That tweet looks bogus, it's not dated and there is NO mention of it on the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense website

Exactly. And there were supposed to be 13 soldiers on that island and there are at least 20 soldiers in the bus in that RT video claiming they are from the island.

I’m not saying Ukraine isn’t exaggerating their success. But there are just too many clues that Russia is having a very difficult time. The past three nights the same airfield has been lit up with explosions. Either the Russians are still trying to take it, or the Ukrainians are bombing the occupiers repeatedly.

I don't know much about bombs but I would have assumed Russia has some big arse bombs and thought there'd be more carnage?

It’s almost 4 am and there has been almost no activity near Kyiv, aside from one large fire burning near the airport.

With such close ties between the 2 populations I guess an all out assault is not an option for Putin?

The problem is the ridiculous notion that Ukraine would be become a NATO member and allow Western forces to park military, etc., on the Russian border. This is the West's fault. How did Russian missiles in Cuba work out? Ukraine a neutral buffer. NATO is breaking their commitment to not spread east. If not, then war. Cha-ching!

You must be American because your geographical knowledge is horrible. Your historical knowledge is terrible as well. There was no commitment to not expand NATO. There was an agreement that Russia would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
There are already two NATO countries that directly border Russia. Latvia and Estonia.

I admit ignorance, and going by John Mearsheimer's 2015 lecture.
youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
It also appears NATO's commitment is a matter of opinion. https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/01/09/broken-promise-nato-expansion-and-end-cold-war/
"Some have tried to debunk the view that the West implicitly or explicitly promised Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand east after German reunification and dissolution of the Warsaw Pact). These claims are misleading and obfuscate the historical record of at least a clear understanding, if not promise that there should be no NATO expansion eastward in any way, shape or form. At the very least the West made a implied commitment not to expand NATO east. It is more precise to say, however, that the West gave an explicit verbal, that is, unwritten guarantee not to expand NATO beyond a united Germany; something both sides understood. This broken promise or understanding and the expansion of NATO to Russia’s borders has led now to the misnamed ‘new cold war.’"

Russia won’t touch a NATO country. If Ukraine were part of NATO they wouldn’t be invaded. Ukraine has the right to ally with whomever it wishes.
Despite predictions that there would be heavy fighting overnight, not much has happened. A lot of reports that Russian soldiers are demoralized and cut off from supply lines. Ukrainian citizens are filling balloons with paint and coating windshields so heavily that vehicles cannot be driven due to no visibility.

When one's means are severely limited relative to an aggressor such that a decisive counteroffensive could not reasonably be struck, exacting a high price as a deterrent to further attack is a legitimate defensive strategy. After all, with the advantages inherent in defense, it may well be that the invader is also incapable of delivering a decisive victory with available resources or ultimately unwilling to pay the cost in personnel and material.

The street battles are gruesome. This is extremely graphic. Putin is a psychopath. Ukraine says 4300 Russian soldiers have died in the invasion. Ukraine probably similar. Dozens if not hundreds died in this fight today

Again, I provided evidence that backs what I observed for those who didn't believe me. You're the one who keeps make believing. Here's yet another make believe statement from you:

koods said: RT is a reliable source if you want to know what lies the Russian government is spewing.
Remember we played a game to see if RT was more reliable than western media, and no one, including yourself, was able to find a single lie by RT? Let's see if you can find one now since you just made the claim. Source, or make believe?
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.
