Ukraine War

Or maybe not taking any US/Ukrainian gov report as THE source of truth?

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 ....
 
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.
 
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
 
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....

I see a lot of VPN use by spammers as I have banned a lot of countries from registering accounts at ASF so I am very familiar with the ISPs that are used by those located overseas to make themselves appear to be in Australia. I am not seeing any evidence of VPN use in this case.
 
I believe that he lives in Australia and that he is a Russian sympathiser. I have one in my circle of friends, brainwashed by his work mates that have family connections from that side of the world.
 

 

New phase of Ukraine war? Russia appears to shift focus​

A quick recap.
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.

From Understanding War ; 25 March

The Russian General Staff issued a fictitious report on the first month of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on March 25 claiming Russia’s primary objective is to capture the entirety of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Sergei Rudskoi, first deputy chief of the Russian General Staff, gave a briefing to Russian press summing up the first month of the Russian invasion on March 25.[1] Rudskoi inaccurately claimed Russian forces have completed “the main tasks of the first stage of the operation,” falsely asserting that Russia has heavily degraded the Ukrainian military, enabling Russia to focus on the “main goal” of capturing Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

Rudskoi’s comments were likely aimed mainly at a domestic Russian audience and do not accurately or completely capture current Russian war aims and planned operations. Russia’s justification for the invasion of Ukraine from the outset was the fictitious threat Moscow claimed Ukrainian forces posed to the people in Russian-occupied Donbas. The Kremlin has reiterated this justification for the war frequently as part of efforts to explain the invasion to its people and build or sustain public support for Putin and the war. Rudskoi’s framing of the capture of the rest of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts as the “main goal” of the operation is in line with this ongoing information operation.

Rudskoi’s assertion that securing the unoccupied portions of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts was always the main objective of Russia’s invasion is false. The Kremlin’s initial campaign aimed to conduct airborne and mechanized operations to seize Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, and other major Ukrainian cities to force a change of government in Ukraine.[2] Rudskoi’s comments could indicate that Russia has scaled back its aims and would now be satisfied with controlling the entirety of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, but that reading is likely inaccurate. Russian forces elsewhere in Ukraine have not stopped fighting and have not entirely stopped attempting to advance and seize more territory. They are also attacking and destroying Ukrainian towns and cities, conducting operations and committing war crimes that do not accord with the objectives Rudskoi claims Russia is pursuing.

Russia continues efforts to rebuild combat power and commit it to the fight to encircle and/or assault Kyiv and take Mariupol and other targets, despite repeated failures and setbacks and continuing Ukrainian counter-attacks. ......
 

This was my initial assessment of what Russia were trying to do. The effort to the west was at least a diversion and the real aim is to take the eastern part of Ukraine as far as possible, potentially leaving a border down the Dnipro. I still think that's their strategic objective. Russia would prefer to have the whole of the Black Sea coast down to Moldova for themselves, but I'm not sure if they'll get there.
