Some "terrorist" group in Russia is claiming they did it. I'd believe that, can't imagine Ukraine sending someone to kill her of all people. Big enough target to make a scene but not really going to change the war.

It would be stupid for Ukraine to kill someone for their words and ideology. That makes them martyrs and make their words much more powerful and more widely known. I heard one ex-KGB saying today, it was a message to Dugin. Dugin was supposed to drive with her, but someone made him enter a car that followed her. Her father saw whole thing happening in front of him. He says there is a lot of money involved.
I also think we will never know the truth.

Lol. I think Israel sent a message to Russia, Iran and Syria with that strike. I can’t believe the orcs would think anyone would take them seriously at this point.

^ Was that monument erected when the Soviets were in charge, or after, as a memorial?

It was erected 1985 during Soviet reign. Every working citizen of Latvia was forced to "donate" 10 rubles from their paycheck for that glorification of occupation. It was a lot of money back then.

Is this gonna be a 20 year war like Vietnam or Russia s invasion of Afghanistan? Or even the US Afghanistan invasion.With no winner? Just loss of life and infrastructure? Holy shit i can remember the US being pissed at Germany for that pipeline deal a couple years back. Energy supply is why the world puts up with all the monarchy s in the middle east.

There is hell going on right now. Ukraine started counteroffensive in Kherson and Kharkiv districts. Took a lot of villages and towns. They are aiming at surrounding big russian groupings in both districts. Next few weeks will be crucial. Let`s wait and see.

The Pro-Russian telegram channels I follow that usually just post hundreds of pictures of dead Ukrainian soldiers and call everyone Nazis are trying to mitigate the current Ukrainian offensives. Pretty telling when even Intel Slava Z has admitted the fighting is hard.

If this is true, everyone to the south is cut off from supplies. Russians have 10-15k solders in Izyum area.

Thanks Kongols… still appreciate your perspective in all of this.

Honestly… wish we could go back to AMA vs MXGP being the main hot topic of this board.

If Ukraine can hold what they took the last three days, then there are more than 10k russians surrounded with no way out.

Pretty spot on. There are reports russians retreated from right bank of river in Kupyansk and blew up bridge. That means Izyum area is left without supplies and reinforcement. Kupyansk is logistical hub for whole area.
