With the number of tanks and other weaponry that was abandoned by Russian soldiers, especially early in the war, Russia has been one of the largest arms suppliers to Ukraine.easyrider16 wrote: ↑Feb 22nd, '23, 15:33If true, that is absolutely wild. Half its tanks? I mean if this goes on much longer, the Ukraine war will basically destroy Russia's ability to make war. That's absurd.Russia lost some 50% of its tanks in the past year, US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said.

Re: Ukraine / Russia
ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes. While it may seem like largely a symbolic gesture, it's kind of a big deal. It means if he leaves Russia and enters a country that recognizes the ICC, he can potentially be arrested and detained lawfully. That's going to have implications for him in terms of where and how he travels, and who he can meet with on the international stage.

War crimes:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/23/europe/u ... index.htmlAs Xi flew back to Beijing, Russia’s military launched a barrage of strikes with Iran-made Shahed drones on Ukraine’s Kyiv region, killing at least nine people, according to Ukrainian authorities. Andrii Niebytov, the Kyiv region’s police chief, said seven others were injured when a drone struck a dormitory building in the town of Rzhyshchiv.
In the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, at least one person was killed and 34 injured – including two children – after Russian missiles hit apartment blocks, in what has been described as a “deliberate strike” to “kill civilians,” according to senior Ukrainian official and presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak.
Video of the attack shows an explosion blasting through the side of two nine-story residential buildings.
The Ukrainian prosecutor’s office said in a statement at least six missiles hit the city, causing extensive damage.
“One of the missiles hit between two high-rise buildings, partially destroying apartments and balconies, damaging roofs and breaking windows,” the statement said. “The blast wave and debris also damaged other nearby residential buildings, cars and other civilian infrastructure in the city.”

Re: Ukraine / Russia
Big surprise. Guess who may have died in a plane crash today in Russia?
