Russia has given Ukraine until 5am local time to surrender Mariupol.

There's about 130,000 civilians left in the city. It's surrounded and Russia has made huge inroads in to the centre.

I dread to think what will happen tomorrow.

We can't keep on standing by and watch what's happening. We have to help.

All I've seen is a shopping centre attack.

I pop onto RT News from time to time. Their coverage is getting less and less now. The only noteworthy comment is about a Ukrainian Doctor saying he will castrate every Russian PoW his team gets their hands on.

The more desperate they become the more desperate the measures will be. It's utterly tragic for everyone involved, even the Russians.

RAF circling around in Eastern Poland as we speak. Probably on a NATO excercise and nothing to do with the war.Image

I've no idea if this is true. That's a high number of it is. It would explain the decision to carry out attacks from distance.

NATO are clearly giving coordinates to Ukraine. It's the only way to explain the high number of successful ambushes.

I want to know the true middle ground of where the fault lies between NATO and Russia. I bet it's a lot closer to the middle or possibly even NATO at fault than the media portray. I wonder how much propaganda we've been receiving over the decades.

There's also IIRC 8 commercial companies operating earth imaging satellites now, some of them have almost proper spy satellite quality imaging and some even use Synthetic Aperture Radar so can see through cloud cover and at night.
Last update that I saw said 5 of those companies are supplying images to the Ukrainian government so they're getting very regular updates on military movements just from that.

Russia's fault and Russia's alone.... they invaded Ukraine and that's all there is to it. How could NATO be in any way responsible for one non-NATO country invading another country, which is also non-NATO ...?????
