The Ukrainians may be exaggerating this somewhat… possibly in an attempt to get a bigger cash flow headed their way. Just sayin’.

I think it’s spelled “Kharkov”.
Barring an unconditional surrender, everything east of the Dnieper river will be part of the Russian Federation. Nothing will prevent that from occurring.
“Nothing will prevent that from occurring.”
Really? So what’s prevented it from happening so far?
Russia's desire to go slow to save its own troops' lives and grind weakened the Ukrainian military to the point a major offensive is much easier.
You don't seem grasp what is going on -- the Russian strategy for the past year and a half has been to destroy the Ukrainian military, not gain territory.
But, the bet you made and lost with me proves you're objective or rational when it comes to what is occurring on the battlefield.
Nice dream but that is not what has been going on. The Russians have been launching multiple unsupported attacks across open fields and have been suffering horrible casualties. Estimates are that the ratio between Russian and Ukrainian casualties has been around 2.5:1.
Ukraine keeps losing ground, it will never get back.
FU you know exactly nothing.
When the curtain gets pulled away at the end of this play, there won't be any place far away enough for Little Vloddy zElenskyy to hide from the vengeance of his people.
No, Kazan is spot on. Have you seen the total destruction of every town and village Russia has attacked. Think of the effort, the energy necessary to destroy as they have. Ukrainian casualties have been high; half a million maybe. It’s trench warfare and Russia is winning. Victory will be theirs.
Time the war cheerleaders wake up, and senile Joe too. Fact: Kharkov falls, just like Marioupol, Bakmut, Avidivka, ….Chasov Yar in process, Vlad still holds all the cards….senile Joe and the West can do nothing about it.
….the war cheerleaders can thank senile Joe for our slow burn demise….all eyes on the upcoming Brics Summit….a stake through the heart of our current corrupted government.
I’m not really sure this true. Russias strategy going back centuries has always swamped it’s enemies with a seemingly never ending supply of manpower. Most of the time if we are not talking 1st world adversary they win. Its been reported the Ukrainians are losing 800-1000 troops a day. Unless the Russians are losing 10000+ a day its impossible for them to retake the east and highly unlikely they can hold the west.
The question is not are the Ukrainians being slowly pushed back but at what cost to the Russians. The Russians are taking serious loses. Can they sustain it? Is it worth it? The Russians are not in an existential war for their survival; the Ukrainians are. Are these territorial gains really worth it?
“to save its own troops lives”... BRAZEN STATEMENT
If that were the case, Russia would not be engaging in meat wave attacks.
I think it’s spelled “failure”.
Russia sucks and Putin is a douchebag.
Russian commentators predicting that Russia will conquer Ukraine in less than a week.

“All of you will die! But know one thing. Mother Russia will never forget us! Flowers will be brought to all of our headstones for centuries! Every warrior’s name will be carved into memorial plaques! Eternal flames will be lit for all of us!
