Here is where they drove the Russians back, a key supply route to Kyiv, the highway junction at Makarov. If the Belarus railways are disrupted or cut, the Russians west of Kyiv would be soon screwed. The Ukrainians are putting constant heat on them and forcing them to use up troops and ammunition. So they won't last long and might regret wasting all that ammunition on Kyiv and the surrounding communities instead of using it to defend themselves.

I'm just going by probabilities, but he was the bridge between Russian military intelligence and Stone. He has the rest of his life to lose in a US prison and the DOJ wants Stone so bad they can taste it. They don't like pardons by corrupt presidents and Roger never had to face the music for the real deal. With the background of current events, it's a bad time to get tried as a Russian agent.

Well the news I read is he will be arriving fairly soon and I don't think he has any great ideological cause to defend. It is highly probable and I have no doubt Roger knows every detail of the case and is worried.

Julian Assange is dealt a legal blow as he fights extradition to the U.S.
Britain's top court on Monday refused WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange permission to appeal against a decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face spying charges.

Who is Russia's top commander in Ukraine? The US isn't sure.
The US has been unable to determine if Russia has designated a military commander responsible for leading the country's war in Ukraine, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter — something that current and former defense officials say is likely a key contributor to the apparent clumsiness and disorganization of the Russian assault.
Without a top, theater-wide commander on the ground in or near Ukraine, units from different Russian military districts operating in different parts of Ukraine appear to be competing for resources rather than coordinating their efforts, according to two US defense officials.

Now that US and other intelligence agencies along with the pentagon have had a real close look at the Russian military this past month. I'm sure they are tailoring the weapons systems and other things to the requirements of the Ukrainians and making them even more effective Russian killers. Because they have been mostly ambushing the Russian advances and fighting defensively, trading turf for time, the ratio of Russian dead and wounded to Ukrainians is high. The Ukrainians are taking loses, but they are probably gaining experience because they tend to have a better chance of living by fighting smarter.
We haven't heard much about IED,s, mines or suicide bombers, associated with asymmetrical warfare, because it's an even fight at this point. That's not to say the Ukrainians won't have the roads lined with IEDs, along the Russian's lines of advance, or even retreat. It is easier to blow them up from a mile or two away, than to take fire shooting at them

I concur with “probable”. “Chickens hatched”. Until he is transferred into our custody without perhaps a sudden polonium supplement, I’m not ready to wager.Julian Assange is dealt a legal blow as he fights extradition to the U.S.

Roger is all he has to deal with and it could mean a lot of charges dropped and being deported back home, he already did a lot of time.

They expended most of that combat power pounding civilians and committing war crimes against civilians in the cities and have probably used up much of the stocks of missiles and even the shells they brought in with them. The Ukrainians have also been blowing up their logistics and going after their weak link, trucks.DoD official: Russia’s hypersonic missile boast ‘a bit of a head-scratcher’

Russia’s claim about the hypersonic missile has drawn scrutiny from arms observers in recent days, and the senior DoD official described the weapon’s alleged deployment as confusing given the circumstances of its use.
Hypersonic missiles fly faster than five times the speed of sound and are maneuverable, making them difficult to shoot down. All ballistic missiles can achieve hypersonic speeds, but the Russians claim the Kinzhal can also be guided during flight, changing course to avoid air defenses. It is not clear if this missile used that capability or if it operated as a traditional ballistic missile.

It is not clear if this missile used that capability or if it operated as a traditional ballistic missile.
“It’s a bit of a head-scratcher, to be honest with you, because it’s not exactly clear why — if it’s true — why would you need a hypersonic missile fired from not that far away to hit a building?” the official said.
Russia’s use of a hypersonic missile could serve as a sign that its forces are “running low on precision-guided munitions and feel like they need to tap into that resource,” the official said.
It is also possible that Russia is “trying to send a message” to Ukraine and the West by using the weapon and “trying to gain some leverage at the negotiating table,” the official added. “But … from a military perspective, if it was a hypersonic missile, there’s not a whole lot of practicality about it.”
More than three weeks into its invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces are still “looking for a chance to break out” and achieve “some momentum” in the country, the official said. However, it is “very clear that the Ukrainians are showing no signs of stopping their resistance.”
As a result, Russian forces are engaged in a “near-desperate attempt” to make gains and “potentially get some leverage” when it comes time to negotiating an end to the fighting, the official said.
Russia’s combat power is operating at “just below 90 percent,” and Russian forces have fired 1,100 missiles in total since the start of the invasion, according to the official.

When the time comes to defend themselves from the Ukrainian forces attacking them, they might regret the waste of ammo.

I heard a lady in Mariupol talking to the BBC about the hospitals being bombed. She said, "every damn thing is being bombed, so of course they are hitting the hospitals. They are hitting everything."WHO: 15 dead in more than 60 attacks on Ukrainian health care facilities
At least 15 people have died in attacks on Ukrainian health care facilities in the Russian invasion according to the World Health Organization on Tuesday.
As NBC News reported, the WHO said there have been at least 15 deaths and 37 injuries resulting from more than 60 attacks on Ukrainian health care facilities as of Friday. The organization is working to confirm other attacks that are believed to have occurred since the start of the invasion.
A WHO spokesperson told NBC that attack on health care may constitute violations of international law as they “cause death and injury and deprive people of urgently needed health care."
Jarno Habicht, WHO Representative in Ukraine, said in an interview published on Monday, "There is no safe place in Ukraine right now, yet we need to ensure that health services are available."
"People are running out of food and water, and hospitals might not have electricity. Worse still, we have seen many attacks on health workers and health facilities as well as patients. This is happening daily and is unacceptable," he added.
Since Moscow's attack on Ukraine began, maternity wards and cancer hospitals have been attacked. A bombing at a children's hospital in Mariupol earlier this month resulted in three deaths, including a child and a pregnant woman.

I think the Ukrainians have been electing tough mayors, the mayor of Kyiv was a boxer and a big guy, I saw his brother on TV and he is a fucking monster! He would fill the average conscript, Russian or Ukrainian's, short's pretty quick with one look! Paratrooper material for sure.
