Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Kun puhutaan noista suurista kranaattivarastoista niin luulisi että varastoissa on lähinnä kuoria jotka sitten täytettäisiin kun tilanne näyttä perkelöityvän. Täytön luulisi sujuvan nopeasti ja neukkulan ajoilta niiden räjähteiden tuotantokapasiteettikin on varmaankin mitoitettu sotatalouskokoon mikä ei liene edes erityisen kallista.
 
This is what Snake Island looks like today. They write that 3 small-sized ships departed from the island. The island is empty. Orcs blew up the rest of the equipment and drove off into the sunset on the Raptors.
Jos pitää kutinsa, saari pitää varmaan desinfioida vanjan jäljiltä napalmilla hajuhaitan, roskaamisen ja miinoitusten varalta ennen sen haltuunottoa.

Edit: Ja voimme olla melko varmoja, että saaren lähistöllä päivystää venäläisiä sukellusveneitä.

Eli ostoskeskusisku suunniteltiin tarkoituksella siviilikohteeseen? Hyvää materiaalia Haagin kansioon.
Tähän voisi lainata Lavrovin, "me olemme ketä olemme, emmekä häpeä sitä". Kerrankin se mies puhui totta, kun myönsi olevansa roistovaltio.

Tuo operator starskyn video ryssän propagandasta dnr ja lpr alueiden kansamurhista on hyvä kokoaminen. Silti vkkn idiootit jatkaa samalla linjalla päätyyn asti. Mulla on vähän kutina, että niin kauan kun qanon spedet saadaan pidettyä pois vallasta usassa ja natoa vahvistettua niin Krim haetaan kyllä jonkin ajan sisällä takaisin, kunhan usa lopettaa nuo eskalaatiolätinät ja alkaa työntää oikeita aseita ja isosti. Tähän sisältyy pelko Rumpin siivestä, joutuvat himmailemaan menoa, kun sisäpolitiikassa on mukana ryssän väkeä.. On täysin ymmärettävää, että Ukraina ampuu niillä ohjuksilla mitä on tarjolla, mutta ryssän kh-22 iskut kertovat karua kieltä ohjusten loppumisesta ns. suurvallalta.
 
Trade through Lithuania to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad could return to normal within days as officials edge towards a compromise deal, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Kaliningrad, which is bordered by EU states and relies on railways and roads through Lithuania for most goods, has been cut off from some freight transport from mainland Russia since 17 June under sanctions imposed by Brussels.

European officials are in talks about exempting the territory from sanctions, paving the way for a deal in early July if EU member Lithuania drops its reservations, said the people, who declined to be named because the discussions are private.

It is proving hard for Europe both to stand by strict sanctions and avoid further escalation with Russia so European officials, with the backing of Germany, are seeking a compromise to resolve one of their many conflicts with Moscow, said one of the people.
A theatre sheltering civilians destroyed in March in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol was likely hit by a Russian airstrike in a war crime, Amnesty International says.

Oksana Pokalchuk, head of Amnesty’s Ukraine branch, told AFP:

Until now, we were speaking about an alleged war crime. Now we can clearly say it was one, committed by the Russian armed forces.”
“These explosions were caused by something really big: two 500km (1,100-pound) bombs” dropped from a plane, she added, dismissing Russian claims that the theatre was hit in a false-flag attack by the city’s Ukrainian defenders.

The Amnesty team interviewed 52 survivors and first-hand witnesses, about half of whom were either in the theater or nearby. Using satellite imagery from that morning, they determined that the sky was consistently clear enough for any pilot to see the word “CHILDREN” written in giant Cyrillic letters in the building’s front and back.

The 16 March airstrike devastated the building, collapsing its rear and side walls directly onto a field kitchen used as a community gathering space for food, water and scarce news about evacuations and the war.
British government complacency is allowing Russian “dirty money” to flow into the UK despite the war in Ukraine, MPs have warned.

The Commons Foreign Affairs Committee said the failure of ministers to take effective action meant assets “laundered” through the City of London were being used to finance Putin’s war, according to PA Media.

In a highly critical report, it said the government was slow to impose sanctions, adding it was “shameful” it had taken the war to galvanise the government into action.

It said the measures still “do not go far or fast enough” and did little to address the “fundamental mismatch” between the resources available to the law enforcement agencies and the individuals they are targeting.

PA cites sections of the report as saying:

The Government’s unwillingness to bring forward legislation to stem the flow of dirty money is likely to have contributed to the belief in Russia that the UK is a safe haven for corrupt wealth. It is shameful that it has taken a war to galvanise the Government into action.

