KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of trying to destroy the Donbas and all who live there.
“The constant brutal bombardments, the constant Russian strikes on infrastructure and residential areas show that Russia wants to empty this territory of all people. Therefore, the defence of our land, the defence of our people, is literally a fight for life,” he said late Friday in his nightly video address to the nation.

It's that American double-standard I referred to:
The US can have a Monroe Doctrine; Russia can't.
So Ukraine invaded Russia at that time?
One does not have to conjure up a CIA conspiracy to explain the Maidan Revolution. Under Russian pressure the Ukrainian government had reversed course on an earlier agreement with the EU and closer alignment with Russia. This was unpopular in its own right without blaming the CIA. Even if your claim were true, it would not justify Russia's invasion. Besides, there have been three presidential election since 2014. Ukraine is an independent country, not an appendage of Russia.
You can go to www.riafan.ru. to see the Ukrainian losses. Click on the Army tab, upper left, the current battle map pulls up, scroll down to see their losses, staggering. 660 Ukie drone shot down as of today. 2700 armored vehicles tanks, 255 aircraft, 1200 artillery pieces, 600 AA and long range rockets.
Below the Ukie losses, is the current flanking and reducing of the Ukie Donbass pocket. I have been watching these maps since day one, they change everyday, reflecting what western MSM maps show ( if you can find any).
Sure doesn’t look like the Ukies are winning.
The Donetsk Oblast is taking a pounding by Vlad, I can’t imagine the Ukies holding much longer.
Wish I knew how to post the images. It is time the war cheerleaders can view some detailed maps, other than the western MSM garbage.
That's not what they say when the Ukrainians drive the Russians out of their community.
I am sorry that you can't read a basic HTML guide. But that must not be part of the training in the Institute for Propaganda Studies.
One way to see that a source is unreliable is that its numbers are not even plausible.
Don't be a fool for Russian propaganda.
Both sides used money to try to influence. Putin invaded an independent Ukraine to subjugate it.
Kind of late if people are looking for freedom and wealth in the world.
That is on its way out. Not many places left to run from this craziness.
The only reason the US and EU are after Russia is that they want to dominate the globe and institute a totalitarian world government led by those homos in Davos and Putin won’t play, so he has to go. That is why they felt sacrificing Ukrainians was no big deal to go after what they want. They make a good show and pay Big Z well. He has a gold pass to UK and a suitcase full of cash, home in Miami and big bank accounts to nestle in with when he splits.
To these globalists there is nothing as satisfying as using and exploiting past hatred and grievances to get people to do your bidding. None seem to be losing any sleep over it because they keep on tearing up their own countries and destroying freedom in preparation for their retarded Great Reset.
This Russian bs mentality of the "world is after us" is ridiculous. Ukraine did not invade Russia.
It doesn’t change what I said one bit. Quit being purposely ignorant. Ukraine people do not realize they will never be a free country. They will be run by tyrants that they will have to obey. Russia or NWO. Ukraine had a social credit system ready to roll out prior to this war. That is why the Uke PM said Ukraine was fighting for the New World Order.
I don’t see the world is after Russia. I woud wager Russia sees that, particularly after Biden said it was all for regime change and Blinken said it was to weaken Russia. This is a proxy war and only fools don’t know it.
If you haven’t noticed Russia’s not the least bit interested in what we think about Ukraine - those days are over. Russia’s now showing US and Nato exactly what they said would happen if they continued arming and placing troops in Ukraine and a host of other armaments. So here we are.
Why now, if this has nothing to do with NATO's expansion to the east?
Ukrainians obviously want to be part of Europe. That is their choice as an independent country. Russians want to be ruled by Putin for the next 25 years, well that is their choice. Proxy war was started by Putin trying to take Kyiv, which horrified Europe.
At least we know Putin - Zelenski’s just a stage actor...whatever the next plea for money he’s on it.
Weak US president and lack of serious consequences for Putin previous invasions.
That's phase III and it will be reserved for Western Ukraine.
Actually Russia is very concerned, which is why Lavrov and others keep threatening the West with nucs.
Problem is they are not an independent country. They have been run by other countries from the beginning.
The place was partitioned like crap from the start. What a epic mess.
That was two months ago...got anything more recent?
I thought so....
