Signs of hope for an end to the Russian-Ukraine war emerged on Tuesday morning when a Russian official said Moscow would "reduce military action" in the north of Ukraine near Kyiv and Chirnihiv, according to multiple reports.
Negotiations between the two sides are taking place in Turkey a little more than a month into a conflict that has killed thousands on both sides, devastated much of Ukraine and led to stiff sanctions on Moscow from the west.
Talks in Turkey between Russia and Ukraine have wrapped for the day but are expected to continue. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the talks had argued that an immediate cease-fire was in each party's interest, according to a report by Bloomberg.

I guess they're tired of trying to feed the beached whale of the offensive against the capital.

Aka, we got our ass handed to us in the north, so we will concentrate elsewhere to save face.
I'm still laughing at "security guarantees"...
In regards to the USN's Aegis warships (in the Med and Baltic), any missile launch by Russia that is determined to have a trajectory that would enter NATO airspace can be intercepted by them.
The issue of Russia launching a "tactical" nuke at the Ukraine would have to be a case by case situation. There is no doubt that the mobile launchers have been tracked and current positions known.
Also, considering the Ukraine's excellent track record of intercepting and destroying Russian missiles so far, I suspect that Russia would have a hard time "nuking" the Ukraine, since Russia wouls be launching a very limited number (one, two, perhaps?) as opposed to the many conventional missile fired so far - as mentioned upthread, out of 70 conventional missiles fired at the Ukraine, only 8 made it through. That's a hell of a fine job done by Ukrainian forces, to be honest.
The most likely Tactical nuclear missile Russia would use, is the SS-21, which they have been firing at the Ukraine already, with conventional warheads.Key word if your post "can".
"Can" be intercepted. What is the success rate? I'm prettuy sure a successful intercept rate of a ballistic missile is not close to 100%.
If it were, there is no deterrent to using them.
Also, if we could shoot down a 100% of their ballistic missiles NATO would have engaged weeks ago and this war would be over.
I wouldn't waste too much thought and especially any obsession on the Polish MiGs. Let's instead focus on the unprecedented assistance Ukraine has received from NATO, including over ten thousand man portable missiles, plus sniper rifles, reconnaissance drones, radar systems, night vision and radio equipment. Not to mention the top notch intel the US and NATO is providing to Ukraine through recon satellites and communications intercepts - the latter likely saved Zelinsky's life through advanced warning of a Russian assassination squad. I'd say, MiGs aside NATO is getting more right than wrong this time around.im really obsed about way how it was screwed by politicians

The Russians also have nuclear artillery - that would be a problem.
Shouldn't this info be secret until after war? Was it the Guardian that published the faulty/poorly set fuses on Argentinian bombs in the Falklands, leading to the Argentines to address the matter and sink more RN ships? Isn't this a new "loose lips" moment?Entertaining article from The Guardian: The drone operators who halted Russian convoy headed for KyivSpecial IT force of 30 soldiers on quad bikes is vital part of Ukraine's defence, but forced to crowdfund for supplies
Ukraine needs to retake the coast between Crimea and Donblast. If they don't now they'll lose it in the peace. Throw everything at that objective. Russia wants the below land bridge with Crimea in preparation for their next invasion. Take it back now or it's gone IMO.Signs of hope for an end to the Russian-Ukraine war emerged on Tuesday morning when a Russian official said Moscow would "reduce military action" in the north of Ukraine near Kyiv and Chirnihiv, according to multiple reports.
The Aegis systems have been going through new threat upgrades with extensive testing just last year. It's looking quite impressive at high-threat denial at present.I'm not sure there would be enough time for an Aegis Cruiser to intercept a short range tactical nuke. We are talking very short distances here.
I, however, was referring to a ballistic launch against a NATO country. There is no 100% success rate against those missile types. Not even close.
No, where can i donate. This is one new thing on a battle field. And i would donate btwShouldn't this info be secret until after war?

Could this be Putler's dirty bomb false flag ops, or will be? "The Ukrainians used dirty bombs on our troops." Folks in Russia don't have the same access to information as we do.Unprotected Russian soldiers disturbed radioactive dust in Chernobyl's 'Red Forest', workers say
