@Titanss-1 he isn't wrong. Being super biased and being a journalist are two opposite things. And yes, if you call someone a bot because you disagree with someone's opinion - you're afraid that someone can challenge your opinion. Which is pathetic
3
If Ukraine had people like him since 2014 - there would be no need for invasion
3
Only 0.2% of Russians were mobilised btw. But Peskov son served in Ukraine as artillery crew member
3
Shoigu clearly stated that they achieved goals for 2023. Which clearly was to repel Ukrainian counter offensive (since they built fortifications everywhere). And Russia destroyed Ukrainian offensive so hard that Ukraine kidnapping people off streets to throw into military apparently wasn't enough to replace their losses, so now they want to mobilize another 500k troops
3
"race to their borders" - lol, Ukraine haven't even reached first line of Russian defenses in 2 months and already lost half of their Bradleys and 20% of leopard 2. What a race
3
 @stephenthomas3085 considering how little Russian losses are in comparison to Ukraine and considering that Russia outproduces entire NATO - Russia isn't the one who should surrender.
3
Both are propaganda channels
2
So you think that Ukraine also can't do anything with extra 500k that Zaluzhny cries for? Do you think Ukraine is done and that Russia will always control those regions?
2
@tilapiadave3234 it's not about territory. A year ago Ukraine wanted to take Crimea with their grand offensive. Right now noone believes in Ukrainian victory, Ukraine doesn't have ammo, tanks and anti air missiles, while running very low on manpower due to horrible losses. Even when the frontline isn't moving - Russia is still decimating the Ukrainian army, which was their goal from the start
2
Well, Russians defeated German Nazis and are now defeating Ukrainian Nazis. Seems reasonable to wave the Soviet flag because of its symbolism .
2
@Wasted_Talent007 bow would you stop a war in Donbas then? How would you make Ukraine to destroy dam that closed river to Crimea that supplied 2 million people with water?
2
Do you mean nazis from White Rex organisation ?
2
@marktrotter8971 soldier's graveyards are well known locations, there are none of them near villages. You're welcome for this sacred knowledge "The other 300k+ dead" are nothing more than propaganda. Do you realise that exaggeration of enemy losses is standard war propaganda and it was used since forever? Russia had 150k at the start, mobilized extra 300k (some of them were people who left that 150k army) and got 400k volunteers (who aren't necessarily joining the war). If Russia actually lost 300k - they would have lost many times more wounded. So who's destroying Ukrainian army now? Army of ghosts and crippled? How many do you think Ukraine has lost, considering huge Russian advantage in artillery, aviation, rockets, bombs, tanks and even drones now?
2
@chucklesthered2338 I'll tell you a secret, you don't need a body to call someone dead. During wars people burying empty coffins a lot
2
@SEIGE381 it's impossible to calculate injured
2
Ukraine received twice as little money as before their failed summer offensive btw. But now they don't even have the manpower to use it
2
@Coconautify well, they could have placed them outside of towns so Russia had no reason to focus them and to lower amount of rockets that fall on civilian cities. But it's too good for PR, so Ukraine is ok with sacrificing civilians
2
@thethirdtime9168 it doesn't matter who started the war, but Ukraine haven't done anything to avoid civilian casualties "Victim blaming" - I'm curious, if a cop had a firefight with some criminal and cop grabbed your wife and decided to use her as a human shield - who would you blame for her death? Would you also called everyone who blame cop "victim blamers"? I'll tell you a secret, endangering civilians is a war crime That's the whole point, Russia isn't targeting civilian infrastructure, they target Ukrainian soldiers and heavy equipment wherever Ukraine keeps them. They could have evacuated certain villages and make military bases out of them, could have made new military bases in general or buy thousands of military tents and place soldiers in fields or forests. But they decided to endanger civilians because it's good for PR stunt. So instead of "we intercepted rocket about the city and it fell on apartment block, we are sorry" news titles are "Putin rocket killed 8 civilians far away from warzone". Do you know who victims are? Those dead civilians. And I'm not blaming them, I'm blaming their government because if they actually cared - a lot of civilian casualties could have been avoided
2
@sharonlavery7656 fact is a fact, maps and photos from oryx don't lie
2
@MikeAG333 are you saying that right now Ukraine is "racing to Russian border"? Considering that Ukraine haven't made it to first line of defence after 2 months of trying - there will be no "breakthrough". Because there are layers of dragon teech and anti tank ditches with tons of trenches and mines between them. So after Ukraine pushes behind first Russian line - they will continue moving with the same speed because last 2 months they were slow as hell while attacking through greyzone
2
 @robintasker9078 are you implying that right now Ukraine is getting destroyed by an army of ghosts and crippled ?
2
@obstreperous1113 do you think that Ukrainian government should allow males from leaving Ukraine to avoid immoral war (trying to capture territories that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway) and avoid being used as cannon fodder (thrown in cauldrons of Bahmut and Avdiivka) too? Btw, if you support Russians leaving the country to avoid getting drafted, which is reasonable indeed, do you think that countries shouldn't ban Russians from entering their countries?
2
@michaelrussell6661 only soldiers can be inhumane towards each other. Everyone else doesn't have such privilege. Where are you from? I'm just curious if your country invaded half of middle East in last 20 years. Because if you're from NATO country - does it mean that everyone should treat you like evil subhuman?
2
Best generals? He sacrificed thousands in PE stunts like Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut Krinky Belgorod and now Avdeevka. Constantly letting your troops get encircled and exchange soldiers for Russian artillery shells doesn't sound like a great strategy. He also completely failed summer offensive. You can say that he didn't had enough equipment, but it was his decision to attack like this
1
@matrixfull "to such extend" - giving orders to fight for the city or retreat and avoid encirclement is in his power. Or do you think someone else is sacrificing soldiers in Krinky right now?
1
Both sides claimed that enemy top general is dead many times and they were all wrong. Why dumb people keep believing random war propaganda without any evidence?
