Ukraine’s escalating air attacks bring Putin’s invasion home to Russia
  • That's due to the fact of having homegrown cruise and ballistic missiles now, so posturing about usage of western weapons have no point. (There was no point ot start with, russia will tell tales about f35 killing 78 children with it tracks and nuclear artillery anyway) So this phase was semi-inevitable.

  • Ukraine’s escalating air attacks bring Putin’s invasion home to Russia
  • Neither severity nor scale of the conflict risen, destruction of kursk npp in kurchatov would be a slight escalation, to be honest unless anyone starts to use WMD and/or huge area denial techniques (like dropping tons of chloride trifluoride on enemy territory every day) it won't be escalation of this war.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 17.01.25
  • It won't. In imaginary scenario where it won't get all help imaginable from everyone to not collapse, at worst they will become real federation. There is nothing indicating that it will collapse, certainly not due economic reasons.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 17.01.25
  • Russians don't care, Putin as well. Meat wave offensive Zhukov-style works just fine for everyone involved. As long as they are winning even 1 meter per day with current losses or even 2 or 3 time higher nothing is going to cnange.

  • No idea about visas and their nomenclature, but this can't be all that hard to resolve with computers that everyone has in their pocket today? Also why would police even involve itself into cheking validity or conditions of specific visas?

  • I believe that russian army as it is now won't be a great problem in attack, they are pretty exhausted in terms of equipment, and old soviet stockpiles are gone mostly. But they still have a lot of long range weapons and they make enough of them. So they can continue waging war and buy politicians that will try to become friends with such great and majestic country.

  • I sincerely doubt that you don't follow "bad" laws. Dictatorial powers are granted as part of emergency, with conditions that must be met. Conditions that were explained earlier, again, you can't ignore laws like your country constitution (if there is one) unless the next step planned is dissolution of your nation.

    My personal opinion on granting or not granting whatever powers are irrelevant. That's how laws work.

    Your claims of there being a lack of democracy weren't explained, enlighten me. I can't understand your position on elections because you have a very warped idea what war means. At best there are multiple air raid alerts in every big city, at best every day hundreds of people are being either killed or being injured. Every industry is either completely destroyed or partially destroyed, absolute majority of critical infrastructure objects are at least partially destroyed. At least a million people are in armed forces with more than a half being on the front lines, they can't drop everything and go vote. Ballistic missile can arrive in 1-2 minutes after being detected, some can in less then a 1, and public events are usual r*ssian targets, you don't want your election start with multiple places being struck with ballistic missisles with cluster munition. Can you explain how to hold elections in this situation, the logistics of the operation and a purpose?

  • You do understand law as a concept? Especially constitution as a basic law that can't be violated unless every other law becomes invalid?

    As for not being particularly democratic that's either extremely uninformed or completely detached view. I would love to hear what is not particularly democratic about ukrainian state.

    As for president and safety council being autocratic, and holding dictatorial power, that is the whole point of martial law and any kind of emergency powers that granted to elected or not elected officials during emergency.

    1. War is not confined to eastern regions, it never was, even in 2014.
    2. Elections and freedom of speech, also freedom of movement, freedom of association and a lot of other freedoms are suspended for the duration of martial law being in effect, that's part of the law. Changes to constitution, referendums, strikes are prohibited as well. Law #389-vii (may 12, 2015) itself is powered by Constitution (article 64 part 2 mentions what freedoms can't be suspended during martial law). All previous iterations of the law starting from 2000, I think, have +- same conditions and change mostly in wording.
    3. Civil war was civil as in not against outside threat and it wasn't an existential threat. Stated r*ssian goals include genocide.
  • Achievments in universe

    Silly thought that stuck with me today.

    Is there any explanation for achievments in universe? Like Commander has a little notebook where he counts numbers of killed krait or centaurs? 🙃

    I understand that they are mostly for gameplay purposes, but in my imagination he stops at that bar in Divinity Reach once in a while and shows everyone his progress. On the other hand most of the side quests are done as collections/achievments so there must be some way for him to track these things.
