  2. Taking territory while losing your army is still a loss

  3.  @RJ-dw4jw  Ukraine has no nukes, and therefor can not threaten a nuclear strike. Ukraine gave up its nukes, and Russia promised to honor Ukrainian borders.

  4. So how does this fit into Russia losing its most elite forces at the beginning of the war?

  5. in German, the Gepard is a Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer, which translated means Anti-aircraft gun tank

  6.  @evryatis9231  the reason being Putin being an ethno nationalist imperialist gone mad, trying to collect Russian soil, as he says. In other words, a Hitler style blood and soil ideology.

  7.  @AB-ys4yn  The loss of the VDV troops in the attempt to take Hostomel airport at the beginning of the war is a fact, not propaganda.

  8.  @kalacaptain4818  No. In this context, Panzer means tank. Germany uses Kampfpanzer for Main battle tank, Schützenpanzer for armored personnel carrier, Radpanzer for armored transport vehicle...

  9. Meanwhile Russian rockets are hitting children hospitals and storage facilities for nuclear waste, as well as apartment buildings.

  10.  Inspiring Minds  Due to stockpiling by companies to prepare for Brexit, there are more lorries on the road. So due to Brexit, the problem is bigger than it would without.

  11.  @Yair44  the total size of the Russian army is 1 million. As there is no war according to the Russian government, the number of 2 million reservists (which is everyone who was in military service in the last 5 years, so hardly an active or ready force) is irrelevant.

  12.  @AB-ys4yn  the fact is that it took Russia several attempts to take the airport. Funny you mention the withdrawal of Russian troops, sounds like a defeat to me.

  13.  @AB-ys4yn  You name Mariopol, and than claim cities captured effortless and without damage...

  14. So why they bomb civilians?

  15. Right behind him is the best position if the knife is ready.

  16.  @Yair44  How to use reservists, who are NOT army personal, are working in civilian jobs and have no interest in fighting?

  17.  @hamletksquid2702  Quote: "during the shelling of Kyiv, Russian shells hit the radioactive waste storage facility of the Kyiv branch of the Radon Association - the State Inspectorate for Nuclear Regulation of Ukraine"

  18. Far far away? No. NATO is in nato member states. No NATO inside Russian borders. Russia is close to its borders, but not always inside its border, and that is the problem. NATO never agreed to not expand eastwards.

  19.  @amateur9626  the size of the Russian army is now smaller than Ukrainians. I repeat: reservists is anyone who was in military service in the last 5 years. No active force. No interest in fighting. Only be able to be used in war times. And according to Russia, there is no war. Ground forces are 300000. most of them are in Ukraine.

  20.  @amateur9626  you don’t get out much, do you?

  21.  @raycroal  Taking an airport and losing it again is a defeat. How would you describe the loss of the Russian flag ship? What brilliant Russian strategy is behind that?

  22.  @raycroal  Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 and annexed it, following the support of separatist movements in the east. That started the war.

  23.  @JOEL00111  the VDV are not rookies, but one of Russias most elite troops. They died in the beginning. WW2 tanks? Are you serious? What WW2 tank has been operated in Ukraine? What I see are T64, T72, T80 and T90 tanks, some of which are the most up to date tanks Russia has to offer (not counting the T14, but this one is still not there in sufficient numbers)

  24.  @raycroal  Is this the professor who says it’s all natos fault? Thank you, no, I had my fair share with academics with fancy titles who had no clue what they are talking about.

  25.  @JOEL00111  how do you know? And may I ask what you see as a victory? Because following Putins speeches and what Russian media published, his goal was the complete control over Ukraine and its annexation. This is now not achievable and therefor Russia can not win. If you believe Russia had a different objective, would you mind to share? Because I can only assess if Russia is winning when I know what you think.

  26. NATO has nukes, too. And how can Russia be cornered? Its not Russia being attacked.

  27.  @evryatis9231  That is what Putin said in his speech and his publications of last year: he wants to reunite historic Russia and collect Russian soil