1
Democrats can also agree on republican terms of border security So why are you blaming everything on republicans?
1
How so? F16 is 50yo plane and Ukraine will have very few of them with inexperienced pilots. Ukraine already had hundreds of 50yo planes and it doesn't help them at all What cutting edge technology are you talking about?
1
Interesting. Do you think Ukrainian casualties are much much worse, considering that they banned all men from leaving Ukraine and snatch them off streets?
1
It's not unbelievable. It's very easy to land on some swamp and keep sending reserves there to die for no reason at all without possibility of success. That's what Ukraine was doing entire war - sacrificing thousands of PR stunts
1
It's funny when pro Ukrainian NPCs riot against censorship, while being totally ok with censoring pro Russian content and calling anyone with different opinion a bot
1
Don't you think it's terrible what Ukraine done to Donbas in last 9 years? Do you think it's terrible that Ukraine dammed main water supplying river to Crimea to deliberately starve 2 million people there? Btw, world has a short memory. Germany joined NATO 10 years after they started worst war in history. And Japan became American partner despite Americans dropping nukes on them. So why do you think that hatred because of random war against pro nazi Ukrainian government will last longer than hatred because of those 2 events?
1
@mac_mcleod indeed, if Ukraine haven't became NATO puppet, haven't started praising nazi collaborators, haven't banned Russian language in schools and haven't started bombing civilians for wanting independence - they could have continued being brothers. And they will become brothers again after Russia beats some sense into them Btw, even USA admitted that Russian military became stronger during the war. They did lost big chunk of equipment, but their soldiers got experience against modern opponent and their military got flooded with drones which are wrecking Ukrainian offensive now
1
@danieldickson8591 everyone who disagrees with you is a paid troll? If you enjoy living in propaganda bubble and other people's opinions hurts your feelings - don't go to comment section
1
@mac_mcleod 1) Russia sent mercs to protect civilian population from nazis from Fight Sector 2) Billionaires who used those nazis to overthrow DEMOCRATICALLY elected government wanted to join EU and NATO before 2014 3) What Russians have to do with famine in 1930s? Georgian guy was the leader at the time. And if you're saying that it was deliberate starvation - then who decided to starve Russians near Moscow in 1920? 4) eastern Ukrainians speak Russian and support Russia because they were the same country for the last 1000 of years 5) "forced children to learn country's main language in schools" - what a shocker. What country doesn't do that? 6) "2% of nazis in Ukraine" - but they have power, Ukraine gives them tanks, they beat up or kill opposition (like oles' buzina), Ukraine calls nazi collaborators and mass murderers "heroes of Ukraine", they name streets in their honour. Obviously vast majority of Ukranians aren't nazis, but those that are - were killing Russians for 8 years before Russia invaded 7) "nationalist" and "nazis" are 2 different things, Russia barely has any nazis in their country, they have laws against them and they have no power. For example leader of "freedom of Russia" Denis Nikitin is a nazi who was chased by government (like his friend Tesak) and who escaped to EU to make White Rex merch for other nazis 8) Even amnesty international admitted that Ukraine is hiding their troops in civilian areas. So no, Russia wasn't deliberately killing civilians, but they were killing soldiers who were using civilians as human shields 9) What head of intelligence? What's his name, i want to google it
1
@dro355 they wouldn't be bombed if Ukrainian army wasn't hiding in civilian areas, which even amnesty international admitted
1
@stevebeer3324 well, Ukraine was bombing civilians for almost a decade, supported and glorified nazis, while getting rid of all Russian (books, movies, language etc). Do you think it was bullying to beat some sense into Germany in ww2? Do you think Germany becoming NATO member is abusive too? Yes, Russian language was second official before 2014 coup, but pro nazi billionaires who came to power decided to ban it. It was one of the main reasons why eastern Ukrainians rised up Amnesty international admitted that Ukraine hides their troops and equipment inside cities. And when things like this happen - cities are getting destroyed. Just like NATO destroyed many cities in middle east. Just like Russia destroyed Bahmut. But notice how they haven't destroyed Kharkov or Kherson because there were little to no Ukrainian soldiers when Russians walked in. And compare it to Russia leaving cities instead of fighting inside them like Kherson "Ukraine prepared to have a stance of neutrality" - what? Since 2014 they were bombing Donbas for almost a decade, they constantly tried to join EU and NATO, they were receiving weapons and training from NATO. Btw, on Munich conference before invasion Zelensky said that Ukraine should make nukes. Is this neutrality? "Coercive control" - do you realize that EU also controls what's their members are doing? Do you realize that NATO sanctions anyone who helps Russia or even buys their goods above certain price? Do you realize that EU is so deep under USA boot that they haven't done anything about USA blowing up Nord Stream? And before you said "there's no evidence" - before the war Biden literally said "if Russia invades - i will put an end to Nord Stream". Do you think it's also abusive to damage EU economy like that? Russia isn't more controlling than anyone else. Some countries were just salty that Russia owned then and they were happy to change sides
1
@Private-Jimenez Poland allying Germany took part of Czechoslovakia a year before USSR and Germany ate Poland, so i don't get your point
1
@Private-Jimenez middle east and Serbia also haven't been a threat to NATO, but they still got invaded. Taiwan being secured by China is also not a threat to USA, but they still supplying them weapons. Do you think Russia should have allowed Ukraine to kill civilians next to Russian borders? Do you think Russia shouldn't have been consirned about Zelensky threatening to make nukes on Munich conference before invasion? Do you think Russia shouldn't have been consirned about Ukraine damming river to Crimea that was supplying 80% of water to the region to deliberately starve 2 million people? Do you think Russia shouldn't have been considering about nazis jumping on streets in Kiev in 2014 and chanting "moskolyaku na gilyaku" (which means "hang all Russians")? And the most important question - what should have Ukraine done to justify Russian invasion in your eyes?
