The leaders of the Balkan and Eastern European countries have expressed their support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine
On Monday, at an informal summit in Athens, the leaders of eleven Balkan and Eastern European countries signed a joint declaration expressing support for Ukraine's territorial integrity. Signing the declaration in the presence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, they expressed "unwavering support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders."

I admittedly didn't watch the video, but does it mention whether L/DPR personnel are counted in those numbers? Those guys got fucking hammered during from the early to mid-stages of last year. I wouldn't be surprised if they took 30 - 40 thousand KIA themselves. I also highly doubt anybody has bothered to document their deaths, given that they have been viewed as disposable manpower. There's a reason that Russia was forced to mobilize and grab dudes from prisons, and that reason is that they started to run out of L/DPR guys to hand Mosins and throw at Ukrainian positions. |

That is likely true. For certain that doesn’t include Wagner which they admitted had about 30,000 killed. I think they had a very low wounded to kill ratio because they got little or no treatment and often left for dead. |

With all the publicity surrounding 8/24 and a possible attack. Does UKR just sit back and do nothing but send in a few drones to watch everything turn in and get a complete ADA picture for a future swarm on a surprise date of their choosing or do they go all in and swarm on everything tomorrow or Thursday night. Showing even after advanced warning you can stop everything?

That’s quite an expert to pontificate about a specific situation when he has read nothing about it. 😂😂😂 Most experts will qualify their statements made in general with “in most cases”, “in my experience during ____”, “the most common application is”, etc. I have never heard a true expert claim anything as “always”, “never”, “impossible “ because if you do edge of envelope efforts long enough you see lots of unexpected things! But now I have heard of one saying that so chalk that up as proving my point. 😎 and if you are not pushing the envelope then can you really claim to be an SME versus just being knowledgeable about something? |
