(Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday said Ukraine would win back all the cities it had lost to Russia, including Sievierodonetsk, and admitted the war was becoming tough to handle emotionally.

In a late-night video address, he also said Ukraine had been hit by 45 Russian missiles and rockets over the previous 24 hours, which he described as a cynical but doomed attempt to break his people's spirits.

"Therefore all our cities - Sievierodonetsk, Donetsk, Luhansk - we'll get them all back," he said.

It was the only time in the address that he mentioned Sievierodonetsk, which finally fell to Moscow's forces earlier in the day after weeks of brutal fighting.

"Russia couldn’t even break the stoneage people of Afghanistan, they wont have any better luck with civilized people."

I think you're confusing your hero Biden with Putin. Afghanistan can be fully conquered - you just have to be willing kill every man, woman, and child to do it in and it's not not worth the effort.

I have questioned all war news since this started and have found the Western Media never seems to report the facts.

Малороссия (I refuse to call that place “ukraine”) is on its way to being the planet’s one stop shop for mail-order brides.

I’m surprised mothers and grandmothers haven’t marched into Kiev protesting to stop fighting and bring their men home. But then most of them were shopped out as refugees and more than likely staying where they landed for a better life. Why live in a country always in conflict if you have an option and can sneak your husband out too.

The population DOES support Russia. Bigly... Zelensky is wrong and he isn’t getting a square inch of that territory back.

Exactly!
Russians assumed they would support them, but they were wrong.
Remember, originally the Russians came to Ukraine in parade uniforms, ready to victory parade in three days.
They realized eventually that nobody is welcoming them, so they decided to change strategy. They want to win at all costs, otherwise uncle Vlad would be unhappy, by the way of destroying everything and killing all those they originally came in to “help”.

Thanks to the invasion, Putin actually created a united Ukrainian nation, first time in history!
The people who spoke Russian only are learning Ukrainian (Zelensky was originally one of them). The people who were bilingual (majority in Ukraine) switched to Ukrainian only.
The people who were pro-Russian decided that was the wrong way. The people who did not care are now totally hating Russians! Basically the whole country is unified against Russians, and will never give up!

So Ukraine will win eventually.
As Ukraine stands now, Russians have no chance.
They should realize that and pull out with some crafty excuse.
All they are doing is causing unnecessary grief, destruction and death.

Ukraine can take that down anytime when they decide they want to.
Plus they could cut the water to Crimea too.

That is the last thing these residents from Lysychansk wants. Very brave of them to speak out with the Ukrainians still there and no Russians there yet. "We want Putin to win".

Ok, lets say they are close to taking back a city. I’m sure Putin will make sure to leave no major infrastructure intact. Here, Zalenski. You win, have some rubble.

That was Hitler’s plan for Paris but it did not work out. Von Choltitz deserves some credit.

The Ukrainians cannot give up efforts against Russia’s land grabs.

he is (literally) an actor playing a part.

his job is chastise the west for not ‘doing more,’ demand de facto WWIII steps (no-fly zones), and in general serve as a mascot for western media.