1
If you send more weapons - you prolong the war, death and suffering of both Ukrainians and Russians. You don't want the war to end, you want Ukraine to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to take regions that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway
1
budgetpcgaming according to mediazona Russia is losing 70 soldiers per day in the entire front line. How many do you think Ukraine is losing while being encircled for multiple months and decimated by thousands of tons of explosives? Russia did lose plenty of tanks tho, but tanks are replaceable, unlike soldiers. Do you think that there's a reason why Russia was sustaining it's army with only volunteers for more than a year, while Ukrainian army is undermanned, despite kidnapping people off streets for 2 years already? Btw, for comparison, during the defence of Severodonetsk Zelensky said that Ukraine was losing 200 soldiers per day. And yes, if a propagandistic YouTube channel got his information from a propagandistic newspaper - doesn't mean that they're right.
1
budgetpcgaming does this source has actual proof? Or is it just quoting someone or making estimations based on nothing? Because mediazona literally counted graveyards and posts on social media, they know names of those soldiers and their specialization. Their data is as objective as it can possibly be
1
Do you realise that everything he said about Russia can be applied for Ukraine and any other country in general? Do you realise that Ukrainian militia kidnaps people off streets to throw them into the military, which isn't happening in Russia?
1
@Warmenlt every Russian men went through at least 1 year of training when they turn 18. And they received months of extra training before being sent to the front Are you projecting or something? Because best Ukrainian troops recieved 2-3 months of training in NATO countries in total to be sent to some PR meatgrinder like in Krinky
1
@Warmenlt too long, didn't read
1
@nanonano2595 he said that Russian troops shoot a few times and are sent to the front few days later. He doesn't know about yearly Russian conscription service and believes that 300k people reached the frontline within days. Why would I bother talking to idiots who have no clue about the subject
1
There are Ukrainians and there are Bandera Nazis
1
@azzlack99 few hundred nazis who were almost entirely wiped out a year ago (well, since they haven't done any raids in awhile) isn't a threat
1
Would you operate a digger to find 500kg bomb? Would you send people to do that for you? Shovels are indeed the safest way to do that
1
Crimes is Russian because Crimeans pay taxes to Russia and because Russia pays pensions to locals. Your or Zelensky's opinions are irrelevant
1
@DanW-nk7sn and during that period of time eastern chunk of USSR was part of Germany. If Germany won - used would be part of Germany. That's how wars work. What's your point again?
1
@Nessy-of-the-Lynn you're focusing on pensions too much. My point was that if your country's existence solely relies on someone else in many spheres of life - it is dependent and is far from being sovereign. There's a reason why Boris Johnson ordered Ukraine to "just fight" and Zelensky agreed, there's a reason why Ukraine doesn't use western weapons inside Russia, there's a reason why Ukraine was forced to attack last summer to show results etc
1
Because they lost far less soldiers than your propaganda tells. Because Russia and Ukraine are the only countries that have experience against modern opponent. Because Russia outguns entire NATO, which even Biden admitted by saying that US is scrapping the barrel for artillery shells. And because now they have huge battle hardened army which uses drones as standard equipment. Russia should be number 1 indeed
1
Indeed. Imagine if Ukraine was following Minsk agreement or allowed water to flow in Crimea
1
@mattsapero1896 haven't you seen hundreds of videos of Ukrainian soldiers kidnapping men off streets to throw into military? Apparently it wasn't enough to replace their losses, so now they're talking about mobilizing women and extra 500k men to even attempt an offensive
1
@KevinPhillips_kw what changed? Ukraine received much less money than before their failed summer offensive, half of what they received is paid for weapons that haven't been made yet. And Ukraine still doesn't have enough soldiers to use those weapons, despite canceling people's passports abroad
1
@kkmiroslaw can you explain the math behind your statement? Russia has 10 times more artillery, 100 times more planes, 10 times more tanks and has a terrible advantage in fire power overall. Do you realise that in slow going conflicts fire power has a direct correlation with losses? Do you think there's a reason why Ukraine is admittedly running very low on losses, despite constantly mobilising more soldiers by kidnapping them off streets, canceling people's passports abroad and not allowing men to leave Ukraine legally? Do you think there's a reason why Russia can sustain their army with only volunteers for over a year since their only mobilization?
1
If your father fought against Nazis, why are you supporting people who call nazi collaborators "heroes of Ukraine"? Why do you support Zelensky who gave ovations to an old nazi who was introduced as a "Ukrainian who fought Russians in ww2" ?
1
@d0nr1coiii38 people of many nationalities collaborated with Nazis. But, to my knowledge, only Ukraine still calls their collaborators "heroes" and names streets in their "honour". Nobody blames modern Ukrainians for what a fraction of their grandfather's did. But Ukrainians are getting blamed for what they're doing right now. Even the phrase "Slava ukraini heroyam Slava" was invited and used by those collaborators, similarly to "heil *itler"
1
@p.bckman2997 nazism itself has nothing to do with jews. Ukrainians just prefer to blame everything on Russians and dehumanise them by calling them orcs (instead of rats for jews). Not sure why you would even say it. Considering that Zelensky still gave ovations to the person who killed jews before. And this killer accepted ovations from that Zelensky too.
1
@ocean_monster1 notice how pro Ukrainian NPCs call me a bot or a worker, but don't actually argue points of mine
1
@p.bckman2997 what does one have to do with another? That old nazi also accepted ovations from Zelensky, doesn't make him less of a nazi. What even is your point?
1
@AS-np3yq gaslighting much huh. SS Galichina division wouldn't agree with you. UPA wouldn't agree with you. Or do you think they slaughtered Jews, Russians and other Ukrainians just for fun?
1
@marcs990 "nonexistent nonsense" - it's funny that western media were pretty open about Ukrainian nazis until 2022 when they suddenly became the good guys. What do you think about Azov training camp for children where instructors have swastika tattoos on their necks? The Guardian made a nice video about it a couple years ago
1
Funny, how despite being a vegetable, he still managed to encircle Ukrainian army in Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka. If Gerasimov is a vegetable, who's Zaluzhny?
