DNIPRO, Ukraine—Russia is regrouping its forces in eastern Ukraine and launching offensives along five lines of attack, Ukraine’s armed forces said on Saturday as officials in Kyiv and Western capitals continue to warn of a major Russian push to gain territory.
The main focus of Russia’s offensive remains the besieged city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, which it is seeking to surround and capture. The Ukrainian military said it had repelled multiple attacks, inflicting significant losses for the Russians.

What I am saying is that Turkey, a NATO member and ally on that basis and a host to American military bases, deserves our support and help far more than Biden-loving corrupt Ukraine. We’ve bled enough money and resources egging Ukraine on in their war with Russia—both have paid dearly. Time to end that senseless war.
Turkey had a terrible earthquake and needs help, but I don’t see how this means Ukraine must be abandoned.
Not what meant at all
How exactly is Turkey not being supported and Turkey has done a pretty good job of playing both sides
What does ending this “senseless” war look like to you?
Just give hitler his half of Poland and poof there is peace?
And of course it would have ended there.
Putin has unleashed hell on Ukraine but all is forgiven turn the gas and oil back on and Russia is welcomed back into the community of nations
None of this would have happened if Russia had not invaded. NATO let alone Ukraine we’re not going to invade Russia despite all of putins paranoia .
I don’t believe there are any “good guys” in this entire ordeal.
Russians invaded Ukraine and want to eradicate them. Russians are the bad guys.
Ukrainians fight back against a larger invader because they don’t want to be eradicated. They’re the good guys.
Simple as.
👍
You are as confused as everyone else SHOULD BE
Russia may not be a good guy, but Ukraine is certainly not one either.
Does anyone here think that ‘The Media’, who have been lying to us for years (decades, actually) has suddenly started reporting the truth?
And all the usual suspects (Biden, Soros, The Media, et al) are supporting Ukraine... Does anyone believe THEY are now doing the right thing?
Here is my PERSONAL opinion.
Trump was the new boss, in a company where the employees had been stealing for years. The thieves hid their activates in a box, biding their time.
Ukraine may be the box.
And Joe Biden and George Soros are the good guys??
The people who rule us now via that flagrently stolen election in 2020 want to rule the entire world the same way and the ONLY things standing in their way are Vladimir Putin and the Russian military.
Bkmk
“Either the reasons will be what you mention or the blame will be the West didn’t do enough, the tanks and fighter jets should have been given to Ukraine a year ago, etc.”
That 85 billion in hardware we left in Afghanistan should have immediately been diverted to Poland. I mean, we still had the airfields under our control at the time to move most of the stuff. And it wasn’t a surprise what was going to happen.
Instead, the big guy left the stuff for our enemies and then siphoned off our military capabilities.
Now here you go again.
It really is a rare occasion when morality is so clear. Russia invaded Ukraine to eradicate them. Ukrainians do not want to be eradicated.
That is why the defense of Russia’s horrible deeds has to be insane and confusing.
Russia had to invade because Russians were scared of Ukrainians, Ukrainians are subhumans/nazis/Jews and want to infect birds with a bioweapon killing only Russians, also they are satanists and it changes all the time.
The reality is that Russian dreams are getting their evil empire back and their mentality is that the happiest day of their lives is when neigbours cow dies.
Ukrainians dream about being as successful as Poland.
It’s a good thing to want to be like Poland. When Russia is the world champion in abortion, divorce, abandonment of children and alcoholism then Poland is truly a country most untouched with these sins.
All I know is that when Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham vote the same way on a Senate funding bill for Ukraine, you can be sure that the U.S. taxpayer is getting screwed — and the interests of this country are being undermined.
The predominately ethnic Russians of the Donbas waited for 8 years for Russia to arrive and liberate them from the murderous shelling of civilians by Kiev-ordered artillery.
Those people are not “conquered” or “invaded.” They are happily free of the mass killing by the Zelensky-controlled murderers. They voted for autonomy from Kiev years ago before this fighting and Kiev could never accept those in Donbas wanted NOTHING to do with tyrants in Kiev.
Present day Ukraine is not a unified people as so many falsely believe. The western part of Ukraine has a strongly Polish ethnic background. There are also strong elements of Hungarian and Romanian cultures.
I don’t disagree with much of what you said esp about Pres Trump, so Russia invaded and is savaging Ukraine to stop corruption????
I just can’t get past putins own words that Ukraine is not a country and it belongs to Russia. Everything else may be true and likely is, but putin invaded Ukraine because he wanted it and any talk of higher reasons IMO is bs
The only difference between Ukraine and Poland Latvia Lithuanian and Estonia is they are part of NATO
Putin new he could not invade them and this was his chance to expand his dream of a greater Russia. The west reaction to taking of Crimea and Donbas as well as debacle in Afghanistan EU dependency on petro products from Russia and his own misguided belief in the power of his military and of Ukraine’s…. led to Putin making this decision
But in the end this is putins fault and the idea that nothing should have been done to stop him and he would have stopped after just doesn’t ring true to me or history
Just my 2 cents and I don’t expect to change any one’s mind
No, I don’t think Russia is rushing in the stop the bad guys, they may just want to take over and get the money.
If there is Corruption benefiting anyone, they may want to be the ones benefitting.
It must be so nice to be blessed with such wisdom and clarity.
The Media and Soros, Bide, et al must suddenly be telling us the truth!
That’s apparently whats going on world wide. But it makes no sense, most of the elitists wanting this are Caucasian. It’s like blacks killing blacks in the ghettos. Each race is apparently its own worst enemy.
The world is just insane.
You refuse to face facts and instead simply buy into Moscow propaganda. Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine are not ethnic Russians. Thousands of patriotic Ukrainians from the Donbas are fighting bravely to liberate their hometowns from from criminal Russians, Mohammedans, and Buryats. Moscow has committed countless war crimes since their 2014 invasion, They fly the hammer and sickle flag and push their Bolshevik nostalgia. The Ukrainian army has proven itself brave, intrepid, and man for man far superior to the Russian soldiers.
Washington impeached Trump for trying to get to the bottom of USA/Ukraine corruption. So yes, Ukraine is key to Washington’s many corrupt activities. Ukraine was acting as some kind of second home away from home for our corrupt deep state.
The morality of Russia vs hohostan/ukraine really is simple, basically just Christianity vs nazism and naturally enough, the US govt along with all but one or two of its nato vassal states plops itself down four square on the side of the nazis. What is it about nazism that appeals to you??
