Dmitry, news reports here in the United States are very biased and not trustworthy. It's been this way for many y ;Dears now.I look to first-hand reports from you and others to gauge what is really happening in Russia and Ukraine.
You mean this thread, Kev?
Cor?! Kev, you are misleading I partly agree on thread title. In global context the title is right (also due to the economic component), but in local one it is false (indeed Russia invaded Ukraine).So it depends how you look at this war.You can change the title, don't you? I'm not sure.
It's not really a war Dmitry. Russia invaded Ukraine after saying they wouldn't. Ukraine is not attacking Russian cities; it is defending Ukraine.
Barry, I am already not a first-hand reporter
Russia indeed is slipping into the middle ages and it really scares me.
Agree with you 90%.During last several months Ukraine is attacking Russian cities with missiles and drones (which are not Ukrainian made). Of course, this is nothing compared to what Russia is doing in Ukraine. I'm afraid it will get worse, and it will be more casualties from both sides. Putin does not pity not only the civilian population of Ukraine, he does not pity the inhabitants of Russia either. So if it isn't war yet, it will be sooner or later.

Dmitry, you only recently left Russia but you still have family there and so I still count you as a source of first-hand information.
Ukraine will never bomb Moscow or St Petersburg, can you imagine Red square being bombed?
Dmitry, I have to second Barry on both these counts. I haven't trusted the U.S. news media for quite some time now. It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, if one isn't getting the real story.
Dmitry, please translate the Russian in my last post. I can understand the German.
Barry, I feel confused. I don't get you.
Dmitry, I was referring to this picture I posted...What does the sign say under the V in front of the ministry building and what does the caption say?I understand the German in the lower part of the picture.