1
Spreading Ukrainian war propaganda for money isn't an achievement
1
@anthonywilson4873 is this why 100k people in Kherson decided to move to Russia when they were leaving the city?
1
So Russia fighting corruption is a good thing for Ukraine?
1
@ghostlightx9005 are you got brainwashed into believing that every arrest in Russia has something to do with Putin?
1
Russia doesn't do anything to a certain date, their officials stated it many times
1
As soon as Ukraine leaves alone Donbas, Crimea and other regions that don't want to be Ukrainian or have streets named after nazi collaborators
1
Everything you said is blatant Ukrainian war propaganda. How stupid you need to be to trust estimations of enemy casualties of any country ever?
1
@dritzzdarkwood4727 according to Mediazona, which uses ACTUAL data from cementeries and social media, unlike random propaganda, Russia lost 39k in entire war. For comparison, in 2011 28k people died in Russia in car crushes. Btw, how many do you think Ukraine has lost? Especially considering that they're planning to draft women and mobilize extra 500k men. Apparently kidnapping people off streets wasn't enough to replace their losses
1
Почему ты ещё не в окопе, воин?
1
It was Ukraine that started bombing their own civilians for disagreeing with kievan nazis who overthrew DEMOCRATICALLY elected government
1
@Wasted_Talent007 no, I'm having fun arguing with people. So how would you stop the war in Donbas and made Ukraine to destroy a dam? Btw Russia even tried to pay for that water, but Ukraine refused I'll join army if my country calls me, don't worry. Why aren't you volunteering in Ukraine?
1
@angrydoggy9170 no, Turchinov (main Ukrainian official at the time) announced "anti terrorist operation" against Donbas civilians BEFORE Russia sent their puppet Strelkov to lead the resistance because resistance ALREADY existed Dam was indeed destroyed by Russia after they invaded Ukraine in 2022. Maybe if Ukraine have done it themselves or haven't made it in the first place - there would be no war
1
There were no Ukrainians in Oleshky, Russian troops made a video near that bridge. And Ukrainians haven't "cleared" anything on those Islands because there were no Russian troops there because it's a death trap. Days ago Russia already posted video of blowing up Ukrainian troops there with aviation bombs "Accurately report any changes" - spreading Ukrainian war propaganda accurately doesn't mean that report on itself is accurate
1
@ImperialDiecast defensive lines aren't ment to keep soldiers all the time. What's the point in sending soldiers to sit in trench when enemies are nowhere near? Russia also made plenty of trenches on random crossroads and around small cities all over Zaporozhye and Kherson, do you think they should keep soldiers there for no reason too?
1
Russia lost less men in this war than they loose in car crushes per year. Plus they gained 2m refugees from Ukraine and captured multiple regions, they are fine. Unlike Ukraine which lost almost half it's population since 2014
1
Well, Russia indeed doesn't care about gaining or loosing ground if you haven't noticed. They built defensive lines like 15km away from Bahmut in Popasna and will fall back if they feel like it. I doubt that they will send thousands to slaughter in a cauldron for PR stunt like Ukraine did
1
What Ukrainian propagandists or politicians have children in the army? Denis also doesn't serve in Ukraine . Syrsky's son is pro Russian. Children of Klitschko live in USA
1
@CroydonKitty pretty much all of them advocated for bombardment of Donbas with cluster ammo since 2014 "Unprovoked" - what Ukraine should have done for you to say "yeah, Russia has valid reasons to invade them" ? Because Ukraine dammed river to Crimea to deliberately starve 2 million people, killed people near Russian borders, Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich Conference and lied about Minsk agreements (Merkel Holland and Poroshenko all admitted that Minsk agreements were made only to arm Ukraine for war against Russia). Sounds like a lot of valid reasons to me
1
@CroydonKitty pretty much all of them advocated for bombardment of Donbas with cluster ammo since 2014 And yes, no-one has a right to promote war while sitting thousands of km away from death and dirt. "Unprovoked" - what Ukraine should have done for you to say "yeah, Russia has valid reasons to invade them" ? Because Ukraine dammed river to Crimea to deliberately starve 2 million people, killed people near Russian borders, Zelensky threatened to build nukes on Munich Conference and lied about Minsk agreements (Merkel Holland and Poroshenko all admitted that Minsk agreements were made only to arm Ukraine for war against Russia). Sounds like a lot of valid reasons to me.
1
@mombaassa 1) Denis also promotes the war while sitting in safety 2) He can come back any time, be a drone operator, continue his blog in a different format. Instead he avoids conscription. "And still not conscripted" - only 0.2% of Russians got conscripted. And only people who served in the military before. People with good education don't serve in the military either.
1
Indeed, it's almost impossible to convince western NPCs that Ukraine is full of nazis and that there are no good guys in this conflict
1
By "Russian freedom fighters" you mean nazis from White Rex organisation? And by "doubt they will get to Moscow" you mean that they sacrificed equipment and lives for random PR stunt again?
1
Just like 70% of Ukrainians were totally with with bombing civilians of Donbas all those years. Do you think Ukrainians are also crazy?
1
@jettser17UK since when killing civilians because they want to be free is self defense? What "nazi style"? How exactly Russian actions in Ukraine differ from American actions in Syria? And how is it enslavement if those regions wanted to join Russia for almost a decade?
1
Those few soldiers who landed on one of those islands are already blown up by 500kg bombs, Russia posted a video already. And they also posted videos of Russian soldiers on their bank of the river who stated that there are no Ukrainians there and no certainty no bridgehead Ukraine already did those suicide missions multiple times since Russia left Kherson and achieved nothing So it's mode like: Every sane person - You can't establish a bridgehead with 10 guys Ukrainian supporters - hold my extra chromosome
1
@argellaguardia9390 it's not Russia that wants to mobilize women and begs EU to return anyone who managed to escape mobilization
1
@nicolaasstempels8207 how? The Ukrainian offensive showed that they can't retake those regions. Western support is also dwindling, less and less people care about Ukraine every month. Or do you really believe that Ukraine will send their soldiers to fight with sticks, as Zelensky said? How many Ukrainians are you willing to sacrifice to retake Crimea?
