Reports that turkey are rescuing the russian sailors, not Russia? Reported in Russian but can post if needed?

To paraphrase Monty Python ..... the Kremlin line is: "It hasn't sunk, it's resting."

Some reports are suggesting that very few were rescued too.

Yeah, which seems odd as it sank slowly? Since been shown similar reports of another ship 4 years ago and wondering about crossed wires.

Who knows (doubt the Russians will ever admit what state it was in etc). The ammunition/missile(s) explosion(s) etc could have killed a lot of them.

Russia:
It definitely didn't get blown up, it just caught fire and exploded all on its own.

Also Russia:
We're shelling civilians everywhere we can in retaliation

 

[tek-monkey]

So now 'Russia' is executing PoWs.
So now Ukranians fight harder, knowing they'll get killed if they surrender.
It also means they may not bother capturing PoWs themselves, just kill them?
Which means the Russians will be scared to surrender.
Which means the Russians fight harder?

Rumblings now about Poland and Lithuania being the aggressors against Belarus, suspected from the start that getting Minsk a route to the Baltic was the carrot to ensure they aided in the Ukraine invasion. Odesa to Kaliningrad is also a lot shorter transport route than they currently have between the black sea and the baltic. That means a NATO fight though, which is why nukes are being pushed into Belarus (although there are loads in Kaliningrad already).

 

[tek-monkey]

This is also my route home should a flight be an issue, or we had to leave in a hurry. It's about 40 miles between Belarus and Kaliningrad, very easy to take and cuts off Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia completely, but as said above that turns things into a full scale war.

This appears to be real - 'real', in the sense that it has actually been issued by Uri Geller, that is.
