Russians firing on nuclear research facility in Kharkiv' - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports 8.25pm post the following, " Russian forces 'firing at nuclear research facility in Kharkiv'...."It is currently impossible to estimate the extent of damage due to hostilities that do not stop in the area of the nuclear installation," a tweet from the Ukrainian parliament said.  "

Lets Get Real:

Are the Russians trying to let lose massive radiation on the whole of the Ukraine, they keep shooting at nuclear installations, one of these days they will get unlucky and release mass radiation across Ukraine and the whole of Western Europe, radiation can also reach the Russian Federation, is Putin really in control of his forces or are his forces doing his bidding, with no idea on the damage they can cause to Ukraine and the World, one has to ask are they trying for another Chernobyl ( 1986 ), that helped bring down the USSR.  The Biden Oval has to warn Russia, that when it comes to nuclear issues and breaches of rules that could lead to another meltdown the US will take action, and it does not matter if the Kremlin likes or not.  The Ukraine is under threat from chemical attack and the Russians causing a nuclear breach by their shooting and missile launches, and this is happening in the 21st Century.

"For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power." - Biden on Putin - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.48pm post the following, " ( President Biden on Putin of Russia, ) " He closes his speech with a reference to Vladimir Putin - "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power."  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS went off the official speech with the above, the White House stated that the President was not calling for regime change in Russia, in other words a Biden gaffe, but it was the RIGHT THING to say in Poland, this will be heard around the WORLD even in RUSSIA.  One hopes that the people of Russia get out on the streets to demonstrate against the WAR CRIMINAL President.  The President stated that the Ukraine War will be long term, the West might have to carry the Ukraine for months when it comes to supplies of weapons and other military kit.  Also the West will have to help with the food supply, the Ukraine economy has stopped, the only other worse economy is Russia.   The West should use the Russian reserves held in the West to support the UKRAINE at this time and also fund its refugee crisis, Western Europe, in this case Poland has taken in million of refugees, they will need support and also more military protection should the Russian gaze go to Poland.  The above call was a good call by POTUS, the White House should not have attempted to clear it up.  It makes it look like Biden cannot be trusted with a speech. 

What is the truth about the number of Russian Soldiers killed in the Ukraine ? - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Daily Mail: Reports " Russia now claims 1,300 troops have been killed and 3,800 wounded in Ukraine - treble its previous toll but a fraction of the 16,000 Kyiv says it has killed "

Lets Get Real:

One assumes the Russians are not telling the truth about how many of their soldiers they have lost in the Ukraine, this is political and PR mistake, the true number will get out, the body bags being sent home will do that, what ever restrictions Putin puts on people talking, the worst Russian invasion since Afghanistan in 1979 will have people talking, in whispers but it will get out.  The Kremlin on the political front is also doing a MISTAKE, if it was smarter it would tell the Russian people about their loses, the Kremlin could argue that the evil West is supporting the KYIV Government and thus it is important to stand up to the Ukraine and the West, but of course that would take a brain open to the TRUTH, so far Putin has a horrible historian and a bad Hollywood movie critic, if today's rantings are anything to go by.  Putin stated that the Hollywood over looked the role of the red army in World War 2 or the Great Patriotic War it is called in Russia. This is simply not true, Hollywood did many pro Stalin and USSR talkies during the WAR, that is why the Congress went after them in the late 1940s and 50s.  Of course it should be noted that Russia took its time to join the Allies, it took the German invasion of Russia in 1941, and even then Stalin hid under his desk for the week.  Russian intelligence has informed Stalin about the threat of invasion but he did not believe them, he had signed a Nazi - Soviet Non Aggression Pact with Nazi Germany in August 1939. If you sub with the Devil, better have a long spoon, and do not expect sympathy from the West, you are not going to get it from this blogger.   The Russians have a trend of not being a create partner, Lenin signed a peace deal with Germany in 1918 and removed Russia from World War 1.  Thus as stated above the Kremlin needs to tell the truth about the number of deaths in the Ukraine, it will come out anyway and Putin ravings require a mental care, the Russian people need to overthrow the EVIL REGIME of the former EVIL EMPIRE. 

