Ukraine-Russian War

Ukraine-Russian War

They could only do so under cover of that entirely inaccurate term for what they are proposing, rolled over from the NATO military humanitarianism of the 1990s and 2000s. A ‘no-fly zone’ is only such when the powers are so outmatched that one side—effectively, always the US side—is faced with no risk at all. The risk of NATO–Russia air engagement over Ukraine is at the opposite end of the scale. It is an open portal to escalation to the tactical nuclear level. It can only be rationally contemplated by denying its true character. “The hacking collective #Anonymous  hacked into the Russian streaming services Wink and Ivi and live TV channels Russia 24, Channel One, Moscow 24 to broadcast war footage from Ukraine,” @YourAnonNews tweeted.
When global hackers collective Anonymous swiftly declared cyberwar on Moscow last month, they claimed that they were able to affect Kremlin websites along with the Russian defence department and space agency. Australian hackers who have engaged in a cyberwar with Russia and its government could potentially find themselves in legal jeopardy.

Mr Xi stayed away from a dinner attended by 11 heads of states in line with his delegation's COVID-19 policy, a source in the Uzbek government told Reuters on Friday. China's stability-obsessed Communist Party, which is next month likely to give Mr Xi a third leadership term and cement his place as the country's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, has in the past warned against so called "colour revolutions".



Ukrainian soldiers based nearby had spotted the incident from afar using a reconnaissance drone — which they dispatched closer to the scene to capture the extraordinary footage of the couple attempting to flee. The couple took a wrong turn and inadvertently strayed close to the frontlines where Russian troops were based, and their car was hit by incoming fire. International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian official Maria Lvova-Belova — on the charge of illegally deporting thousands of Ukrainian children into Russia. Bolvinov said this is just one of hundreds of alleged Russian war crimes that his team are currently investigating in the Kharkiv region alone, including the discovery of hundreds of bodies in mass graves in Izium. He has more thant 900 investigators on his team, and most of their current work is focused on war crimes cases. The attack was captured on aerial footage by Ukrainian soldiers.
In March, a five-storey apartment block in Zaporizhzia was attacked with a S-300 missile - almost completely destroying the building. And between April 27 and May 2, Russian forces conducted strikes against Ukraine using Kh-101 and Kh-555 long-range Air Launched  Cruise Missiles. Despite Kremlin claims that it is targeting Ukraine's "military-industrial facilities" one of the buildings struck was a nine-storey apartment block. Last week, Russian shelling struck residential buildings, and on Monday they bombed a Red Cross warehouse full of humanitarian aid. And drone footage from Bakhmut appeared to show white phosphorus raining down on a city ablaze.

Russia has laid mines remotely and mechanically, covering significant areas of farmland with scant evidence of either marking minefields or warning civilians about their presence. These mines will leave a legacy of danger long after the conflict ends. Besides this, Russia has bombed industrial facilities, including the Azot chemical plant risking toxic industrial chemical release and environmental impact.
A large collection of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles was filmed in the last couple of days from a passing train, in the area around Voronezh also appears to be getting pretty crowded. CNN geolocated these videos at the village of Sereteno, about 24km from the border. They were uploaded on Ukraine Combat footage Sunday and show tanks moving through the area. The build-up of Russian forces close to the Ukrainian border continues apace, with everything from submarines and amphibious landing ships in the Black Sea to short-range ballistic missiles, tanks and howitzers around Ukraine’s northeastern edges.

Denys will return to his life as a commercial pilot and pilot "YouTuber". The Russian Dude will go back to producing videos on economic issues. And Artur will go back to producing videos on a diverse range of military topics.
This glut of content has even led some commenters to dub the conflict the world’s first viral war. At the same time, acknowledging the war is, ahem, actually a war, could lead to a prison sentence in Russia. One minute there’s war footage, the next goofy TikTok videos.ShutterstockViewing distressing content can have both immediate and longer lasting effects on children. Might they risk a repeat of this operational disaster if they move forces to plug one gap only for another to open up?
How much more can they expect from their forces, many of whom will now have been fighting for long weeks without respite and without much to show for their efforts? By contrast, there will have been a boost to the morale of even the more beleaguered Ukrainian forces . There may also have been a boost to their capabilities from supplies of equipment and ammunition captured in Kharkiv.
