One of the outcomes of the meeting was an agreement on joint investigation of not only Russian war crimes, but also the crime of genocide. "We will ensure at all levels, including at the legal level, Russia's full responsibility for what it has done against Ukraine and Ukrainians," the president stressed.
21:16 Zelensky clarified in an evening video message that today's two sanctions decrees concern individuals and companies "that share the blame for Russian terror or help it." In particular, these are sanctions against persons who promote a terrorist state under the guise of sports, as well as against those who are associated with Russian officials. A separate list is IT companies that sponsor terror or provide digital opportunities to continue aggression.
"We synchronize all Ukrainian sanctions with global sanctions - this is an inevitable process. Sanctions pressure on all those who are to blame for this aggression, blocking their assets and capabilities at the global level - this is the self-defense of the world and even now from any other possibilities of aggression," the President stressed. .

Russian T-55 being older but perhaps being used for possible other reason. No software to be ruined from EMP blast. This tank is still operational not just a lump of metal after an EMP blast. Many serious upgrades also. Economical for other countries to acquire. I am no expert but this sounds very practical.

Desperate Putin's army welcomes 70-year-old Soviet-era tanks...
I notice in tell in the Daily Mail. When trying to sell something extra-dubious, they use the phrase "Putin's *something*". Putin's war. Putin's missiles. Putin's Wagner thugs. The dubious bit here is the suggestion the Russians are planning to go head-to-head against modern main battle tasks with 1950s Soviet tanks.
Think of the T-55 as an armored, self-propelled 100 mm gun. It can shield infantry as they advance behind it, or deliver indirect fire with drone spotters, or from behind a berm or in a trench with just the turret exposed, it can provide defensive cannon and machine gun fire. Useful stuff in a war.
We note the tank sighting was in Zaporizhzhia, a place where the Russians have been digging defensive fortifications in expectation of a Ukrainian offensive.

This is approximately the same as with the "landing on the Kinburn Spit" and "the encirclement of 20,000 Russian soldiers near Kherson." Purely information stuffing," Rozhin explained.

[REGNUM] The Poles can claim the entire right-bank Ukraine, which includes not only the so-called Galicia (Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil), but also Kyiv. About this in a conversation with URA. RU was told by a member of the Scientific Council of the Russian Military Historical Society, Doctor of Historical Sciences Oleg Nazarov .
According to the expert, the Poles can generally lay claim to the historically right-bank Ukraine, and this is a huge territory, which includes Kyiv. He stressed that the development of the situation will depend on the outcome of the special operation and the position of "other players in the post-Soviet space."
The scientist emphasized that in addition to Poland, Hungary and Romania claim the lands of Ukraine, "whose appetites have never been modest." Nazarov offered to look at the map of 1939, where you can see what territories were part of Poland, Romania, Hungary.
“What will remain of Ukraine, no one will say now, there are many players, especially on the western borders of Ukraine. Appetite comes with eating, ” concluded the historian .
As REGNUM reported , the direct involvement of NATO in a military conflict with Russia, in any outcome, will lead to the disappearance of Poland from the political map of the world , wrote Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev .

'As REGNUM reported , the direct involvement of NATO in a military conflict with Russia, in any outcome, will lead to the disappearance of Poland from the political map of the world , wrote Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev .' Far better to return lands to Poland, Romania, to calm neighbors. Fall of Ukraine with Russia negotiating this deal far more stable situation. In my opinion Putin-Russia have no grand ambitions to expand conflict. China wants its Belt project. The future could be very good after all is settled. Expansion of trades and services a viable prospect. This is what the USA and elites do not want to occur. Loss of control.
