"Saturday will be the 80th day of the war for Kharkiv, which just three months ago was flourishing as the high-tech capital of Ukraine.

The city of 1.5 million people remains eerily deserted, even as the sounds of war begin to recede with the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive."

They should follow the Switzerland model. Every Ukrainian male must serve at least 1 year and keep his weapon in the house.

I doubt many average citizens will see any of the billions and billions America, and to a lesser amount, the EU, have poured into Ukraine for killing.

I suspect a great deal of the money is in a numbered account somewhere that it can’t be traced.

Video evidence from 2014 and May 9th from UK journalist that the locals viewed the Ukrainian military as invaders and view the Russian military and their allies as liberators.

In 2014, as documented with video footage, Ukrainian tanks rolled in Mariupol after the Maidan revolution to the jeers and catcalls of the local residents. The UA military got into a shootout with the local police, killing at least seven, and burned down the local police station.

Phillips than shows the celebration in Mariupol on May 9th of Victory Day and interviews residents overjoyed, telling him they waited eight years for the Russians to come liberate them.

” theglobeandmail.com ...”

as an ex-canadian, I call tell everyone here that it’s the NYT and CNN combined of Kanada. No newspaper in Kanada (except for the Toronto Red Star and Vancouver Scum/Sun) comes comes to lefty horse manure.

The nonsense coming from this article did not surprise me one bit.
