Which is why I said "Unconfirmed"
It was yet more hearsay pushing a Kremlin line to suggest that it’s Ukraine’s fault that the war is still going.

When you look at the various claims made about this war in the media.....the idea that our western media have been accurate flies in the face of reality.
Access to Russian media is censored in a manner similar to western media in Russia. Western leaders don't get questioned on the failures on the war nor held to account for their statements.....despite Putin himself allowing a BBC journalist to question him during press conferences multiple times now.
There is a reason for that....and it isn't because Russia is the good guy. It's because one side is winning and the other isn't.

Then why post that and have been extremely quiet on here over the last couple of months of Putin rejecting peace talks and ceasefire talks and Trump’s abject failure to get it all to stop?
It’s very obvious what you’re doing. Just pointing it out 👍🏻

Sometimes Dan just sometimes there is more important things in life than the politics and the crap that goes on in the world. 👍🏻 And it was nice during our Fa cup run to not even think about it at all.
I'm pretty sure you have been quiet in the last week or so. It's obvious what you are doing 🤷🏻♂️
You’ve been quite happy to post on plenty of the other news and politics threads during that time 🤷🏼♂️

Yes and what's the problem here 🤷🏻♂️
I guess it was nicer to think about what’s going on in Gaza and the ‘genocide’ in South Africa over the same period you weren’t thinking about Ukraine then 🤷🏼♂️
If you’re going to make up a nonsense excuse at least go for a semi-believable one next time 👍🏻

Will you two please take your bickering into DM's and leave the rest of the posters to continue their discussions on topic in peace. Thank you.
Just shining a light on his (often Russian linked and backed) nonsense, very much on this topic, in case any one else is suckered into believing it 🤷🏼♂️.

The Washington Post: The US does not want to give Ukraine Patriot systems for free, but is ready to sell them.
The cost of one Patriot installation is $1.1 billion.
Britain, France, Germany and the United States have lifted restrictions on the range of military supplies to Ukraine, German Chancellor Merz said.

Financial Times: Russia is now producing missiles and drones faster than it uses, stockpiling reserves and ratcheting up pressure on Ukraine’s stretched defences.

I'm hearing about a very successful drone attack on a massive number of Russian aircraft required for guide bombing that could have cost Russia hundreds of billions. These are bases hundreds of miles away from what should be hittable.
If true, this could be both very dangerous and or very good for Ukraine depending upon how Russia reacts to this.
Those who wanted this war to escalate could have just have received their desire.....I just hope that we weren't involved in this.....as it looks like special ops infiltration to get this close to use drones.

Ukraine war latest: Trump mocks Putin over US sanctions - as Zelenskyy heads to London summit
Ukraine's president is in London to meet leaders of the self-styled coalition of the willing, hoping to build on momentum against Russia after the US hit Moscow with sanctions. Vladimir Putin played down the impact of those levies - but Donald Trump wasn't convinced. Follow the latest.
Looks like we can wave away peace talks now. Guess the pro war supporters will be delighted. Maybe we haven't seen anything yet and Russia have been holding back. 😬

Yep the latest is that Russia have walked away from negotiations.
Ukraine are saying that all their operatives have safely returned.
I hope that this is what people wanted because this is what we are going to get.
From what I'm hearing it's caused massive damage to Russian aviation.....how much though, it's hard to say at this point.

Rumours of an escalation tonight.
Why can't the west get out of any sodding war? All this high risk dice for foreign nations with no upside.
Biden to Trump seems to have made no difference.

Oh look, Team Russia are back after Ukraine dare stand up for itself and it’s all their fault again.
Why were you lads so quiet during all the Russian airstrikes on Kyiv last weekend that killed civilians out of interest? This seems to be a retaliation to that.
