[Their capture was announced by
UK non-profit organisation Presidium Network
It said they were seized at a checkpoint
south of the city of Zaporizhzhia
They were later identified as
Paul Urey and Dylan Healy,
operating on their own
Zaporizhzhia is a crucial way station
for thousands of Ukrainians fleeing
Mariupol - the southern
port city that has been largely captured
by Russia
It comes after Scott Sibley, a British veteran,
was killed fighting in Ukraine
The whereabouts of another Brit fighting
in Ukraine remained unknown]

Russia's assault on Donbas has "sort of fizzled" and the battle for the region will be over in two to four weeks, says military expert Dr Mike Martin.

The war studies visiting fellow at King's College London says: "Basically the Russians are gonna run out of troops, and the Ukrainians are going to counterattack."

The Russians have squandered their one chance to take the region, he believes.

"They pulled all of these mauled units out of Kyiv, and then tried to reconstitute them for combat in the east," he explains.

But they were "bruised and damaged" by the battle for the Ukrainian capital and Russia failed to build them up and "do some bold manoeuvre".

And Martin says there has been a "major strategic shift" in the war, with the UK declaring its aim is to clear Russian forces from Ukraine, including Crimea.

He adds that UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is "wrong", however, to say this would take 10 years, insisting: "Russian forces will collapse before that, and we’ll see a coup."

And with the US announcing US$33bn (Ł26bn) of funding for Ukraine, "that is an extremely clear signal of intent", says Martin.

It also means Nato and the US have decided Vladimir Putin is bluffing about using nuclear weapons if Nato up the ante, he adds.

Either the talk of going nuclear is cold war style saber rattling, or we're ****ed. It sort of is that black and white.
Just to add some sort of backing to this, from the bottom of what arista posted above;

Quote:
A number of countries maintain anti-missile systems which aim to shoot down or destroy missiles before the are able to reach their intended targets.

But these systems are typically only effective against small numbers of missiles, travelling well below hypersonic speeds.

The advent of hypersonic missile technology and long-range ICBMs, such as Russia's latest Sarmat missile, have made anti-missile systems largely redundant.

The U.S.' Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation said that 'despite decades of research, development, and testing, there remains no reliably effective anti-missile system to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)'.

Existing missile defence systems, such as the U.S. Patriot system, can target incoming short-, medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles whose threat is localised to one region, but cannot effectively protect against nuclear-capable ICBMs such as the Sarmat that can deploy warheads across vast areas.

According to former Assistant Secretary of Defense and U.S. chief weapons evaluator Philip Coyle: 'All missile defense systems can be overwhelmed... It is only if the attack is limited that the defense can have a hope of not being overwhelmed.'

And if the Ukrainian President had taken the US offer to evacuate him to the US and the Russians rolled into Kyv with no resistance...

Since others are postulating about a nuclear attack on Europe, I am merely postulating on an alternative history.

This president has gone for violent resistance, and many are dead.

Ghandi went up against the British in India with non violent resistance and won independence for India.

As he once said "An eye for an eye only make everyone blind"
