I dont
and in another thread on here I specifically compared what Israel are doing to,Gaza is exactly the same as Russia did to Mariupol
You still haven’t said why you are so supportive of Russia
I presume it’s because you are so ideologically opposed to EU, so by default you take the other side.
The roots of your tribalism stem from your Irish roots.
Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria have signed an agreement to clear mines drifting in the Black Sea that have posed a threat to shipping since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Three minehunting ships from each country and one command-control ship will be assigned to the initiative, a Turkish Ministry of National Defence official said. The initiative is open to only the three countries, whose naval commanders will form a committee to run the operation, Guler said, adding that it might include other Black Sea states after the war ends.
Last week, Turkey said it would not allow two minehunter vessels donated to Ukraine by Britain to transit its waters en route to the Black Sea because it would violate the 1936 Montreux Convention, an international pact concerning wartime passage of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles strait. At the start of the Ukraine war, Turkey enacted the convention to block the passage of Russian or Ukrainian ships through the two straits and also told non-Black Sea states not to send warships.

Ukraine seem to be having a good run taking out Russian aircraft
3 planes before Christmas
apparently 26 helicopters recently
and in the last day or so a very expensive Russian radar detection aircraft
a video from Artur Rehi about it

A Russian T90 got pounded by one or two Bradley IFVs until it had to retreat. It didn't make it far before it was hunted down and destroyed by FPV drones.
Tanks can take an epic amount of fire, BMPs I'm the same situation die rapidly, but NATO IFVs can in the right circumstances bring them down.
They might not take out the tank at first strike, but it must do some major damage to its optics/fire control equipt fitted on its hull, to make the tank ineffective.
Absolutely, and the effect on the crew is going to be notable. No matter how well trained you are having 25mm explosive rounds exploding all around you is going to take a toll.
"Operations have been suspended at a major gas terminal outside St Petersburg after a large fire broke out, which the Russian operator said had been caused by “external action”.
Novatek, Russia’s second-largest natural gas producer, said it had halted operations at the Ust-Luga terminal on the Baltic Sea following the incident, with local officials reporting “explosions” at the plant."

Resistance to further aid for Kyiv is growing ahead of meeting that comes [705 days] into Russia’s war in Ukraine.
European Union leaders are preparing for a crucial meeting that will be dominated by a second attempt at passing a 50-billion-euro ($54bn) amendment to the EU budget that will help finance Ukraine over the next four years. That amendment was vetoed by Hungary at December’s regular summit along with 20 billion euros ($21.7bn) in military aid to Ukraine for 2024.
Serbia is discussing plans to make military service mandatory and the prospect of another four years of Trump in the Oval Office makes this the critical year for Ukraine's fight for independence from Moscow. Republicans are still blocking a $61billion dollar aid package til tougher immigration policies are included in the deal.

So what does all that mean when countries USA "sending" billions to Ukraine. They don't actually send money there do they, how does it work - the UK gov spends money printed out of thin air on UK weapons that are manufactured here and then sent there, so the gov increases the arms manufactures profits and in turn they pay more back in tax so the GOV prints non real money to pay for goods and then receive back actual real money sounds like laundering to me. Or have I got it wrong. I do not believe everything we are told - its a war - there's propaganda.
