Of course they were, most are not going to say anything else in public, for obvious reasons.

An opinion formed from "watching videos" is on very shaky ground, but thanks for your observation..........

Let's see if they carry out their threat:

One national security expert played down the significance of Russia's warning, suggesting it was effectively an idle threat and not one Moscow would ever follow through on.

He did say so, in the sentence before the one your source quoted he said they picked individual colours based on their prestigious alma mater! He also said their overalls were individually sewn six months before launch!

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Yeah …. They’re making a lot of chest beating noise right now, seemingly to distract from the fact that they’re in a right mess. Their 3-day war has made next to no progress in 3 weeks and has achieved nothing but war crimes that will haunt Russia for a century.

Zelensky’s suggestion this evening that any proposed peace deal with Russia would be put to the Ukrainian people in a referendum, doesn’t sound like the tactics of a man who thinks his time is running out. Meanwhile Russia’s cynical suggestion that Mauriopul should surrender looks suspiciously like a ploy to save their conscripts having to go into the city in numbers to fight an urban war they aren’t trained or equipped for.

These are the last stories from the final international journalists before they had to flee. The Russians wanted to capture them and force them to say that everything that they had reported thus far was a lie.

Before anyone reads this, it is very upsetting:

https://apnews.com/article/russia-uk...32f82ca351dede

Meanwhile, the staff at the Russian embassy in London have been tweeting that the pictures are of actors.

Presumably we have pulled out our embassy staff, so these people should be imprisoned for what they are doing, at least until the end of the war.

It was on Sky News on Sunday that Russian soldiers are laughing at people who are suffering and that women are being raped for hours on end by soldiers before being executed.

What would be the main problems from severing diplomatic ties?

Why do people think that Russia won't do this, what would be their concern?

They won't go into Mauriopul. They'll just surround it and starve it.

Or, they might surround it and starve themselves, if this morning’s assessment from the Ukrainian military is anything like accurate. A supply crunch has been in the offing for some time now but the Ukrainians do now seem to believe that in many places the Russians may have only 3 days of food and ammo left.

That might work if the Russian troops had good logistics and food supplies themselves. I'm not sure that they do.
