International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[SandisLL]

ECB had told that they in no case under any circuimstances will not tolerate cleptocracy in ukr energy field.
They already had refused to use printer for ukr.
Unfortunately, cos it is 3 rd largest financial empire in this world.

They doesn't understand why zelensky administration can't implement wartime or emergency situation economy in ukraine and why they aren't capable at least to deal with fat Timur mortgage properties located in Ukraine ( 85 properties ).

 

[SandisLL]

EIB will issue Ukr loan 83 500 000 €.
Unfortunately it will be loan warranted by mortgage located in western ukraine.
However at least they will get this this month.

They told that they does have problems in energy sector.

 

[SandisLL]

EBRD had allowed ukraine not to pay schdeduled monthly payments for actual loans.
It is merciless satanic lender, considrably more merciless than mafia or idiotic IMF.
IMF are stupid becuase they doesn't have experience to lend money for countries in war condition. All their flowcharts are for peacetime etc....however mainly cos EU countries they continue to issue loans despite ukr does have war.
EBRD is absolutely merciless stuff...... like peace of ice and stone.

Carol was super brutal with zelensky.
Very sharp.
1. He confirmed that he doesn't have territorial claims vs Ukraine and will allow to continue to supply lethal aid if Polish Senate will decide to allow this.
Also he had told that if they will assing funding for Ukr he will sign such bill into law.

However Carol had confirmed that he does wants audits how humanitarian and technical and financial aid provided for Ukraine had been used and EC& EP for this should conduct multiple audits in depth.

Estonia for case of terrorism had detained former cyber criminal. Now he had placed explosives in supermarket area.....

the tik tok brigades have not exactly turned the tide of war or covered themselves in glory during this conflict..

 

[SandisLL]

Checnya will be nigthmare for Kremlin.
from on point they does have mafia clans ready to tell how beautiful is Putin and ask more money than Kadirov had demanded. Considerably more money....

Some % of Checen mafia does have businesses and % in businesses in Moscow and they aren't even close to street market thugs, not at all. Banks, Duma, trading companies etc....

Plus their modern mafia does have damn a lot in western countries. Really damn a lot of stuff.

So first question isn't who will rule Grozny but who will rule mafia in west and Moscow.
Kadirov doesn't have money if compare with real mafia. Almost 0 cent if compare with these clans.

This has been asked and answered ad-nauseum in this thread.

It has?
Well, let us discuss it some more.
Same for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hence this thread on Sherdog.
Oh! That is right. You are a democrat. Trump hater. Everything that is wrong in the world is Trump's fault.
...and Trump will go to Russia after his term.
Obama and Biden were the best president's this country had. Neither had anything to do with Russia's invasion of Crimea or the Donbas. How could they. They are democrats. ...and Ukraine will win this conflict and get all their land back. Trump = Bad. Biden = Good. Trump caused this invasion, and he is the incarnation of Hitler. You have a right to your opinion.

Key factors influencing the conflict's outcome in 2026 include:

. Russian Objectives and Expectations:
A December 2025 survey by the state-owned pollster VTsIOM found that 58% of Russians expect the "special military operation" to end in 2026, with many believing it will conclude with Russia achieving its national interests.

. Diplomatic Efforts:
Intensified peace negotiations are underway as 2026 begins. President Zelenskyy recently stated that a peace plan is 90% ready, following meetings with international leaders including U.S. President Trump. However, significant sticking points remain, such as the control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

. Military and Resource Sustainability:
Experts at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) have suggested that while Russia has the stores to maintain pressure through 2026, but it will likely struggle to replace some destroyed equipment. Similarly, Ukraine faces a potential $18 billion shortfall in defense funds if the war continues deep into 2026.

. Battlefield Status:
Russian forces continue to make slow, incremental advances in eastern Ukraine. As of late 2025, Russia occupied approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory. Some Ukrainian military officials describe their primary goal for 2026 as simply surviving the ongoing "meat assaults" and drone barrages.

Nah, mane... I'm good, but you do you.

 

[Strychnine]

Let's hope that Ukraine can keep things moving in a positive direction this year.

You sure?
A chance for you to bring out the TDS.
...blow out some steam.

What direction would that be? West?

 

[San Marino]

The Donbas region of Ukraine was already at war with Russia going back to 2014. Thoughts? Anyone want to expand on this particular point? The 2022 Russian invasion was a continuation of this conflict. That is roughly 8 years where Europe and the US sat idly by. Why would Europe and the US wait this long to provide Ukraine help?
