"The deployment continues of military equipment and Russian mercenaries to the front lines," spokesman Andriy Lysenko said in a televised briefing referring to Thursday's cross-border incursion.

Who’s going to stop Russia if they continue an invasion?
Russia is going to stop Russia. They simply can’t afford to invade & occupy Ukraine without crashing their economy.
Don’t believe the Putinist hype. Russia a kleptocratic paper tiger. A petrostate with an economy the size of Italy. Their Black Sea flagship Kerch is such a piece of rusty junk that it needs to be scrapped after the crew failed to extinguish a small fire a couple days ago. ETC. ETC.
I don’t see that happening.
We can always try sanctions . . . /sarc
Now theyre in for it. Obama is going to get the UN to send those russkies a strongly worded letter!
OMG !!!! THATS SOOOO FUNNY!! wow. dude, you seriously need another joke.
Maybe you should just stick to posting your ‘I love Putin’ messages, you turn out to be a much funnier joke that way.
Just a thought.
Nice job, you beat them by 4 posts.
Poor Europe, now that the election is history, our p*ssy in chief no longer has to put up the pretense that he is a tough guy. Putin is free to bully all he wants.
Advice to America, next time you elect a gay man to be CIC please make sure he is an exclusive top.
Russia is losing more than $20 per barrel of oil sold.

Our own USS Miami, a Los Angeles-class nuke sub, was stricken in March from an onboard fire.
The Flagship of the Black Sea Fleet is the Moskva, not the Kerch. Kerch is a sub-chaser/ Kara class from 1968, and is the last of class still in service.
The fire damaged a section at the rear of the ship, not the whole ship. Due to it’s age, though, I would expect it to be stricken.

Right after our midterms. The Russians want to grab as much as they can while the dem weenies are still in the drivers seat.
NATO General Says Alliance
Planning Large-Scale Maneuvers
Near Russian Border
Aw Jeez. Not this invading stuff again.
The US and the west have done nothing to support Ukraine while Russia prepares for the next round.
They want a land bridge to Crimea, at least. That will be the next assault.
The US and the west has done nothing for Ukraine while Russia prepares.
I have not been on the forum here in a while (have been lurking), but I have dozens of friends in Ukraine (mostly in Kyiv and Lviv). Please keep them in your prayers.
An excuse to restart the Ukie offensive, nothing more.
Russia is going to restart it when they are ready.
Pootie knows his window of opportunity is shrinking. The feckless POTUS will look helpless again at our expense.
That’s what happens when you violently overthrow a democratically elected President.
