Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress]

[Branko]

So people in Omsk celebrating that there refinery got burned down.
Muscovite's stole it from them years ago, took all the profits and left locals with some crumbs falling of the table.

Nothing got "burned down"...sure, fires look spectacular, but toy drones can't harm oil refinery much.

In WW2 Allies sent 177 heavy bombers to bomb Ploesti oil refineries with incendiary bombs and
250kg and 500kg bombs, and that raid lowered production by...tadaaa...2%.
Allies decided that its worth it anyway, and did a lot more raids, dropping altogether 13 000 tonnes
bombs, which is around Hiroshima explosion (15 000 tonnes) strong.
They lowered refinery output to 60% by the end of war

Offcourse, everything is fine. But I'm just wondering, if these toy drones can't make much harm, why there is fuel shortage in almost all regions in Russia, and even if there is no shortage, you're limited to buy only 20-30l once. And interesting why Russia started to buy petrol from India if there is no shortage?
Meanwhile, Russia is making desperate retaliatory attacks on Ukraine gas stations:

Ucy and I might not agree on some things, but the one thing that we agree on is that there is salvation in no other way than faith in Jesus of the Bible, to raise us on the last day. This is not religion. It is the way things work, set up by God.

Possibly close to 100% of the people who have died in this war, are lost... because they did not know Jesus at the time of their death.

If the leader of any country promotes reading of the Bible New Testament among his people, his nation will flourish. Why? Because that is what God is looking for among people... people who look to God thru Jesus.

There are Bibles all over Russia and Ukraine. But they don't do any good if the people are not pushed into reading them. And who is in a better position to get the people to read them than the leaders of the country?

It's a heart thing, between each person and God. And that is what God wants.

Whichever leader pushes his people into reading their Bibles and taking God seriously, that nation will succeed. The Holy Spirit will use the words of the Bible to change the hearts of the people. We need revival in these two war-torn countries.

The reason why the US is having its troubles is because they are forgetting to read their Bibles. But that is the real thing that made them strong in the first place.

All those war-dead are lost forever. Get back to God. Get back to Jesus, the only Way to the Father Who created everything. Set up schools that teach about Jesus. God set it up to be this way.

No, of course not thats why a liter of petrol in a fuel producing country cost 250 rubles (260 other places) $ 3.27 or $ 12.4 per gallon.

In the days before nothing burned down it was 50-60 rubles
2023:  remember gasoline was 30 rubles 
2024:  remember gasoline was 40 rubles 
2025:  remember gasoline was 50 rubles
Why are Muscovite's restaurants deserted?

So with US, Ukraine been getting in total over $100B/yr for 2022-2024, then €72 billion without US in 2025, and now even less than that for 2026 and 2027? How many souls did Ukraine had to commit for an amount that wasn't even enough to hold the line in 2025? Why do you think Ukraine is getting less and less every year, and only enough for a slow Ukrainian retreat? Russia will still get Donbas, EU pays for more Russian losses, Trump makes money from selling weapons and turns EU ultra right, everyone wins, well almost everyone, what great news for Ukrainians...right?  

You can play the smart Putler Boy along with the others in this thread, but the fact is that Ukraine with the support of EU, Canada, UK and some other countries will not be left alone as you hope. Ukraine is becoming increasingly powerful militarily, especially in the development of drones and long-range missiles. I think Russian refineries and military factories speak for themselves, although you marginalize that as well as everything that suits you.

Russia will pay dearly for every square meter it conquers, the footage of thousands of Russian soldiers and their facial expressions before being hit by a Ukrainian drone should be a warning to anyone who thinks they will make easy money killing Ukrainians. Ukraine is already part of the EU (unofficially) and regardless of your narrow-minded ideas about someone wanting as many dead Ukrainians as possible, they are fighting for their country and their freedom - you and those like you have never and will never be able to understand that.

Ukraine could've signed the peace agreement, but EU heads wanted to do more damage to Russia, now Russia has to take Donbas militarily and now most likely wont stop there. It's a mystery to me how any of this can be spun as a positive for Ukrainian people?

I heard that Ukraine is already part of mars (unofficially)!

I don't subscribe to the idea that someone explicitly wants as many dead Ukrainians as possible. It's a just a side effect that EU is too willing to accept for wanting to hurt Russia as much as possible. I provide money and you provide souls it's that simple, of course money is tight so i'll just provide the bare minimum for a slow retreat (look our great leader in his infinite wisdom got us some shekels to slow down our retreat, what a great UA leader, everyone in Ukraine must dance and celebrate!). Usually it's a role of the government to protect it's own people, and do everything possible to avoid putting your people in the role of a sacrificial pawns, but in this case that failed dramatically. It's a basic conflict of interests, all sides just want to do as much damage to Russia at a minimal financial cost, Ukrainian population is not part of this equation. That's why despite degrading conditions in Ukraine, instead of ramping up funding as you've pointed it out, they're reducing it. I'm sure Ukrainian infrastructure, and their military is better off now than in was in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 so they don't need as much money for 2026 or 2027

Russia develops two anti-drone machines.

The first is a passive drone detector that finds enemy drones without broadcasting any radar. It simply uses the drone's own contact radio waves to detect the drone.

The second is a special EMP-like device that blocks incoming drones in a specific area. When it becomes fully deployed, it will protect any Russian installations where it sits. It stops Starlink radio waves that Ukraine is using.





EDIT: In addition, there is turmoil in Poland. It seems that the leader of the Polish 'Front' party is sending medical supplies to Russia.

All politicians, no matter left, right, center are parasites, a plague on a community. Such a thing as a wage for politicians should not exist.
If someone is doing it from the bottom of the heart he is pro people and not the banks tool to implement a desired policy.
Only handicapped people have a legal guardian acting on there behalf.

Something did arrive at Moscow Kapotnya oil refinery.

Here's a promising development:

The little green goblin is said to have trashed his retracted trophy calling it 'The Order of the White Chicken'.  Lol.

Russia/Belarus probably have it within their power to facilitate an outcome where Poland ends up with Lwów which they clearly hoped for early on in the adventure.  They could probably also make some combination of Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania happy with the sore thumb West of the Carpathians...and more importantly optimize some pipeline routing potentials in the area.

Not only that, take a look at how Poland might be lying through its teeth to Zelensky, and the damage it is doing to Kiev.
