Yes, some or many are battle-hardened veterans from the Syrian war. They are experienced in close-quarter combat. Meaning fighting in cities, street to street, door to door.

The question is how many people will believe this?

Btw, there was a video doing the rounds yesterday of a tank that had run over a car and it was being said it was a Russian war crime....
Well well well, one finds the truth in the most unlikely of places... Spoiler alert, there was a gun fight between unidentified assailants, likely in fighting between Ukrainian factions and the tank driver lost control of the vehicle and ploughed into the car. If you understand Ukrainian the people filming don't actually know who the people fighting are - they don't say any are Russian
t.me
Warning: There's an actual gun fight shown in the video but nothing gruesome per se though someone definitely dies and it's on camera.

Another angle, this time of the firefight leading up to the tank driving over a civilian driving his car in Ukraine.

And with all that Ukraine is a failed state. More than 30 years and nothing but constant progression toward failure. Now that says everything about the people who were/are running the show there.
Currently the head is a popular comedian. I say this to point out how unprofessional the whole state structure is, starting with the gangster style free running oligarchs. At one time the former president of Georgia was running the Ukraine's Odessa Oblast !!!! There are other foreigners in important gov. positions. That shows the complete weakness and instability of the Ukrainian State. INSANE.

Resource rich countries tend to be quite unstable due to all the foreign interference and installed leaders. Think this applies to most of them.
The Swedish elite is fond of the idea of being a member of NATO and has a proxy agreement with Denmark, meaning that Denmark would come, if Sweden was attacked, but if Russia then retaliates against Denmark, would NATO then show up too??? Most likely, the Russian FM would not warn if the idea of membership had not been discussed between Sweden and NATO, even recently. Add to the picture that Sweden has fought 12 wars with Russian during the last 800 years, which maybe explains the Swedish obsession, which the US and NATO can use as leverage to gain a hearing. The question is if Sweden would dare Russia, out of NATO blackmail, a trick, or their own "wise" council.
Jumping ahead again - regarding:
I immediately thought of all the Canadians carrying fuel cans to the Convoy Truckers! How funny if the same assistance happened in Ukraine, but I guess that's wishful thinking.
There is some contention around this being from the 2018 Magnitogorsk gas explosion and that the building at least is very likely contemporary footage from Ukraine.
Journalist Justin Yau tweeted below on Thursday 24th showing a damaged apartment block claiming the footage he shot himself came from a bombed building South of Chuguyev [Ukraine]
Video link
Assuming this footage is from 2022, this is clearly the same building as is in the background of the wounded old lady that has appeared on so many front pages since:
This building is clearly not the one in Magnitogorsk damaged in 2018 by a gas explosion (see video below).
Considering its widespread dissemination and use its possible its a staged photo shoot with the equivalent of a crisis actor so as to sensationalize what looks to be merely superficial bomb-blast damage to the building. But of course she could be what they say she is - a victim of war who is lucky that her only wounds come from flying broken glass... after all the headlines tell you what you need to think.
Has anyone come across any other evidence this widely used image is suspect other than the tweet Pierre shared?

These new sanctions sound serious?

The EU imposes sanctions against the Central Bank of Russia, and this is the freezing of most of the reserve of 640 billion dollars
Here is an interview given a couple of days before the start of the war:

Here is an interview given a couple of days before the start of the war:
В Госдуме назвали условия конфискации сбережений россиян
Правительство может наложить арест на вклады населения, если Запад блокирует все средства, находящиеся за рубежом. Такое мнение высказал депутат Госдумы от КПРФ Николай Арефьев.

How odd. Through Nuoviso in Germany, i heard recently that last year, Germany’s largest weapon export was to …. Ukraine.
So when Germany only recently played coy of “not wanting to send weapons to Ukraine” - it is really a play for the galleries.
Sweden
Even Sweden might send weapons to the Ukraine - albeit the politicians are still discussing how to do it, and what to send. However it is my belief that this is done anyway (possibly already has been done earlier). While on the outside It just has to look good and “legal” in order to become official (when they found a way around the laws).
In reality Sweden often had and has its fingers in the games; unofficially sending weapons and instructor personnel to war countries (which according to our laws is forbidden).
But - that has never stopped the Swedish weapon industry to sell their stuff anyway… and nothing has ever changed in that regard; business as usual.
