Kingsnairaland: You are a very poor student of history. Russia pushed Finland and Sweden into making this decision because just like them, Ukraine had an appeasement posture with Russia but that did not stop Russia from attacking Ukraine. They say a stitch in time saves nine. Finland and Sweden are making their stitch in time. Their country, their choice. Same way None of them can tell Russia what to do or not do is same way Russia cannot tell them what to do or not do. |

[quote author=dapoRead post=112854493] Russia did not reach out to Kiev first. Russia went to UN and asked the U.S that is the puppet master of Ukraine to get the puppet to sign a peace deal that will include Ukraine not ing NATO. And this is not Russia demanding a Surrender from Ukraine? What happened? The empire refused and offered nonsense document that did not even involve Russia's security concern. Then Russia started its special military operation and was opened to negotiations. This same Mariupol Russia reached out to the defenders of Azovstal to Surrender ![]() ![]() Kiev following his puppet master could have just accepted the offer from the onset (Just like a more smarter Georgians did in 2008). Accept the offer and live to fight tomorrow. No they decided to fight. By the way, the stupid puppet then did fight too but war ended in 5 days. Another nonsensical gibberish From the position of Strength---- What that call means is simple. THEY ARE LOSING AND MAY NOT BE LONG BEFORE THEY TOTAL MORAL COLLAPSE..

The Nordic country that shares 800-mile border with Russia looks to end decades of non-alignment Finland has formally confirmed it intends to Nato, abandoning decades of military non-alignment in a historic decision triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Finland is applying for Nato hip,” said the country’s president, Sauli Niinistö, at a press conference. “A protected Finland is being born as part of a stable, strong and responsible Nordic region. We gain security and we also share it. It’s good to keep in mind that security isn’t a zero-sum game.” The prime minister, Sanna Marin, said the proposal would now be sent to parliament for ratification. “Our decision is historic,” she said. “As a member of Nato, we will also be responsible for the security of the alliance as a whole.” With neighbouring Sweden’s ruling party also holding a decisive meeting on whether to the 30-member defensive alliance next week, Moscow’s onslaught on Ukraine looks set to usher in the expansion of Nato that Vladimir Putin claimed he wanted to prevent. Finland shares an 810-mile (1,300km) border with Russia and, like Sweden, has maintained strict policies of neutrality then non-alignment since the end of the second world war, viewing Nato hip as a provocation of Moscow. However, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February has led to a profound change in its thinking, with public for Nato accession trebling to about 75%. Polls show a majority of between 50 and 60% are also in favour in Sweden. Three days after Finland’s leaders said it “must apply for Nato hip without delay”, the hip proposal is expected to be laid before parliament for ratification on Monday. Niinistö called his Russian counterpart, Putin, on Saturday and informed him his country aimed to Nato, in a conversation he described as “direct and straightforward”. He added: “Avoiding tensions was considered important.” Russia has repeatedly warned Finland and Sweden against ing Nato, saying such a move would oblige it to “restore military balance” by strengthening its defences in the Baltic Sea region, including by deploying nuclear weapons. Putin responded to Niinistö’s call by saying Nato hip “would be a mistake, since there is no threat to Finland’s security”, according to a readout of the call released by the Kremlin. After a cross-party Swedish parliamentary review on Friday said ing Nato would boost Sweden’s national security and help stabilise the Nordic region, leaders of the country’s ruling Social Democrats were also poised on Sunday to jettison the party’s longstanding opposition to Nato hip. With a decision expected in the early evening, Swedish media reported that – assuming Helsinki sends its application in on Monday – Stockholm is likely to follow suit as early as Tuesday, with the alliance set to launch the accession process immediately afterwards. Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, has said both countries would be “welcomed with open arms” and that the accession process would be quick, though formal approval by all the alliance’s could take several months. However, Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has expressed his opposition to the move, based on what he said was the countries’ accommodating attitude towards the Kurdistan Workers’ party (PKK), which is on the EU’s list of terrorist organisations. Nato’s deputy secretary general, Mircea Geoană, said on Sunday he was confident Turkey’s concerns over Finland and Sweden ing the alliance could be addressed. “I am confident if these countries decide to seek hip in Nato we will be able to welcome them to find all conditions for consensus to be met,” he said. Finland’s foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, also said he was “confident” of reaching an agreement with Turkey. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/15/finland-formally-confirms-intention-to--nato-russia Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun 1 Like 1 Share |

