Russia Advances in Ukraine as Zelenskyy Stresses: ‘We Have No Lost Positions’
U S News via MSN ^ | June 20, 2023 | Paul D. Shinkman

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent adamance about Ukrainian forces’ early success in the country’s highly anticipated counteroffensive is clashing with mounting evidence that Russia’s invading forces are taking new ground.

“We have no lost positions,” Zelenskyy stressed in his nightly video address on Sunday. “In some areas, our warriors are moving forward. In some areas, they are defending their positions and resisting the occupiers' assaults and intensified attacks.”

But, he concluded, “We have no lost positions. Only liberated ones. They have only losses.”

Zelenskyy’s positive assessment aligns with the need of any embattled government to maintain national morale and to affirm confidence in top military commanders’ plans – but also to reassure Western benefactors eagerly watching what the newly empowered Ukrainian military is capable of doing with their months-long, multibillion-dollar investments.

I think from next week you’re going to see Ukrainian conscripts walk to the Russians and just start surrendering wholesale.

NATO lost the war and only they’re unaware of it.

In the next week or so we’ll approach the 500th day of Putin’s 3 day “special military operation”. Russia has lost this war and its reputation as a super power. No amount of Kremlin bootlicking will change those facts on the ground.

Kremlin bootlicking

...as opposed to cross-dressing zelinski and Democrat establishment crime family bootlicking.

All a matter of perspective, however sometimes the propaganda is simply SO obvious.

So this fake war in Ukraine will go on until Trump gets re-elected.

Reports on the ground, quite a few Ukrainian troops are surrendering. This is the 3rd rebuilt Ukrainian army. The 1st two were destroyed, they know.

I think it will go on until August/September, but if Ukrainian troops flee en masse or Putin suddenly strikes and kills Zelensky, you’ll see them sit down very quickly to the table.

Then you’ll see NATO assets pulled from Romania and Poland, Ukraine confirmed as a neutral state, and the Donbass ceded formally to Russia. You might see a prisoner return and some tiny thing like a NATO building in Crimea for “positive relations” or some junk which will be a 100% victory for NATO and affirmation that NATO now rules Crimea.

And the left will lap it up.

You can insult me all you want, but you need to stop following Biden media and open your eyes.

Yeah, it’s coming to an end pretty quickly. I just pray for the souls of both sides that have died in this meaningless conflict and I hope the leaders of our State dept. will be tried in criminal court for these deaths.

The saddest element here is the 1st Trump impeachment. Many thought it was to attack Burisma and Hunter Biden’s connection to it, but I think it was intentionally to prevent Zelensky from signing a peace treaty with Putin under Trump.

Oh are you a homo? Because Zelensky is not.

Were you aroused by the dancing penises?

Only gays see penises as gay.

You make me sick with your degenerate childish name calling.
