Well that's embarrassing for Putin...maybe these "Free Russia" dudes will take Belgorod and then exchange it for Mariupol.

An inside job, assisted by the head of the Wagner fighting forces, Prigozhin. Putin asked for it, and he’s getting it. ;)

“Putin Defectors”

LOL. Didn’t realize that the Ukrainian military is composed of ‘Putin Defectors’.

The Twitter feed for "Belgorod" is entertaining today...

Gosh…why don’t these “Putin Defectors” start by liberating Crimea or Donetsk or Luhansk?

What does Jerry Nadler have to do with anything? Sorry, I’m obviously behind on your Kremlin memes.

Perhaps they will take Belgorod and move on to Moscow instead, since they are not connected to Ukraine, and are fighting to liberate Russia from Putin and the oligarchs.

“Ponomarev, who was the only member of the Russian parliament to vote against Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014”

So this guy was a long term traitor to Russia, probably works for the CIA now.

Putin is no friend of the Oligarchs he merely tolerates some of them. Most Oligarchs want Putin gone. You obviously have very little understanding of what goes on over there.

If Ukraine couldn't hold Artemovsk, they are incapable of winning anywhere ANYWHERE within the annexed regions.

Perhaps Putin will break out the tactical nukes, is that what you clowns are hoping for? Why are you cheering for globohomo, no real conservative wants this proxy war with Russia and certainly nobody who is MAGA.
