Right Kiks, the chronological order of their story just doesn't stack up.

Generally speaking, humanitarian help is delivered by Commercial cargo planes and people airlifted by passenger planes when there are no military issues. On the other hand, UAV’s would most likely delivered by giant military transport planes.

There are reports that the Ukrainian Military is causing quite some damage to the Russian column due to drone strikes.

I have learned long time ago not to pay too much attention to non independent news. To boost moral, governments make many claims which are at best exaggerated and worse, they are lies.

I just read a report that Ukraine were already using drones. The article I read was British. Not the BBC or DT.

I actually saw a picture of the drone itself. I doubt it was Turkish.

It was more of a Ukrainian mock up or consumer toy drone and was reconfigured to carry a high explosive bomb. It was quite small, and probably hard to shoot down as well before being able to release its payload.

It was not unfeasable in my view.

What theft in cyprus? The banks were under capitalized due to the npl exposure in the market that was due to amateur banking. The haircut was a simple waterfall where the equity and debt instruments couldn’t cover the capitalization and deposits where next. Tip for the future when you’re offered 6% interest on a euro account and Frankfurt has the rate set at 1% then you’re being paid for risk.

Exactly DT, exactly.

Apparently, Cyprus was laundering dirty Russian money and this was a reason given as an excuse for the haircut and the economic disaster.

They are accusing Cyprus of the same now, only 4 days ago, the Telepgraph published an article about why Cyprus is a Russian bank with dirty money posing as an EU state.

Can you explain this to me, why is Cyprus on the receiving end of western media propaganda?

To be fair, you have harboured thousands of these Russians and become reliant on them.

It's not even discreet anymore.

But to be fair again, Cyprus has declared sanctions on Russia and that's the right thing to do.

That was not my question but since you want to be fair,

about one in 7 euros deposited in a Cypriot bank belongs to a Russian.

How much of that is Russian oligarchy, criminal and terrorist financing money do you think?

None of it, because moneyval in their latest report says that Cyprus has no non-compliant issues with money deposited in their banks.

You have to be fair, you are linking all Russians and Russian money to the invasion of Ukraine.

I wouldn't know.

And the sanctions do not target every single euro belonging to Russians. Most of the Euros in Cyprus banks are probably not even from the Oligarchs.

Only the moneys owned by Oligarchs who are connected to Pootin are being targeted.

But Cyprus is a Russian laundromat, posing as an EU state according the the telegraph.

As if the UK wasn't a Russian laundromat posing as an EU state....

They didnt accept Russian oligarchy money and want to leave the EU did they?

No. And it's entire banking system wasn't reliant on it.

Probably because they have surveillance and regulations.

All I care is that they crack down on Russian Oligarchs.

Russia can easily get the West to fund the entire operation, even rebuild the Ukraine later… just double the price of gas and oil supplies.

Keep squeezing their balls until the testes fly out!

Nope. As with other aspects of this invasion (sorry "Special military operation") events aren't turning out quite as expected. Mr Putin has blundered, big time, and the eventual consequences for Russia will be very negative.

Which leads to the concern of how he'll deal with them. What's his mental state and what's it going to be? That's the trouble with dictators. Absolute power and all that.

Not a problem for you of course. As you've indicated on several occasions you're hopeful of, even gleefully looking forward to, the employment of nuclear weapons. That'll teach 'em!

Yes, apparently everyone in the West has become an expert on what Russia expected...

Pretty obvious things have not gone as expected or according to plan.