Although ministers have spoken eloquently in the House about the need to clamp down on kleptocrats, rhetoric has not been matched by constructive action. Meanwhile, corrupt money has continued to flow into the UK.

Without the necessary means and resources, enforcement agencies are toothless. The threat (that) illicit finance poses to our national security demands a response that is seen to be serious.”
The committee chairman, Tom Tugendhat, said:

For far too long successive governments have allowed malign actors and kleptocrats to wash their dirty money in the London ‘laundromat’.

Complacency has left the door open to corrupt wealth taking root and morally bankrupt billionaires using the UK as a safe deposit box.”

Vladimir Putin has issued fresh warnings that Russia would respond in kind if Nato set up military infrastructure in Finland and Sweden after they joined the US-led alliance.

Putin was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying he could not rule out that tensions would emerge in Moscow’s relations with Helsinki and Stockholm over their joining Nato.

“We don’t have problems with Sweden and Finland like we do with Ukraine,” the Russian president told a news conference in the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat. “We don’t have territorial differences.”

“If Finland and Sweden wish to, they can join. That’s up to them. They can join whatever they want.”

However, he warned “if military contingents and military infrastructure were deployed there, we would be obliged to respond symmetrically and raise the same threats for those territories where threats have arisen for us”.

The government’s failure to tackle Russian kleptocrats laundering “dirty money” through the UK has led millions of pounds used to finance Putin’s invasion of Ukraine to flow through London, a powerful committee of MPs has warned.

The commons foreign affairs committee said ministers’ complacency over “morally bankrupt billionaires using the UK as a safe deposit box” had led to “assets laundered through the UK … financing President Putin’s war in Ukraine”.

“The government’s unwillingness to bring forward legislation to stem the flow of dirty money is likely to have contributed to the belief in Russia that the UK is a safe haven for corrupt wealth,” the report said.
“Dirty money brings corruption to our homes and turns our institutions against us,” he added. “It attacks our society and our security. For far too long successive governments have allowed malign actors and kleptocrats to wash their dirty money in the London ‘laundromat’. Complacency has left the door open to corrupt wealth taking root and morally bankrupt billionaires using the UK as a safe deposit box.”

The University of Oxford has come under renewed pressure to reject a £2.6m donation from a Russian-British businessman after he was designated for sanctions by the UK government.

Ministers imposed sanctions on Said Gutseriev on Wednesday for “obtaining a benefit from or supporting the government of Russia” in his role as a director of SFI, a Russian conglomerate that the UK government said was involved in the “Russian financial services sector, a sector of strategic significance”.

Gutseriev donated £2.6m to the university in 2019 to establish a fellowship in archaeology and anthropology. It was named the Chingiz Gutseriev fellowship after Said’s late brother.
The Oxford post funded by Gutseriev sits between the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, the School of Archaeology and St Peter’s College, where he studied.

The research interests of the current post holder, Dr Timothy Clack, include disinformation and “hybrid warfare”, according to a publisher’s summary of a book he edited in May 2021 – tactics that Russia is regularly accused of using. Clack has also edited a forthcoming book, Cultural Heritage in Modern Conflict, for which he co-wrote a chapter called The Russian Weaponization of Cultural Heritage.
 
In her first public comments since May on the US intelligence assessment of the war, Ms Haines suggested Russia's invasion would grind on "for an extended period of time" and that "the picture remains pretty grim".

She said intelligence agencies see three scenarios of how the war could play out, the most likely being a slow moving conflict with Russia making "incremental gains, with no breakthrough".

The other, less likely possibilities include a major Russian breakthrough, or a stabilisation of the frontlines with Ukraine achieving small gains.

It may mean Moscow becomes more dependent on "asymmetric tools" to target its enemies; including cyber attacks, efforts to control energy resources and even nuclear weapons.

Ms Haines' comments came on Wednesday after Nato leaders pledged to stand behind Ukraine for as long as it takes - boosting their troop presence across Europe and inviting Finland and Sweden to join the group.

Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg called it the alliance's biggest overhaul since the Cold War, with US President Joe Biden vowing that Nato would be "strengthened in all directions across every domain - land, air and sea".

Omalla tavalla ei haittaisi tippaakaan, vaikka lastaisivat triljoona kebabbia tai kh22sta meidän rajalle.