1
@scottessery100 evidence for what? War propaganda about enemy losses is the most obvious and standard thing imaginable and only an idiot can believe it
1
According 6o BBC sponsored Mediazona, which uses ACTUAL data from cementeries and social media, Russia lost 40k troops in entire war. And considering that all Russian men went through at least one year of training when they turned 18 and received months of extra training during mobilization - they're still infinitely better trained than Ukrainians. Do you think there's a reason why Russia had only one mobilization wave a year ago and easily expanding army with only volunteers, while Zaluzhny is crying for extra half a million men, despite Ukrainian militia kidnapping men off streets to throw into military for over a year now?
1
@ianobrien3248 well, Mediazona has actual data, while Ukraine doesn't have anything to back up thdir ridiculous claims Btw, who do you think is losing more soldiers? Considering that Russia has huge advantage in artillery, tanks, aviation, bombs, rockets and even now drones. And considering that Russia encircled Mariupol Lysychansk Severodonetsk Bahmut and Avdiivka, while Ukraine never encircled Russia
1
@castheeuwes1085 47k is estimation and based on number of average deaths of men below 50. But every year those numbers are different, so it doesn't necessarily means anything Right now, Russia lost 40k dead including Wagner, other PMCs and prisoners and it's based in ACTUAL data. Obviously there's a time lag since people who died few days or weeks ago most likely weren't recognised as dead due to bureaucrasy
1
@Bjowolf2 is this why Ukraine constantly cries for more equipment? If Russia doesn't have advantage in equipment - why can't Ukraine keep pushing Russia? Why their summer offensive failed? Western media even admit that Russia now has 7 to 1 drone advantage And yeah, Russia never had manpower advantage. Kinda impossible to have while Russia was replacing losses and growing their army with only volunteers for the last year, while Ukranian militia was kidnapping people off streets to throw into military for the last year
1
@chucklesthered2338 no, in 2023 Russia gained more land than Ukraine, despite Ukrainian grand offensive that even had a trailer. Russia only lost ground in 2022 because they were to slow to mobilize troops. Since then Ukraine haven't achieved anything on the battlefield
1
@Bjowolf2 do you realize that exaggerating enemy losses is standard war propaganda and only an idiot can believe it, right? Even if you want to believe that Russia is losing a lot more than Ukraine, you have to have some braincells to understand that Russia terribly outguns Ukraine and therefore killing a lot more Ukrainian soldiers than losing Russian economy is growing, western media admit that that Russian military industry outproduce entire NATO when it comes to drones, artillery shells, tanks and rockets Also there are plenty of interviews of Ukrainian soldiers who's admitting that today Russian army is far stronger than before. Partially because Russia now uses 7 times more drones than Ukraine (according to New York Times). If Russian army got weaker - why exactly Ukraine haven't achieved anything in 2023, but was able to retake big chunks of land in 2022? Despite Ukranian militia kidnapping men off streets to throw into military
1
@Patrik6920 oh, I'm sorry for challenging propaganda you're consuming with actual data and western media. You can keep being brainwashed, relax and don't look at comments
1
@castheeuwes1085 my apologies, 40599. Are you autistic or something? Btw, how many do you think Ukraine is losing considering huge Russian advantage in artillery, aviation, drones, rockets, bombs, tanks and training?
1
@castheeuwes1085 Mediazona counted 40599 soldiers. Are you confused or something?
1
@ytzpilot "that's exactly what's happening" - how do you know? You heard it from some super biased sources like this ytber? Are you subbed on some pro Russian tg channels to make sure that you aren't living in propaganda bubble? I don't care if you're brainwashed, but what's the point of denying it?
1
@SEIGE381 well, you already wasted your time explaining why you can't explain something, you had patience for it But it is indeed impossible to determine amount of wounded. There's no reliable data for amount of sold wheelchairs, hospitals capacity, sold wooden pirtate legs or whatever. Do you have reliable way to calculate Ukrainian losses? Well, outside of Zelensky saying "we lose 200 soldiers dead per day"
1
@castheeuwes1085 well, obviously there's a time lag and people who died recently haven't been identified as dead yet. So you can safely add few percents to Mediazona data But believing blatant Ukrainian war propaganda about Russian casualties is retarded
1
That's how peace offering work when you're winning
1
@gaetanhillion8342 considering that Ukraine can't even replace their losses despite kidnapping people off streets, while their inconsistent NATO allies are getting outproduced by Russia - yeah, Russia got them by the balls
1
@Aughtel when was he losing? Ukraine had net loss of land every year and always had far more losses than Russia because Russia always outgunned Ukraine. What's winning looks like in your eyes?
1
@andyhurrell Russia captures more land every day, outproduces entire NATO and has far less losses than Ukraine. What's that if not winning ?
1
@petefrys545 520k according to who? Obvious and blatant war propaganda? According to mediazona, which uses actual data from cemeteries and social media, Russia lost 55k soldiers in the entire war including PMCs and prisoners. How many do you think Ukraine has lost, considering that they can't even replace their losses despite kidnapping people off streets? 2 steps forward 1 step back - is still a step forward. At the end of 2022 Russia had more land than at the end of 2021, at the end of 2023 - Russia had more than at the end of 2022. And at the end of 2024 Russia will most likely have more land than at the end of 2023. Notice how you mentioned 2022 Ukrainian offensive because it's the only one that was successful. And the only reason why it was successful is because Russia had little troops to guard the frontline. Since Russian mobilization Ukraine did nothing of value and haven't captured a single city I understand that you're supporting Ukraine, but why do you want Ukrainian men to die in mass while slowly losing ground instead of negotiating peace
1
@Aughtel "the price paid for a mile" - the price is high indeed. But paying the price and taking that mile is better than paying a higher price and still losing that mile. Ukraine defends pretty well indeed, but they physically can't attack because Russia outguns them. We all saw summer offensive and I don't see how Ukraine can be in a stronger position in the future.
