Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Russia’s leadership that it cannot win the war as Kyiv counts more gains on the battlefield, both in the south around Kherson and in the east, with Ukrainian troops pushing from Donetsk into Luhansk.

“You have already lost. Lost because even now, on the 224th day of the full-scale war, you are forced to explain to your people the purpose of all this — this war, deceitful mobilization, self-destruction of your nation’s every prospect.”

Zelenskyy thanked Ukrainian troops for their successes in reclaiming dozens of settlements in the south of Ukraine, in the Kherson region, and said “there will be more” gains to come.

“Ukrainians know what they fight for. And more and more Russian citizens realize that they must die simply because one single man does not want to stop the war,” he said, speaking in Russian.

The renewed push in Ukraine’s counteroffensives comes after Russia announced last week that it was “annexing” four regions of Ukraine. Kyiv’s successes on the battlefield are showing Moscow that its self-proclaimed “hold” on those regions is fragile.

” why is it that every single leftist publication and media outlet have been 100% pro Ukraine?”

Not just every single leftist publication, but pretty much every single publication period. And the answer is pretty obviously because when a small, weak nation gets attacked without provocation by a larger, stronger nation, everyone who isn’t a bully tends to sympathize with the underdog.

“Patience in warfare is usually the winning strategy.”

Not usually so successful when you are fighting an aggressive war of no real critical strategic importance while facing increasing economic and domestic problems at home.

It’s not that they think this site is so influential; it’s just that they can spew their stuff here all day and not get banned. The shills are paid by the post and paid by the word, so finding a Western forum where they can post as much as they want without worrying about making a new account every day is probably a jackpot for them.