A Moscow court has fined Airbnb, Twitch, UPS, and Pinterest for not storing Russian user data locally, according to Russian regulator Roskomnadzor.

The decision was handed down by the Tagansky District Court of Moscow after the four foreign companies allegedly did not provide documents confirming that the storage and processing of Russian personal data was conducted entirely in the country.

Twitch, Pinterest and Airbnb were fined approximately $38,500 while UPS received a fine of roughly $19,200.

According to state-sponsored media TASS, in at least one case – the one involving Pinterest – company representatives did not even attend the hearing.

If the other companies that were fined didn't show, it could be because they've quit or limited operations in Russia – as have Apple, Dell, HP, Intel, SAP, Microsoft, Nokia and Ericsson.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has not hidden his disdain for Big Tech, nor his willingness to put pressure on foreign companies. The fines, therefore, are of little surprise.

Russia's Investigative Committee – the nation's peak criminal and anti-corruption investigation body – labelled Meta an "extremist" organization when it decided to relax rules about exhortations to commit violence on Facebook and Instagram within Ukraine.

Google, Meta, TikTok and Twitter have all been fined by Russian courts over both content and data issues since the illegal invasion began.
Putin also issued sanctions on tech execs such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky, who are banned from entering Russia indefinitely.

Putin tietää erinomaisen hyvin ettei Puolustusliitto NATO uhkaa sotilaallisesti Venäjän kansainvälisin sopimuksin tunnustettuja rajoja eikä sen alueellista koskemattomuutta..
Vladimir Putin has issued fresh warnings that Russia would respond in kind if Nato set up military infrastructure in Finland and Sweden after they joined the US-led alliance.

Putin was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying he could not rule out that tensions would emerge in Moscow’s relations with Helsinki and Stockholm over their joining Nato.

“We don’t have problems with Sweden and Finland like we do with Ukraine,” the Russian president told a news conference in the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat. “We don’t have territorial differences.”

“If Finland and Sweden wish to, they can join. That’s up to them. They can join whatever they want.”

However, he warned “if military contingents and military infrastructure were deployed there, we would be obliged to respond symmetrically and raise the same threats for those territories where threats have arisen for us”.

Ainoa asia joka Suomen ja Ruotsin osalta muuttuu on siinä ettei Venäjä voi jatkossa painostaa näitä NATO:n jäsenmaita sotilaallisesti (ei uhkauksin eikä missään tapauksessa aseellisin toimin tai esim. hyökkäämällä).
- Venäjä ei voi, julkituodun tavoitteensa muikaisesti, painostaa poliittisesti tai muuten alistaa NATO:n jäsenmaita omaan "etupiiriinsä".

Varmaa on että myös Turkmenistanissa, Kazakstanissa, Uzbekistanissa, Kirgisiassa, Armeniassa, Azerbaijanissa ja jopa Belaruksessa jne. ymmärretään Puolustusliitto NATO:n jäsenyyden merkitys suhteessa Venäjään samalla tavalla. Kaikkialla tiedetään ettei NATO uhkaa minkään valtion itsenäisyyttä.

Tämä on omiaan nostamaan painetta Venäjän rikollista diktatuuria vastaan. Siitäkin huolimatta että näissä em. maissa kansalliset johtajat joutuvat omaa valtansa säilyttämiseksi tukeutumaan tarvittaessa Venäjän diktatuuriin ja Rosqvardian apuun. (=silloin kun ko. maiden omat asevoimat eivät halua nousta omaa kansaa/oppositiota vastaan)
- tuossa yllä olevassa lainauksessa Putin esittää varsin selkeästi uhkauksiaan myös näitä em. entisiä Neuvostoliiton aikaisia aluetasavaltoja kohtaan.

Kaikkialla seurataan silmä tarkkana kuinka ryssän sotilaallinen ryöstöretki Ukrainan tunnettujen öljy- ja kaasuvarojen anastamiseksi edistyy.
- toisaalta mietitään sitäkin miten sotiminen Ukrainassa vaikuttaa sisäisesti Venäjän yhteiskuntaan, talouteen, asevoimien kyvykkyyteen, kaupankäyntiin ja suhteisiin muuhun maailmaan nähden jne. jne.

Ja, varmasti ajatellaan myös sitä jos/kun ryssän ryöstöretki Ukrainaan päättyy täydelliseen epäonnistumiseen.
- mistä löytyykään uusia ja helpompia ryöstökohtaita tai mihin suuntaan ryssä lähettää sotavoimiaan seuraavaksi?
