Roman Sinicyn, a co-ordinator at a foundation that donates Starlink systems to the Ukrainian armed forces, told FT the issue could be caused by SpaceX representatives working to make sure Russian soldiers couldn’t use the technology, as the liberation of some of the areas had not been made public yet at the time of the connectivity issues.
but the article goes on to say that there has been no official comment or confirmation …
Hi all. It appears more than ever the world is suffering from ukraine fatigue. This in itself is not good for zelensky but when he persisted that it was russian missiles that killed farmers across the border in Poland when the world knew they were launched by the ukraine army, showed the face of a desperate and unhinged govt willing to plunge the world into a nuclear war with their bellicose screams of invoking article 5 of the NATO charter over this incident.
There is no resolution to this war through military action. It must come through diplomacy. Speak to you again
Oh, these poor Russians being persecuted and deprived of their life, liberty and homes by the bad, bad Ukrainians. Perhaps Russia needs to start negotiating the peace before they lose their entire country and Zelinski will kill all Russians in the world. This Ukrainian invasion of a peaceful neighbor is a crime that needs to be addressed by NATO.
They are gonna come for you russianguy and won’t stop until they have all of Russia and your home.
You should make peace before it is too late to save Russia!
p.s. sorry Ukraine, for the dark humor. As a survivor of the German invasion and atrocities during WWII, my heart weeps for you.
The plebs including zel immediately reported it was russia. In fact zel still insists that it was russia. When the facts got in the way, the world had to disconnect fro zel on this
From Dr. Rohini Haar, medical adviser at Physicians for Human Rights, who said that *“killing or wounding a combatant, who, having laid down his arms or having no longer means of defense, has surrendered at discretion”*is a violation of the laws of international armed conflict.
“It looks like most of them were shot in the head,” Haar said of the Russian soldiers in the clips. “There are pools of blood. That indicates that they were just left there dead. There appears to have been no effort to pick them up or help them.”
It makes no difference if the anti-missile missile came from Ukraine. It was lauched in defense of Ukraine from incoming Russian missiles.
Apparently, it struck a Russian missile , but did not explode and was diverted by the impact into Polish territory. The blame for this ACCIDENT still lies at Russia’s doorstep.
Don’t bore me with your duplicitous sophistry.
And if they freeze or starve to death in a Ukrainian prison, Ukraine is in violation of international law of armed conflict of providing inhumane prison facilities, because Russia has disabled the energy grid and stifled food imports for innocent citizens?
Russia does not honor any rules of war and does not deserve any protection from the consequences of their criminal behavior. They are foreign military trespassing on sovereign soil and may be killed on sight.
EVERY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ABOMINABLE ATROCITY AGAINST UKRAINE LIES AT RUSSIA’S DOORSTEP.
IT IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT THAT RUSSIA IS THE AGGRESSOR IN THIS BUTCHERY OF HUMAN LIVES AND THEY CANNOT NOW CLAIM PROTECTION AND IMMUNITY FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS.
RUSSIA HAS THE OBLIGATION TO WITHDRAW THEIR TROOPS FROM UKRAINIAN SOIL AND EVERY RUSSIAN SOLDIER HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFUSE SERVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY CAN SIT OUT THE WAR IN A RUSSIAN PRISON.
IF THEY SERVE AND FIRE A SINGLE SHOT ON UKRAINIAN SOIL THEY FORFEIT ALL RIGHTS AND ANY RUSSIAN SOLDIER BECOMES FAIR GAME.
p.s. Is it just possible that the Russian military authorities killed their own soldiers because they wanted to defect.
I remember, there is also a law that “desertion” during war time is punishable by death. I am sure this law is in effect for Russian military as well.
It is the Russian officers that killed the deserters!
I am coming to visit you with a bunch of my friends and take your home.
Any resistance will be madness and after I turn off all your electricity you will have to stop the madness and give me what I want.
I have heard of “foreclosure” and “repossession”, but this is truly a novel way of acquiring real estate.
It’s a new international law! And who wrote that new law, Putin? You are insane!
I wonder if what we are seeing is indeed “fatigue” or a gradual realisation that this appalling
conflict has no winners, could have been prevented and will only end via diplomatic means
not military ones. Just as Putin miscalculated 8-9 months ago. So has the USA/NATO !
Just as Zelensky assumed the mantle of heroic leader, so now has Putin shown a level of
resolution and willingness to adapt his methods to achieve his revised aims.
The Kremlin did indeed believe it could achieve regime change in Kiev, secure the position
of the Donbas separatists and bolster its national security in the Black Sea and along its
western borders. It believed it could do this quickly and with minimal carnage/ damage
…it was wrong. In recent months we have observed a similar level of miscalculation
and folly from the USA/NATO. The economic war unleashed on Russia was calculated to
see its collapse. The re-equiping and expansion of the badly decimated Ukrainian military
was seen as the solution to its military failures ( keep in mind it hasn’t only been the
Russians that have had “incompetent” leadership etc.) … added to that was the infusion
of NATO based training, military planning, access to intelligence and communications
and a gradual build up of forces (especially technical expertise) amongst the ranks of
the Ukrainians. We need to recall the predictions of Russian collapse due to a lack of
munitions, morale and supplies. Predictions of the “Himar’s miracle”. Predictions of the
Russian population rising up against Putin. Statements coming from Kiev, the Pentagon
and London in June/July predicted a Ukrainian military “victory” , the clearing of Luhansk,
Kherson, the Donets and even Crimea by the winter now upon us and the collapse of
Russia’s economy together with massive social unrest … they were wrong !
So, is it “fatigue” or is it a gradual realisation that the “wests” folly is as complete as
“Putin’s” folly ? Whilst the people of Ukraine are paying in blood and devastation,
the economies of the west are also unravelling, as are the geopolitical alignments
that this conflict was hoped it would create. Is there a gradual realisation that
only a diplomatic outcome will stop this idiotic war … a war the USA/NATO started,
with the Russian’s attacking first !
No, you don’t understand. You’re new and will soon find out, the system wants posts to be a certain length and if what one is posting is not, you have to add characters. That’s what that was about.
Yes, Russia started the shooting WAR! No negotiation, no appeals to the United Nations. Russia (Putin) started a war in violation of International Law to which Russia is a signatory!
I see no US/NATO boots on Ukrainian or Russian soil and Russians dying in Russia. I do see Russian boots on Ukrainian soil and Ukrainians dying in their home country by guns in Russian hands.
Stop this desperate attempt of clearing Russia from blame. Putin is a madman and you better watch out because he will drag you down with him when his regime collapses and there will be hell to pay in Russia. It won’t be the first time.
Yo! that’s inside info and you’re passing on to a russki?
Shhh, loose lips sink ships.
Russian Guy, your leader Putin was a leader once, but then he drank too much of Trumps KoolAid and turned into a cold blooded magalomanical homicidal madman.
It’s not the little guys that have started these insane wars, that do nothing but harm everyone.
Look at your beloved Russia, did you really need all this death and destruction and new rounds of horror and hatred revenge at your door step?? I know, we did the shock and awe madness in Iraq, but that doesn’t justify these new rounds of horror against innocent civilians on everyone’s side you silly!
Your beloved leader Putin started and Putin chooses to continue, he’s the monster this time.
