🇫🇷 Arms supplies to Ukraine do not make Paris a party to the conflict (c) French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anne-Clair Legendre

🇩🇪 Providing support to Kyiv does not make Germany a party to the conflict in Ukraine (c) German Foreign Ministry

🇪🇺🇺🇸 NATO is not and does not intend to become a party to the Ukrainian conflict (c) NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

We simply arm the Nazis to the teeth, including heavy equipment and tanks, finance them, train them, provide intelligence, deliver ammunition, help with the repair of equipment and the treatment of the wounded, our military advisers and mercenaries are fighting for the Nazis ... BUT we are not a party to the conflict.

DPR will be liberated in the next month and a half - Apti Alaudinov

"The Russian Armed Forces are squeezing Ukrainian formations in the Ugledar and Artemivsk directions. The enemy is slowly beginning to retreat back, losing a lot of manpower <...>. I think that in the next month or month and a half at most we will see the Donetsk People's Republic liberated," said Akhmat special forces commander, deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps  of the LPR Apty Alaudinov.

Reader asked

What's the chance that Hungary and Romania will get their land back from Ukraine?

Answer
In the case of total victory for Russia, I don't see any reason why Hungary wouldn't get its land back. Especially, taking into concern the hard position of the Hungarian minority in current Ukraine (forceful mobilization, oppression, treating them as second-class citizens...)
The situation with Romania is much more complex. The political elites of Romania chose their side. They provided weapons to Kiev, bases and air space for NATO troops and spy/recon planes. Their politics blindly follow EU policy regarding Russia. Russia does not have any reason to have a friendly attitude toward Romania. Despite some people loving Russia or having a neutral attitude towards it, there is also a significant number of those with clearly stated anti - Russian sentiment. So, Russians don't consider Romania to be their friend. Basically, it can be summed up as "you betray us every time."  Chance for Romania to get the land it wants lies in the possibility that NATO troops enter Ukraine and occupy part of it - possibly as a tampon zone.

Question:

So my question would be do you think RF has any contingency in case a real nuke war happens and a preemptive strike is needed as what's the point in waiting to get hit with nukes anyway??? I'm thinking subway system could save millions of citizens in major cities and those in villages who are spread throughout RF have high probability of survival anyway..

Answer :
Answering this can be only hypothetical. If nuclear missiles start to fly, it won't be 1, 2, or 10 missiles. Hundreds and thousands of them would fly, and I will blatantly say, we will all be dead, or at least a big majority. Those that don't die during this will have an opportunity to enjoy unlivable lands, scorched/polluted water/soil/air, and die from hunger unless radiation poisoning gets them first. Regarding subway systems and scarcity of population, survival is possible (depending on where/what missile fall. But huge areas will be affected and the same story is as above. Remember, the use of tactical nuclear weapons is a possibility in this conflict, but a strategic nuclear weapon will spell "the end" for huge number of people.

Question from Cornubian
—
Why are all the rail bridges used to bring western equipment to the front still standing?

Russia does not have full control of the Ukrainian skies. Ukraine still has some air defence. You probably saw from previous events that it takes 5, 6 missiles to completely knock out a bridge. Railways are relatively cheap to repair, and Ukraine inherited from the USSR a dense network, full of alternative paths in case one is blocked.

When the bombings of electric substations happen, the passenger trains merely have delays of 1-4 hours instead of being cancelled. There are key points that could choke their logistics such as the tunnel in the border with Poland. Probably, those points are very well guarded by air defence and Russia can't reach it.

There was a conspiracy theory that Russian oligarchs didn't want the ukrainian logistics destroyed because of economic interests, but I don't believe in it.

Question :

When is Poland going to enter ukraine to regain it's lost lands?

Answer : I answered part of this question above, to another reader. Poland can get back its land if NATO troops enter Ukraine or by some political arrangement, either between Ukraine and Poland or Russia and Poland. In short, everyone wants their piece of cake. But those are 2 - 3 of the most plausible scenarios.
