@gail_gail9dd@wartranslated He is under serious pressure from the opposition and EU, and Russians are blackmailing Serbia with gas and oil supply.
This helps him a bit with EU and at the same time shows Russians that he also has an ace or two up his sleeve.
Slimy bastard finally made a good move.
@Karvajalg@wartranslated "The contribution of Serbian plants reportedly amounts to hundreds of thousands of shells for multiple-launch rocket systems and howitzers, as well as a million rounds of small arms ammunition".
No complaints so far 😎
PS. Should have been much, much more if you ask me.
@ChrisO_wiki Russians don't want to sell their share in the Serbian Oil Company (NIS) to help their "brothers" avoid sanctions, and don't want to sign the long term gas supply contract to prevent Serbia from just nationalizing NIS.
I guess this is just a response to such brotherly behavior.
@ChrisO_wiki For context: Serbian biggest oil refinery (owned by Gasprom) is under US sanctions which will cause a massive supply issues for Serbia once the reserves are used up (Dec 2025). On top of it, Gasprom has extended the gas supply contract only until the end of this year.
@vlada_mc@Electronic91069@yarotrof In other words, by the companies that offered the cheapest (kg/$) deliveries to LEO. EutelSat will just have to pay a bit more to ESA or someone else.
11 years ago, a pivotal moment took place in the history of Ukraine. The Berkut special police unit killed 48 people in the center of Kyiv, Yanukovych fled, and the Russians started a war against Ukraine. Share this thread. It`s huge. 👇
@Mordred00@Lorgarwasright That would be Orikan, the chronomancer (high ranking scientist). Trazyn is an overlord with (sleaping) army, but he usually tries to keep the low profile and therefore brings only his Lychguards.
@BrettOdesa Not to defend the Soviets, your arguments still stand, but it wasn't a one-sided thing:
"The mortality rate of POWs held in Germany ranged from ca. 3.5% for Western Allied POWs to ca. 60% for Soviet POWs (Schulte, 1988: 181)."
@secretsqrl123@basileus234 That might be a reason why putin is trying to add Ukrainian population (Christian Slavs) by annexing the occupied territories.
@Tonito1444 @BBBComplex @Doskebree @ivanastradner Serbs fought soldiers more than you guys did and had quite a success.
And also, the only success you guys ever had was against civilians or ambushing policemen.
Even the well equipped and organised SS Skenderbeg division got it's ass kicked by mere partisans.
@Tonito1444 @BBBComplex @Doskebree @ivanastradner Fair argument, but it is not like you have much stronger army now. So, other than bearing your chest, I don't honestly see the reason for such statements as the guy I was replying had.
