It is a landing ship. Its the equivalent of a US WWII Landing Ship Tank (LST). Its got bow doors and a ramp for vehicles, including tanks, to drive onto a beach. In this war this sort of vessel is used by the Russians as a fast (or faster than similar merchant ships), maneuverable armed cargo ship.

And at current rate of losses Ukraine will be depleted of a population before it makes a tent in Russian held Russian speaking territories.

The problem is that the US/WEF have not strategy exepct a failed strategy of “nation building” thinking that a nation is a region with a border and a government which we impose, favor and support. This strategy fails everywhere because declaring and enforcing a “sovereign” are doesn’t make a nation. You need a coherent culture to do that. Ukrainians are insane sore at Russians. So you cannot build a nation with Ukrainians and Russians in it. And PS the Russians have been there at least as long as we Americans have been here.

Ukraines incredibly resistance to Putin's invasion proves there is no "nation building" required.

Stop obscuring the truth of the matter. The ethinic Russian regions don’t want to be part of Ukraine because the Ukrainians are nazis and treat the Russian speaking population thusly.

LOL, sure that's why half of the Ukrainian soldiers at the front-lines are Russian speakers.

You lost the Battle of the Black Sea to a country without a navy.

Marxists demean Old Glory in a similar way. Congrats on the company.

I didn’t lose anything. I’m not Russian, I’m American.

I’m not laser-focused on what Russia is doing. I’m more concerned about my own country.

My country is having some pretty serious problems with corrupt leadership that is tanking our economy and dissolving our southern border just to name a couple of things.
