One of the head of the units under Azovstal just surrendered. He was the same guy who was calling for Elon Mask to effect an evacuation days earlier.
Pretty sure China would go to war against Russia if it joined NATO. China cannot accept US/NATO troops along it's border, it would be more dangerous than Xiongnu/Mongol/Soviet periods to have NATO directly on China's northern border.The mistake of the United States is that many years ago it was necessary to accept Russia into NATO
Thing with xiongnu, mongol threat is, they raped and killed, but they are gone.Pretty sure China would go to war against Russia if it joined NATO.

NATO is a modern-day incarnation of 8-nation alliance, far bigger threat than 8-nation alliance ever presented.
When the first evacuation corridor was announced, I said there might be undertable deals. And I was wondering if putin would touch base with Xi on any of those deals. Hence unlimited my ars. If this speculation turns out to be true, putin cannot be trusted, period.If you consider "big fish" as someone with stars, then I think there are two possiblities:
1. Indeed there were fishes that big under Azovstal. If Russia got their hands on them they would want to keep quiet and use them as very useful cards for horse trading. Therefore we wouldn't know if big fishes are caught
or
2. There are no big fish, just little fishes or even just shrimped. So we won't see any.
In both cases outwardly to us onlookers we will see no big fish, so it's unverifiable and therefore pointless to talk about.

Kalibration of command and control building in Kharkiv.
Still better than nothing... They are using latest supply on the front quite fast, 777 have been rushed and Polish t-72 too. It look like they keep their nicest stuff in the west or they are already in dust...
I've been saying this for quite some time, the rate of the export of western equipment is not necessarily a sign of strength, but a sign of a high rate of losses.
