Horrible living conditions in Ukraine right now. No wonder millions of Ukrainians have fled the country. Was all this worth it just to join NATO?
1.5million left in darkness as Putin blasts Ukraine’s power grid

“Horrible living conditions in Ukraine right now. No wonder millions of Ukrainians have fled the country. Was all this worth it just to join NATO?”
Absolutely was worth it for the criminal leaders of Ukraine. Not so much for the people.
ROFLOL!
And people on this forum support this disaster caused by the Biden criminal cabal.
When will the Ukes attack Russian territory?
30 seconds over the Kremlin?
They will be defiant, as expected, but it wears on you as the weeks turn into months. Let’s see what happens.
Sadly, you are so right.
“This disaster is caused by Putin’s “Special Military Operation” Invasion” wanting to re-unite the U.S.S.R.
Very Interesting: Putin warned of ‘Kremlin power struggle’ as Russian military ‘professionally humiliated’:
Russia has struggled to get on the front foot in the Ukraine war as troops get pushed back by fierce counter offensive operations.

Vladimir Putin has been warned the military staff of the Russian Armed Forces have been “professionally humiliated” by the Kremlin, with a “significant power struggle” rumbling from within over the war in Ukraine. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has entered its ninth month but since then, Putin’s war plan has threatened to completely disintegrate, with tens of thousands of military personnel killed and claims Moscow is quickly running out of weapons.
During recent weeks, Russia has suffered crushing blows after being pushed backwards out of key Ukrainian regions by fierce counter-offensive operations from Ukrainian troops.
Ben Hodges, the former Commanding General US of the US Army Europe, has warned tensions have exploded between the Russian General Staff and the Kremlin.
He told Express.co.uk: “Russia’s General Staff have a lot of well-trained officers, but they have been professionally humiliated after seeing what has been going on and the fact that seemingly, the Kremlin took it out of their hands.
“This has been run from the very top and not through the normal General Staff processes.
“A lot of their deep-rooted problems were already there, regardless of who was in charge and who was planning it - the corruption, lack of operational experience etc, but they are unhappy with that.”
He added: “They see Sergei Shoigu, who is not really a general officer but still parades around in uniform. Some others, who should have retired a couple of years ago through old age, are still there.
“Then you have the promotion of the Chechen, Ramzan Kadyrov, who is the Colonel General. That is outside the norm, and I would imagine a number of professional Russian officers would be unhappy about that.”
Former Commanding General Hodges warned that as a result of the deep-rooted unhappiness from the General Staff, there is a “significant power struggle going on inside the Kremlin”.

He believes there are now deep divisions between the General Staff and Putin, who has now lost the trust in his generals to deliver on his objections in the Ukraine war.
The retired US Army officer continued: “There is a significant power struggle going on inside the Kremlin. You have people that are even more ultra-nationalist and hawkish than Putin that are unhappy with how it’s going.
“When you go below that, there does seem to be a widening gap between the general staff and Putin himself.
“I don’t think Putin trusts his generals much anymore and that’s why they have finally found Sergei Surovikin, whose two redeeming qualities seem to be brutality and loyalty.
It’s now well known that a newly-unified, Russian-Belarussian command is planning a winter offensive….. …..a “second front” against unprepared, largely unguarded areas in the Ukraine’s north. There may be some diversionary raids, but it’s understood that the most likely axis of advance is near the Polish border, south to Lutsk and then potentially to Lvov….. …..cutting off the main supply lines into the Ukraine….. …..without which all organized resistance by Ukrainian forces employing large modern weapons, would cease totally in as little as six weeks.
(Yes, the Ukraine’s largely-electric trains, which now run those supplies once they cross the border, will very likely be brought out of commission well before the winter, as Russia continues to destroy the power distribution system, and no foreign-donated diesel locomotives can replace them, as Europe uses different track gauge from the USSR. But, some material can be brought all the way by road, and the Polish route is by far the most realistic, in terms of terrain, the number of available roads, and a well-established base on the Polish side.)
Outside of Kiev, the Ukraine simply does not have the manpower to guard its northern border against the force being assembled.
What is the difference between Putin’s firebombings and environmentalists’ destruction of fossil fuel-based energy industry?
BLACKOUTS.
America is governed by criminals who will never pay for their misdeeds.
What, will the Russians force the Belorussians onward with knouts? The scenario is unlikely.
Save your breath.
You support this criminal Biden cabal and therefore YOU are responsible for the deaths of EVERY SINGLE civilian in The Ukraine.
YOU ARE A DISGRACE.
What’s this? A new source? Except it’s the Atlantic Council. 🤣
The Atlantic council??
You are really scraping the bottom of the think tank barrel manipulators and liars.
Stinking corporate globalist war pigs.