Russian forces have gone ‘from the offensive to the defensive’ as Ukraine launches counter-attack on enemy-held town of Izyum Ukraine appears to have won the battle for Kharkiv, a US report has said, as Russian forces retreated from around the eastern city due to an apparent lack of troop reinforcements. It came as Ukrainian forces launched a counter-offensive to seize back the nearby Russian-controlled strategic town of Izyum in the east, threatening Moscow’s attempts to control the Donbas region by encircling it. If confirmed, the failure to capture Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-biggest city, would be Russia’s second major defeat of the war after losing the battle for Kyiv. It would be a stunning turnaround for Ukraine’s so-called “fortress city”. Kharkiv was almost surrounded and looked certain to fall in the first week of the war as Russian troops poured over the border, which lies just a few dozen kilometres to the north. Russian forces were close to encircling Kharkiv in March, gaining ground around the city and pummelling it with artillery fire from the suburbs. Constant shelling forced hundreds of thousand residents to flee or seek shelter in the city metro or underground shelter while airstrikes turned part of the centre, including the City Hall, to rubble. But apart from once briefly entering a small part of the city, Russian troops have failed to make any inroads amid stiff resistance. That has left them with no choice other than to retreat, according to researchers at the US-based think-tank Institute for the Study of War. “The Russian military has likely decided to withdraw fully from its positions around Kharkiv in the face of the Ukrainian counter-offensives and the limited availability of reinforcements,” it said. “Ukraine thus appears to have won the Battle of Kharkiv.” The mayor has said Ukrainian troops have successfully repelled Russia’s attempts to take the city. “They [the Russians] were very close to the city,” Igor Terekhov, mayor of Kharkiv, told the BBC on Saturday. “Thanks to the efforts of Kharkiv territorial defence and the Ukrainian army, the Russians have moved back far from the city towards the Russian border.” “Kharkiv is quiet now, and people are slowly returning to the city.” The apparent withdrawal has led some experts to suggest this might be the beginning of a “tipping point”. Russian forces have “moved from the offensive to the defensive (conversely, the Ukrainians have moved from the defensive to the offensive),” said Dr Mike Martin, a former British Army officer and visiting fellow for war studies at King’s College London. “We’re reaching a bit of a tipping point in the Ukraine War.” Yet, claiming an all-out victory in Kharkiv remains premature. Shelling from retreating Russian forces Shelling could still be heard from central Kharkiv and in neighbouring villages on Saturday, including incoming rounds fired by retreating Russian troops. Some shells fell close to Tsykurny, a village just north-east of the city that was recaptured by Ukrainian forces a week ago. Rounds also landed near the village of Sorokivka, east of Kharkiv and south of the current Russian front-line, locals and soldiers stationed there said. Russian forces are now believed to be focusing on seizing all of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east, as well as guarding supply routes to those regions, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Saturday. Hoping to build on their gains, Ukraine said it had launched a counter-offensive on Saturday near the Russia-held town of Izyum. Russia seized control of the city on April 1 and has occupied it ever since. “The direction of Izyum remains the hottest spot – this is where our armed forces have launched a counter-offensive. The enemy is retreating on some fronts,” Oleg Sinehubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, said in a statement. The successes of Ukrainian forces in recent weeks has prompted Kyiv’s chief of military intelligence to say he was optimistic that the war may be largely over by December. “The breaking point will be in the second part of August,” Maj Gen Kyrylo Budanov told Sky News. “Most of the active combat actions will have finished by the end of this year.” But just as around Kyiv, the receding tide of battle around Kharkiv has left villages badly damaged, with many homes and power lines destroyed. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/05/14/ukraine-has-won-battle-kharkiv-war-reaches-tipping-point/ Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun 22 Likes 6 Shares |

Benny6944: I actually watched this video this morning and was beyond impressed. Those soldiers were speaking Russian but are Ukrainians. This is why that nonsense Putin said about helping Russian speakers in Ukraine is just a load of bullsh**t because almost all Ukrainians speak Russian. The smaller guy told his partner that the Russian Orcs are behind that fence before the other one threw the hand grenade. Notice that no more shots were fired after that grenade landed and exploded? Everywhere went quiet ![]() I am sure that was a direct hit and those Russians at that fence are either dead or gravely wounded ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

