ease entry visa requirements for Ukrainian citizens involving in Japan-Ukraine cooperation projects.”

Russia-Ukraine war | Germany's Scholz undermines his country's leading role | DW News

In this exclusive interview with DW's Ines Pohl, retired US Army officer Ben Hodges discusses German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's announcement that there are British troops in Ukraine before the UK has announced it, and why it seems inadvisable for Scholz to rule out Germany sending its own troops to Ukraine. Hodges also touches on the oft-mentioned subject of what the chances really are that Putin would deploy his nuclear arsenal.​

Pro-Russian Moldovan breakaway region Transnistria held the Seventh Congress of Transnistrian Deputies on February 28 and adopted a series of decisions that likely aim to provide the Kremlin with justifications for a wide range of possible escalatory actions against Moldova — actions the Kremlin can pursue both immediately and over the long-term. The Congress of Transnistrian Deputies adopted seven decisions, including a request to the Russian State Duma and Federation Council for Russian “defense” of Transnistria in response to alleged increasing pressures from Moldova. Transnistrian officials specifically used “zashchita” (защита), a word that means both “defense” and “protection” in their request, likely to set conditions for the Kremlin to interpret “defense” in a military sense if it so chooses.

 

Can't see how Moscow can intervene militarily....unless after Putlers "election" and mass mobilization.
