What's Putin done now?

[red750]

He uses Russian troops and any others he can rein in as cannon fodder to further his own ends.

What's the bet that a ceasefire would only be acceptable to Poo Tin if Russia gets to keep all the land they've invaded, take no responsibility for starting the war, no reparations, and agreement from NATO that Ukraine never be admitted.

He would actually try to get Ukraine to pay reparations to Russia.

Then, even if all this were agreed to by Ukraine, in a year or two he'd invade again anyway.

Anyone who thinks Putin can be appeased is a total fool.

Death will be the final Leveller.  He won't get out of this alive, and there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Nev

Particularly when we see who takes his place.

 

Same goes for orange-o-tan.

This thread seems pretty quiet lately. Has Poo-ten slowed down?

Is it a sign of ukraine starting to wear out the Russian effort?

Putin is giving Trump the run around on a ceasefire deal, has pushed Ukraine out of the Kursk area and continued indiscriminate rocket and drone attacks. Business as usual. He’s got Trump on his side and in his pocket. 

[onetrack]

The Ukraine war is raging back and forth. The Russians have come up with drones that run on a reel of thin optic fibre cable that unwinds off a drum on the drone, and these have had devastating effect on the Ukrainians, because they can't jam their waveforms that normally control drones.

 

The optic fibre cable can be up to 10kms long and virtually invisible. But the Ukrainians have devised countermeasures that utilise sound geo-location, so they pick up the sounds of the drones coming their way.

The problem is the Ukrainians need a lot of operators and sound-gathering equipment, which is not possible at present, so their countermeasures to the optic-fibre drones are limited to small areas.

Nope.. The worlds press has lost interest as theres a war in the Middle East and Trump has gone batpoop crazy... Oh, and the Republicans, who when I was a kid swore they would rather be dead than red, are now rather liking the idea of being red. I guess that is, after all, the colour of the republicans.

Putin is simply continuing his relentless attacks on Ukraine and inexorably gaining more ground in Ukraine each day. In the meantime, the Trump administration is trying to force Zelenskyy and the Ukraine into a minerals deal that obviously benefits the U.S. far more than it benefits Ukraine.

 

However, Zelenskyy isn't signing anything yet, the Ukrainians obviously want to examine the fine print. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, one of Trumps original bum-lickers, says that Ukrainians with vested interests are holding up the deal.

That's double speak for the Ukrainians not immediately kow-towing to Trumps scheming. It will be interesting to see the next moves, the American administration is simply sitting on its hands, it doesn't want to upset Putin too much, for fear of ruining the beautiful Trump-Putin relationship.
