“One of pre-war Russia’s most prosperous areas, the vast, flat Ukraine (the name can be translated as at the border or borderland) was one of the major wheat-producing regions of Europe as well as rich with mineral resources, including vast deposits of iron and coal.”
They still have all this, plus a well educated population and a large industrial base. Yet they are the poorest country in Europe. Something is really wrong there.
No treaty. More like a handshake. We shouldn’t have done it. Ukraine made a bad deal. But here we are.
Not your site.
Not your forum.
Not for you to decide.
Hilarious.
Your agenda is exposed for all to see and you’re squealing like a stuck pig. Nobody here buys what you’re selling except for your fellow globalist trollbots.
Go take your Mike Pence-Soros-Zelensky agenda somewhere else.
Ukraine most corrupt Country ever.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred seventy fifth day of the war.
Day 575: Sep 21
Today, the strikes in the south reached peak intensity.
Ukrainians conducted the biggest drone strike in the war, combining it with Strom Shadow missiles, while Russians launched almost half a hundred missiles in retaliation.
First of all, in response to yesterday’s devastation on the Russian bases inflicted by the Ukrainian strike, Russian forces decided to respond reciprocally and retaliated with a missile strike as well. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russians launched 43 missiles, and that 36 of them were intercepted. Still, the remaining 7 missiles hit Ukrainian cities.
The first target of the Russian strike became a substation connected to one of the Thermal Power Plants in Rivne. This was the first time in a very long time since Russians targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure. As a result, 5 cars parked in the vicinity were damaged, and some parts of the city temporarily lost electricity.
The second target became the hotel “Tsentralna” in Cherkasy. Russian sources claimed that the hotel was used as a base for foreign mercenaries, however, the abundant footage from the first moments of the strike till the end of evacuation shows that there were around 24 people in the hotel in total – all of them Ukrainian civilians.
In Kyiv, Russians reportedly tried to hit the radio factory, however, judging by the hole in the ground in the backyard, the missile missed the target and fell in the residential area, damaging a lot of small houses, cars, and a dormitory.
In Drohobychi, local residents reported hearing at least 3 explosions in the industrial area. Given the lack of footage, it seems like this time, Russians hit a military object, possibly a warehouse with equipment.
When it comes to the good news, Ukrainians broke all records and conducted the biggest drone strike in this war. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the last day, they intercepted 75 drones, 19 of which in the morning and also 5 Strom Shadow missiles. In light of the abundance of footage of explosions, the analysts concluded that Ukrainians launched more than 100 drones and up to 2 dozen of missiles.
The main target of the strike became the Russian airfield in Novofedorivka. Ukrainian Intelligence reported that at the moment of the strike, Russians had 12 fighter jets of various types and one air defense Pantsir. The airfield is also used as a training base for operators of drones Mojaher, so there were a lot of aerial targets. We have seen footage of explosions from drone strikes in this region already yesterday, however, this was just to exhaust and overload the Russian air defense prior to a missile strike.
In fact, in order to create a safe passage, Ukrainians also sent groups of drones to Rozdolne, Daleke, and Mizhvodne from the north and Belbek airfield and Sevastopol from the west. After that, Ukrainians launched Neptune missiles at the airfield. As a result, it was reported that Russian aviation suffered significant damage and destruction. Some Russian sources also mentioned that Russians also lost at least 30 soldiers. Later, the Ukrainian General Staff confirmed that they conducted a combined attack on the airfield.
Nonetheless, this was not the only successful strike today. Geolocated footage suggests that a lot of targets were hit around Sevastopol as well. So far, there is not enough information regarding the target of this strike, however, more information became available about yesterday’s strike in this place.
Recently released satellite footage from Planet Labs shows the aftermath of the Strom Shadow strike on the command post of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Ukrainian Intelligence reported that this was communication center number 744 of the Russian command.
The Russian command used this previously abandoned base instead of the main one because Ukrainians already hit their main headquarters with the drones in the past.
Unfortunately for Russians, the safety measures did not help.
By the way, after evacuating all of their submarines from Sevasotopol, Russians started evacuating all assault landing ships, so it looks like Crimea no longer has its fleet, and after today – also aviation.
In the meantime, Ukrainians conducted a precision strike on another Russian command center – this time in Melitopol. Ukrainian Intelligence found out that Russians started using a former engine factory, communicated this information to the Air Force, and together destroyed it. As a result, dozens of officers were killed and dozens hospitalized, including the commander of the Russian 58th Army.

Thanks, Mom!
Thanks, Mom!
Great! Then stop worrying about it.
Putin, hero of some Freepers.
I agree disappointing, to see these drips and drabs, western aircraft should have been there months ago, atacms as well, Russia has one card left to play and that is nuclear, and as the SNL skit from years ago showed, that option is not a good one
My opinion is Russia is on a logistic knife edge and a relatively small push could end this, with that said. Ukraine can’t sustain an extended like years long conflict at this level of manpower attrition(neither can Russia, but we know they couldn’t care less about manpower losses, well till the do…)
The attacks on military and infrastructure targets in Crimea are a good start to that tipping point
They know what they are saying is pure garbage, but I call it recentism. A condition where one only goes as far back in history to justify their position. France once controlled Moscow, so Moscow is actually French……
Putin has often lamented the fall of the Soviet Union and its control and power, that is his reference point. Everything else is irrelevant to them and nothing you can say will get them to change their position, facts and history be damned
Tell that to Czechs, “peace in out time”
Worked well then right?
Lol I believe soviets signed the same agreement “protecting” ukraines right to exist, but shush dot bring that up

GREAT COMMENT!
If thy only realized, no one is fooled except themselves!
Whether the US senate ratified it or not is irrelevant.
It’s a signed Memorandum between multiple heads of state, whose provenance is derived from the Belovezha Accords and the Helsinki accords. And the United Nations Charter.
Ukraine, like all ex Soviet states, had its “independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity” guaranteed in writing. The USA has no right over it, nor does Russia.
The USA and Russia, along with the UK, merely reinforced existing provisions.
Russia wanted a freebie from Ukraine - its nukes. Ukraine said “quid pro quo, we’re not going to disarm without watertight security guarantees”. Russia said “okay”. USA and UK also said “okay”.
There’d be no issue if Russia had stuck to the agreement instead of repeatedly violating it.
Add anyone who disagrees with you to that list, fascinating
LOL
