They say a lot of things but today there were a lot of countries who "suddenly" changed their stance and said they won't give them...

This is probably the answer from the article

That 70 aircraft figure was already questionable given that it would amount to all of the operational MiG-29s and Su-25s across Poland, Slovakia, and Bulgaria. That's actually more than the total number of planes those countries have available

amount "basically taking Bulgaria's and Slovakia's entire air force." The Bulgarian and Slovak Air Forces have no other combat jets in their inventories. This would also reflect a not-insignificant amount of the Polish Air Force's current aerial combat capacity, with its nearly 30 MiG-29s still flying

To defend Ukraine. Bulgaria and Slovakia must give up their entire airforce and about 37% of Polish aircrafts according to that article.

Aftermath of an Ukrainian Partisan attack attempt. Warning, lots of Gore.

That was nasty. The aftermath of a bunch of Ukrainian partisans mowed down by heavy machinegun fire. There appears to be Molotov cocktails and an RPG 22 nearby, so they were clearly armed and dangerous. Some of the corpses were wearing blue & yellow armbands. Probably associated with Ukrainian Nazis.

If China is actually the one to broke a cease fire between Ukraine and Russia, it will be a massive blow to US-centric "diplomacy"

True, but only the Ukrainians are getting nuanced, relativized and minimized by the media covering the conflict.

Also only Ukraine and Baltics have public memorials for their SS's troops, Concentration Camps commandants and holocaust enabling partisans. This puts the problem in a whole different level, in my opinion.

Western mainstream media is unfortunately heavily politicised nowadays. Still less than state media in Russia (or China) but getting there. Free press huh

Nevertheless, Ukraine (and the Baltics) also has public memorials for holocaust victims etc. etc.
All countries are complex entities especially regarding their own history and culture.
Still not a justification for trying to eradicate them with war.
Using this as such is either propaganda, hypocrisy or delusion. Take your pick

Another one! Burn Baby Burn!

Looks like the aftermath of 30mm autocannon fire, maybe. Bumped into a BMP-2.

Its too early. I don't think that the Ukranian side has been that humbled by Russia. They need some more days of intense shelling by TOS and then they can come to the negotiating table with a sincere attitude

Just watch their "EU join" bs. They are not sincere yet. China can get involved only when Ukraine realises the true horror of war.
