Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Yulia Navalnaya is who you want for security and Defense in the next European Commission. Putin might actually die from laughing

Notice how they didn't ask to be a part of Russia, like some earlier speculations suggested. Even Transnistria knows joining Russia would just mean a lot of draft notices airdropped over Tiraspol.

Going by Wikipedia, they use Chisinau airport -> road but that was prior to 2022

From that linked article:

Not sure how much resupplying actually goes on there based on that analysis

Here is part of transcript of Yulia Navalnaya at the European parliament that you mention for context.

However, I'm standing here because your voters have an important question. They are asking you about it and then you are asking me. The question is: "How can I help you in your fight?" Last Saturday was two years since Putin started a full-scale war against Ukraine. A brutal and sneaky war. The whole world rushed to Ukraine's aid, but two years passed.

There is much exhaustion, much blood, much disappointment. And Putin has gone nowhere. Everything has already been used: weapons, money, sanctions. Nothing is working. And the worst has happened. Everyone got too used to the war. Here and there, people start to say: "Well, we'll have to come to an agreement with Putin anyway". And then Putin killed my husband, Alexei Navalny. 

Further down:

... In this fight, you have reliable allies. There are tens of millions of Russians who are against war, against Putin, against the evil he brings. We must not persecute them. On the contrary, you must work with them, with us.

I dont see anything wrong with this? There are millions of Russians against this war and against Putin, I am sure of that. Inside Russia is extremely repressive that makes the fight against putin almost impossible. Plus years of this has surely worn down the population.

I also have said here way back that russia is no longer a country, it is as Yulia said, a mafia organisation with Putin at the top. So maybe, as she said, we need to be going after the lawyers, bankers, money people world wide who are running this mafia empire, go after its funding in that way, instead of seeing it as a state. Treat it like and Dismantle this crime empire as has been done many times across the world in the past.

Fair enough.

Im not seeing that - " She seems to be largely saying that aiding Ukraine is not the answer " .. all she seems to be saying is we are treating Russia like another country and as a country waging war vs in fact in this case its essentially a mafia organisation INSIDE a country that is waging this war.

She did not say NOT to fund Ukraine, nor did she say Ukraine should stop .. from what I see is she is offering on top of this a different perspective that could be used in tandem. Anyway, thats how I read it / listened to above

BTW when you go to this video link of her speech below, there is a tab called SHOTLIST - thats where the text transcript of her speech is:

Putin ally accuses Macron of trying to ignite Third World War to stay in powerIf Emmanuel Macron sends any troops to Ukraine they will meet the same end as Napoleon Bonaparte's army, whose 1812 invasion of Russia ended in death and defeat, an ally of Vladimir Putin has warned.

Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of the State Duma, hit out at the French president after he refused to rule out putting troops on the ground in Ukraine on Monday.

Mr Molodin said Mr Macron appeared to see himself as Napoleon and warned him against following in the footsteps of the French emperor.

"To maintain his personal power, Macron could not think of anything better than to ignite a Third World War. His initiatives are becoming dangerous for the citizens of France," Mr Volodin said.

"Before making such statements, it would be right for Macron to remember how it ended for Napoleon and his soldiers, more than 600,000 of whom were left lying in the damp earth."

What happened in Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia?

Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia made rapid progress initially and captured Moscow. 

But Russian tactics forced his Grande Armee into a long retreat and hundreds of thousands of his men died as a result of disease, starvation and cold.

They mat have done it again, again and....again?

Massive arms dump there though - Cobasna 

The military depot in Cobasna was created in the 1940s in the Ribnita district, then the Moldavian SSR, now the separatist region of Transnistria.

Currently, about 20,000 tons of weapons and ammunition are stored at this warehouse, of which 57% are obsolete and cannot be used or transported, and access to the area is strictly prohibited, being controlled by Transnistrian and Russian peacekeeping forces.

Russia testing NATO again.

Serving only white russians.

Perhaps her best "value" will lie in the fact that while she lives, she's another thorn in Putin's side, as if he didn't have enough with Navalny's ghost. now elevated to the rank of Martyr.
