Allegedly, Russian POWs about to be executed by Ukrainian forces

And yes, all of this also lies on NATO's hands and west's. They have enabling them since 2014.

It is nothing new. They were executing POWs since day 1 of the war(and exact same torture and execution of POWs from Donbass). Just this time, they had openly posted videos of what they do.

And it would change nothing. Western media would whitewash all crimes of Ukraine like it had done before. It is the exact same nazis that were executing Russian POWs in WW2. Exact;y same peoples, exactly same governments, nothing had changed. Europe had not changed in 70 years.

IMHO Russia just need to leave Geneva convention. No one follow it for Russian POWs either way.

Still loads of people here talking about Russia wanting to buy Chinese weapons.
Has there to date been a single non western source stating this as fact?

What would the Russians actually want? They have after- all, the worlds second largest weapons manufacturing industry after the US.
Its a bit like the stories about them not having enough fuel, when they are one of the worlds greatest oil and gas producers !!??
If it is all about the logistics then this is another story, this is then about trucks (and probably field engineers). Trucks are duel use items and so selling those to Russia should not be pose any significant problems.

I was thinking drones, PGM's, targeting pods, etc., besides trucks.
But I guess even though drones might be relevant, PGMs & targeting pod might not be cost effective from the system integration point of view.
If the Russians had all its Su30 and Su34 integrated with targeting pod and 250kg class PGMs (laser or Glonass/INS) with gliders (extended range) or not. They would have been able to save A LOT of their much more expensive cruise missile and tactical ballistic missiles.

It's pretty pathetic to blame NATO for Ukrainian war crimes. Almost as retarded as Americans saying Chinese enabled Russian invasion of Ukraine via passive trade and sanctioning avoidance.

More fuel depots hit over night.

Question would be when would this focus on destroying fuel depots have an effect on the battlefield. I heard one analysis that says the concentration of troops in Donbass have stockpiled 3 month worth of food, ammo and fuel in their positions prior to the war, so it may not have any immediate effect on them. But on the other hard there's also someone who says Ukraine is down to 5-10 days of fuel left nation wide. So who knows.

It reminds me of the time when German Jewish refugees were locked up because the UK security services suspected that they could
likely be pro-Nazi agents or sympathizers. The Nazis had persecuted them for being Jewish; the UK punished them for being German.

In WW2 Canada put jew refugees with German pow in labor camp in the North... It's just that the victor write the history books. In any war, bad stuff is happening both sides.

With regards to fuel and other supply stockpiles in Donbass, they still got to be stored somewhere. If the Russians can locate them it will be a crippling blow. As for the rest of the country, maybe the Russians can be more forceful with advances if the Ukrainians don't have enough in those areas.

How are the chances to see a T-14 Armata in combat in Ukraine?

No idea. There aren't very few Armatas right? Although I do remember it's cousin the BMP-T making an appearance in the pre-war buildup. Don't think they actually used it.
