The hill ^ | 06/02/2022 | Jared Gans

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Russian forces now occupy about 20 percent of Ukrainian territory, almost 100 days into the war.

Zelensky spoke Thursday to Luxembourg’s legislature, saying Russian troops have invaded more than 3,600 “settlements,” but that Ukrainian forces have taken back more than 1,000 of them. He said Luxembourg’s motto, “We want to stay what we are,” is what Ukraine is currently fighting for.

Every day that this war goes on is another day that makes Soviet Russia weaker.

China is watching.

The right to keep ethnically cleansing Russian-speaking Ukrainians?

If we were to be true machevellian, tell China we wouldnt raise a stink if they decided to take a chunk of Russia. End result the two countries would nuke each other and we get rid of two adversaries for the price of one.

Oh screw off with your libel against Ukraine, while Russia is slaughtering the country.

You ought to be ashamed hiding your morality from reality.

Death to Putin and to hell with all Russian murdering pigs!

I’m fairly certain every nuclear power has a ‘use-em or lose-em’ doctrine, so your scenario still leads to worldwide holocaust.

Exactly....Porshenko was a master at it. No one was to speak Russian. It was not to be taught in school. And the Chocolate King owned ALL the media in Ukraine.

Save your wrath for your real enemies—the Davos madmen who want to turn you into their slave.

I watched an economist make a presentation about Russia and how corruption permeated everything. The part of Finland that was taken over by Russia has a per-capita income of $7900 while in Finland next door it was $49,000. It starts at the top, with Putin reported to be the richest man in Europe. His head of the military lives in a twenty-five-million-dollar house outside Moscow. But the corruption goes all the way to the bottom with the man in charge of the tank storage area committing suicide when told to prep a bunch of tanks for delivery. Only one in ten would start. Most likely he’d sold the parts. At the bottom of the totem company commanders were selling the labor of their conscripts and paying them effectively nothing. Ukraine had relatively less corruption and Putin couldn’t enforce his will there.

Even before the war surveys of young Russians indicated an astounding percentage saw no future there and they wanted to immigrate. Here’s a link.
