Or maybe not taking any US/Ukrainian gov report as THE source of truth?
good to see the frogster still having a go. He's got me on Ignore. Suits me.There are many more sources of information on this war than just the Russian, US, EU, UN or main stream media. What's your 'source of truth' qldfrog?

Russian troll ....Now wanting europe to pay for oil and gas in rublesdoesnt sound like a mad man , i believe the oligarchy and other big players from the days of the Soviet era are involved as well.
Russia/china/Brazil and other Emerging nations who do not want to be under the control of USD are likely to be thinking of implementing maybe russo-sino petro currency.
If u study history, u will understand that the notion of russia joining NATO is not possible.
More importantly, Most of the world is undergoing massive inflation now and likely a recession/stagflation soon as well ala 1970s again.
I have hedged my bets by getting more exposure to gold, oil and other commodities stocks. It would be prudent to stock up on daily necessities as well as some fuel. Most younger Australians will not remember the days when we had 15percent interest rates and fuel shortages.
If a nuclear power plant was hit, it would definitely require a “radiological response task force”, and could definitely be considered an act of radiological warfare.Get the facts straight ..
It was just a fertiliser factory which was hit by Russian shelling on 21st march, resulting in release of some ammonia gases, a component of chemical fertilisers , requiring civilians to stay indoors.
So now the Americans are making up a task force to respond to possible chemical attacks. Lol...
So if the Russians somehow caused a nuclear leak by shelling one of the 15 nuclear reactors Ukraine has, then they will potentially use nuclear weapons? How about talk of nuclear response task force?
Russians said they shelled it coz the Ukrainians had planted mines , ready to explode the ammonia should Russia invade the city and kill civilians then blame it on the Russians.
That fertiliser factory is 226 hectares and makes 120000tonnes of fertiliser a year.
LOL.. I think Russian fertiliser exports just got a boost in prices
would almost tempt a 'madman' to 'accidentally ' trip the explosion(s) and possibly take out the gas supply to the Ukraine ( and maybe even Germany/EU ) after all most of that infrastructure would be Soviet era and a little worn out ( and under-maintained )If a nuclear power plant was hit, it would definitely require a “radiological response task force”, and could definitely be considered an act of radiological warfare.
I am also not sure placing mines around a fertiliser factory would be an efficient way to cause a large explosion, Ammonium nitrate can certainly explode under the right conditions, because it is an oxidising agent but generally requires a fuel source to be present, a fire or explosion nearby is not guaranteed to cause it to explode unless other conditions are present, it is more likely to deflagrate than detonate.
But still purposefully shelling an ammonia plant is not very responsible, because they often are connected to natural gas pipes, and repeated shelling could cause a gas leak which could provide the fuel source new needed for detonation.
Same as chem explosion or even bio labs ,which do not exist in Ukraine of course..except if you talk to congress and can not lie wo going to jail....would almost tempt a 'madman' to 'accidentally ' trip the explosion(s) and possibly take out the gas supply to the Ukraine ( and maybe even Germany/EU ) after all most of that infrastructure would be Soviet era and a little worn out ( and under-maintained )
one side is desperate to get EU/NATO reinforcements and the other annoyed at the EU , that sounds like a dangerous mix already
Russian troll ....
For what it's worth, I can confirm that this person is located inside Australia.
The trolls from troll farms have access to vpns to make their origins show the same location where the current target is
good to see the frogster still having a go. He's got me on Ignore. Suits me.
New phase of Ukraine war? Russia appears to shift focus
A quick recap.
Russian forces in Ukraine appear to have shifted their focus from a ground offensive aimed at Kyiv to instead prioritising what Moscow calls the liberation of the contested Donbas region, suggesting a new phase of the war.
It appears too early to know whether this means President Vladimir Putin has scaled back his ambitions in Ukraine, but Russian military moves this week indicate a recognition of the surprisingly stout Ukrainian resistance.
Russian-backed separatists have controlled part of the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine since 2014.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday again appealed to Russia to negotiate an end to the war, but he said Ukraine would not agree to give up any of its territory for the sake of peace.
Putin's forces are under great strain in many parts of the country, and the United States and other countries are accelerating their transfer of arms and supplies to Ukraine. In recent days, US officials have said they see evidence of Ukrainian defenders going on the offensive in a limited way in some areas.
Putting a positive face on it all, the deputy chief of the Russian general staff said his forces had largely achieved the “main objectives” of the first phase of what Moscow calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

There is a sober view that the Russian ' shift' is a chimera; nothing but false narrative that conviniently overlooks the timeline. But mainstream media has lapped it up.New phase of Ukraine war? Russia appears to shift focus
