Russia invasion 'called Putin’s bluff' & New York 'falls' to Moscow | Ukraine: The Latest

[@heberje]

There is some acceptance from the Kursk population towards the Ukrainian offense. many folks in the Kursk Oblast speak Ukrainian and identify as Ukrainians.

[@stream2watch]

It is like the silicone curtain channel said the other day "Russia is not a nation, it is a territory". Who cares who owns it, and which shape the territory has.

[@Sean-Byrne]

Yes of course but the same can be said about the Donbas region of Ukraine having citizens which identify as Russian and speak Russian, and other regions of Eastern Europe its no surprise given they were all under the one flag not that long ago. I just wish this war would end so people could stop dying. There’s not going to be an outcome where either side is happy, both have lost too much already. And this war is also beginning to hurt other countries too my country has had a housing crisis going on a decade it’s impossible to get a house but we have taken in so many refugees. Men also not real men like the heroes who defend their home but ones who flee for opportunity.

I fully agree that it is very cynical of westerners to demand Ukraininas to join the army whilst not giving them the means to achieve victory.

That is why I think that the West is not honest.

In Elon Musk's interview with Donald Trump in an off guarded moment that was meant to show what a powerful president he was, admitted that the reason Russia invaded had nothing to with Putin's alleged expansionist dreams.

Could someone tell me what happened to the idea of sending Swedish Gripen jets? My understanding is they are compatible with Ukrainian needs (can take off from short rough run ways and be well hidden), are relatively cheaper than other planes like F35s and are more modern than F-16s. Plus they have been exported and built outside Sweden for some years.

[@tawektawek3838]

I'd be interested to know too. Below is what I've read from googling news reports of the last month. A bit of a confused picture, which isn't surprising while discussions are ongoing: The Economist: Ukraine has been pleased by French and Swedish offers of Mirage and Gripen fighter jets. But there are advantages of flying a single type of aircraft... Kyiv Independent: Sweden open to sending Gripens to Ukraine after 'F-16 program completed,' decision up to Kyiv. Yahoo News: Swedish defence minister: Sweden is pausing plans to send Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine in order to allow for the introduction of F-16 fighter jets. MSM: Royal United Services Institute identified the Swedish aircraft as the most appropriate Western-manufactured combat jet to answer the operational needs of Ukraine

[@evilaquaman]

I think they are welcome but there is a training lag and compatibility issue with NATO systems. Playing the long game, no rush.

[@prof_kaos9341]

More training of pilots & ground crew, more unique logistics, very few available. There are dozens of Gripens v thousands of F-16. The USA has 100s in several stashes in desert states. How many countries use & are training F-16 pilots & ground crew v just Sweden.

"As of August 20, the operational and strategic situation remains difficult, […] the situation is tense on Orekhov and Dnieper directions," he said, speaking via video conference at the Congress of local and regional authorities under the president of Ukraine. His report was aired by the Rada TV channel. Syrsky acknowledged that the Russian forces have been maintaining a 3:1 advantage over the Ukrainian army in use of artillery shells in the past two months. Previously, the Ukrainian commander-in-chief informed Zelensky about difficult combat near Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk) in Kiev-controlled parts of DPR.

The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the successful attack and supported the claims with the footage filmed by Russian reconnaissance UAV in Ukrainian rear. As a result of the precision attack, the command staff of the 47th brigade of the AFU suffered heavy losses. The command post of the ‘elite’ Ukrainian Magura brigade was destroyed in the town of Gluhov. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the strike was launched at night from a Su-34 fighter jet with aviation bombs with universal planning and correction modules. This notorious AFU unit was equipped by the NATO military and consists of servicemen trained in NATO countries. They were thrown into the battles in the Zaporozhie region, then to the Avdeevka front. Today, the elite unit is involved in the ongoing operations in the Russian Kursk region. However, no NATO military equipment nor training help them to achieve any victories and hide from the devastating strikes of Russian missiles.
