KYIV — Russia’s annexation of four Ukrainian regions, announced by President Vladimir Putin on Friday, will not affect Kyiv’s resolve to free them with military force, said an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“For our plans, [Russia’s annexation] doesn’t matter,” Mykhailo Podolyak told POLITICO, speaking before the signing ceremony in Moscow orchestrated by Putin. The Russian leader railed at the United States and the West, denounced the Ukrainian government, and warned: “We will protect our land using all our forces.”
The annexation comes on a day when Ukrainian soldiers have reportedly encircled thousands of Russian troops near the city of Lyman in eastern Ukraine, and a couple of weeks after a successful counteroffensive that pushed Russian forces from the region near Kharkiv — the country’s second city.

“The mobilization shows that Russia has run out of a professional army,” Podolyak said, adding: “This army is being replaced by absolutely untrained people. A living resource has been thrown onto the front lines, and it will simply be exterminated.”

More like appalled at the blood lust of Ukrainians.
You know, it’s funny that enough time has passed and I see that guy differently than I did back then. Had a rough life, but at the moment it counted, he stood up and told people not to riot and kill on his behalf.
Back in the early 90s, this was a different country.
Everything the (Obama-)Biden Junta does seems to enrich and energize our actual enemies, like Afghanistan, Iran and China. All of this will just help China.
This war is purely in eastern Ukraine. No fighting in the west.
Read the article. The title is misleading.
They pointed out that the badly trained conscripts will be eliminated. This could be friendly fire, mess ups, etc
Donetsk etc ain’t Russian territory. Neither is Crimea or Alaska.
And China is eyeing the land you guys stole around vladivostok
You find in times of horrific sights and sounds that you end up putting a not politically correct or even grim humor to experiences to retain some sanity. Some see it as callous or non empathy for others when in fact it is merely a self protective measure.
I never asked that question nor would I ever. I knew they did. They sure weren't ''over there'' playing tag. My one friend,
who passed away a few years ago was an artillery sergeant in Vietnam.
One night over coffee in a late night diner he told me of how his four gun battery of self-propelled 155mm guns caught an NVA battalion in daylight out in the open, they were coming single file through a valley. He had one gun block them at the rear, one blocked them in the front and the other two guns annihilated the whole battalion. His story made my hair stand on end.
If the TV says Ukrainian forces are beating Russia back to the stone age you have to believe it. Everyone knows they aren’t allowed to lie on TV.
You moron, Friday was a kabuki show. Putin doesn’t think of the four Oblasts as Russia, he thinks of them as a handy corridor.
No reaction yet to Pushilin’s office in the DPR being taken over by the ukes ONE DAY after Pushilin bent the knee for Putin’s protection.
You forgot to out Saudi Arabia in that list
Everything on the internet is true, and no statistics are ever manipulated.
You need any cheese with that pedophile supporting boy?
Tow uncles fought in the Pacific. One in the first Marine provisional and the other ended his on the USS Missouri.
Two brothers one in Berlin just before the wall went up and the other in FL during the Cuban missile crisis loading nuclear bombs.
Like I said..was in SE Asia,
