No, they are a motivation aid to influence the population. "Look how serious it is, we are being threatened by the West."

Now the Zelensky clown wants Submarines !??? :up:

A prominent and known AfD man. The AfD is an ally of the Kremlin (so is the SED).

^^ Zelenskyy isn't a clown.

He is a President who try to save his country from an invasion.

He has every right to ask for military stuff, so even U-boats, Fighter Jet or heavy MBT.

And our leaders has every right to approve or disapprove these request.

Well said Markus. :salute:

This is a map of the "land"connection and the many water bodies between mainland Ukraine and Crimea. Note the distance scale in the bottom left corner.

Trying to break through there while being clearly outnumbered? :doh: Have fun.

"Und morgen kommt der große Ar§ch und schei$$t alles zu" :D

I do not think Ukraine will lose in the end. The west cannot afford to let them.
Yes, this means boots on the ground, NATO, and risking a nuclear war. And?
Russia will go on to threaten the world while blackmailing them, and all bow before Putin's threats? Punch him in the face. Kill him. Destroy his armies. Make Moscow bleed. They already know they are wrong and hell awaits. Give it to them.
Otherwise with this strategy Russia can conquer the whole world – if the rest of the world makes a kowtow like Germany, and is as dumb like this joke of a chancellor, Scholz.

Yes zelensky is actually a Real Terrorist and a Criminal Clown and a Buffoon

Think the Crimea is not an option to retake if you see what they have to retake lost after the invasion they say it is Ukraine is for the Ukrainian public. Today's map update of Russian field fortifications includes new trenches in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and additional defenses in the Russian regions that border northeastern Ukraine.

Check out the interactive map which links each point to satellite imagery: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer...4999999986&z=6 Ukraine will have his hands full to retake the oblasts lost after 24/2/22

Also, since many years I see the Crimea as a tripwire to nuclear weapon use. Since years I say that Russia will NEVER give up Crimea. Not Putin, not the man after him.


Nevertheless Zelensky lists reconquest of Crimea as one of his conditions to define "victory".

It is about your own terrorism.
I heard soldiers’ mothers in Russia have long memories. Guess you’ll always be looking over your shoulder.

To get his "victory" he needs the supply from the west. Crimea is not won this year and not next year, by then the mayor supporter could have another head of power who sees it totally different and urges starting talks with Russia.

Russia struggling to replace its losses in Ukraine ahead of possible spring offensive, Western officials say
Russia is unlikely to see strategic success in any potential offensive in Ukraine this spring due to limited support on force ratios, equipment and logistics, according to Western officials speaking to media on background. These limitations might not prevent Russia “from trying to launch an offensive,” but their “ability to change the course of the conflict at the moment is constrained,” the officials said. Moscow is struggling to replace its losses, the officials added. "There are severe constraints to their ability to really backfill the losses that they have suffered in Ukraine, which is why you see them reach out to international partners to try to fill the gap," they said.

Russia and Ukraine were fundamentally in "a race" as to "who can maintain the supply of weapons,” they said. Moscow's current offensive is more about “the existing manpower and equipment being deployed and redeployed locally. You're seeing people kind of taking offensive action, but I don't think you're seeing the beginning of the offensive in big strategic terms. It's unlikely that hundreds of thousands of mobilized reservists have been formed into cohesive formations capable of major offensive, maneuver operations,” the officials explained.

Meanwhile, the officials expressed doubt in Russia using its neighboring ally Belarus to launch an offensive in the coming months. “Belarus is providing a useful training ground for Russian forces where they can outsource for training and then siphon them back round into the front line in Ukraine,” the officials said. “We do see Russian forces in Belarus. We don't see them deployed to the border, and at the moment, they don't have the kind of capability in the logistics to project and threaten Kyiv.” But the Russian troops presence does prompt Ukraine from stationing its troops in that direction to "offset that potential risk," the officials said, even though they stressed that it is "hugely unlikely" that Belarus "will be an axis of advance in the next several months.”
