  1.  @alec1984  "Ukraine decided to go to war with Russia with Nato backing" Well of course they did. They were attacked by imperialist ruzzia and decided not to allow themselves to be overrun without a fight - which resulted in a war. But it is ruzzia that started the war. So we know who the "Muppet" is - just look in the mirror and you'll see him too.

  3.  @senatorjosephmccarthy2720  Actually buddy, Ukraine IS governed by a democracy. Zelensky was elected in a free and fair election in 2019 and there was a peaceful transition of power.

  4.  @Warren_Peace  "they are no longer the Empires that they were..." And neither is ruSSia, apparently.

  5.  @johnweak6788  I think you are looking at it wrong. This channel doesn't try to cover everything. He selects Ukrainian successes and analyses them - in detail better than any other channel. He could never hope to cover the entire war in this detail - and he obviously doesn't want to dwell on the losses and defeats. But if you want to hear about them there are plenty of other channels to visit. I like upbeat and detailed presentations he gives. I wouldn't want him to change. If this was the only channel reporting on the war then your criticism would be valid - but it's not the only channel.

  6. juilius8698 is desperate because ruSSians thought they'd be finished 21 months ago, but have failed badly - so he makes stupid remarks to help himself cope.

  7.  @Rtg5637  "Denigrating ruSSian small achievement" - What small achievement? ruSSian army gains in the last twelve months have been so small as to not register on the map. The Ukrainian counter-offensive, small as it may be, has gained more land than the entire ruSSian army has gained in twelve months. And that's not considering the huge areas of land the Ukrainian army liberated in the Kharkiv and Kherson offensives. "overhyping Ukrainian fruitless activity" - Why fruitless? Destroying hundreds of ruSSian armoured vehicles and tanks in a week is not fruitless. Pootin has managed to send more of his own ruSSian speaking and ethnic ruSSian troops to their deaths in four days, than the number of ruSSian speaking and ethnic ruSSian civilians that died in Donbas in the eight years 2014-2021. I wouldn't call those ruSSian troop losses fruitless on the part of Ukrainians.

  8. That is why you should get your info from a number of sources - to get a fuller picture.

  10.  @QuixlorrnGrotto  "Once upon a time, "people" were cannibals, but we have made some progress...". Unfortunately it appears that ruzzians haven't made as much progress as most of the rest of us.

  11. Well actually, no Ukraine is not losing ground. But you keep believing ruSSian BS if you want - we don't care if you're deluded.

  12. The reports are correct. The occupied area is nearly the same, but ruSSian forces are degraded. Ukraine has been concentrating on logistics - cutting off supplies to ruSSian forces. This has been very effective in some areas - the best recent example being ruSSia's artillery capacity. A year ago in Severodonesk ruSsians were firing 10 shells for every one that Ukraine could fire. This month, Ukrainian shells fired have outnumbered ruSSian shells fired for the first time. Another example is the recent attack on helicopters in Berdyansk, which has severely reduced the ability of ruSSia to attack targets in support of ruSSian ground troops. ruSSia doesn't have "huge resources at their disposal to cover up these losses". ruSSia has to pull troops away from the front near Kupyansk in order to back forces near Avdiivka and Robotyne because they are so short of troops.. And with thousands being killed around Avdiivka there will be a shortage that cannot be filled without further recruitment.

  13.  @freak94able  Stepan Bandera died over 60 years ago. He's as relevant to the current aggression by Russia, as Stalin and Lenin. You need to stop living in the past Mr Ordog. "Back to the USSR" - sorry, wrong Lennon. Any comments on the genocide being committed by Russia under Putin? Do you realise that Adolf would be proud of the fascist policies current emanating from the Kremlin.

  14.  @yellowtunes2756  "it doesn't matter that Ukrainians are succeeding" Well there's a Freudian slip. Thanks for the confirmation yellowtroll2756.

