Support NeoGAF

[sankt-Antonio]

It's too late for that buddy. We are already that involved I would say this has been a proxy war since the last year.

I don’t think so. At the moment support only leads to Ukraine being able to hold the line and maybe slowly get territory back.

Giving them long range capabilities would change that. With that change comes uncertainty where all this is going.
No one outside Poland (because they would be next) want’s a war with Russia over Ukrainian, sounds harsh but I guess that’s the motivation behind all this.

NATO wants a stalemate and sometime down the line an agreement between Ukraine and Russia to then continue business with both.

NATO I think has no real interest to not be in economic relationship with Russia and by proxy China whom both have a wealth of natural resources.

Russian soldier gives his experience on the receiving end of FPV drones.

Pretty sure he would not have to worry about them if he went back to his own country. That fact he is crying about the people he is invading using whatever they can to defend themselves is quite something.

Isn’t Ukraine’s Starlink reach limited to Ukrain territory only? I do think they meant Russian territory in the vicinity of the boarder.
Not striking Moskau. It the only reason why NATO countries are slow to give Ukraine the latest tech that makes sense to me.

NATO could give Ukraine weapons to destroy every Russian in Ukraine territory within days.

A sober reminder of what it means to be oppressed by the Russian Federation.

Hospitals in Russian-occupied Luhansk Oblast are reportedly threatening to confiscate newborns from mothers if neither of the newborn’s parents can prove that they have Russian citizenship. Luhansk Oblast Military Administration Head Artem Lysohor reported on May 1 that mothers who give birth at hospitals in occupied Luhansk Oblast will be required starting on May 6 to prove that at least one of the newborn’s parents has Russian citizenship in order for the hospital to discharge the newborn. If this report is accurate, such actions violate Article II(d) of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which defines genocide as “imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.”[122]

Russia hits Kharkiv again, fourth time today. They're not just bombing us; they're trying to break people’s resilience.




Long story short: the Russians forced this man to join their military from one of the occupied regions. He ended up shooting six Russians and fled.
