“We did not start this war, Russia did; and Russia can end it by going home. Nor give me the excuse that we “poked the bear.” Ukraine was not a threat to Russia. This is just Russia taking advantage of what they thought was a weak US and NATO in order to resubjugate Ukraine to Russia rule. Do not be mislead by any other excuses.”
Appreciate your excellent response.
To your point: Russia initiated this invasion.

In addition to the TRML-4D, Ukraine received three Biber bridge layer tanks, a portable demining system, two border guard vehicles and 16 Zetros off-road trucks.
Ukraine received the first air surveillance radars TRML-4D from Germany in May.
TRML-4D uses an advanced radar technology AESA, able to detect, track and classify different types of air targets, concentrating on small, high-speed, low-flying and/or manoeuvring cruise missiles and aircrafts, as well as helicopters that hover in the air.
The system allows quick detection and tracking of nearly 1500 targets in the radius of up to 250 km.
Last week Germany supplied Ukraine with a new batch of military assistance, which included high-precision guided projectiles.

Norway made a grant contribution of 190 million dollars to the Trust Fund for Support, Reconstruction, Reconstruction and Reform of Ukraine.
This was reported by the press service of the World Bank, Censor.NET reports.
“The Government of Norway has made a grant contribution to the World Bank’s Ukraine Support, Recovery, Reconstruction and Reform Trust Fund (URTF) in the amount of NOK 2 billion (USD 190 million) to support the capacity of the Government of Ukraine to provide services, including investments in the repair of destroyed infrastructure “, the message says.
It is noted that this is the second tranche provided by Norway to the URTF, following a grant contribution of USD 100 million, for which an agreement was signed in December 2022.
“Ukraine is in urgent need of funding. The current assistance will support the maintenance of critical infrastructure and the day-to-day provision of essential public services. Our assistance through the World Bank is also a contribution to the process of reforms needed to promote economic growth, as well as post-war reconstruction and European integration. This contribution is part of Norway’s five-year support package for Ukraine, it is a sign of our long-term support for Ukraine,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway, Anniken Huytfeldt.
I care about peace. You care about war. How far should we go to prevent Russia from winning? Are you gonna volunteer? Doubt it. You’re a hypocrite of the worst kind….situational ‘principles’ and quick to volunteer people to die with no fear for you personally. Easy to talk tough but in fact a coward and evil murderer.
Cheers
Goodness me! I already see one deleted comment on this young propaganda spam thread.
I surely hope nobody is being censored.
I you cared about peace your prayers would be that Russia end its invasion, not that we stop supporting the Ukrainians in defending themselves. As for how far we should go: give the Ukrainians the means they need to defeat the Russians. They have shown that they are more than willing to do the fighting. There is no need for US troops.
Your answer would lead to a Ukrainian surrender. But this would not be peace because the Russians would need to be brutal in enforcing their victory. Ukraine will no longer go peacefully under Russian rule. The only way for there to be real peace is for the Russians to go home and leave the Ukrainians in peace.
Ok, you won’t volunteer to kill Russians. What weapons and capabilities do you think we give the Ukrainians that will defeat the Russians?

