  1. Just in case any of you were planning on staying at the Donbas Hotel in the near future, you might want to check TripAdvisor for updates.

    Hard to tell, this comes just coincidently after Russia claimed it killed 200 Ukrainians in a rail strike. Could be true though. needs to be confirmed. The russia numbers are suspect too.

  3. Putin to West: I must break you.




    Putin increasing his armed forces by an amount roughly equal to what invaded Ukraine?

    Russian corporate profits up 25%?

    Moscow Exchange to restart early morning FX trading?

    I would have thought it would take big balls for Russia to expand trading hours in other currencies. However, the Rouble has remained quite strong over the last few months.

    Edit: Of course there is the energy thing…


    Don’t worry Putin. With Biden as leader of the US and whomever as leaders of the rest of NATO, we will find a way to break ourselves.

    A Ukrainian collaborator (a Ukrainian Russian-occupation official)'s car blown up. With him inside.

    So far there have been a couple of dozen, I think. And the list gets added to every day.

    Sic semper fautores. (Not sure if that's the right word, my Latin is rusty).

    I imagine it's just a matter of time before Russia declares all Ukrainian government terrorist including their drug loving president and start hunting them down

    Also some overly excited estonian MPs who openly support terrorism also should be on watch I believe

    Exactly like the Nazi occupiers declared collaborator-executing resistance fighters "terrorists".

    do you understand difference between what nazis done and what russians do?

    Russians make people on occupied terrories equals, they get citizenship and all help they need
    they can go to russia or whaever country they want

    Is that what exactly nazis done?

    by the way speaking about nazis - we have nazis in this war - Ukranian nazis who do terror against civilians and also disgusting estonian nazi who enthusiastically support this terror on this board
