Zelenskiy: Hell in Ukraine's Donbas
Reuters via Yahoo ^ | May 20th, 2022 | Unattributed

Posted on 05/23/2022 10:21:52 AM PDT by Mariner

STORY: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says the Donbas region to the southeast has been completely destroyed – as it has become the recent focus of the Russian offensive.

That’s as some of the world’s richest countries pledged billions to give Ukraine a boost. Moscow’s war effort has pulled back its forces from near the capital Kyiv, and moved artillery and armor to the east, which Zelenskiy says is piling on pressure.

“The armed forces of Ukraine continue advancing to liberate the Kharkiv region. But in Donbas, the occupiers are trying to exert even more pressure. It is a hell there. And it is not an exaggeration. Constant strikes on the Odesa region, on the cities of central Ukraine, Donbas is completely destroyed. All this has no and cannot have any military explanation for Russia.”

Some of you keep blowing that trumpet. You really looking forward to it?

“You really looking forward to it?”

Every student of military history is anticipating a truly grand battle. Of course the big ones may be happening now in Donbas. And we’ll hear very, very little reliable detail on those.

But Odessa will be a major topic in the international media, and there are dozens if not hundreds of reporters there.

On that one, we’ll likely get an accurate picture.

The play by Russia is to get Ukraine to turn over it’s oil rich eastern territory to Russia or to a Pro-Russia independent state. In addition to the oil, it would give Russia almost total control of the Black sea.

No warrior looks forward to war. There are plenty of battles already fought to study. Your 'student' must be studying to be a politician.

Bullshit.

Perhaps I should have been clearer. No sane Christian looks forward to death or killing. We may do so as necessary, but not out of wanting.

Have you ever been in battle? Had friends that did not come home? Watched gold star kids grow up without dad’s?

This man has destroyed his country due to his foolishness... I don’t view him as any sort of hero...

Complete lack of understanding of the GEOPOLITICS of his nation and willing to listen to the fools in Europe feeding him flat out lies about what they would do if Russia did invade...

He got played like a cheap fiddle, now how many lives are ruined?

No, this is not a defense of Russia or Putin, they may have invaded anyway... but there is little doubt this idiot was played...

Now we are in a proxy war with Russia, just like the globalist wanted.. and they aren’t happy with that, now they are doing everything in their power to further goad Russia into escalation of the conflict....

If a few cities in Europe get nuked as a result, who cares...

These people are certifiably insane.

There won’t be a battle for Odessa this year at least. Putin’s army is held at kherson.

You said: “....Now we are in a proxy war with Russia..”

No, you, you personally, are in a proxy war with Europe. And well paid at that.
