Russia Is Scouring the Globe for Weapons to Use Against Ukraine​

The passage of a sanctioned cargo ship from Syria to a Russian port shows how Moscow is bringing equipment home again

The recent requests for a 'cease fire' from the Russians was more like a request to re-arm and get more troops ready for battle. I think Russia is in trouble, but I would never doubt their stoicism as a culture with their experiences in several major wars going back 100s of years. I'm afraid they will not give up here. Afraid for both sides.

It's the war I tell you.

"Russia has flagged legal action after Australian bureaucrats scuttled the construction of its new embassy building in Canberra.

Authorities have ordered the "premium" block of land near parliament house be vacated within 20 days.

In 2011, Moscow was granted approval to build a new embassy complex in the central Canberra location, to replace its ageing compound, however, the project has been beset by delays for years.

On Wednesday, the National Capital Authority (NCA) blamed Russia's failure to finish construction within an agreed three-year deadline for the decision to terminate the lease."

I've been past the site a couple of times. Zilch has been done and it's looks like a construction dumping ground.

Yes, spot on. Why do we want a beefed up Russian (Chinese) spy station in Canberra right now? Once it does get built, nano-bugs will be all over it.
 

Junior officers are least likely to survive​

"Of the 5701 identified Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine, 966 were officers – including four generals and 34 colonels. In other words, officers constitute 17 per cent of Russian fatalities. The data show that the heaviest losses were suffered by junior officers – three times more likely to die than their subordinates.

"We were able to reach this conclusion by comparing the numbers of confirmed losses among officers and among soldiers. Each Russian junior officer is responsible for roughly 20 soldiers. Going with this ratio, for each of the 4735 privates, sergeants and corporals confirmed dead, there should be around 230 killed junior officers. In reality, the figure is three times higher...

Lost battalions: calculating Russia's casualties in six months of war in Ukraine

BBC Russian's analysis shows that junior officers are killed much more frequently than those under their command in Russia's army in Ukraine.

Remarkable retaking of territory in the East. At least 2,000 sq km of Kharkiv oblast regained in 4 days.

And with the amount of materiel - tanks, vehicles and ammo - that has been captured, Russia has overtaken USA as the top supplier of arms to Ukraine .

This war has proved to be very embarrassing for Russia, it really shows that besides the Nuclear threat, NATO has really had nothing to worry about Russia all these years.

The fear that Russia would one day roll through Western Europe with waves of tanks, planes, missiles and storm troopers armed with Kalashnikovs seems to be completely over stated.

Given that they haven’t even been able to defeat ukraine, if they faced with the full force of a NATO counter offensive they would be put back in their Box very quickly.
 
For those who are not better than I at using the internets and televisions, just a heads up for accessing news on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

It is just coming up to 37 minutes after sunrise in Kyiv. Remembering that further East in Ukraine it has been daylight for over an hour

The first bulletins via twitter.com usually get posted in about 90 minutes, although Kyiv is still in information blackout for strategic, tactical and operational reasons.

rt.com which is a Russian propaganda outfit can be accessed if you turn your vpnskies to Israel as they still allow rt to broadcast there. Quite hilarious misinformation. My grandchildren tell me Bluey is more fun.

Telegram has many useful posters but again with the ongoing information blackout it is limited on the
Ukraine side, although it is interesting from the Russian side as more panic settles in. Find them yeselves as my Cyrillic is ruskty.

Slava Ukraine.

and the oblast of Kharkiv is de-russified. Week leading to 11 Sept

But critical nfrastucture (esp power) and the population centres are still getting bombarded from across the border
