No one wants to sit down with foes who bomb their homes indiscriminately and target their energy infrastructure, plunging households into darkness and forcing surgeons in hospitals to perform operations by torchlight.
And as the remains of civilians tortured by Russian soldiers occupying the southern city of Kherson are unearthed, the cold fury Ukrainians felt at the documented abuses — from rape to casually gunning down non-combatants in Bucha and Irpin — only intensifies.
.... Nuts!” also fairly sums up the reaction of “ordinary” Ukrainians I spoke with this week, as to whether they would endorse peace negotiations — and whether they’d be willing to trade any land in the Donbas, or the whole of Crimea, for peace.
Yuliya Grigor, whose soldier husband is currently undergoing treatment for severe shell shock, said Ukraine can win this fight, if the West stays true and constant. The 35-year-old charity worker, who is from Mauripol but now lives in Lviv, said, “Russians don’t understand that however many missiles they throw at us, we won’t give in, surrender or negotiate. And they can’t divide us.”
“We don’t have anything to talk about. Putin doesn’t understand Ukraine is a separate, sovereign country and is united. Anyway, he doesn’t even know the meaning of the word peace. So, there is no sense in talking with them,” she added. ...
Yuliya isn’t alone in her vehemence. I interviewed a dozen others in the underground parking lot of a Lviv shopping mall that now serves as a bomb shelter...
“I disagree, and there can be no talks, no agreements because Russia will always break any deals; you can’t trust them. All countries recognized Ukraine’s borders in 1991, and this is our country."

“The average lifespan of a Ukrainian mobilized recruit now is approximately 10 days — from the time he is grabbed off the street to the time he falls on the battlefield.
Foreign mercenaries—which by and large have become regular Polish and Romanian (and other NATO countries’) troops masquerading as “volunteers” — loath the idea of being used as cannon fodder and behave as regular colonial expeditionary forces.”
https://t.me/Slavyangrad/17146
Ukrainian military expert, Oleg Zhdanov, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have nothing to attack Kherson
“The Ukrainian army is suffering huge losses. There is a shortage of personnel, insufficiently mobilized, a shortage of military equipment.

Indeed, PRAY.
Just FYI, you’re posting to a Polish person, not an American.
So why are russian troops retreating?
ROFLMAO!
The only reason that Russia was able to take as much of Ukraine as they did, is that everyone included Ukraine expected Russia would win.
But when Ukraine successfully stopped Russia at the battle of Kiev, they realized that Russia can be defeated.
The whole world sees that now. There is no way Russia could march to Berlin. They can't even advance in Ukraine any more.
And having seen how Russia treats civilians in conflict zones. There is not a country on earth that wouldn't fight Russia with everything they have, rather than let them roll over them.
In two months Russia will have to do another mobilization and another million Russian men will flee their country.
HIMARS has not changed squat!
Neither has them 2 NASAMS!
Neither has those rapidly being trashed M1777s!
Neither has them Javelins!
Neither has the German and French artillery!
Maybe them 1960s HAWKS we sending might be the next wonder weapons huh?
So why is russia retreating?
“In two months Russia will have to do another mobilization and another million Russian men will flee their country.”
How’s that current 100K Ukrainian mobilization, it’s 5th one!?
Lol. More keyboard warrior REMFs.
Was she in love with the Ghost of Kyiv?
More BS propaganda.
What country are you a citizen of?
Drag in and destroy.
Been working since April.
Furthermore, the ‘victories’ that Ukraine has allegedly had, have all come from Russian WITHDRAWALs and Ukraine occupying empty cities, towns, and open land.
Go figure, huh?
Right, no husbands in Ukraine have been killed. Its all propaganda. Do you think before you type?
I answered one A__Hole already, proudly born and raised in the US.
You care more about Ukraine than the US by your postings.
You’re a sellout.
I am proud to be a capital A to you.
Girl power. We should all run and hide.
Might have to do with the difference between the way Russian conscripts are armed and the way Ukrainian soldiers are armed.
Russian conscript issued:
Ukraine soldier issued: 
I think Ukraine should start bombing part of Russia. Turn about is fair plan.
