If accurate, things like this tweet can affect Zelensky's decision making.

I'm of the same opinion as Olaf Scholz apparently was.

I bet you believe that the USA murdered Jesus Christ in a false flag incident to discredit the Arab influence in the Roman Empire.

If this WSJ story is true then it's a bad look for Zelensky.
 

This isn't the smoking gun you thinking is.

Russia invaded because of .... and Nazis.

Good lord, you're mental [emoji23]

I'm certifiably mental, I have absolutely no idea what he is.

What! Trying to force Zelensky to back down because Germany is utterly desperate for  Russian gas?

Aye I want cheaper gas as well.

We can have it. If we had a government in this country who gave a f**k.

Ukrainian forces back in control of Chernobyl.

Several missile strikes on oil facilities in Odessa today.

Russia has completely withdrawn from Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts, if this is accurate:

They were never part of Putin's Novorossiya project though, so all that probably means is that regime change in Kyiv is no longer on the agenda.

Mon the Ukraine! Punt those c***s home.

I hope you've not been relying on the MSM for your information on "Our Lord", m9. It's been well established that "Christ" was a CIA plant sent to supply Zionist terrorists ("loaves and fishes", right) and build support for the overthrow of the Roman regime.

They pulled him out by skyhook after his cover was blown and he's still operating out of Langley today.

[topcat(The most tip top)]

Yeah. A bad look from a President who's country is fighting for its very existence from a Russian despot and leader of an army committing atrocities. I am sure your hero Putin is to be wholly trusted. Ukraine. Being shat upon by Germany and Russia. Things never change.

Guarantee from Putin and Biden might not look too bad at the moment but if in the future the Kremlin gets it’s preferred choice if candidate in the White House again then it’s a shit deal

I don't get how a country that's been at war in your territory for 8 years could have been considered as a security guarantor.

One of the chilling things I see from these news reports is the way the locals seem to talk about these attrocities (in front of corpses) with little emotion in their expressions / voices.  Seems that's what several weeks of this can do to people.

Eta: that's not a criticism, just an observation.

Not sure what that means in this context but it's a great line. Is it Russian? Can't remember it from Aesop's fables.

There's an excellent computer game called This War of Mine, made specifically to highlight the reality for civilians who live in warzones. The game occasionally feeds you statements about how people are affected emotionally in these situations, and the people who made it have occasionally linked to articles on the same theme. Very grim stuff, especially for kids, who often don't develop normally, even after it's over.

When you're eating rats while surrounded by the corpses of the community you used to live in, what else can you do to cope but shut down?

War games have come a long way since Wolfenstein.

I watched Winter on Fire last night and it gave an interesting peak into the mindset of many Ukrainians and how they reacted to a Russian stooge when he denied them of a chance to join the EU. Also Klitchko didn't look to good when he was getting telt by the crowd to GTF for basically going along with the regimes proposals.
