    Ch4 News are doing a sterling job of covering the invasion. Matt Frei in Kyiv, and Lyndsey Hilsum near the front line is one tough cookie.
    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

        2-3 days I expect CIA before delivers a lot of new missiles - then it's going to be an open season, but expect the local useful idiots to claim that the real truth channel says that there were no losses among the liberating forces.

        In the meantime even local criminals are playing a valueable role.

          Right now it's like this - you either for Ukraine or against (and thus for Russia).
          Well, I'm kind of for the Russians who are protesting this action.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Easy test is to ask them one simple question - "Whose Crimea is it?"

            Anyway, where is that PoS cannon - did the funding got cut after that invasion gone ahead? Would make sense for sure.

              "all for peace" isn't protesting, it's deflecting.

              All for peace on whose terms, Russian?

                "Ukrainian soldiers defy Russian advance on Kharkiv using British anti-tank missiles

                Russia’s First Guards Tank Army run into fierce resistance on the city’s ring road as casualties of Vladimir Putin’s invasion begin to mount"

                “The tank – that was an NLAW,” said a Ukrainian soldier speaking Russian** at the scene of the fight on Thursday afternoon. “How do you say in English ‘God save the Queen?’”*

                https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...kharkiv-putin/

                It's the city that many expected to fall first because of it's proximity to the Russian border - it did not!
                NLAWs supplied by Britain, before everybody else, made the fooking difference!

                That enabled Javelins and later Stingers - got troops morale up big time, it's the difference between losing the war or winning it.

                * deserves a KBE me thinking
                ** Russian was a normal "battle language", at least in the first few years of war, things are changing now

                  These weapons changed the war -



                  Looks like it's different shot from the same blown up tank as I posted last page, so that means it was NLAW rather than Javelin
