Russia is the second biggest source of crude for China, China is the world's biggest producer of plastic. The redditarinos are and will continue to indirectly buy russian oil every time they buy a funkopop, iPhone or any of the other shit they like to consooom.
A part of the costs will be offset immediately due to rise in oil prices, others will take Russia finishing its Asian pivo that it's already been doing since 2014. It will hurt, but it won't be a dealbreaker.
 
Lavrov's visit to Geneva's UN demilitarization conference had to be cancelled because his diplomatic plane was banned from flying though EU air space.

Wow didn't realise the ban extended to diplomatic activities. The freedom of diplomats to pursue their work has been a key tenet of international relations since the fucking Pelopennesian war.
 
Another T90 destroyed. Looks like it was top attacked. Any military nerd wanna tell me if the little box eyeballs on the turret are designed to counter ATGMs?
Yeah they're supposed to blind targeting lasers, and might even have worked in the 1990s, but useless in the present day. Newer models replace them with more ERA plates.

The freedom of diplomats isn't very wholesome chungus. Are you a Putinbot?
INTERROGATIVE RESPONSE: NEGATIVE
 
That's exactly the problem - they should have went full frontal on the eve of day 2 or 3. None of this "limit civilian casualties" bullshit - just wipe them out as quickly as possible, level a city or two while you're at it.
That's what the Ukrainian government wanted though, they wanted piles of civilian bodies and burning rubble where cities used to be to bring in western military assistance through claims of genocide and such. That's the reason they openly and loudly announced arming civilians against Russia, make every one of them a prospective target but somehow the ones that do get killed will be the unarmed elderly women and kids.

Russia is denying them the optics they really want to put front and center by avoiding civilians, hell we have videos of tanks stopping because a civilian is blocking them rather than just going for it. They're even using their slower progress and lack of collateral as a propaganda piece including throwing some shade at America for Iraq/Afghanistan.

Not all Russian banks are kicked out of SWIFT.
How else will the EU countries pay their gas?
 
This is seriously the dumbest propaganda war ever. They sound like a bunch of kids fighting over the sandbox with the extra dramatic speeches and all the stupid ass attempts to gain asspats from the outside.

It feels fake, even. Like it's all just for show and the people behind this already know the plan so the rest is left to creating a show for world media and letting the civilians fuck each other over out of paranoia.
 
So what is the loss condition here? Losing the capital? Capturing the jewish funnyman? Occupying 80% of Ukrainean territory? Genuinely curious.
I'd imagine whenever they have physical control of the important people or the important people have left then they will claim victory and begin enforcing the new borders. At that point it's on 3rd parties to decide as Russia isn't going to care about guerilla warfare.
