This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Kyiv Independent reports:
‘The EU is working on a proposal to limit imports of Russian liquified gas (LNG) as part of the upcoming 14th package of sanctions, European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson said on May 6, as reported by European Pravda...
...Speaking at a press briefing in Kyiv, Simson said there are currently no sanctions against Russian LNG, but EU energy ministers “made a decision and proposed a tool to limit the access of Russian liquefied natural gas to our energy terminals,” European Pravda reports.
Simson also said the EU is preparing for a sudden end to the Russian pipeline gas supply when the transit contract between Ukraine and Moscow expires at the end of this year.”

Day 800 of my 3 day war. May the 4th. Everything is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen. Honest.
I remain a master strategist.
France formally disputed the deployment of the Foreign Legion’s first 100 military personnel in the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk, which had been reported the day before.

“Why didn’t the drone fire its remaining missile at the helicopter?”
Maybe the operator did not see it.

Day 800 of my 3 day war.
Riddle me this, if it takes 800+ days for a 3 day war by the master strategist in Ukraine, how long does it take him to complete a 7 day war in the Baltics, a much smaller area?

Does it include the mass suicide of all Hamas people?
Ukraine shot down Russian Su-34.

Kazan who has called for my death on FR (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4231804/posts#13) must be VERY SAD.
So sad.
“Russian channel Fighterbomber reports that the crew of a Russian Su-34 died today, claiming the jet went down in battle. We have no confirmation from the Ukrainian side yet.”

Very unfortunate
“Russia apparently lost another Su-34. Both pilots - Yevgeny and Alexander reportedly dead.
This specific plane, marked #21.”

Their BEST
“Russian side whining that their famed “aircraft 21” Su-34 bomber has just been shot down along with what they considered to be their best crew.”

Makes up for the lose of “Juice”. RIP.
“Top Ukraine Official Warns Russia Could Capture ‘Baltics in 7 Days’”
If Russia had invaded the Baltics instead of Ukraine, and NATO didn’t offer any help at all, then sure, Russia could have quickly taken the Baltics by avoiding their cities and just pushing around them. The Baltics have no air force, a tiny army, and a total population of about 1/10th Ukraine’s when they were invaded. The Baltics were always just a “speed bump”. They provided the soil where NATO would smash the Red Army without having to dirty up Western Europe.
But NATO would have stepped in, so it wouldn’t have gone well for the invading army at all. And now, the Russian army doesn’t exist as it did 2 years ago.
The Baltic militaries on the other hand are in much better shape than they were 2 years ago, having invested in new equipment, manpower, training and preparations. They also have NATO quick reaction forces stationed on their soil to crush whatever Soviet era junk Russia might be able to cobble together for a second front. And to make matters even worse for Russia, the Baltic states have 2 new very well equipped NATO members, Finland and Sweden, just to their north. To the south, Poland is also much more prepared.
Long story short, the Baltics are a much tougher nut to crack than they were 2 years ago. If Russia can eventually take Ukraine and Moldova (and spend a few years rebuilding their military), then Romania might be an easier target than today’s Baltics. Hungary and Serbia might just ally with Russia if Romania were to fall, possibly Bulgaria too. If Ukraine and Moldova appear to be at risk of falling, Europe may be forced into the war. Better to fight a decimated Russian Army today than a much stronger Russia a few years down the road. Alternatively, they could go back to sleep and let it happen.
When you are stupid...
“An American soldier was detained in Russia last week on suspicion of theft and is currently being held in pre-trial detention, according to two US officials.
The soldier, a staff sergeant, was arrested on May 2 by Russian authorities, the officials said. He was stationed in South Korea and traveled to Russia of his own volition, they said.”

So, shortly after Patriot missiles are shipped to Ukraine, Ukraine shoots down a Russian Su-34...go figure.
What a moron. Maybe a pedo like the last soldier who ran into NK. Or a commie, like the idiot "Texas" that Russians killed last week. Or caught in a honey trap. Regardless, Russia will get some mileage out of him.
