What we know about the 'missile strike' in Poland

That stray Russian missiles hit a farm in a Polish village, killing two people:

Poland's National Security Council is meeting after reports that Russian missiles struck a farm in Przewodów, near the Ukrainian border

There is no official confirmation yet from the Polish government or US officials - the original source, AP reports, was US intelligence

A Pentagon spokesman said: "We are aware of the press reports alleging that two Russian missiles have struck a location inside Poland near the Ukraine border. I can tell you that we don't have any information at this time to corroborate those reports and are looking into this further

The Russian defence ministry has called the reports “a deliberate provocation”

Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities were targeted by dozens of Russian missiles on Tuesday - Ukraine says Russia launched more than 90 missiles, of which 73 were shot down

Ukraine says this was Russia's biggest strike against the country's energy system since the invasion in February - many power blackouts were imposed as infrastructure was hit.

can't see why everyone gets so worried about WW3.

If it happens then we all die in a nuclear attack.
we can't do anything about that and it will be over in seconds so no point worrying about it :D

Had a very weird / worrying dream last night about the city of Kherson in Ukraine, as we all know the Russian Military have withdrawn their troops from the city of Kherson, which although is good news, also didn't seem to make sense or be totally believable by both Ukraine and other military strategists etc in the western world, especially as Kherson was seen as being a major part of Putin's erroneous claims that Russia were succeeding in their invasion...

Anyway, in this dream (and I hope to god it isn't anywhere near true - The Russians pulled out of Kherson because they were waiting for the Ukrainian forces to re-take & occupy the city so that they could make a limited (small scale) Nuclear Attack on the city....

Thing is Putin is Losing not only the war, but the voices of opposition to him and the invasion within Russia are growing by the day....And I wouldn't put it passed the MadCunt to do something like that.... :cry:
Not a chance of him using nukes mate. Not even smaller tactical nukes. Apart from the obvious radiation risk to Russia, if he did go full mental bastard, there is the launch protocol to stop him doing it on a whim.

He also does not have access to a launch button, but rather a series of codes he would send to the nuke launch force. The US military have a two person verification protocol for launching and the russkies have the same at least, so it's not like he can just decide to nuke someone. At least two others need to send the same codes. Some reports say its actually three of five nominated code owners that have to also send the codes in Russia.

Also, most strategists believe that if he were to try and launch a premeditated nuclear strike, one of his bodyguards would likely pop him.
Russia wont do a first strike...

The funny thing about those is even when I do use them; say when going into the city centre to do some shopping, even though they are moving etc, I still find myself still walking whilst riding on them instead of just standing on one step and waiting for it to get me to the Top or Bottom. Hmmmm! :?

Whilst it's no consolation to the families of the two that were killed in a way this is probably the most favourable outcome.

Any rogue or intended missile strikes by Russia would put the NATO alliance under great pressure to retaliate.

What many seem to not realise is that if Russia weren't bombing and sending these cruise missiles into Ukraine, there would be no need for them to employ Anti-rocket/missile measures..... and so by inference the death of these two innocent farmers (Husband & Wife) are still down to Putin-the-Pedo-Cuntwhore.

Even it was a Ukrainian defensive missile, which now seems most likely, Putin-the-Pedo is still to blame, because if Russia were not bombarding Ukraine with missiles there would be no need for Ukraine to employ defensive measures. :|

Opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza has been sentenced to 25 years in jail in Russia for charges linked to his criticism of the war in Ukraine.

He was found guilty of treason, spreading "false" information about the Russian army and being affiliated with an "undesirable organisation".
The Russian-British former journalist and politician is the latest of several Putin opponents to have been arrested or forced to flee Russia.
He has denied all of the charges.

Last week, he said in a statement: "I subscribe to every word that I have said... Not only do I not repent any of this, I am proud of it."
"I know that the day will come when the darkness engulfing our country will clear," he added in remarks posted online. "Our society will open its eyes and shudder when it realises what crimes were committed in its name."

Mr Kara-Murza's 25-year sentence was the maximum sought by prosecutors and is the longest sentence an opposition figure has received since the war in Ukraine began.

It took only minutes for the judge to rule on his case - sometimes the delivery of verdicts and announcing sentencing can take a long time in Russian courts.

The judge said Mr Kara-Murza would serve his time in a "strict regime correctional colony" and that he would be fined 400,000 roubles ($4,900; £4,000).

The tough sentence is a sign that in today's Russia the authorities are not only determined to silence critics but also to neutralise anything or anyone they believe represents a threat to the political system.

The BBC was not allowed access into the courthouse and only a handful of journalists from Russian state media were granted access, along with the defendant's mother and lawyer.

Instead, reporters and foreign ambassadors crowded into a separate room to view proceedings on two TV screens.

Speaking outside the court after the sentencing, Mr Kara-Murza's lawyer, Maria Eismon, said the tough sentence was "terrifying" but also a "high appreciation" of her client's work.

"When [Mr Kara-Murza] heard it was 25 years, he said: my self-esteem even rose; I realised I'd been doing everything right!" she said.
Ukraine war: Where are Russia's opposition leaders now?

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny also weighed in on Mr Kara-Murza's sentencing, calling it "revenge" by the Kremlin "for the fact that he did not die at one time" after he allegedly survived two poisonings by Russian authorities.

Mr Kara-Murza played a key role in persuading Western governments to sanction Russian officials for human rights abuses and corruption.
He was arrested a year ago in Moscow, initially for disobeying a police officer. More serious charges were levelled at him once he was in custody.
Mr Kara-Murza's case was partly based on a speech he made to politicians in the US last year, where he said Russia was committing war crimes in Ukraine with cluster bombs in residential areas and "the bombing of maternity hospitals and schools".

Those claims have been independently documented - but deemed false by Russian investigators who said the defence ministry did "not permit the use of banned means… of conducting war" and insisted Ukraine's civilian population was not a target.

Another charge stemmed from an event for political prisoners at which Mr Kara-Murza referred to what investigators called Russia's "supposedly repressive policies".

Last week, a copy of a speech he made to the closed court was released, in which he said his trial reminded him of a Stalin-era show trial of the 1930s.
"I only blame myself for one thing," he added. "I failed to convince enough of my compatriots and politicians in democratic countries of the danger that the current Kremlin regime poses for Russia and for the world."

His sentence has been widely condemned, with the British government summoning its Russian ambassador.

"Russia's lack of commitment to protecting fundamental human rights, including freedom of expression, is alarming," British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement.

The US State Department also said it condemned the verdict and described him as "yet another target of the Russian government's escalating campaign of repression".

Not-for-profit group Human Rights Watch, meanwhile, described the verdict as a "travesty of justice" and called on Russia to "immediately vacate the verdict and unconditionally free him".

Mr Kara-Murza comes from a well-known Soviet dissident family. His father, Vladimir Sr, was also a critic of the government.
He received British citizenship when he moved to the UK as a teenager with his mother and he later attended Cambridge University.

He began his career in journalism before becoming an adviser to Boris Nemtsov, another prominent Russian opposition leader and politician who was shot dead in Moscow in 2015.

Mr Kara-Murza was involved in the passing of the Magnitsky Act in the US - a key piece of legislation that helped secure the adoption of sanctions targeting human rights abusers in Russia.

He nearly died twice after being poisoned and moved to the US with his family to recover.

He later returned to Russia but refused to leave after the invasion of Ukraine, despite the growing risk to those who opposed the government.
