Low I read that Serbia were also going to donate a couple of aircraft too, but they all hadn’t been confirmed yet.

Solovyov is pissed off with Russian bloggers spreading disinformation about the Russian convoy destruction and is calling for harsh sentences for those posting disinformation… like 2 years in prison.. how can you ever call a film of a Russian convoy getting destroyed disinformation Is beyond me, it shows how controlling their media is trying to hide the truth and reality from the Russian people. Heck even the dumbest Russian must realise everything Is not going well with explosions and fires left right and centre.

Czechs want EU to shop abroad for Ukraine shells
BRUSSELS — Europe is falling way short on its pledge to send 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine by March, and the Czechs say it’s high time to look beyond the borders of the EU for supplies.
Ukrainian forces on the front lines are warning they are running perilously low on ammunition to take on the Russian invaders in a war dominated by artillery bombardments.
The EU had originally pledged to supply 1 million shells by March, and France led calls for Europe to build up its homegrown industrial prowess to deliver munitions to Kyiv. However, the EU now says 524,000 shells will reach Ukraine by the March deadline, with 1.1 million only promised by the end of the year.
Frustrated by this shortfall, Prague is pushing EU countries to finance the purchase of what it estimates are 450,000 rounds of artillery available outside the bloc, four diplomats and a person familiar with the talks told POLITICO…..

Solovyov has some reality coming his way in the foreseeable future. As some point the families of the #200's will start hunting for retribution, and at that point, Mr S and Mrs S from RT will be needing a safe haven that has a rule of law and that ain't Russia. There are approaching 400,000 ex Russians & their mates (Donbassian and Lunskii's are not counted by Russia, the people that came to liberate them and then killed them on the whim of Putin, as per the wagnerites, they seem to not count for anything in Russia). Each one of those affects multiple other family members, brothers, sisters, fathers, sons, etc, and that is a lot of people to worry about the one only that is needed to spit their dummy at the lies from their propogandists. At that point, when the penny drops, I should hope that the EU and other western govts don't offer asylum for the lunatics.
Not sure asylum is within the EU's gift, That is down to each nation state.

When Yoon Suk-Yeol talked up the need for South Korea and NATO to protect “universal values” at the alliance’s meeting in June 2022, he might not have imagined how soon his words would come back to bite him. But so they have. On a visit to Seoul on January 30th Jens Stoltenberg pushed South Korea’s president to help meet Ukraine’s urgent need for ammunition. It was time, according to NATO’s secretary general, for Mr Yoon to “step up”.
Since the invasion of Ukraine last February, South Korea has supplied it with non-lethal aid including gas masks and medical supplies. And under Mr Yoon, who took office last May, it has robustly condemned Russia’s aggression. In a recent interview Mr Yoon called it “unlawful and illegitimate”. He also suggested allowing the war to grind on might embolden his country’s vicious neighbour, North Korea, into thinking “the international community would fail to respond to an act of invasion with the appropriate sanctions”. Such statements are consistent with Mr Yoon’s stated ambition, as Mr Stoltenberg might have reminded him, to make his country a more assertive global leader and defender of the rules-based order. Yet, despite having one of the world’s biggest and fastest-growing defence industries, South Korea still refuses to send Ukraine arms.

This has got to be worrying Russian pilots flying the TU-95 and launching against Ukraine, I wonder who shot him, Ukrainian agents?

He is the enemy but isn't there a code of conduct in war we should respect else slip down a slope of barbaric behaviour?
Randomly assassinating people just doesn't seem right to me.
They are using both types of Mil helicopters they have and with Kosovo situation, I don't think they are giving those away. Not a single tone of replacing them with Western tech, so......
I'm not a Russian sympathiser and want to see Ukraine win but feel a little uneasy about this. Is he a Bomber Pilot who was ordered to bomb a target. Are we to just kill pilots now regardless?

The thing is DogTailRed2, a great deal of the Russian military have already slipped down the slope of barbaric behaviour, and to quite a depth. You reap what you sow and all that.

Still searching for basis of sympathy, not findng a reason.
Russia can stop wasting their citizens lives from the apathy that gives Putin his power, Ukraine has no such option.

The target at Belbek airfield appears to have been the radar control centre.

Any captain commander or crew of any russian tank, launcher, vessel or aircraft that has launched or fired weapons upon Ukainian civilian population centres is a war criminal and terrorist. I dug civilians out of destroyed buildings and stood with civilians including helpless children and elderly in the destroyed centres of Bahkmut, Soledar and Siversk last year as they did it.
I saw them target hospitals.
I hope it hurt while his life ebbed away.
I dont ever want these people experiencing freedom outside their glorious russia.
