Running Newsticker for the War in Ukraine

Just me being cautious and conservative. Frustrating that there are some in the west that give Putin a pass when he expands the war but when Ukes strike back it’s another story. Just saw a report that the Ukes eliminated 800 invaders yesterday. That is good.

 

Not going to bring Putin to Justice unless Russia can be defeated.

 

My point is that the Ukes will not be able to come down the other way and hit the Kherson area with armor until the land dries up. They will have to cut the land bridge coming down the eastern side. Crossing the river without la ding boats and close air support would it be viable. I do not think that even if the Ukes had the helicopters for an air assault they do not have the fighter aircraft to cover the coppers.

 

while people are arguing about the Ukrainian and Russian languages, I am learning English

 

Good! DOBRE ! ANHLISKA MOBA YE DUZHE VAZHNA Learn English well and doors will open for you. It will drive you crazy. The hardest thing to learn is spelling with silent letters, letters that sound like other letters and words that have multiple meanings and letters can have more than one sound. Take the challenge. Good luck….

Exclusive: Ukrainian troops witnessed Russian soldiers swept away in dam breach floodwaters

Ukrainian troops witnessed Russian soldiers being swept up in flood waters and fleeing the east bank of the Dnipro River after the collapse of the Nova Khakovka dam, an officer in Ukraine's armed forces said. Many Russian troops were killed or wounded in the chaos, according to the officer.



Capt. Andrei Pidlisnyi said when the dam collapsed ……………………….“no one on the Russian side was able to get away. All the regiments the Russians had on that side were flooded.”

Pidlisnyi told CNN he believed the Russians had deliberately attacked the dam to disrupt Ukrainian forces’ plans for an upcoming offensive.

“Around 3 a.m., the enemy blew up the Kakhovka Hydro Power Plant in order to "…"……………………………………………………..make it impossible for the Ukrainian armed forces to advance in the future," he claimed.


Motivation for Russians to blow up the dam in high. Counteroffensive starting soon puts that over the top.

 

@Interaktive Hi mate, you're the language guy....what d'ya reckon...?

The UN celebrating Russian language Day.......I mean.......jeezez friggin christ.......

 

okay....stupid question.
So this dam breach...did it fail or was it detonated....hmmmm....I dunno

 

The UN is primarily at best a useless , toothless , clawless organization.

 

It was under the control of the invading Russians since early 2022 and back last year the Ukrainians did say that the Russians had mined the dam. The timing is unbelievable as it suspicious.

 

aye its a real pisser....the dams been at a critical level and critical central gate pressure for some time now - record water levels of 17.5M with the gates closed/locked/blocked/damaged....who the fuk knows? Anyway in dam terms it wasn't being well looked after....!!

 

yeah...makes you wonder which genius social media manager though that was a great tweet to make....friggin morons

 

That is the understatement of the year.!!! This atrocity is being described as a war crime.

 

Unbelievable.

 

ruZZian military has never been interested in how many of their own people die as a result of their actions. They shell regions with artillery where rebels are hiding, no matter how many ruzzian civilians live there.

 

I think that English is for the elite, and Russian and Ukrainian are for low-status people

 

English is the most widely used languages on earth. It is the language of business and I think that for all practical purposes it replaced the French as the language of diplomacy. The British empire was wide spread and big therefore former colonies use English. Example India and many former African colonies. Of. Purse the US, Australia, Canada ( with French) , Belize, Jamaica, Bermuda etc.

 

Frontline report: Ukraine tricks Russia in the south and establishes wide bridgehead - Euromaidan Press

Comrade Pooteen wants war. So he shall get it.

 

there is a hierarchy of peoples and languages
I read that the peoples of the past French colonies do not want to learn French, in favor of English
it is logical and beneficial
