81 missiles were fired at Ukraine today of various descriptions, plus 8 Shaheds. Of those missiles that could be shot down, there was only a 75% intercept rate. 8 others failed in flight. So unfortunately that tallies up to a near 50% success rate for this attack.

In general most of the areas affected by the missile attack have power, heating, and water now. There are still problems in Odesa, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk. Haven't seen any info regarding the thermal plant in Kyiv that got hit this morning, just yet, but Kyiv has power and water as well.

Basically you can then just accuse anyone who protests or complains about you of being an unregistered foreign agent or organisation and then have them arrested because its basically impossible to prove you're not.

It would be helpful or at least interesting if you could go beyond repeatedly stating the obvious, and maybe share a thought on how in your opinion peace could most effectively be achieved, based on the current situation, and what an acceptable resulting situation would be.

A bit of a tangent from the war coverage.

Before the invasion of 24 Feb., dozens of Ukrainians contributed photos and videos to Google Maps of the city that was Bakhmut. I'm sure we've all seen the drone video and satellite images of the horrors inflicted, but the slices of life these offer provide a much-needed human scale to all that was lost. Bakhmut was no tourist hub, no world-renowned center of economic or cultural activity. But it was a place some 72,000 Ukrainians cherished as home, now utterly annihilated by Putin's war of aggression. Virtually all of the men, women, and children in these photos are either war refugees, soldiers, or dead. Similar scenes can be found across the vast swathes of invaded territory. All because Vlad wanted to make Russia great again.

In the last year, we've seen a number of randos inexplicably wander into the thread in a huff that posters here feel so strongly about the conflict, decrying the enthusiasm displayed for Ukraine persevering in the face of the Russian onslaught. Many sling accusations that the conflict is treated as a sporting match, where we're rooting for "our team". I'd say that reveals a lot more about the accusers and their understanding of the situation than those they're presuming to understand the motivations of. I'd wager that most folks here aren't arbitrarily cheering on the Blues over the Greens—a conflict between two all but indistinguishable sides in a fight fundamentally lacking in stakes. Though I'm personally well outside the conflict zone and it's had negligible impact on my daily life, that certainly doesn't preclude empathy for the millions of Putin's victims. To look at what's happened and come to any conclusion but "Ukraine must win this war" is impossible for me to grasp.

I'll post a few of the images. Sorry if it comes off as voyeuristic or touristy, but taking the time to poke around at these images and videos people cared about enough to put up for all to see was genuinely moving. I hope one day the people of Bakhmut and of Ukraine at large can heal the grievous wounds this war has inflicted.


A bit late, but thanks for this!

counterpoint: the murder and genocide of civilians is bad and therefore Russia must lose this war and piss off back to their own land.

Others have noted the details.

But if the law passed, Georgian EU candidate status would be precluded (sabotaged) as it would violate some of the laundry list of EU requirements for membership. So the meat of the quarrel is much, much larger than simply diminishing EU and US funded NGO influence.

"You know, just a case where we send our barely trained horde of soldiers into a neighbouring country to rape, pillage, and murder innocent civilians, while we blow up hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. After which we'd eliminate any traces of Ukrainian culture, as well as any individuals who we deem undesirable. Banal and barely worth discussing, really. "

The thread rules notwithstanding, I want to go on record and state that I lust for the blood of Solovyev.
