Agreed. Zelensky can end this today if he wants to. But he won't. Biden/Nato won't stand for that.
Can’t Putin?
I thought the Brandon administration had already declared victory and had won this war. Geez. There goes Brandon’s environmment.
Yes, as long as money is flowing in, Zelenskyy will keep preaching.
This article (same paper, also today)
talks about Russian successes; perhaps this is the first time we see it in British press.. but then Telegraph cares about its reputation more than say DailyMail.
(wish it were not paywalled :( )
Your orc buddies have moved their exhausted troops from the Kharkiv area to the Popasna area and are now under the command of the Wagner Group. They brought all their artillery with them and now are intent on killing as many helpless civilians as possible, as you cheer them on. Way to Go!
Sure he can, but the West owns Zelenskyy, so he should be urged to stop the bellicosity and talk peace.
“Can’t Putin?”
Of course he can. But there are some on FR who love conquerors, especially if the conquered are smaller and weaker than the conqueror. I think there’s a psychological term for that.
More Neocon delusion. It’s over.
The intent isn't to trap civilians, it's to trap the elements of the UA in the cauldron.
Severodonetsk, although a quarter the size of Mariopol, is being touted as the next Azovstal if the Russian encircle and start a siege.
Bullies cheer on other bullies. It was ever thus.
You must be thrilled with Putin’s handiwork.
Hey hey Jonny Jay, how many babies did you kill today?

Isn’t Donbas supposed to be pro-Russia? Why would they bomb a pro-Russian enclave?
Maybe it’s not as pro-Russia as we’ve been told?
Could it be (gasp!) the Russians are lying again?
You know, like they lied about Katyn, KAL007, complying with bio weapons treaties, being involved with terrorist groups in Europe in the 70s and 80s….

Yes, peace in our time.
Not a chance with Zelenskyy's madia inflated ego and lust for money.
“The defences of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on eastern front lines collapse. Russian-led forces broke through the AFU fortifications in the Svetlodarsk region, which has been one of the main strongholds of the Ukrainian military putting pressure on the Donetsk People’s Republic for 7 years.
On May 24, the city fell under DPR control, as well as the nearby villages of Luhanskoe, Vozrozhdenie, Roty, Krinichnoye, Vozdvizhenka, Mironovka. The AFU still hold their positions in Novoluhanskoe, but are reportedly preparing to retreat.
Meanwhile UK tries to build a “coalition of the willing” as UKA retreats”
A dry but good summary with battle maps

When you’re rootin’ for Putin you’ve got your head up your Donbas!
