    Im sure Ukraine is busy dealing with important issues, rather than pandering to some bloke expecting a grand tour, when his position is ceremonial.

    A democratically elected government is a "regime".
    Yes indeed. A regime that has-


    • Banned Opposition parties
    • Jailed Opposition leaders
    • Openly assassinated a Ukrainian peace negotiator on the steps of Parliament House
    • Closed it's borders to the vast majority of the male population
    • Whose leader has illegal offshore wealth contributed by the same guy who is the biggest funder of the Far Right militia



    Seems like history is repeating itself- the Russians vs the Nazis. We all know who won that one, and WW2 in the process.

    Hope he likes Borscht.


    Incidentally, I would like to learn more about this malcontent POW.
    What brought him to fight for a Ukrainian militia, as a brit citizen?
    Is he of Ukrainian ethnicity, or family background?
    Does he have any Far Right affiliations? Millwall supporter?
    Does he have a criminal record?
    His employment & education history?
    His military experience, if any?

    In the Kharkiv region, the Russian Army captured British armored personnel carriers AT105 "Saxon" of the 70s, decommissioned by the troops of the kingdom in 2008 and delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2015.

    Russian media analyst Julia Davis writes about state television in Russia and how the Kremlin's propaganda has been taking aim at the United States and U.S. elections.

    If Russian propaganda determines American elections, why doesn't American propaganda matter one rats arse to Russian elections?

    Maybe next time you post the second part and stop posting like a communist newspaper with only the raisins that fit you

    While the word régime originates as a synonym for any type of government, modern usage has given it a negative connotation, implying an authoritarian government or dictatorship. Webster's definition states that the word régime refers simply to a form of government, while Oxford English Dictionary defines regime as "a government, especially an authoritarian one".


    I guess your not up to date as always. Did you know that there is a war going on in Europe?

    Steinmeier was and is a complete failure. At the end the politicians elected him as President because he failed with everything else.
    Steinmeier is a typical german cock sucking kraut with no spine what so ever. He stood by Schröders politics and defended Russian politics until the end. Just wonder how much money he sacked in on the side. His SPD buddy Schröder got a high paying job including two adoptive Russian kids as a present. CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!! Where was the outcry from the spinelss krauts? To adopt children from Russia is not allowed in Germany and in Russia. Absolute NO Go.

    I'am glad that European countries are stepping up to the plate and disagreeing with the hypocrisy german politics. The opposition never had the balls (actually there was none) to speak up and the press was too busy reporting about refugees and Trump.

    Next shake down? If LePen wins in France I can only blame Germany/Merkel for this disaster.

    Merkel was the worst thing that ever happened to Germany! It's all just starting to unfold.

    A Ukrainian navy missile battery reportedly has struck the Russian navy cruiser Moskvaoff the coast of Odessa, a strategic port city on the Black Sea in southwest Ukraine.


    Multiple Ukrainian government officials claimed Wednesday that a Neptune anti-ship battery, apparently hidden in or around Odessa, scored two hits on Moskva, setting the 612-foot vessel ablaze.

    Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Kyiv, announced the strike. So did Maksym Marchenko, head of the administration in Odessa. “Neptune missiles … caused very serious damage to the Russian ship,” Marchenko said.

    An audio recording, purportedly of Ukrainian troops reporting the attack on the cruiser, circulated on social media.

    Russian state media confirmed the ship was on fire and the crew evacuated, but blamed the blaze on an accidental ammunition explosion. Moskva reportedly later sank.

    The Neptune system fires R-360 cruise missiles that fly at low altitude as far as 180 miles. The missile borrows its booster from the S-125 anti-air missile and uses an MS-400 turbojet for cruising.
    The radar seeker head has a detection range of around 30 miles.

    A Neptune battery includes a truck-mounted launcher with four rounds, a command truck and a pair of resupply trucks plus links to a mobile Mineral-U radar with a 370-mile range.

    If the Ukrainians really did hit Moskva with a Neptune or two, it means they first managed to cobble together, man and deploy at least one complete battery with all its supporting systems—all in the middle of a devastating war.

    It also means they fed accurate targeting data to the battery, via a drone, land-based radar or some other sensor. None of this is easy, but it’s certainly possible.

    What do you mean "cobble together"? The Ukrainians created the Neptune missile and have had it in service for a year already.
