re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Ukraine can use Swedish weapons to attack on Russian soil. Since the Swedes have given Ukraine a number of Archer SPGs (and the Archer is really the world's best artillery piece), this is significant.

What then is Sweden's stance? Is Ukraine allowed to use the weapons we handed over to attack targets on Russian territory? I put the question to Defense Minister Pål Jonson and received this written answer: "Ukraine is exposed to an unprovoked and illegal war of aggression by Russia. According to international law, Ukraine has the right to defend itself through military actions aimed at the enemy's territory as long as the military actions comply with the laws of war. Sweden stands behind international law and Ukraine's right to defend itself."

44 wounded, 14 killed, including a 12-year-old girl and her mother. 7 people remain missing, according to the Kharkiv Prosecutor's Office.
The prosecutor's office also released new footage of the moment of the Russian attack on a hypermarket in Kharkiv.

Embarrassing that Sweden has more balls than our Admin. Hopefully Blinkin is successful in his effort to convince the Prez we need to take (at least some of) the gloves off.

Doubtful. President is napping at home in Delaware before Matlock comes on.

What's the saying? Something about doing the right thing, after all other options have been exhausted.
Momentum is certainly building for a policy change.

Why do you never link articles about the daily Belgorod terrorist attacks?

Since Russia is abusing our humanity by launching attacks openly from right across the border, the abuse of our humanity should lead to a change.

Does cypher work for you? Normally, people post what they want to post. That's how TD works.

The only way to put an instant end to this is to play nuclear brinksmanship...
How would America react to that?
The Kremlin threatens Nuclear War over every action anybody else takes... it's their one hand to play.
Now, if Poland goes nuclear, will they be as afraid of playing chicken with Russia as the US?
WIll China adopt Nuclear threats as a way to exert its claim over Thailand?
As North Korea develops longer-range missiles, will they start more directly threatening Japan and whoever else?
We managed to have a Cold War-free 30 years of not worrying about nuclear war... maybe that's all we get, because human beings are just awful.

A Churchill quote "America can be counted on to do the right thing after all other options are exhausted."
In context trying to keep staff morale up as they tried to convince the U.S. to enter the war.

Russia has accidentally bombed its own cities over 20 times in recent months

The report claimed there were up to 20 “lost munitions accidentally dropped in the Belgorod region” in March and April alone.

Earlier this month, reports circulated that a Russian 1,100-lb FAB-500 bomb fell on a civilian area of Belgorod on May 4. Thirty houses were damaged, and five people were injured.
Thanks for the question.

This iPhone was made in China... and they built something in that autocorrects "Taiwan" to "Thailand" if you aren't vigilant enough to spot it.
Just goes to show how they can't be trusted!

ISW Update

Key Takeaways:
Russian forces are reportedly concentrating forces of unspecified size in western Belgorod Oblast near the border with Ukraine, likely to fix and draw Ukrainian forces to the area and prepare for offensive operations that aim to expand the Russian foothold in the international border area in northeastern Ukraine.
Western officials continue to publicly debate Ukraine's right to use Western-provided weapons to strike military targets in Russia amid Russian efforts to persuade the West to continue its self-imposed limitations and divide the NATO alliance.
Russia's defense industrial base (DIB) will reportedly manufacture and refurbish three times as many artillery shells as the West will produce in 2024, although Russian shells reportedly suffer from quality-control issues and Ukrainian artillery is reportedly more precise than Russian artillery.
Kremlin officials continue to indicate that Russia is not interested in meaningful negotiations with Ukraine and promote Kremlin information operations that aim to push the West to make concessions on Ukraine's sovereign territory and people.
Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Svatove, Avdiivka, and Donetsk City.
Former Wagner Group fighters reportedly continue to form new units under Rosgvardia and Chechen Akhmat Spetsnaz.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 27 May 2024
The Russian MOD's main political directorate issued Politruk, a new journal for political instruction for the Armed Forces on 22 May 2024. The journal is intended to help political instructors in the Armed Forces in their political education of soldiers. An introductory article by Deputy Defence Minister Gen-Col Viktor Goremykin, who heads the Main Political Directorate of the Armed Forces, makes clear that the new journal draws heavily on the legacy of Soviet era military publications aimed at the political education of military personnel. A Main Political Directorate was set up in the MOD in 2018, as it was felt then that it was necessary to re-introduce political education into the Armed Forces.
Goremykin cites Stalin on the importance of political education of soldiers and the need to mortally hate the enemy. The journal emphasises that the enemy in Ukraine today is the same as the enemy the Soviet Union was fighting, namely the Nazis. A map of Ukraine published in the journal is used to support arguments, casting doubt on the authenticity of Ukrainian statehood, and hence to justify the invasion.
The magazine reflects the politicised use of history that has become a prominent feature of Russian educational policy in recent years, particularly since the invasion of Ukraine, and continues to peddle the false narratives that Russia has been using to influence its military personnel and population more generally.
