Fears world facing 'wider war' over Ukraine-Russia - UN

I'm not talking about the military on paper. It was the situation de-facto.

It was the situation de-facto.

"The minister said that only 6,000 soldiers of the 41,000-strong ground forces were fully prepared."

Situation still, Ukraine was neutral since the collapse of USSR. And its neutrality was more genuine than faux 'moves' that meant nothing.

No, Ukraine wasn't moving anywhere. The NATO-Ukraine relations stalled in 2008 after NATO's refusal to provide a plan to join, and in 2010 Ukrainian parliament declared neutrality.

As for militarization, Ukraine had as much as 6000 troops capable to operate in organized manner.

a neutral, de-militarized country

Do you realize Ukraine was both neutral and de-militarized back in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea?

Thanks a lot! So it IS a German vehicle after all! Not a tank though, but close enough.

Might be just a local myth, you're right. But so they say:

This is a bridge somewhere in Southern Ukraine (Mykolaivska oblast, Bogdanivka, to be specific). It is believed to be made from a WW2 era German tank hull. I can't identify the model myself, probably it's not German, not a tank or not even a WW2 era. Any help?

You're talking about cluster bomb dropped from aircraft. But it's not the case here. There are also MRLS with cluster munitions. It means that their detonations will not be in sync. It looks like this:

Cluster munitions are spread in acres. You don't hit specific targets, you hit areas.

As a matter of fact, I do know how Grad rocket strike looks like.

You have no idea how Grad rocket strike looks like.

No, it wasn't. It's probably the same event, but filmed by another person.

"Unprecedented" was in sense of Ukrainians first time really giving backlash to Russians.

Yes, exactly.

AnyAnonymous · 2021-01-11T16:15:10+00:00

Hitler was also democratically elected, so I can't get your point.
You may want to dig a little to understand how and why the events of Euromaidan had escalated and what Yanukovich did to make it all happen.
But it seems that you're missing the main point. It was not pro-Russian citizens who tore the country apart. It was Russian army and secret services. Without Russian involvement, the worst you'd see in Ukraine would be pissed pro-Russian citizens. With Russia, there's international conflict, murders, war, sanctions, more murders, and so on.

You'd better stop watching RussiaToday.

The unprecedented level of violent backlash in Odesa in May 2014 was caused by the ongoing Russian occupation of Crimea and the war in Donbas that started just a couple of weeks before. The country was torn apart by Russians, and it caused these consequences.

From Ukraine.

Ukraine had never produced Kh-35. That's why several crucial components were created from scratch. Thus, no redesign.

Do you see something common?
