Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Exactly - blowing up a couple of apartment blocks in Moscow would be more Russia's style. Fuel is important to Putin, a few hundred Russian civilians are not.

BBC News - Russian MP says Putin's plan for Ukraine hasn't been shared with their parliament

So, the Duma doesn't know what the plan actually is, but it's going to plan, whatever it is. And they're deliberately advancing slowly to avoid civilian casualties? Yeah, right!

More counter sanctions coming as they look to limit food exports.

But how can they say with a straight face that its "going to plan" when the NovoFuhrer hasn't shared the plan with them. At this rate the black comedy "Death of Stalin" was actually a documentary !!!

Yet other countries are buying far more oil and gas than India are. Also USA has quietly dropped Uranium from it's sanctions as it is needed for it's nuclear reactors as well as fertilizer. It is just hypocritical really, you can't threaten others when you are doing the same thing.

Well they only have one carrier and its a disaster. Its heading to Dry Dock for repairs. I reckon it should be left floating as its a massive moneypit and has been an operational disaster for them.

Taking out one of the Missile Cruisers in the Black Sea would be far more beneficial to the Ukrainians and as you say would be a highly visible act that would be hard to shield from the Russian public. Providing the Ukrainians with Anti-ship missiles could tick that box easily. Something like the Harpoon missile.

When I see such big mysterious events, which will help Ukraine I always think it is a CIA operation.

Belgorod is near the border south of Sumy and North of Kharkiv. There is recently made white space there where Russian forces have withdrawn/retreated so no longer control, and it runs right up to their border so it's not impossible that it was the Ukrainians in this instance.

Although I'm not seeing the fire on FIRMS yet if it would appear there.

I know don't believe anything when it comes to Russia ,but there's been no outrage from them about being attacked on their own soil and nothing from the US about planned false flags either,

It's an odd one especially being it's the second time the same city has been hit by Ukraine ,

Wunderwaffle weapons too ,that we can definitely agree on ,the Armada unstoppable tank ,the terminator IFV unstoppable because it has two 30 mm canons instead of the usual one ,the su57 stealth aircraft that have been detected by 4th generation aircrafts radar , which means everyone else can see it too ,

There hypersonic missiles that are only an air launched ballistic missile fired in a steep arch .

It's Aprils fools everyday in Moscow

If it's a Ukrainian strike, then it's more embarrassing to Russia than anything. A delay from them usually means they are deciding how to spin it. If they acknowledge it too much, then it gets into Russian media, next thing Russians are asking how is the operation going so well if Ukrainian helicopters can just fly into Russia and blow up their fuel reserves..

Remember, they claim to have neutralised the Ukr air force. Imagine a helicopter attack taking place on mainland US. It's definitely embarrassing for them, but of course I expect them to spin the hell out of it somehow.

If however it's a false flag by Russia, it's a bit of a strange one.

Lavrov claiming talks going well and should be continued. Talking about Ukrainians ceding on Russia's place in the Donbass and giving up on joining a bloc like NATO or the EU?? Surely he's wrong there?

You're 100% correct, I mistakenly thought they had a few. I'd settle for a destroyer though, one far removed from the current conflict, so as to leave them puzzled.

Yer wan is long past her sell by date in more ways than one.

Should be retired by RTE or relegated to the likes of the Meaning of Life shows.

I don't particularly understand the notion that attacking a Fuel Depot is a good false flag.

Surely the Helicopters should be acting as 'Nazi's' by attacking civilians.

Fuel Depot's are legitimate military targets - and it helps put a dent into the existing logistics issues supplying frontline Russian troops.

I would imagine the Ukrainian government would quite like the False Flag narrative to be popular- hence why they are not claiming it. Similar to an attack on the 25th of Feb which they did not claim either.