Now this is what I call detailed data collation which clearly shows why Russia shifted from infantry fighting to long range missile firing. They knew they were being massively obliterated by the Ukrainian forces. A run of massive losses that was seriously affecting them but even at that Ukraine still adapted and as long as Russia focuses more on cruise missiles then Ukraine pushing them back even further is inevitable. |

Worthy of note is that Graphs from the Oryx visually-confirmed database of equipment losses show why Russia is losing the war in Ukraine, explain the main tactical advantage of the Ukrainian army over the Russians and explain why Ukraine is so successful in defying the Russian invasion: Ukrainians strike on enemy logistics. Analyzing the graphs of lost equipment allows us to highlight the different phases of the war and determine changes in the tactics of the Russian army. Thanks to the Oryx project, which collects and categorizes all video and photo evidence of destroyed and captured military equipment, it is possible to make well-founded conclusions about the course of the war. As the authors of the project say: “Only destroyed equipment, means, and equipment, confirmed by photos or videos belong to the list. Therefore, the actual amount of destroyed equipment significantly exceeds what is on the list.” Some military analysts also note that the amount of the equipment in the video and photo can be distorted in some way (the Ukrainian information policy is not to show all losses). However, one can use not absolute numbers (they are incomplete anyway), but a ratio between the number of losses in Russian and Ukrainian reports. This ratio allows us to draw some interesting conclusions. 1. Overall casualties and the loss of armored vehicles Let’s start with a general graph of all losses for the entire period of hostilities (graphs from Lee Drake): ![]() General loss of equipment The graph shows that Russia followed two approaches in its hostilities: After the first two weeks when the intensity of losses (the slope on the curve on the graph) was the highest (when the Russians moved in columns deep into the territory of Ukraine, which left a lot of destroyed and abandoned equipment), as well as in the beginning of the offensive in the East (early April); In April-May, the intensity of losses of the Russian equipment fell, which reflects a change in tactics – the Russians are trying to avoid battles and more often use long-range artillery strikes. The graph of destroyed equipment confirms this theory: the growth rate of the number of destroyed equipment has fallen since the second week of April. ![]() Number of destroyed vehicles Another interesting graph is the percentage ratio between Russian and Ukrainian equipment lost. Pay attention to the lower right graph, which shows the ratio of total losses. It is again noticeable that with the change in tactics in the East, the Russian army suffered smaller losses for a certain time (as a percentage), but recently Ukrainian troops seem to have adapted and now, the ratio has almost returned to the previous level: one unit of Ukrainian equipment to three units of Russian ones (25% and 75%). ![]() 2. Aviation and air defense From these graphs, one can not only see the different dynamics/different phases of the war and the ratios (it is obvious that Ukraine destroys Russian aircraft faster than air defense systems) but also draw the main conclusion – after two months of the war, the Russians could not dominate the sky. ![]() ![]() 3. Logistics Finally, the graphs for logistics and vehicles clearly show where the main efforts of the Ukrainian Army are targeted: for trucks, the ratio is 1 to 4, and for logistics systems – something like 1 to 15 in favor of Ukrainian forces. ![]() ![]() As a conclusion to the previous two graphs, this diagram illustrates the main tactical preference of the Ukrainian forces: a strike on enemy logistics. The most successful ratio, 1:15 in Ukraine’s favor, is in the logistics. Ukraine’s ratio is the worst with aviation, but even there the coefficient is approximately 1:2.5 – for each of its aircraft shot down, Ukraine takes down 2.5 Russian ones. ![]() https://euromaidanpress.com/2022/05/14/russia-losing-ukraine-war-equipment-losses-show/ Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun 1 Like |

olarent: Russia is simply wasting their own time. Finland refused to pay in Rubles hence their decision to cut them off the 10% they supply. However Finland already had alternative plans and as at 3 weeks ago already began reducing their electricity transmission from Russia because they were ramping up their internal electricity generation as well as gotten an agreement signed with Sweden for supply. Check the date of the attached. Finland is fine. 2 Likes 1 Share |

VeryWickedMan: Finland actually generates its own electricity but they only fall short by 10%. That 10% is what they import from Russia. So What Russia only did was stop the supply of that 10%. Finland on the other hand already had a contingency plan which generates 14% electricity internally to cover up for the 10% loss. As a back up they have also signed an agreement from Sweden for supply 7 Likes 1 Share |
