Anyone starting to feel that massive column outside Kiev is partly a distraction. Might be, but it feels like an awful lot of men and vehicles to leave standing around for 'a distraction'. Military experts seem to think it's a mix of things. Ukraine is holding around Hostomel and Irpin, meaning that the front is not moving. There's also massive traffic problems and Russia doesn't have enough supply trucks (they're very railway dependent). Thirdly they're moving so slowly to try to not get jumped like on the first day. Odessa has a much closer distance to NATO and friendly territories, it won't be easy. Russia is also far away from Odessa, and with limited ability to reinforce the fleet from Russia due to Turkey shutting the strait it'll be an uphill battle against such a large city. Even Russia can't be everywhere. Estimates puts around 50.000 personnel in the convoy, which severely limits Russias manpower elsewhere.

Today the UK Government have said that no Russian Space or Aerospace company can access UK Insurance and Reinsurance companies, which would include Lloyd's of London. Aviation companies have to carry massive limits of indemnity and that's only possible with involvement of Reinsurance and almost certainly Lloyd's of London. The other big players are American companies, at least fronting it, probably reinsured somewhere in the UK, but you would think America would follow suit anyway. So even if they overcome the above issues, they'll probably be grounded anyway for insurance reasons. Edited March 3, 2022 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Poland has stated that 80.000 combat aged Ukranian men have returned to Ukraine through their border crossings. They're really going to fight Putin to the death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate if I could call down lightening and kill all 50,000 Russians in that convoy I’d do it. Anyone who doesn’t get affected by a country being murdered has emotional constipation. Better out than in, as they say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching a zombie film I’ve found myself checking out the house to see how defendable it is. That’s on a completely shallow level. Real lives for these people now, many will have left it ‘too late’ to leave and will be on a rapid learning curve of making sure they have water, somewhere for a toilet, somewhere safe. Just imagine the stress of venturing out, to look for food. to look for food, where? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was an official military raid. There are reports that anywhere the Russian troops go there is severe looting problems.

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Small bit of good news. Their currency is almost dead. From 73 to 117 for 1 dollar in a week or so. Still no Russian stock market. That might be broken, if they open it it will get trashed financially, keep it closed, what's the point of it and the shares it holds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