What are you babbling about? I supported my country’s invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and occupation of Syria. Then I got older and wiser, and with two sons in the marine corps, I am now the biggest peacenik in existence. But war mongers like you, with no threat to their personal safety and no sense of their own stupidity, so easily cheer the killing and escalation as if it’s just some game in the backyard.
“What are you babbling about?”
The world as well as Freepers take a stand of Freedom for a Ukraine against Russian invasion.
You are not a peacenik while supporting brutal invasions. You do repeat Moscow talking points like a good little Putin stooge.
Absolutely. Our deepstate contrived to use Ukraine to break up the Russian Federation, and in a fit of pique Putin attacked, after having already taken over Crimea, which was Ukraines after Kruscheva assigned administrative control fair and square.
Putin took the bate where a wise and patient man would have abstained and tried to work on a peaceful resolution to the breakup of Russia with our crack diplomatice team includine Rice, Nuland and Blinken.
Putin can rot in hell for his sins. Our hands our clean.
Agreed, I wasn’t peacnik until I got older and my sons grew up. No argument from me. Still waiting to read how you think we can defeat Russia.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and ninty first day of the war.
Day 491: Jun 29
Today there is a lot of news from the east.
Here, after conducting a series of successful operations to the south of Bakhmut, Ukrainians have shifted their focus to the northern part of the region. The main axis of advance became the Sloviansk highway, where Russians used the dense tree lines along the road to conceal extensive trench networks.
Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade recently released a video that showed how exactly Ukrainians managed to breach Russian defense. As you can see, Russians have developed a very long system of trenches, which means that using traditional means, such as mortars and artillery, is highly inefficient. That is why Ukrainians decided to deploy multiple assault drone crews to target Russians precisely. Unlike artillery and mortar crews that shoot their shells blindly, drone operators see their target directly and can drop explosive shells precisely on the spot where Russian forces are located. Such an approach increases the effectiveness significantly and allows them to inflict substantial losses on the enemy already in the first 20 minutes.
After the first stage of the operation was completed, Ukrainians rolled out their tanks and unleashed devastating fire on the proximate branches of the trench network. This not only allowed to undermine Russian defense by demolishing the main fortifications but also drove Russians away from the out edge, giving some space for the Ukrainian assault units to enter the first trenches. Soon, the positions were taken, and Ukrainian soldiers were seen sitting and smoking before launching the next assault. In the aftermath of coordinated actions between various detachments, Ukrainians have advanced by up to 1 km.
Russian forces tried to compensate for the losses of land by launching a counterattack. Their target, however, was in a slightly different region – near Berkhivka. And this is not surprising because the situation for the Russians in this village was very dire, and it became harder and harder to continue holding this settlement each day.
That is why Russians decided to at least return control over the tree lines around the reservoir to increase the stability of their flanks. Ukrainian fighters met Russian assault units with fire. Ukrainian artillery was working with high intensity, and very soon, Ukrainian drone operators noticed how Russian soldiers collected their things and went away.
In the meantime, Ukrainian forces continued slowly intensifying their actions north of Bakhmut. The main idea of this group of forces is to slice off the bridgehead that Russian forces developed west of Soledar and set conditions for the encirclement of Soledar and Bakhmut. If we take into account the topography of the region, we can quickly understand that the most important settlement in this region is Yakovlivka. Yakovlivka is located on a hill above both Soledar and Bakhmut, so by breaching the Russian defense here, Ukrainians will open access to the Russian rear.
Recently released footage indicated that Ukrainians have already launched artillery preparation on this settlement. Russian forces understand the value of this village very well. That is why they are not saving resources in this direction and trying to eliminate the Ukrainian 10th and 109th Assault Brigades that are responsible for this region by any means, including extremely risky airstrikes. A Ukrainian fighter spotted one such Russian fighter jet in the middle of the mission and shot down the Russian fighter jet, saving dozens of soldiers from his detachment by preventing a devastating rocket strike.
Russian aviation remains a huge threat to Ukrainian soldiers, so supplies of air defense systems, including man-portable ones, change the situation on the ground tremendously.

“coming soon” again.
This is such a nonsensical source. Please stop this already.
Wow, I am surprised that you credit the US and God with that much power. If only!
We are being set up for a “Lusitania Moment”—and event that will anger Americans and get them to join to crusade to defeat Russia. It must see lots of Americans dead. and be blamed on Putin. Like: The explosion of the USS Maine (coal fire—blamed on a SPANISH Mine! lead to the Spanish-American war in 1898. Or the sinking of the Lusitania 1917 (set up my our friend England) to get us into WW I and lets not forget Pearl Harbor—many believe set up by FDR to get us into WW II (Why did he move the fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor? Why were the carriers sent to sea where they would be safe?) What will it be? Russians sabotage a US Nuke plant and poisons a whole city in America? A bomb takes out the Capital. A Russian-Iranian sub launched a bomb and kills Trump! or Biden in White House! (I bet the CIA could set that up) Maybe blow up Superbowl with a bomb filled blimp?
