A Ukrainian soldier said that Ukraine's losses are so heavy where he's fighting that they struggle to recover the bodies

A Ukrainian soldier fighting near the country's northern front line has described the menace of Russia's bombardment, telling the Times of London that they are "losing so many people, there are so many bodies we can't even bring them all back."

A major factor in the current Russian offensive is glide bombs, which Russia has stepped up the use of in the last three months.

These are Soviet-era bombs tricked out with guidance systems and wings enabling long-distance strikes.

As of last month, Russia was using them intensely around three flashpoints of the war: Kupiansk, the eastern city of Bakhmut, and Robotyne, a strategic southeastern village, the Kyiv Post reported.

I'm sure this is the only place that Ukraine has lost any troops, and this will quickly be remedied so they can continue with nearly no losses compared to Russia.

All will be well!

If this is true, then the Western leaders enticing Zelensky to force the Ukrainians to fight and die, or enabling Zelensky to force the Ukrainains to fight and die, are much worse people than Putin.

Putin has demonstrated he will not back off, and he has the resources and is not burdened with supply line obstacles. Zelensky has demonstrated that he is willing to send every Ukrainian to their death for some reason that no one knows.

Glide bomb - 1500 KG reportedly.

Kind of a shame that the Russians gave him safe passage.

Still love it every time a Russian soldier dies during their invasion of Ukraine.

Why does Graham and the Democrats want to see every fighting-aged make in Ukraine either die or get crippled?

What did these men do to those people to make them be HATED so much by our top people in government?

I detest Zelensky and at this point, Ukrainians do too. Raise the white flag, Z, as soon as tomorrow. And give us our weapons back.

Trump’s military advisor said on rumble that we’ve given them so many of our weapons, we can’t defend ourselves.

Of course, Business Insider had to get in this lie: "F-16s could help counter this threat, but they are not expected to arrive until the summer."

He couldn't give a hoot about Ukrainians. He gets off on hearing that Russians have died.

End the death, destruction, and waste
No more us money, weapons, or support of any kind.
Settle it now.
Ukraine lost, as it was always going to.
Putin won as he was always going to.

End the grift.

Why are zeepers so bloodthirsty and hateful? This war is a tragedy of western elitist hubris in thinking they could place their boot on Russia’s neck. Russia decided not to go down without a fight. As Americans we should look to the Russian example in resisting and fighting back against the globalist elites that have enslaved us and corrupted the constitutional republic.

Every time a Russian mother cries for her dead orc, an angel gets its wings.

Sick.

But a mentality that is completely to be expected from Zeepers, Glowies and NeoCons.

All the while the Neo-Fascists salivate at watching a megalomaniacal dictator roll post Soviet Republics, who have no desire to rejoin Russia, in order to re-establish the great Russian Empire over the threat of Nuclear Annihilation to any who dare interfere.

If we find his and daughters bones in a forest 60 years from now it will be too good of an ending for this one.

What does Putin’s daughter have to do with any of this ?

Or do the Zeepers, NeoCons and Glowies now target family members like the Cartels or the Triads ?

I believe this is where we blame the US educational system.
