How should west respond to Russian invasion of Ukraine?

That the helicopter ran out of fuel was reported by a Russian troll.
Militarnyi said:
Russian propagandist Ilya Tumanov, who runs the aviation-focused Fighterbomber Telegram channel, published a video of the incident online and commented on it.
He mentioned that the emergency landing was caused by both engines shutting down after the helicopter completely ran out of fuel. The helicopter landed about 5 kilometers short of the airfield.

The story was picked up by some other outlets such as United24, 7News, and NYPost. The original report seems to be from Interfax: Helicopter sat on the carriageway on Sakhalin. A Russian news organization. So while we rely on a Russian propagandist for the "ran out of fuel" claim, it damn sure didn't happen 16 years ago.


In other Russian aviation news, four major Russian airports made the top five for flight delays as reported by Flightradar24. This two days after Zelensky warned that increased drone activity poses a threat to civilian aircraft in Russia. This was not meant as a threat that Ukraine would target civilian aircraft.
Hopefully it will at least stretch Russian air defenses to include more ATC equipment. Assuming Russian ATC equipment is as least as old as that in the US, there are juicy targets away from the airport themselves such as long range radar and short range directional radar (VOR).
Just saying.
Might want to check the storage rooms for flare pots.
 
And nanother day more Russian deths and wounded.,. More cripples.

I wonderr what the survivak rate is for Russians wounded on the battlefield.


AI Overview
Yes, wounded Russian soldiers in Ukraine are dying from infections. The combination of brutal trench warfare, highly contaminated environments, delayed medical evacuations, and severely strained military medical resources has made infection a major cause of death and complications for wounded personnel on the frontlines.

A qualitative assessment of disease and non-battle injuries in Ukraine since the Russian invasion - PMC

Disease and non-battle injuries (DNBI) often account for more military casualties than those from combat wounds. The February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has severely limited access to care in areas with increasing patient care needs beyond ...

1. Severe Wound Infections and Gangrene
Because of heavy artillery and drone strikes, most combat injuries involve devastating blast wounds and shrapnel. When soldiers are trapped in trenches without immediate medical evacuation, dirt and bacteria quickly contaminate these open wounds. Reports from the frontline indicate that many soldiers are left for extended periods without basic medical care, leading to life-threatening infections like gas gangrene, which can turn otherwise survivable injuries into death sentences.

2. High Rates of Multidrug-Resistant Bacterai
MaMedical studies examining the war in Ukraine have highlighted a dangerous prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Bacteria like Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from combat wounds are often highly resistant to standard antibiotics. This makes treating wound infections exceptionally difficult, frequently resulting in severe sepsis, necessary amputations, or death.

3. Lack of Proper Medical Care and Rapid Return to Combat
Independent reports show that the Russian military medical system is heavily overwhelmed. Commanders frequently bypass proper medical channels, sending wounded soldiers back to the frontlines with open wounds, untreated shrapnel, or broken bones before they have healed. Exposure to harsh, unsterile environment conditions while already injured dramatically multiplies the risk of secondary, fatal infections.

4. Spreading Disease in the Trenches
In addition to acute wound infections, the overall lack of hygiene and basic medical supplies (such as sterile syringes and clean water) has caused a spike in broader infectious diseases. Reports indicate rising rates of chronic conditions like hepatitis and HIV, alongside respiratory and cold-weather illnesses, which weaken the immune systems of soldiers and make them much more vulnerable to dying from subsequent battlefield injuries.

This has been reported in news.

AI Overview
Yes, European countries and international partners provide specialized medical care and rehabilitation for wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.

Medical Evacuation (Medevac) Process
Coordination: Transfers are managed by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Commission

The Hub in Poland: Patients are typically stabilized in Ukraine, moved via land to a special EU medical evacuation hub in Rzeszów, Poland, and then flown to hospitals across Europe

Scale: Over 6,000 Ukrainian patients—including military personnel, veterans, and injured civilians—have received treatment in more than 30 countries.

Key Programs and Support

Germany: Germany has taken in over 1,700 injured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, committing tens of millions of euros to cover free inpatient care, prosthetics, and complex surgeries

EU Solidarity: More than 20 European nations regularly open their specialized clinics to handle severe blast injuries, burns, and lost limbs that exceed local capacity in Ukraine.
