Russia is winning the war.

Russia controlled 22% of Ukrainian territory in March. Russia controls 19% in August. The tide of the war has shifted against Russia.

It’s only a matter of time until Ukraine’s current government collapses.

You have been saying that for 6 months now and it hasn’t happened.

You must have missed the state department calling for all US citizens to evacuate Ukraine.

1. That is old news.
2. Any new warnings is because Russia is planning on committing lots of war crimes by launching a terror bombing campaign against civilian targets in Ukraine. Not because Russia is winning.
3. Did you ever learn to read a map?

I can't believe this! The State Department is telling US Citizens to avoid a country that's actively engaged in a war?!?! I can't believe that. The only possible explanation is that Russia is hours away from marching on Kyiv

quote:

---

The State Department issued that in light of it being Ukrainian independence day and the likelihood of Russian strikes around the holiday. The Ukrainians have their civil servants off work and aren't having public celebrations because of the likelihood of the Russians trying to put a turd in the punchbowl for propagandistic effect.

that was my point lol. its not some shock the state department says....hey get out of that war torn country

Nearly $3 Billion in Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine
Aug. 24, 2022

Attributed to Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder:

On August 24, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced approximately $3 billion in additional security assistance for Ukraine under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).

This USAI package, which is being announced on Ukraine Independence Day, underscores the U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine over the long term – representing a multi-year investments to build the enduring strength of Ukraine’s Armed Forces as it continues to defend its sovereignty in the face of Russian aggression. Unlike Presidential Drawdown (PDA), which DoD has continued to leverage to deliver equipment to Ukraine from DoD stocks at a historic pace, USAI is an authority under which the United States procures capabilities from industry. This announcement represents the beginning of a contracting process to provide additional priority capabilities to Ukraine in the mid- and long-term to ensure Ukraine can continue to defend itself as an independent, sovereign and prosperous state. It is the biggest tranche of security assistance for Ukraine to date. Capabilities include:

Six additional National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) with additional munitions for NASAMS;
Up to 245,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition;
Up to 65,000 rounds of 120mm mortar ammunition;
Up to 24 counter-artillery radars;
Puma Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and support equipment for Scan Eagle UAS systems;
VAMPIRE Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems;
Laser-guided rocket systems;
Funding for training, maintenance, and sustainment.

The United States has committed more than $13.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since January 2021. In total, the United States has committed more than $15.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since 2014.

Through both PDA and USAI, DoD continues to work with Ukraine to meet both its immediate and longer-term security assistance needs.

Together with our Allies and partners, our unified efforts will help Ukraine continue to be successful today and build the enduring strength of their forces to ensure the continued freedom and independence of the Ukrainian people for years to come.

They wanted 5 fifths of it.

Bad day for Russian oligarch Gennady Ayvazyan as his $50,000,000 yacht has a bit of a list off Italy.

Saw that yesterday. Apparently the yacht was old design were part of the engine room door is below the water line and the door was not sealed properly. I thought about how this might be possible. Maybe the engine room was taking on water through the faulty door located at the back of the tender garage during rough seas and by the time the captain and crew noticed it was too late. They probably noticed once they lost power then called for help. The yacht sank while under tow.
