The truth hurts, fella.

That must be why you and the other pro Putin propaganda posters are so busy. A little bit hurt are you?

You are grasping at straws by taking some opinion piece in a random semi-fake media site as truth.

If the article is right why are a lot of Russian military guys on Telegram saying they are getting hit hard?

Why are Russians destroying dams in territory they hold?

We all know (those of us who are not trolls or suffering cranial/sphincter inversion) that the ukes are losing badly.

Actually only people drowning in Russian Kool-Aid "know" that "the ukes are losing badly".

I guess in Russian logic spending more than a year mostly losing territory you captured in the beginning is "winning".

How many Russian soldiers have died in all the Russian "winning"?

Agreed. Too many armchair warriors calling for a fight to the last Ukrainian as long as Russians are degraded. Poof. Ukraine is a dead county. My guess is 20 million never come home. Just my guess. It was a corrupt country before. Now about half of the average (non-military 16-60)men that didn’t get out are dead. The best military men were being held and trained for a Great offensive that just evaporated.

I know the cheerleaders here will say otherwise but there was never going to be victory just varying levels of destruction.

Such a waste of lives and exposure once again of the USA leaders vast and unquenchable level of corruption. My estimates are $15-$25 billion sitting in Biden family account somewhere. Zelensky has gotten a big payday also. I give it one year before a military coup send him to exile or death by those troops he held back.

You are the war cheerleaders.

Putin started this war 9 years ago, when he broke the Budapest Memorandum and invaded Donbas and siezed Crimea.

He is the one that can't be trusted.

“UKRAINE DIDN’T ATTACK RUSSIA”

Russia did attack in February, 2022. And that should never have happened. However, the armed hostilities have been going on since 2014 with many deaths and much destruction. It was Ukraine versus Ukrainian Russians wanting independence and it was egged on by the US. And that should never have happened.

Both the collective West, the US and Vlad cannot be trusted. Best to let the Ukies and Vlad “ hammer” this one out, by themselves without any interventions. Had this happened last year , the war would have been already concluded.

Of course Ukraine would have “ lost” some territory, but the horrendous loss of Ukrainian life and destruction of their infrastructure could have been averted….

Now Ukraine is faced with survival as a Nation….Western welfare will not last forever, no matter what Senile Joe says.

Get over it, Ukraine has shelled the Russian Donbass provinces since 2014. This war started in 2014, and the US’s support of their pet Nazis spells their doom.

The collective West ( the US) has much blood on their hands.

Of course, I don't trust Xiden or his handlers.

They wanted this war.

He, basically, invited Putin to invade.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine ended up with the world's third largest nuclear weapons stockpile.

Many, in Ukraine, wanted to keep those weapons as a deterrent to Russian aggression.

Upon signing the START 1 treaty, the Lisbon Protocol and the Budapest Memorandum, they were convinced to transfer the weapons to Russia, for dismantling, by being given security assurances, against Russian aggression, by the US, UK and France and the promise by Russia to not invade or attack.

The real reason for the war are the southern ports and resource rich territory east of the Dnieper.

Once Russia has that, they will, eventually take Odessa and unite with Transnistria, threatening Moldova and relegating Ukraine to a landlocked, impoverished backwater.

Whether you like them or not, they are fighting for their existence and the West has obligations to them.

I believe that if PDJT were, rightfully, president, this war wiuld not have happenef.
