Bulgaria will not supply Ukraine with heavy weapons, despite the request of Kyiv.

This was announced by the Minister of Defense of the technical government of the country Dimitar Stoyanov on the air of the Bulgarian National Television.

“The Ambassador of Ukraine asked us for heavy weapons. My answer was clear: there is a decision of the parliament on the provision of military-technical assistance, but not on the provision of weapons. As long as I am a minister, weapons will not be provided to Ukraine,” Stoyanov said.

They were supported to be independent countries but their enemies have not relented. The only way to assure full protection is to make them full Russian territories. After all they were Russian before the Bolshevik revolution. Even Turkey occupied part of Cyprus and the world did not end because they are a strong NATO member.

You missed the point. The regions in Ukraine are being annexed to be a part of Russia and not standing as an independent country like Kosovo. That's where the comparing Apples and Oranges quote came from.

I am beginning to think Putin's restraints in the Ukrainian war is a trap to expose American agenda against Europe. Very soon the alliance will break and the Europeans will rebel against their stupid American crony leaders. It's beginning in Germany.
Even if any agenda was exposed at all.. Western Europe and it's allies would often fall back to the principles of the Magna Carta.

The culprit was never far off.

They had been planning this for a while. There were reports even as far back as June. Russia likes to attack infrastructures, especially now that it will favour them to wriggle out of violated terms of contracts.

What are you even saying.

Pipeline exploded, it's normal for them to go to the location to inspect and assess the situation.

Are you saying they should leave it unattended to.

facts about why the Russian Federation will not be able to SUPRISE Ukraine with a nuclear strike.

1. Satellites will record the preparation even at the stage of transportation, the criteria for storing nuclear warheads are very strict.

2. The NATO states put the Russian Federation before the fact that the alliance could destroy the convoy with nuclear weapons even on the way to the starting position.

Sadly, your take on it changed nothing. Everyone knew from the inception that this was going to be the end result of the brouhaha.

If it was good for NATO-Kosovo, it should be good for Dombass-Russia.

Are you minding that guy.

Russia is literarily copying NATO's style of Annexation in Yugoslavia (Now Serbia) for the creation of Kosovo.

What people don't know is that Russia copied NATO style word for word. grin

Let me list the similarities between NATO's Yugoslavia campaign and Russia's Ukraine Campaign

Firstly, NATO accused Yugoslavia of ethnic cleansing and crimes against some ethinc minorites in part of Yugoslavia, the part that now became Kosovo.
Russia use the same template in Ukraine by accusing Ukraine of ethnic cleansing and Shelling of ethinc Russian minorities in Eastern Ukraine (Donbass)


Secondly, NATO sent in troops for Military operation, just like Russia did in Ukraine, and both did not technically declare war on both countries.
NATO was just bombing military assets in Yugoslavia indiscriminately, destroying see Civilian assets and innocent civilians along the way, Belgrade was bombed indiscriminately, even Chinese embassy in Belgrade got bombed accidentally then, that caused serious diplomatic issues with China.
Russia did the same in the first month of the war in Ukraine, bombing Kiev and everywhere allover the country, claiming they were targeting Military assets and installation.

After the whole Iraqi style shock and awe bombing, they then sent in troops to secure the part under dispute and eventually the war shifted to the are, which is now called Kosovo, after they've bombed Yugoslavia and weakend their military to at least reduce resistance a little bit.
Russia did the same and sent in some troops, although they first tried their luck by starting with Kiev, because they thought the Ukrainian govt will flee the country, leaving a vacuum, just like what US did to Iraq where it govt collapsed immediately after they sent in troops but eventually pulled back to Donbass after a month, when that didn't happen

Lastly, after some time of fighting, NATO conducted referendum in Kosovo, with Kosovo later declaring independence. Russia has now done the same with the Donbass.

In conclusion, you can now see the similarities between the two military campaign.

NATO set that shit precedent with Yugoslavia but it won't make the news because they have the western media under their thumb.

lol,who the hell cares about international recognition?. Certainly not putin and russia. Nato did the same thing to serbia (kosovo). As for zelensky,if he wants to price his casket let him attack these regions after the annexation.

Exactly, the last time I checked , Kosovo is not recognized as a sovereign country by every country yet. Only US and EU(not even all of the sef, because some opposed the war then) recognize Kosovo

The Same will happen with Donbass, but Russia won't care

Good. So Kosovo which has not been recognized by the UN can still be returned to Serbia.

It's a trap bro. The Day US convince UN to recognize Kosovo is the day Ukraine loose Donbass and Crimea for life.

But for now, it's still a stalemate. Both Kosovo and Donbass will always remain a fake country grin

Poland has refused entry to dozens of Russians trying to cross its land borders, saying they “may be dangerous to our country”. A particularly large number sought to enter on Wednesday, after Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilisation and many Russians consequently sought to flee the country.

On Monday, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia introduced new restrictions preventing the entry of most Russians. Previously, those four countries – all of which share land borders with Russia – had been the entry point for around two thirds of the million Russians who have entered the EU by land since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Those countries don't like Russians at all. Before one despot use them to forment trouble like the minority Russians in Donetsk and Lugansk
