"A staff member at #Azovstal betrayed Ukraine and told Russians about underground tunnels that lead to the plant.

interestingly, it also refers to them as a "far-right neo-Nazi group" who have expanded into ukraines armed forces.

| | Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine? | Quote: | |  | | | .... it also refers to them as a "far-right neo-Nazi group" who have expanded into ukraines armed forces. | | | | | That part is journalistic opinion.
As the journalist in The Times today says: | Quote: |  | | | While Putin’s apology may have defused for now, the public row between the two countries, as well as the fact that the Russians are using claims that the Zelensky government is “neo-Nazi” to justify the war against Ukraine, will continue to cause a strain in the relations. Israel’s national Holocaust research and commemoration centre, Yad Vashem, has already condemned this as “propagandist discourse”. | | | | | Elsewhere, interesting developments. | Quote: |  | | | Russian generals are “turning in on themselves” because the war in Ukraine is not going to plan, the defence secretary [Ben Wallace] said today. | | | | | |

Elsewhere, interesting developments. | | | | | Also, it seems that the US intelligence services is supplying Intel on Russian generals for Ukraine to take them out.
Not sure if that isn´t a hidden declaration of war.

Not sure if that isn´t a hidden declaration of war. | | | | | It is thoughtless bragging by some US officials that the WH is now trying to walk back. Whoever talked about this to the press should be fired.

Really awful. The Ukrainians are playing the perfect Israeli in neither confirming nor denying strikes on Russian territory. And now some stupid asshole in the Pentagon or State can't keep his mouth shut.

| | Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine? | Quote: | |  | | | That is what I was thinking, it shows that the US really do want Russia to be gone as a power, even a local one. | | | | | Russia should have been happy with bossing around central-asian republics or all sorts of -stans, but no, as the Ottomans before they wanted the big prize - Europe, perhaps the entire world. 
Ottomans were done and buried (oh well, with Erdogan's new aggressive nationalism they try to revive what is dead for more than a century, it's almost comical), we're expecting Russia as a regional or world power to follow suit....

| | Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine? https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/05/5/7344206/ According Ukrainska Pravda sources close to Zelenskyy, the Prime Minister of the United KingdomBoris Johnson, who appeared in the capital almost without warning, brought two simple messages.
The first is that Putin is a war criminal, he should be pressured, not negotiated with. And the second is that even if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they are not. |
