Isn’t it wonderful, they must be so relieved to be home. I look back to the time of watching the siege of Mariupol and then the surrender and thinking the most horrid things would happen to these brave men, thank goodness so many have survived and will get to see their families again.

Why do I get the impression that Russia is terrified of cluster munitions in Ukraine's hands?

We are having so many 'concerned' visitors on this very topic.

Time to donate to the Ukraine defence cookie jar

This is the official Ukrainian fundraising platform. Visitors have a positive impact

@blueshoes was thinking exactly the same! They’re easy to spot, aren’t they?!

I think there are concerns because they are awful weopons. But ... Ukraine has a very tough challenge and conventional munitions are running out.

Actually I looked Headstone up and I think they are genuine. Just .... ... er ..... inexperienced and havent done any homework. At all.

And thank you @MagicFox and all regulars for your excellent work.

slava ukrani 💪

All human beings are capable of terrible things, particularly in conflicts. Europeans and Americans have proved that. Once the moral high ground is lost support for Ukraine will wane, even those that like a good war. This was a poor decision from Biden.

That's what discipline is for, @headstone.

Research and a bit of intelligent thinking is what's needed on behalf of observers and commentators, @headstone

Yah boo sucks to vatniks I did note they looked in good health. I am hoping they weren't mistreated in captivity. They have been through hell.

You could of course help by supporting Ukraine financially too.

Out of interest what's your take on the variety of weapons used by russians on Ukrainian civilian targets

Do you see how that differs from targeting invaders.

Headstone, please use your head. A little critical thinking on your part will not go amiss.

Tell me how did Ukraine find itself in this conflicts to begin with? Wars are not won on moral high ground. You cannot criticise one decision by Biden to supply a particular type of weapon which is particularly effective to Ukraine at this stage in their offensive defence of their territory without considering the entire context of the disgusting weapons and tactics that Russia is using to target civilians in Ukraine.

So you are saying that Ukraine should defend its civilians from torture, murder and rape with one hand tied behind its back because they need to maintain the moral high ground?

Sorry, but you must be living in cloud cuckoo land.

.

In a way I find useful idiots far more frustrating than outright bots who I suspect don’t believe their own bullshit and just want the money!

Yes.

And even if I am wrong, I have just donated to Unite24 anyway because troll views just remind me why Russia is a scrouge to be eliminated.

PS my donation to Ukraine was for humanitarian mineclearing, which I am sure Ukraine will prioritise once that section is liberated.

Ditto

👌👍💪

Why are you joking about donating, soanywayyeah?

You could actually donate, rather than just making amputees the butt of your wit.

God knows there are enough people who have lost limbs already in Ukraine, thanks to Russian mines, shelling, booby traps and torture. They could do with your support.

Looks like Russia is shitting themselves over the cluster bombs. We are on the right path.

Welcome to mn, soanywayyeah.
