That road looks really narrow. Why can't they crater the width of this narrow road for say 50 yards?

On one news broadcast this morning(CFRB I think) they mentioned these convoys are heavily protected by Russian air power. Any attempt by the Ukrainians to hit them will be counteracted by the Russians, and apparently the Ukrainians are aware of this.

A conventional artillery or ground-based missile strike would have totally shit-wrecked that convoy. Air defence or air power would have been unable to intervene in time.

My guess is that Zelensky doesn't want to give the Russians the excuse to escalate the scale of violence.

Why do I think that convoy is a sitting duck? All bunched together like that.

The Ukes should have cratered that road a couple of weeks ago. Now is kind of late.

Hopefully there are more like this one.

A Russian businessman has put a $1 million bounty on Vladimir Putin's head, calling for military officers to arrest him as a war criminal

Russian crypto investor Alex Konanykhin, who is based in California, told Insider the million-dollar bounty would come from his personal funds.

Ouch!

After the UK, Italy is the country that has benefited most from oligarch largesse. Not wanting to destroy London's economy, Boris Johnson has been far more lenient on Russian oligarchs than Mario Draghi has.

Putin needs to declare war on the Mediterranean, this is getting ridiculous! More Superyachts seized, this time in Barcelona and Izmir Turkey. What are poor sweet oligarchs to do?

In the 90's Roman Abramovich recommended Putin to Yeltsin as a possible successor. With the crash of the Ruble in 98, Yeltsin made it official.

Their father had been sanctioned a week earlier. Peskova told Insider that she supports “peace,” but would not comment on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
