When you spell TARGET as PRESS.and Russia being Russia
The anticipation is killing me!
Imagine if they can break the siege of Kharkiv, turn around, and retake Kherson? Restore the Dniepr line, that'd be amazing.
Similarly, if Europeans aren't willing to risk their economic growth to defund Russia's O&G-financed war chest, they can enjoy living next to the new Soviet Union.

It's the 21st century, war can be pretty fast...Man, it's only Day 9. Have another cup of tea.![]()
Lots of people are needed in support roles, I'm sure. Plus, there are untrained civilians picking up rifles. So it's more like joining a resistance force than a professional army, I suspect.I'm looking for where it says that people need training or they are liabilities.

Russia warns pro-Ukraine foreign fighters won't get POW status, will be criminals
Konashenkov warns that pro-Ukrainian fighters won't be considered combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or become prisoners of war.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov warned that foreign fighters in Ukraine will not be afforded the rights given to lawful combatants according to international humanitarian law (IHL) as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed what he claimed amounted to 16,000 foreign volunteers to the International Legion of Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine on Thursday.
"I wish to make an official statement that none of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime in Kyiv can be considered as combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or enjoy the status of prisoners of war," Konashenkov said on Thursday, according to Russian state media outlet TASS. "At best, they can expect to be prosecuted as criminals. We are urging all foreign citizens who may have plans to go and fight for Kyiv’s nationalist regime to think a dozen times before getting on the way."

Yeah, mercenary life ain't nice, that's for sure. Same shit for anyone fighting against ISIS, or even for Russians (Wagner getting obliterated by American air support)“Beware the Jabberwock, my son
