Russian invasion of Ukraine

The Royal Marines have taken part in covert operations in Ukraine, a senior general has admitted for the first time.

Lieutenant General Robert Magowan said the commandos supported “discreet operations” in a “hugely sensitive environment”. He said their missions carried “a high level of political and military risk”.
 
These partisans seem to be well resourced and striking all the right places.
Yeah,in a good few areas also.
I'm presuming any dead from the explosion are Russian or collaborators.
I don't think the Russians would of caused the explosion,and the body/bodies were covered up.
If it was partisan that was killed,I think they would of left them uncovered,as a warning to others.
You never know though,with this lot.

Slava Ukraini.
 
We had a prime minister who was twice (twice!) sacked from previous jobs for lying. He was censored by UK statistics when foreign secretary for misleading. He then won a big majority in a General Election. He was then sacked by his own party as prime minister for lying, and he subsequently ran another campaign to become prime minister, supported by a significant proportion of his own MPs. He remains under investigation by the House of Commons for lying about a different matter.

(These are all simple facts, not opinion)

Now, Putin is a murderous, kleptocratic fascist dictator, so overall utterly different to the UK. But as far as admiring liars goes? I don't think we're in a place we can criticise anyone.
All politicians lie. They all do it. From stretching the truth to outright untruths.
Every UK voter is aware of it as are citizens of dictatorships - there are no rose coloured spectacles available - except maybe to supporters of opposition parties who like to think their own party is pure.
 
No idea what's going on,maybe a blag to pull Ukrainian forces North from the South.
Early this morning Lukashenko called a surprise "combat ready" exercise drill.
Now Belarusian troops are just outside Lukovo,about 5km North of the Ukrainian border.
Also a large convoy of Belarusian military vehicles heading to Brest,also closer to the border.
Add to that,the Russians have been sending tanks as well.
Any ideas?

Slava Ukraini.

Most don’t tell the whole truth but Johnson simply tells outright whoppers. No one compares to him in mainstream U.K. politics in the lying stakes.

This was only to defend the embassy and staff. At the start of the war and when the embassy was reopened in April. They have not been used offensively on the front lines. The Times article (as visible in front of the paywall) does not make this clear, and as such is thus a terrible misjudgement by The Tmes.