Is Russia creating good PR for cutting and running out of the Ukraine - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.57pm post the following, " Moscow could be preparing a climbdown on Ukraine with 'face-saving' statements, source says....the potentially hugely significant statements out of Moscow earlier, in which an official said Russia would now focus on its "main goal" of liberating Donbass now that the first phase of its military operation was "mostly complete".  "

Lets Get Real:

The War in the North has not gone well for the Russians, the Army of the Ukraine has those that have joined the forces have kept Russia from getting to KYIV and surrounding it, and from reports it seems that the Ukrainian Army is taking the fight to the Russians.  Thus the Kremlin might move its forces to the East, as shown by the bombing and destruction of Mariupol the Russians have no limits in the number innocent people they kill for Putin.  It was reported today that about three hundred people were killed in the theatre bombing, that is a estimate as Mariupol is still in combat mode, also in the view of the UN the RUSSIANS have created WAR CRIMES by kidnapping people from the City.   On the whole a East move would work for the PR of the Kremlin, they can argue that the have a land corridor from East Ukraine to the Crimea.  The problem is will the KYIV Government give those sectors as concessions to the Russians and will the people of the Ukraine approve such a measure in a Country wide referendum.  This WAR has some time to go, before peace.

Russian - Ukraine Peace Talks Latest - Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.54pm post the following, " Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are continuing - but there has been little progress on the main political issues, according to a member of the Russian negotiating team.....However, he said they were coming closer to an understanding on secondary issues.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians thought they would have a quick victory over the KYIV Government, that has not happened, in fact Russian Forces gains are being reversed by the Army of the Ukraine.  The Northern part of the invasion has not gone to plan, the Russians are having problems taking small cities, it has destroyed Mariupol in the South, and are have abducted the citizens according to the UN.   The Russians have prevented food getting to Mariupol from the KYIV Government but are sending food and water supplies for the people, thus seeking base good PR.  The KYIV Government should limits its concessions to the Russians, what they might demand and get are two different things.  The Ukraine Army has the wind to its back, while the Russians are losing Generals all over the place.  The War will be one of attrition, who ever stands at the end is the winner. 

NATO to supply Ukraine with defensive equipment against WMD - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " Ukraine war: NATO to boost Kyiv's chemical and nuclear defences amid risk a Russian attack could drag alliance into the conflict....The 30-nation military alliance agrees to equip Ukrainians with the means to defend themselves against potential Russian cyber, biological, chemical and nuclear warfare, with the NATO chief saying there's a risk such an attack "will have a direct effect on people living in NATO countries". "

Lets Get Real:

If the Russians use WMD against Ukraine that should be a very RED LINE, Biden must inform the Kremlin in public or private that such a use would bring in the US and NATO.  The use of chemical weapons in Europe would be a disaster for the Ukraine and the West, as Putin is on the back foot he might think he has nothing to lose, let's recall that in 1905 the Russian Fleet was taken down by Imperial Japan, this lead to the 1905 Revolution that lead to the formation of the Imperial Duma in Russia, Nicholas 11 was forced to give on this issue due to the failure of the Imperial Fleet.   Thus a massive failure of the Ukraine WAR could get the people back on the streets, of course that is if they get to know about it, as Putin has blocked free and western MEDIA in Russia.  Putin has a LOST to LOSE, his alleged Yacht being the first target.  After that how much of the outside forces can Putin control, shops closed, places with no sugar, the Russian economy in the toilet, could this be Putin's 1905 OR 1917 MOMENT. 

Ukraine destroys Russian Landing Craft - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports " A Russian landing ship has been destroyed and two other vessels have been damaged in the occupied Ukrainian port city of Berdyansk, say Ukrainian officials.  "

Lets Get Real:

This will be a great to boost to the Ukraine forces in the field fighting the Russians, of course the Russian people will NEVER HEAR about it, as Putin controls the news media in Russia and has blocked Facebook and Twitter.  The level of deaths of Russian soldiers of between seven to fifteen thousand must be getting through the Putin Iron Wall on the media, the younger generation must know how to get around such walls, thus they will get information, the people of Russian need to get on the street to demonstrate against the WAR, its illegal and against a fellow Slav people, they share the same culture and history, the WAR is about Putin's wrong reading of history and his aim to be the modern TSAR, the  sole autocrat of Russia.  Let's recall Nicholas 11 went to WAR in World War 1 over Serbia, while Putin is attacking a fellow Slav. The ironies  of history.
