Did I just hear that Ukrainian drones took out that 3 mile convoy?
I hope so. Those drones are fricking shite up and showing that modern warfare isn’t done with tanks and artillery anymore.
Russia is decades behind the curve and honestly nukes and missiles is all they have
I just hope they won’t resort to using nukes

EU right?
Just hope they can put something on that convoy.
Also saw something about a major landing new Odessa expected, having launched from Crimea

Any reports on how many fighter jets Ukraine still has?
I feel like at this time drone count is probably more important for them
The EU planes were supposed to have arrived but we'll see

This is a pretty interesting Twitter thread. Really long and gets into the weeds on some stuff, but provides a whole lot of context that makes some sense. I don’t this guy’s background or credibility. Just found his perspective interesting.

[The Guardian] Ukraine’s state special communications service has said fighters from Belarus are en route towards Ukraine.
quote:
“Fighters from Belarus are now flying towards Ukraine,” the agency said in a statement on its Telegram account about 2am local time (12am GMT).
A video accompanying the statement purports to show aircraft in the night sky from Zhlobino in the Gomel region of Belarus.
The nationality of the forces remains unclear.

[The Guardian] Rouble crashes 30% as market opens
The rouble plunged nearly 30% to an all-time low versus the US dollar on Monday as markets openbed for trading on the first day after western nations announced punishing economic sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
The rouble dropped to as low as 119 per dollar, and was last down 28.77% at 118 from its closing price 83.64 on Friday.
The sanctions include blocking some Russian banks from the Swift international payments system, leading investors to anticipate a run on the Russian currency as people try to change their money for dollars and other denominations.
“The escalating crisis in Ukraine will force markets to price in a substantially higher geopolitical risk premium,” strategists at the Australian bank Westpac said on Monday. “The Ukrainian situation is volatile.”

Sooooo...
Belarus is now just a staging ground for everyone?

That would back up the claim that Belarus is planning a large air drop.

Congrats, Putin. You've made Sweden break their neutrality for the first time in 210 years.
If anything good comes from this maybe it will make Western Europe finally uncuck themselves

A gigantic air drop into a city where the defenders have a 4 hour notice seems like it's fricking stupid

Shoygu is a murky character for sure. I was telling this chick who lives with me and has babies that he might get fired. Then it was reported (falsely, but still) that the other guy, his subordinate with actual combat training, got fired. IDK.

I have a feeling they are going from facilitating to participating soon.

It seems that way because it is. Surely they wouldn't go through with it, right?

If Russia (or those in common defense agreements with them) did not have nuclear weapons, do you think we would be providing aerial assistance over Ukraine? I think NATO would have had planes in the air the second Russia crossed the border.
We'd be bombing Moscow right now if they didn't have nukes

Good news: Sweden is sending weapons
Bad news: Gotta assemble them yourself

No we wouldn’t. We’d possibly be hitting some military targets within Russia, but not Moscow proper.
