Didn't they say something similar to a far smaller country recently and that's not working out well.

The combined might of professional Ukrainian soldiers and local volunteers in a strategic town located in the south of Ukraine defeated a far greater Russian force looking to seize control.

The town of Voznesensk would have given Russia a gateway to the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant and a path to attack Odesa from the back.

Instead, a two-day battle that began on 2 March between the Russians and Ukrainians in the town turned the tide against the former.

Russian troops had left behind nearly 30 of their 43 vehicles including tanks, armoured personnel carriers, multiple-rocket launchers and trucks, according to Ukrainian officials, who added that they had downed an Mi-24 attack helicopter as well.

The Belarusian volunteer battalion named after Kastus Kalinouski will go to Mariupol to help Ukrainian armed forces fight the Russian troops. Many Belarusians are supporting the Ukrainian army. Belarusians are massively joining the defence of Ukraine.

Both sides clearly expect the war to be won on who is best at name-calling. Neither side looks good here. Do they think they are in the playground?

One side - invades country, indiscriminately shells civilians, breaches International Law in many ways, including cluster munitions & thermobaric bombs

Other side - calls the leader of the country an accurately descriptive name

OB - "neither side looks good here"

Your moral equivalence setting may need some slight adjustment… ;)

The FT has announced this morning that it’s bringing all its Ukraine coverage out from behind the paywall for the time being.

BREAKING: Russia threatens to attack potential supply chains of S-300 air defense systems to Ukraine.

Following Slovakia’s statement that it is ready to send the systems to Ukraine if they are immediately replaced, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow “will not allow” the transfer. - Kyiv Independent.

Did we have to seek consent with them ?

Tut tut, naughty Slovakia.
