KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said no one knows how long the war in his country will last but that Ukrainian forces are defying expectations by preventing Russian troops from overrunning eastern Ukraine, where the fighting has been fiercest for weeks.

In his nightly video address, Zelensky said he was proud of the Ukrainian defenders managing to hold back the Russian advance in the Donbas region, which borders Russia and where Moscow-backed separatists have controlled much of the territory for eight years.

But yesterday he said they were running out of ammo. Perhaps he lost his place in the script.

Telegram accounts are a much more accurate source than either puppet president

You know, for half a second, I read that headline as: WAR PIGS.

I think it works just as well.

There seem to be two wars ongoing. One in which men are sadly dying on both sides, as is the reality of war. The tally for this cannot be known until the war's end.

One is a media-messaged war. Send more money, and send more money, and send more money. Send more weapons, now to include nuclear weapons if a Polish politician's urging is heeded. This is proving to me that the war is in fact a proxy war. not between Ukraine and Russia, but between NATO -- which includes the US -- and Russia, excepting that NATO has not committed to actually entering the war with NATO troops.

Time will tell. Not propaganda. Not press releases. Not opinion journals and the high dudgeon of those who pretend to "know" what the outcome will be.

Zelenskyy, the second most favorite poodle of ‘der Führer und Reichskanzler’ Klaus Schwab. The first lapdog being PRC (Politically Repressive Canada) Prime Mistake True-dolt. (True-dolt is the fave only because PRC has more resources for the oligarchs to take, than Ukraine. True-dolt is also much more dense than Zelenskyy, thus, easier to manipulate by Schwab.)

How can you tell when both these yobs are lying? THEIR LIPS ARE MOVING!

“One is a media-messaged war.”

Good point - sounds like he’s prepping the US for another 40 big ones.

He was only getting about 6 out of the 40, so another go around is needed. The State Department and weapons manufacturers soaked up the rest.

Your job, citizen, is to learn how to accept contradictory narratives at the same time.

Obey, obey, obey!

Believe, believe, believe!

As noted below, Zelensky is probably trolling for $ and trying to avoid telling the truth to the Ukrainians. Biden kicked off the “blame game” in LA on Friday, which shows that the Biden Reich recognizes that the game is up; the Russians have won; and the US/NATO proxy war failure has to be laid at someone else’s doorstep. There’s a good chance that by September the AFU will depose the Zelensky regime. So many Ukrainian men and boys have been sacrificed for nothing by third rate twits in DC, Brussels, London, and Kiev. This is a tragedy, and it’s mainly the fault of President Depends regime. The Biden government is beyond criminal, both domestically and abroad. BTW, I hope the NSA enjoys this post. Let’s go Brandon!

You are entirely right. In the meantime for us news junkies we can extract such bits of news that seem meaningful and construct our own scenarios. Its an innocent pastime.

Churchill trolled shamelessly for US aid and avoided telling the truth to the British people as often as he could. Welcome to war.

It doesnt change the fact that Putin=Hitler in this war, and Zelensky is on the side of the angels.

I am planning to vote for the Spanish Vox party that is both for the EU and against this decadence. The Polish Law and Justice party, currently in power, is the same.

You insult a great many honorable people with this foolishness. Down with you and all your kind.

December 1941 - Press release from Herr Goebbels -

“We have already won in Russia; the English/American proxy war failure has to be laid at someone else’s doorstep. There’s a good chance that by Spring the Russians will depose the Stalin regime. So many Russian men and boys have been sacrificed for nothing by third rate twits in London and Washington.”
