Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread V
I Was just reading the news and the government here in the Uk is to give Ukraine our spare stormshadow long range cruise missiles. Apparently we bought 1000 and have only used 98. They plan to upgrade some but not as many as they have and so Ukraine is going to get them. They say that some are already in Ukraine right now. Russia of course says they reserve the right to respond appropriately. Interesting to see how they will respond if indeed these missiles are used in the conflict The missiles concerned https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Shadow Edit. Apparently the ones they are Getting only have a range of Mr Wallace said the UK took the decision after Russia "continued down a dark path" of targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.

"In Russia, they were offended by the creators of "Family Guy" for a realistic display of Chelyabinsk and they propose to ban the cartoon “In books, textbooks, films and even cartoons, they deliberately create the image of Russia as a country where everyone is dissatisfied with life, they drink, use drugs, and take bribes,” the State Duma of the Russian Federation complains."

Here are some Russians, they do not appear to be a very elite fighting force and the music could be from an English comedy show: |

Two civilians were wounded according to the head of the Regional Military Administration. The victims are in hospital with shrapnel wounds and burns. Russians hit warehouses belonging to commercial enterprises and a religious organization and remain on fire as of 5 hours ago.

According to an Instagram post shared by the duo, the western city of Ukraine, Ternopil, was hit by missiles fired from Russia. “Ternopil is the name of our hometown, which was bombed by Russia while we sang on the Eurovision stage about our steel hearts, indomitability and will,” read the message shared by Tvorchi. Tvorchi continued, “Europe, unite against evil for the sake of peace! GLORY TO UKRAINE!” According to BBC, the chief of the regional state administration Volodymyr Trush, confirmed there were two people injured in the attack. The British ambassador to Ukraine shared a message on Twitter saying, “Meanwhile, this #Eurovision night Ukraine is under another Russian missile attack.

And poignant as their university home town of Ternopil was targeted by [Russian] missiles this eve.” Their song "Heart of Steel" from the contest this year.
