WARNING: The following clip shows a Russian official playing the victim card.
It's only 2 minutes of your time, but the worst and best bit is from 00:20 to 00:36.
The best bit is that Zakharova is complaining about western satellites helping Ukraine pinpoint their targets, thereby inadvertently bemoaning the fact that Russia doesn't have the same capability.

Agree with both of you on this. I've not posted on this thread and come for additional info from many educated posts around the alleged special operation.
Can you please keep this thread to the subject item as per others posters politely asking on many other occasions. It really isn't hard and will keep this relevant to what people want to see. We can even start a new thread for you!
I enjoyed the fireworks in Pskov, usually one for keeping then to 05/11, but happy to see an exception if it Russia being lit up.
One of the very brave stories to emerge recently - and 1/3 of them had no combat experience

Ok, we get that some are uncomfortable with Zelensky’s words in a particular speech, noted and accepted, but it’s really important that this thread doesn’t get sidetracked.
If the more general geopolitical chat could either stop or move to its own thread, I for one would really appreciate it.
Edit: and after posting this I realised there was another page to the thread and people had already returned to the main topic without needing any further encouragement. Apologies all.

It's unbelievable mate. An incredible story and just shows what utter determination to defend your homeland can achieve.
The country and the free world owes them an eternal debt
Hollywood execs i'm sure are taking note!
Yes, and Ukraine needs to continue to find creative ways to push back Russia that minimises impact on Ukrainian troop numbers: heroic operations such as this, 'cardboard' drones in their 1000s
(and maybe they'll get F16s with trained pilots someday 
)

We're being reminded by the fine people of Ukraine that necessity is the mother of invention, or in this case innovation. Contrast with the top down, "if there's people there, shell it", approach whilst constantly high and pissed as exemplified by Russia.Yes, and Ukraine needs to continue to find creative ways to push back Russia that minimises impact on Ukrainian troop numbers: heroic operations such as this, 'cardboard' drones in their 1000s
Exactly this
Seems Russian media are reporting more openly... or being allowed to. Surely they're not getting tired of their usual propaganda statements

UPDATE: Pskov Oblast airport closed after Russia claims drone strike destroyed military aircraft
A drone strike at a military airfield in Pskov Oblast, Russia, destroyed four Il-76 aircraft on Aug. 30, Oblast Governor Mikhail Vedernikov and Russian state media claimed.

I was reading that Russia claim to be producing 5 of those planes a year, which means even if they're telling the truth, (hahahahaha) Ukraine wiped out a year's supply of them. In practice, with sanctions and lots of demands on limited components it's unlikely they can produce 1 a yearSeems Russian media are reporting more openly... or being allowed to.

Zelensky? You came on here to complain about what he said.
So please just leave this thread if you want to talk about issues other than those indirectlyI keep getting dragged in by political ignoramuses. I won't ignore being told to f*** off , by them.
Come on give it a rest. I posted my opinion and don't need to defend it.
I've had more replies saying I'm derailing the thread than my post.
related to the main thrust of the thread. It's really quite simple.

I won't do this often, but people will begin to talk about the rainy season and mud in Ukraine. Here is the beautiful 14 day forecast for Bahkmut. Various weather sites say September is typically good with Oct/Nov being the worst. So, can Ukraine get to Tokmak in the next 30 days?
