What does he even mean? Something doesn't add up to the balance? Russia has a huge advantage in military power. They have way more equipment, they have at least partly modern equipment which Ukraine didn't have and they have a more soldiers.

But aside of the fact that Russia vs. Ukraine would be pretty unfair in a video game, this isn't a damn video game which needs to be balanced. You should support someone who is the good one in a conflict regardless of how balanced it is lol

That I find interesting, if true. I keep following the live map on wikipedia that shows the zones of control and the current map does not show Ukraine to be that close to Kherson. Either they're being slow in updating it or its part of the information war.

Russian cosmonauts on the ISS showing flags of occupied Donbas regions and congratulating the occupiers. What an ugly move that they take politics into space like that and how they even planned that already before they flew to space months ago considering that that they took the flags with them. Just imagine you are with them there in space, welcome them open-hearted and then that...

Aren’t you British yourself? I mean, I get the point you’re making in reference to Ukraine, just thought it was an odd reference to Britain.

The Australian Prime Minister went over to Ukraine... Pledged another 100 million worth of support, which brings our total contribution to $388 million now.
That would include 4 armoured personnel carriers, 20 Bushmaster armoured vehicles and a number of drones.

That makes us the largest non-NATO contributor to Ukraine.

Further to that... We increased our Russian sanctions. (As we often do things without the US.)

Honestly, I wish we could just send troops at this point. (And USAR techs like me of course.)

This looks nice on paper, but the problem is more straightforward. It's not the firing of rockets, it's the problem of not getting caught in the act. Many of the Ukranian troops/vehicles get killed/destroyed due to "being seen". "Being seen" means using cell phones to coordinate movements of troops/tanks/rocket launchers, and being uncovered by simple triangulation of the signals.

Russia just announced to have destroyed two of the four HIMARs within days. How much of that is true is anyone's guess. They also pretend to have destroyed 232 Ukranian warplanes and 137 choppers (Ukrania had about 100 warplanes and 90 choppers before the war started).

So has the Second Battle of Kherson begun then?

Well, here in Brazil, our president choose to not manifest himself about the war. According to him and his supporters, Brazil needs Russia, so if he sides with Ukraine, we may have trouble.

On the flip side, Sri Lanka are asking Putin for help supplying them with fuel. With the country suffering sever shortages, I can kind of understand their need to do it even if I don't like them asking Putin.