  15.  arlekino1263  Yes, isn't it terrible what the Russian fascists are doing to their neighbor. Why don't they just go back to Russia and leave Ukraine alone?

  16.  @artiomantry  "with 30% occupied area in Ukraine". You know you look foolish when you write false information like this. ruSSia occupies just 18% of Ukraine - which means that we can dismiss anything you say as being untrue.

  17.  @QANews  Hey QANews. There is no evidence to substantiate your disinformation. Regrettably, attempting to discover any fictitious validation may waste huge amounts of time and effort on my part, so I won't bother. Best of luck in your search for more propaganda, and warm regards.

  18.  @frekihelviti  One important factor you have left out. That is Israel breeding more Palestinian extremists. By allowing legitimate Palestinian land owners no recourse in the law when Israeli extremists drive them off their land, and by having the US veto nearly every UN resolution on these inequities (and by Israel ignoring the few that aren't vetoed), Israel has given young Palestinians no other option than to attempt violence. This is a direct cause of Palestinian extremism. This is driving people to Hamas and other extremist groups. Tell me what you think a Palestinian driven off his land should do?

  19.  @MrSlugny  "or did you make those numbers up by yourself?" Likely he did some research. Maybe you should try it.

  20. Nah, they still have heaps of rusty vehicles in storage. The problem is the closer they get to the bottom of the barrel, the worse the condition and equipment on the tanks and other armoured vehicles (we've all seen the pictures of various weaponry attached to armoured fighting vehicles - Mad Max style). I wonder if the production of new tanks is effected - do they still come out of the factory with all the bits and bobs they had 18 months ago?

  21.  @robkit007  Yes, what you say is all BS little Russian troll.

  22. This is a report on the Kursk area. New York isn't in Kursk. What part of that don't you understand?

  23.  @Andalus_EU  Nonetheless, the naval infantry from Vladivostok are in Ukraine, being depleted, instead of defending Vladisvostok. Same with russian troops from the Finnish border. Ditto russian troops form Murmansk, Armenia, Syria, Georgia... They have no business being in Ukraine - a separate sovereign nation.

  24.  @Andalus_EU  "What were the marines doing in Afghanistan? Same thing." They were occupying another sovereign nation. It seems to be a russian thing".
    2
  25.  @Andalus_EU  "What were the marines doing..." So why aren't they on the Baltic or Finnish borders, keeping out the invading NATO hordes? Because Putin lied to you, NATO is not a threat. russian troops are dying for nothing.

  28.  @Neunzahn  "I'm part of the west, so I like to see our interests followed, but risking a big war with russia is not in our interests". So how is capitulating to russian aggression in your "interests"?

  29.  @peterlim1972  "If ruSSia can annexed the Donbass region as a part of Russia" Ahh "If". Unfortunately for ruSSia, and unfortunately for ruSSian trolls like yourself, ruSSia cannot annex the Donbas. And ruSSia does not fully control the Donbas. And nobody - I mean NOBODY - recognises the fake referenda and false annexations ruSSia claims. Nobody: Not the United Nations; not former Warsaw Pact countries; not BRICS contries, not even CSTO countries. No neutral organisations. None of ruSSia's "friends". Nobody. The annexations are a joke, and you are a victim of the joke. "and if that is not showing something, tell me what is?" You are correct, ruSSia has failed to occupy the Donbas and therefore "that is not showing something". What is showing something is that Ukraine, after 20+ years of interference and undermining by ruSSia, is still standing against the world's second most powerful military. Now that IS showing something. Slava Ukraini.

  30.  @dushyantchahal2881  Gee you talk some rubbish. It appears that your hatred of the US has twisted your mind. You are morally corrupt if you support Russia, and you are $tupid if you do so only because you hate the US. I don't particularly like the US either, but I'm not so blinded that I can't see which nation is the evil one in this conflict. But you are!

