[CONSOLIDATED][Russia Edition] General discussion on Ukraine/Russia war

[Dracky]

The outbreak of the Israel-Iran war should send oil prices up and that will be good for Russia.

I wonder if Russia will supply Iran with guidance system for ballistic missiles in return for some Iran's supply of drones to Russia.

If the Russian did not attack Ukraine, will the Russian army be strong and hold the country together?

Russia would have been able to provide military support to Assad in Syria and the ayatollah Khomeini in Iran.

Russia would have been able to provide military support to Assad in Syria and the ayatollah Khomeini in Iran.

How come after attacking Ukraine Russia is now not able to provide substantial military support to Assad in Syria and the ayatollah Khomeini in Iran ? Russia is a big country you know?

Because Russia lost over 1 million soldiers and a lot of military equipment. Russia is already getting North Korean troops and Iranian ammo to use in Ukraine.

At a Nato press conference in the Netherlands, President Trump took a question from Myroslava Petsa from the BBC Ukrainian Service.

She asked whether the US would be supplying Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine.

Trump then asked where she was from and took an interest in her personal situation, asking whether her husband was a soldier in Ukraine, to which she said yes.

"I wish you a lot of luck, I can see this is very upsetting to you and say hello to your husband," he concluded.

Nato leaders have agreed to ramp up defence spending to 5% of their countries' economic output by 2035, following months of pressure from Donald Trump.

The US president described the decision, taken at a summit in The Hague, as a "big win for Europe and... Western civilisation".

A Texan father who moved his family to Russia to escape “woke” America has been sent to the front line.

Derek Huffman, 46, relocated to the small town of Istra, around 25 miles from Moscow, with his wife, their three daughters and their husky earlier this year.

They did this through Russia’s “shared values” visa scheme, aimed at attracting foreigners who reject what Vladimir Putin calls “destructive neoliberal ideology”.

Mr Huffman had initially agreed to join the Russian military in a non-combat capacity, thinking at first he would be a welder and later a war correspondent.

But despite having no experience as a soldier and limited understanding of the Russian language, he has been sent “near” the front line in the war with Ukraine, according to his wife.

DeAnna Huffman said her husband felt he was being “thrown to the wolves” given that he had only received a limited amount of training, and that it was in Russian.

“Unfortunately, when you’re taught in a different language, and you don’t understand the language, how are you really getting taught?” she pondered in a vlog uploaded to the family’s YouTube channel.

“You’re not. So, unfortunately, he feels like he’s being thrown to the wolves right now, and he’s kind of having to lean on faith, and that’s what we’re all doing.”
