Ukraine built up a 600,000 man army and it turned out they needed it.

So now Putin is destroying the Ukraine because the Ukraine doesn’t want peace, even if it means losing every last Ukrianian soldier and conscripted citizen. The Ukraine will possibly lose Odessa; Zelensky’s puppeteers are THAT committed to not giving up. They want WWIII and they haven’t gotten what they want yet.
The US would not tolerate Chinese biolabs and armies on our southern border, Putin and others in the international community warned that he had been completely clear and serious about not tolerating missile installations in the Crimea, aimed at Russia.

So now, the Ukrainians are lucky if they keep Odessa. If not, they are landlocked. Couldn’t happen to a nicer puppet than Zelensky, but the public suffers for Zelensky’s puppet status.

NATO built the Ukraine’s 600K army to fight their proxy war against Russia. They still hope to trigger WWIII so they continue their proxy war - well that and the desire for more of that luscious tax payer money in the form of ‘foreign aid’ even though the Ukraine stands zero chance of winning - American dollars are always good to have for bribes and mansions.

Take a look at a map. It’s a long way from the Volga to Odessa, and not only have the Russians not sustained a breakthrough, they have been driven back significantly.

Sorry, I lost my ability to spell correctly sometimes with having learned three other languages besides my native American. One of them at DLI.

Pathetic BS from you, the Putin apologist. You forgot to say -
“Don’t poke the bear”. Can you tell us one thing that you don’t like about Vlad Putin? Such as, he’s killed the most Russians since Joe Stalin.

No, actually Russians and Ukes are trading insults, accusations and claims the other drew back. Hard to say what’s going on there for now. I know the Ukrainians will lose based on their limited resources - even their Military leader said he knows they can’t get what they need to win. But right now - counter claims as to who controls what.

“Gee, you sure are taking it personal in your defense of Putin.

Methinks thou doth complaineth too much.”

I understand it might sound that way when you first hear a different view.

Putin was trying for a “capture Kyiv and force Ukraine to vassaldom “ tactic.

It failed

Putin doesn't want the Ukraine as a vassal. He wanted fair treatment of Eastern Ukraine's Russian population but the neo Nazis in the Ukraine won't have it - they hate the Russians genetically.

Also, Putin doesn't want missiles and biolabs (studying Russian DNA) in the Crimea threatening Russia's existance - but NATO won't stop waging war until their first strike weapons are reliably in place.

The Russians allied with Nazi Germany to start the war by simultaneously attacking Poland in 1939.

And Josef Stalin was Georgian.

Your grasp of history is weak

Accountability? Where was that accountability when the money supposedly spent on the Russian military went, instead, to the oligarchs?

And Putin demanding why Russian civilian planes aren’t selling during Russia’s abject failure of a war, isn’t demanding accountability, it is delusional

Ukraine wants peace.

You Russians leave Ukrainian territory that you signed a 1994 treaty (ratified again in 2004 by Putin) to preserve.

Once Russia leaves those boundaries, peace will happen

Ransom note in January 2023 “ now, the Ukrainians are lucky if they keep Odessa”.

You are about 10 months too late with your repeat of Kremlin propaganda.

Not only is there no danger of Odessa today falling, kherson was liberated from Russia last year

Putin wanted Ukraine as a vassal state, like Belarus.

Hence the sending of the VDV paratroopers to capture Kyiv.

That failed.

Now Putin is looking for a way, any way, out

“Eastern Ukraine’s Russian population “

The same population that, in 1991 voted at 82% level to leave the USSR?

The same population that is now fighting the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Russian speaking doesn’t mean Russian.

Heck, Zelensky is a native Russian speaker