  31.  @abu-omaral-bakr392  Nobody can end this war now, except Russia - by removing its troops from Ukraine, all of Ukraine. Any other "peace" will leave Ukraine robbed, and Russia emboldened. It would be a temporary peace at best. This needs to be sorted now, not shoved into the background to fester.

  32.  @somnia3423  It's alright, it wasn't a serious posting. @meme4one is a known ruzzian troll. He can be ignored.

  33. @yoloswagolo1 "do you note realise that ukraine is on thr verge of defeat". No, I did not realise - because it's not. Do you not realise russia is on the verge of collapse?

  34. @yoloswagolo1 "google how much land russia has taken in the last 3 months alone". I did. 0.05%. Just a tiny bit. SFA.

  35. @yoloswagolo1 "is that why Ukraine is considering forcing 18 year old" Actually, it's not. Where do you source all your false information?

  36. ​ @Mr97cobravert  Estimates are that ~700,000 have fled the country to avoid becoming "volunteers".

  39.  @prevedomedved  Is ruzzia on the 'Unfriendly countries list', because it is an unfriendly country. If it's not on the list, then the list incomplete and therefore is worthless.

  40. ​ @prevedomedved No. They started it in 1939 with the Treaty they signed with Hitler to divide Poland between them. Poles know the true colors of the ruzzians.

  41.  @yellowtunes2756  Nah, BS.

  42.  @MrSlugny  "Deadly strike on ruzzian shopping centre in Belgorod". As @yellowbelly says "Just because Ukraine intercepts ruzzian rockets above cities" this is because ruzzia intercepts Ukrainian rockets above shopping centres in Belgorod.

  43.  @Imperial_loyalist  "Who is ruSSia asking for help from?" Iran, North Korea and Belarus. Russia has also withdrawn men and weaponry from Syria and Armenia. "ruSSia uses a small part of its soldiers" Not so, ruSSia is short of soldiers. ruSSia has drawn troops from the Finnish and Norwegian borders, from the far east of ruSSia, from Syria, from Armenia, and from the hinterland. That is why Prigozhin's men were able to drive, almost unhindered, from Rostov to just short of Moscow. ruSSia needs a huge mobilisation (before the elections) if it is to maintain the present frontlines. And you forget the the ruSSian army has been unable to take any significant land in Ukraine for over twelve months, while the Ukrainian army has liberated huge areas - including over 18,000sq km in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts - over that same twelve months. You are just a silly misinformed ruSSian troll.

  44.  @CCCPRusRus  Yes I like to compare Kursk to Donetsk. 1) Kursk is relatively unscathed and very suitable for Ukrainian purposes including resettlement with Ukrainian people when russia has lost the war. Donetsk is being systematically levelled. None of the town and villages are taken, they are all raized to the ground by russia. russia takes nothing worth having. 2) Both threaten essential supply routes. 3) Kursk demonstrates to russian people that Putin cannot defend them.

  45. Agreed. It's a shame Putin has put everyone through this.

  46.  @jacobfrederick3614  Turkey has closed the Bospherous to warships. If it's come from Iran by sea, then it's come through the canal system from the Capstan Sea. I was under the impression it was simply ferrying military supplies across the Black Sea from ruzzia, due to ongoing problems with the Kerch rail bridge (I believe some of the lightly damaged spans haven't been replaced and are weight restricted).

  47.  @Kerguelen.Mapping  There's a legal process for annexation that includes free and fair ballots. That never happened - so they are not annexed.
    2
  48.  @kevinsmarts9953  Do you mean "do I think russia conducted free and fair elections when they annexed Poland?" via the Ribbentrop-Molotov Agreement. No it wasn't internationally recognised and neither Germany, nor russia, control Poland. So what was your point?

  49.  @Kerguelen.Mapping  If you believe that, then you probably even believe that all those munitions were destroyed by "falling debris".

  50.  @Sean-n2m  What backpedaling? Where? You don't show any in your quoted piece. Nor does it mention Zelenskyy. I think you are full of ruSSian BS. Maybe you are the one in mommy's basement?
