Because I live in Poland and have dual Polish citizenship (with American) - I don't have Ukrainian citizenship
How come you haven't been called up yet to the Russian army?

Such a brave patriot! You know Zelensky takes all volunteers, even chickensh!t expat Americans with Polish fetish. You comment like a lion but you act like a sheep. When you look in the mirror you know that you are looking at a coward with a big mouth and a tiny penis.

I won't volunteer to fight for Russia because I don't give 2 cents about them. I care about America and Americans.

"It is very cowardly and hypocritical that you have not been called up to fight for Rossiya, why is that? "

Uhm, because I am an American living in America and not some expat d- bag living in a foreign country? Do I get a prize for the right answer?

You don't have stones do you? Keep typing armchair warrior. If the Russians ever did invade Poland I'm certain that you would use your American citizenship to get your yourself back here as fast as you could ecause you are all mouth and no stones. If you really believed what you type daily then you would volunteer yesterday or commit suicide out of shame. Pathetic.

How can you live with yourself just typing out comments when Ukrainians are dying by the hundreds every day? Why aren’t you there with your brothers and sisters fighting the orcs? Shame.

People who believe Russian propaganda will believe anything. In brief, Putin’s government is hoping they can get the West to abandon the fight in Ukraine. That will enable Russia to salvage something out of the disaster they created for themselves.

You write just like a Russian who speaks bad English. For those writing from foreign countries, insults are not permitted on FR.

You are disturbed. I spoke fluent Russian almost 20 years ago and have retained quite a bit.

There is nothing Russian like in that post, not even remotely.

You speak just like a Biden follower however. Be careful visiting Obama. Don’t go out on a paddleboard.

I have dealt with you before Pops and your comments are as dumb and paranoid as ever. Go, volunteer for Zelensky, be a hero.

Of course you won’t. You anre just another lip-flappin’, effeminate neocon.

Everyone is lying.

This is a lazy excuse for those who don't want to follow the war closely. Use multiple sources and don't rely solely on the Western media coverage of Ukraine and you'll get a good picture of what's happening.

And Zelinskey just bought a luxury mansion in Egypt through his mother-in-law using US relief funds.

Simplistic response, there is no doubt that the 76th has had its combat capability degraded through loss of equipment and trained personnel being reconstituted with mobiks and conscripts

To say they are one of the best left and still severely degraded are not mutually exclusive ideas.

Gaining momentum? The counteroffensive has been going on for almost three months, cost about 50,000 lives and hasn't reached the first line of Russian defense.

Even if there was a breakthrough (which high unlikely), there is ZERO chance Ukraine could maintain any gains. Russia has 750,000 men in reserve.

How many more Ukrainians have to die so you get off on your Russian bloodlust fantasies?

"Curious red, what is your military back ground"

So you think anyone who does not back this diabolical and grifting neocon genocidal project a red communist, do you? I am not the one sucking up to Marxist Biden and his posse of communist flying monkeys like you are.

Your hero George Washington Zelensky said he will not hold elections unless we, the American taxpayer, pay for them. What a guy! Maybe if we sent him another $100 billion the rat-like midget will reopen the churches he closed down annd allow opposition parties again. What do you think? You are just a sad, little, projecting tyrant and a 2-bit crypto leftist. ESAD Butts128.

The 76th Guards (Chernogov Red Banner) Air Assault Division (VDV) has been deployed in the Kremmina region and fighting there for months. The 234th, 237th and maybe the 104th are being redeployed in the Robotnye direction; they serve as a rapid reaction force going from one hot spot to another.

Most of the original VDV regiments were wiped out in the first months of the war, and have now been reconstituted from contract troops and survivors consolidated from other destroyed VDV units. There are several VDV units fighting in Ukraine. The 76th is just one of them.

The 234th Regiment of the 76th is suspected to be the regiment behind the massacres at Bucha.

There is nothing strategic about the division. Perhaps prior to 2022 they were, but now, the unit is just a pale shadow of what it once was on paper.