1
@Aethelos what "amassing support" Ukraine received less equipment this year than in previous years Ukraine could strike Russian land with their own equipment from the start of the war. And giving Ukraine the ability to strike inside Russia with western weapons also isn't a war winning capability, since Russia can hit targets anywhere in Ukraine I am talking in bad faith because I don't have faith in Ukraine winning this war on the battlefield because Russia outguns them greatly, while NATO doesn't care about Ukraine enough to go to war economy
1
@_alienblood You need to learn how to read articles in their entirety instead of just headlines Czechia hasn't given Ukraine 2 million shells, there are 2 million shells that exist in the world, which theoretically can be given to Ukraine. This year Czechia managed to send 180k shells, which is enough to be on par with Russia for 2 weeks USA didn't give 60 billion dollars to Ukraine, they gave them 13 billion. It's less than in 2022 or 2023. And we all remember how summer offensive played out "Stopped Russia in the north" - you have no clue about Russian plans. Some people say that they will attack in Sumi, some say that they will attack in Zaporozhye 50 billion is a loan to keep their economy together because Ukraine has 43b deficit because their government earned only 48b in total. Ukraine isn't getting stronger in any way, they're just kept afloat by loans, which they can't pay. For comparison in ww2 USA gave equivalent of 60b modern dollars to UK. While Russia is increasing production of military equipment, gaining more and more ground, while terribly outgunning Ukraine
1
How many Ukrainians are you willing to sacrifice to recapture regions that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway?
1
@paullangford8179 or the fact that according to Budapest memorandum Ukraine should have been neutral, but became NATO puppet in 2014
1
@chandelier6811 no, pro western billionaires came to power with the help of violent nazis from Right Sector overthrowing DEMOCRATICALLY elected Yanukovich
1
@yomanyo327 Ukrainians haven't ruled anything since thousand years ago Knyaz of Russian city Novgorod captured Kiev and called his country Kievan Rus'. And yeah, Moscow is relatively young capital, before Moscow capitals were San Petersburg, Vladimir, Novgorod and Ladoga
1
@6666lupita I'm curious, if tomorrow Texas declares independence and Mexica starts bombing them (like Ukraine was bombing Donbas) - would US step in and help Texas? Or will Americans say "oh, Texas is a different country with different people, we shouldn't care about them" ? So why shouldn't have Russia cared about Donbas and invade Ukraine ?
1
Sons of Klitschko also run away from Ukraine. But Peskov's son was a Wagner member and helped to take Bahmut
1
@michaelmadsen3696 no, he was an artillery crew member and was too busy evaporating Ukrainians soldiers
1
@mombaassa Ukrainian militia literally snatches men off streets to throw into the military and Klichko is ok with it since he's the mayor of Kiev. Sending someone to die is far worse than just calling people names. Also, being gay isn't a crime in Russia Only 60% of Russian men served in the army, it's not that uncommon to have flat fleet, bad back, bad vision, studying in a good university, getting further education, being gay, having mental illnesses etc etc. Is there a reason why you think his sons should have been conscripted?
1
@mombaassa if you're avoiding conscription and a policeman finds out about it - the court will decide your fate. But indeed, no one is getting snatched off streets to be thrown into the military "Why his sons should have been conscripted" - "I never said that they should not be conscripted". Reading isn't your strongest side huh I don't feel a need to find his speech about Ukrainians who avoid the conscription because he's the head of the city where Ukrainians are getting snatched off streets in a country, which they can't even leave. Actions speak louder than words I said that being gay isn't a crime. And it isn't. But nobody wants anyone promoting homosexuality. Personal life should remain personal
1
@marijo1951 no, there are plenty of videos of Ukrainian artillery hitting center of Belgorod. Not some rocket engine or rocket on fire falling on people, like it was in Ukraine. Ukraine deliberately tried to kill civilians like they did with Donetsk since 2014
1
@petefrys545 it's not a reason to use inaccurate grad rockets on Donetsk because it's impossible to hit a certain target with it
1
You can join Ukrainian army at any point, you just don't have the balls to do it. But for some reason you're ok with sending someone else to die for you
1
You don't need a brain to let your troops get encircled constantly in Mariupol Lysichansk Severodonetsk Bahmut Krinky and Avdeevka. So what's so amazing about him? But only an idiot wouldn't blame parliament for doing nothing
1
It's funny that people who support the war are always sitting on their chairs far away from war
1
@baronvonlimbourgh1716 why do you think that you're right and they're wrong? Majority of pro Ukrainian NPCs couldn't even find Ukraine on the map before 2022, there are very few Ukrainian supporters that can explain their opinion without using some western propaganda as a source
1
Russia can sustain their army with volunteers, while Ukraine has to kidnap people off streets to throw into the military and even this isn't enough, so they want to mobilize 500k troops. Apparently Russian morale is much higher
1
What do you smell from Ukrainian diapers after they banned all men from leaving Ukraine and started snatching them off streets?
1
Russia is a pretty self sustaining country, not sure what you are on about. Do you realise that if bombing enemy industries could win wars, then Russia would win much faster because they have far more rockets, right?
1
@waynejohnson9135 are you denying that a number 1 exporter of grain and a country with largest amount of resources is self sufficient? Are you denying that Russia has more rockets and bombs than Ukraine? No? Then why are you upset about my comment?
1
@spinecat where are you from? We can compare your country to Russia in terms of food, fuel and resource export and import. Considering that Russia is one of like 15 countries that export oil, Russia is more self sufficient than 95% of countries
1
@gabrielesimionato1210 No, Russia is number one exporter of grain, Ukraine is in top 5
1
@suoquainen Yeah, but Ukraine can't theoretically bomb Russia more than Russia can bomb Ukraine.
