Ukraine DID FALL in a few2 weeks. What Russia is waging war against now is not Ukraine, it is NATO proxy force consisting of NATO arms and money and hoho bodies along with whatever mercs nato can dredge up and nato operators for anything more complicated than a WW-1 field piece.

“Ukraine DID FALL in a few2 weeks”

Is that why the Ukrainians killed off your elite Russian VDV paratroopers? And defeat the Russian tanks headed to Kyiv?

The Ukrainians won the battle of Hostomel and of Kyiv by themselves, defeating you Russians.

They’ve been pushing you Russians back since then.

There wasn’t any “baattle of Kiev”. Russians didn’t begin to have enough force on the ground for that. The action was meant to fix hohos around KIiev while real action was taking place elsewhere. That worked, and the fixing force left.

Ganee, If you say now “Ukraine DID FALL in a few2 weeks”

Why did you write

On 20th april 2022
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4056328/posts?page=1#1
“Ukraine is losing this conflict and losing it badly”

If they already fell in march, why are you saying they “are” losing in April?

Then on 28th May 2022
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4066863/posts?page=51#51
“you have about two weeks before the big collapse”

Fyi, there was no Ukrainian collapse in June 2023, rather Russia lost at Mykolaiv, losing any chance of taking Odessa.

And also on 16th May 2022 you wrote
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4063755/posts?page=5#5
“Look for mass surrender of Uki forces within the next two or three weeks.”

Err.. no mass surrender of troops in June or July, or indeed anytime during this Russian invasion.

Ganeemead “there wasn’t any battle of Kyiv “

That’s the opposite of what you said last year.

And yes, there was a battle of Kyiv

The Battle of Kyiv was part of the Kyiv offensive in the Russian invasion of Ukraine for control of Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, and surrounding districts. The combatants were elements of the Russian Armed Forces and Ukrainian Armed Forces. The battle lasted from 25 February 2022 to 2 April 2022 and ended with the withdrawal of Russian forces.

Russian forces engaged Ukrainian troops at Hostomel Airport on 24 February 2022

Following the successful Ukrainian counterattacks in late March, Russia announced it was withdrawing its forces from the Kyiv area on 29 March.
