Ukraine is ramping up for its highly anticipated spring offensive, powered by a huge arsenal of tanks and other weapons being delivered by Western allies, along with newly organized brigades.
“The frontline is priority number one. We are also actively preparing new brigades and units that will show themselves at the front,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address.
“Everyone in Ukraine must understand that the main task of the state is the de-occupation of our territories, the return of our lands and our people from Russian captivity.”

hmmm, Kiev’s 2023 population is now estimated at 2,990,733. so it seems your comment about Ukraine being gone may be slightly exaggerated....
Ukrainians are winning.... the vaccine stops the spread!
We can name that tune in one note!
I saw the ex-con real estate guy talking but he isn’t the original source, who gave it to him to spread around.
it’ll be very interesting to see how modern Western armor shakes out against the Soviets, uh, i mean the Russians ...
I mis-read about him, he hasn’t been convicted of anything, it is a civil suit from the state.
There’s other threads on this, and some freepers will even defend NATO in Ukraine. It’s insane.
I saw that ‘source’ too. Pretty laughable.
Yeah, the Uks are going to push the Russians out against a massive artillery deficit, little to no Air Order of Battle, and no economy. That always works out well.
You can have all the tanks in the world, but inexperienced crew, limited munitions and good vibes will run into reality. Many young Uks are going to needlessly die. And what will the consequences be?
I have wondered for months why Putin decided it was so important for him to start his Spring offensive in the middle of winter. One theory I am coming to is that he knows the counter offensive is coming and he wanted to force Ukraine into using reserves rather that building up for the counter offensive.
My personal opinion is that Putin failed in this objective and has greatly diminished his own forces in the process.
The coming counter offensive could be far more effective than many believe. Putin’s forces and logistics are stretched thin. Readiness is getting questionable. And moral couldn’t be worse.
All just my opinion.
Here is some debunking of the “Russian forces used a Khinzal hypersonic missile to strike an underground NATO command center, killing up to 300 people including at least 40 high level foreign advisors” story.

Newsweek and Snopes
😂
Yes, it was a silly claim in the first place but since the internet goofballs spread it around to each other it had to be looked into.
Snopes? SNOPES???
That’s embarrassing.
The Kremlin’s effort to invade and occupy all of Ukraine early last year failed. The Kremlin’s effort to force a Ukrainian surrender by bombarding civilians and power plants during the winter failed. The Kremlin’s effort to sweep its units across Ukraine on frozen ground failed.
Media tards and putinistas continue demanding that the Ukrainians tell them when the offensive will begin. Ukraine delivered an answer a few days ago: “When we’re ready.”
We’ll see if anyone “wins”. I could care less. Ukraine is a European problem and their main concern is climate change like it is here. The whole fxcking country here is a mess. Ukraine is irrelevant as is the rest of the world until we fix this shxthole.
Snopes and Newsweek are “looking into something?”
I really hope I’m misunderstanding and people on this forum are not attaching credibility to either of those
The Kremlin as been calling for rural ethnic losers to join its army in order to become real men. Brilliant. ;)

You have NO idea what the strategy of the Kremlin involving the targeting of the Ukrainian energy grid was, or is.
Shooting your mouth off it about shows us what you are.