1
@roelwillems.6014 is this why Russia is outproducing entire NATO?
1
You can't be part of civilized world and support Ukrainian Nazis at the same time
1
Well, Ukraine does have heavy equipment in civilian area and planes anti air systems inside towns, like this destroyed patriot recently. And one rocket of this patriot did failed and dropped down. Plus we can't forget about those 2 Polish farmers. Or the fact that Ukraine using civilian infrastructure as military bases, training camps or ammo depots, which even amnesty international admitted
1
@UserUser-ww2nj was the fighting inside the city? And how do you know where nearest soldiers were? Maybe they were 100-200 meters away from you? Because mortar is very inaccurate thing and needs correction
1
@UserUser-ww2nj but you can't know that there wasn't any Ukrainian soldiers with mortar hundred meters away from you that Russians tried to hit and missed
1
@UserUser-ww2nj again, how do you know that Ukrainian units weren't firing mortars from behind nearest grocery store? I'm not talking about tanks or artillery that can be heard from miles away. But random military vehicles, mortar crews, supply trucks, ammo depots in some shed and even military bases in schools can exist without you noticing. Obviously it's horrible that Russians fired inaccurate mortar shells in civilian areas, but it doesn't mean that they were trying to hurt civilians
1
@phester28 they can defend whatever they want and they can try to recapture regions, that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway, too. But it doesn't mean that they should endanger civilians Again, would you blame cop, who would use your wife as a human shield against shooter, for her death? Do you also think that cop has right to defend himself against shooter? Probably yes, but not with your wife's body
1
@fahqkitty maybe if Ukraine wasn't bombing Donbas civilians for 8 years despite Minsk agreement and haven't been responsible for 80% of civilian casualties according to UN - Russia wouldn't have had to invade. Even crazier thought And yeah, Ukraine isn't sovereign. Since 2014 their existence solely relying on NATO money
1
@Svitjod1 empty fields in greyzone at extremely high costs. I never said that Ukraine isn't gaining ground, I said that calling it's a "race to the border" is retarded. What a smart little debunker you are
1
According to mediazona, which uses actual data from cemeteries and social media, unlike random propaganda, Russia lost 54k dead in entire war including PMCs and prisoners.
1
@heathermccall8015 kinda noisy everywhere in Ukraine every day. Thankfully Ukrainian men are sitting in homes to avoid getting kidnapped by militia, so they're safe from all those explosions.
1
@TimD-ny6ks are you lying on purpose or just spreading propaganda? Russia doesn't print documents and send them all over the country. Random clerks printing documents at their offices. So it's physically impossible to know how many documents are made in Russia Btw, according to mediazona which uses actual data from cemeteries and social media, unlike random propaganda, Russia lost 54k dead in entire war including PMCs and prisoners. Do you realise that Russia is losing much less soldiers than Ukraine due to its huge advantage in fire power, right ?
1
@ravinraven6913 it's not a fact, but an obvious war propaganda. If it was even remotely true - Russia wouldn't be able to grow their army with only volunteers for almost 2 years, they wouldn't have an army at this point, Ukraine would outnumber Russia greatly and Russia wouldn't be able to be on the attack for over half a year How many do you think Ukraine has lost, considering the huge Russian advantage in fire power? Do you realise that advantage in aviation, tanks, artillery and even drones now has direct correlation with losses?
1
According to Budapest memorandum Ukraine had to remain independent. Ukraine lost it's sovereignity in 2014 Also Ukraine never had their own nukes. Those were Russian nukes with launch codes in Moscow. So if this agreement wasn't signed - Ukraine would just spend money for maintenance or to destroy them
1
@petefrys545 they weren't sovereign since Nuland was giving away cookies and talking about who can or cannot be allowed to be in Ukrainian government Russia hasn't invaded Ukraine in 2014, but helped local rebels a bit
1
@petefrys545 those 4k troops were always in military base in Crimea. And they started acting after local parliament called new Ukrainian government "illegitimate" You can't be sovereign or independent when your economy and army relies on someone else to exist. Last year Zelensky even said that without western money Ukraine won't be able to pay pensions and 10m Ukrainians will starve to death. That's a definition of dependence
1
@robertscott961 "Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (in accordance with the principles of the CSCE" - literally the first point of the memorandum
1
@robertscott961 where does it say "become dependent"?
1
Why? NATO never fought anyone stronger than goat farmers. Even rice farmers in Vietnam defeated them According to Putin and Ukrainian officials - Russia has 350-450k soldiers inside Ukraine. Out of 1.3 million active troops Russia has in total. What are you on about?
1
@level7041 Strongest NATO country was in Vietnam, good enough for me. Are you implying that US alone is too weak to defeat rice farmers? What credibility? You can Google anything I said and find the truth for yourself. Well, instead of listening to me or to pro Ukrainian propaganda
1
@TimD-ny6ks not a single NATO country ever fought a modern opponent. Doesn't matter how well trained french legion is, they're not battle hardened because they have never fought against anyone stronger than goat farmers.
1
@level7041 there are only 2 countries who knows how to fight in modern war, one of them is Russia, other one isn't part of NATO Falklands is a 2 month conflict with a few hundred casualties. It's a stretch to call it a war. But I'll give you that, NATO country did fight a modern opponent 40 years ago
1
@level7041 there are 2 countries that have experience in modern warfare, one of them is Russia, other one isn't in NATO. How do you measure how modern some country is? It's a stretch to call a small conflict with a few hundred casualties a war. But I'll give you that, NATO country had experience against modern opponent 40 years ago
1
So you're admitting that Ukraine blew up that dam because they are the only ones who benefit from it?
1
What do you mean by "win quickly"? They afe terribly outgunned in tanks, aircraft and artillery. And even if they just use human wave tactics like in kherson and push Russia to their borders - what's gonna happen next? Russia will give up? They don't care where the frontline is, their goal of "denazification and demillitarisation" (aka kill as many ukrainian troops as possible) has nothing to do with line of frontline
1
How so? There are 40k volunteers in Russia every month and Russia barely losing soldiers. Of course they have tons of reserves
1
Lol what. Ukraine wanted to reach Crimea last year and only managed to capture 1% or Zaporozhye. Are you sure Russians aren't afraid of losing Moscow to Vladivostok ?
1
 @larsesilen is he wrong?
1
@reluctantheist5224 if Ukraine can't hold the land inside Ukraine -they definitely can't hold the land inside Russia, so what's the point? Especially since Russia is advancing 400km² every month
1
@reneblom2160 you forgot to mention that according to Budapest memorandum Ukraine should have remained sovereign and independent, but they lost sovereignty in 2014 coup
1
@Bakes-z4c Ukraine can do what it wants and Russia can use their army the way they want too
1
Only an idiot would believe war propaganda about enemy casualties
1
@neilbadger4262 it's impossible to know amount of wounded and no-one should trust estimations of enemy casualties in general since it's basic propaganda
1
@obstreperous1113 as you said - anti Russian population left those regions. So currently Ukraine wants to take territory that doesn't want to be part of Ukraine anymore and replace it's population with pro Ukrainian people, while killing everyone who disagrees. It's a definition of imperialism. Doesn't matter who recognised their old borders - people who live there don't care about opinions of world leaders on other side if the globe. I'm curious, if world was a bit slow to recognise post USSR countries - would you be ok with Russia invading them and restoring "internationally recognised borders" of USSR against their will? "They know where real border is" - by that logic in 2014 instead of overthrowing DEMOCRATICALLY elected government they could have moved to EU. And even now - if they don't want to rule under someone's rule - they can move to EU I understand why Ukrainian soldiers would be happy to defend Kiev for example, i but wouldn't want to attack regions that want to escape my government and i would find such attack immoral indeed Btw, if you google any Ukrainian elections before 2014 - you will see that entire Eastern half of Ukraine was always voting for pro Russian candidates, while Donbas Lugansk and Crimea voted for them overwhelmingly. Obviously they didn't liked results of kievan coup and started fighting and seeking Russian help
1
@TheEDFLegacy same argument can be applied to Western Ukrainian and kievan coup. If they wanted to join EU so much - they could have left Ukraine instead of overthrowing DEMOCRATICALLY elected government Population of Donbas indeed asked for referendum, but Ukraine said no and kept bombing them What exactly do you mean by "grossly inflated"? In 90s they indeed wanted independence, but after their elected president was overthrown by pro nazi billionaires - they wanted nothing to do with Ukraine Who said that certain borders shouldn't change? Do you think Israel should return land to Palestine? Or maybe you think that Taiwan should be Chinese or be destroyed? I think that population of certain region should be able to decide their faith
1
@Tespri Iraq had no air defences capable of hitting American planes, no trees to hide soldiers, no soft dirt to dig trenches, no will to fight, almost no high-rise buildings, far less settlements and tanks with no thermals whatsoever. You can't compare Iraq to Ukraine in any way shape or form. Btw, if USA is so strong - why did they lost in Vietnam? And when it comes to Ukraine - they had second best air defence systems in the world, as many tanks as entire EU, biggest army in EU by far, prepared defences, loads of drones, NATO training since 2015 and experience against modern opponent. Why are you acting like Ukraine is weak, considering that even Germany admitted to have artillery ammo for a few days of war What piece of NATO equipment doesn't have equal or superior Russian analogue? The only thing NATO is superior than Russia is air force and this war has shown that even if you have 100 times more planes than your opponent - their use is very limited if your opponent has modern air defence systems. So what exactly NATO can do against Russia, considering that NATO doesn't have ammo, their planes are border line useless and since they haven't fought against anyone stronger than goat farmers since Korean war, which was also a statement btw
1
@Piccyman1 where exactly am I wrong? Even Biden himself said that USA doesn't have artillery ammo to send to Ukraine. Do you think there's a reason why they stopped publishing numbers of supplied shells? Do you think there's a reason why Ukrainian soldiers whine about lack of ammo all the time?
1
@Alphamind123 Russian navy would be gone, but I assumed we were talking about NATO vs Russia on Ukrainian territory and not crossing each others borders In this case - air force showed very limited use against modern anti air systems. Do you think in Vietnam USA used their air force properly? Back then they lost 10k planes and helicopters, today for both sides such losses are unsustainable. So it is possible to fly inside enemy territory and lose thousands of planes and pilots, but using rockets is a lot more effective. And if Russia haven't bombed Ukraine into submission with rockets - why do you think that NATO will be able to do that to Russia? In frontline war, it's safe to say that NATO soldiers are far better trained, but they have no experience against modern opponent and drones
1
Russia does help starving people of the world and sends plenty of ships with grain for free everywhere And how exactly Russian actions in Ukraine differ from NATO actions in Serbia?
1
Russia had no issue with falling back from Kherson, why would they send thousands to die in a cauldron for PR stunt like Ukraine did?
1
@michaelrussell6661 you haven't answered. Where are you from? Why are you ashamed of telling?
1
@michaelrussell6661 ok, just tell me if your country is a member of NATO Or you can tell me if you also think that people from NATO countries don't deserve to be treated as humans because they invade half of middle east and bombing Syria as we speak Or you can tell if you supported any of those invaded by NATO middle eastern countries. For example said "go, Syria, go, kick American invaders out of your country" or sent money to them
1
Or Ukraine can give up and let go of regions that don't want to be Ukrainian anyway What "kidnapped Ukrainians"? People who willingly agreed to be evacuated by Russia from war zone? Do hou think it's better to act like Ukraine: hide behind civilians (which even amnesty international admitted) and whine when Russia fires at Ukrainian soldiers inside residential areas?
1
Wanna volunteer? Or do you prefer to sacrifice other people?
1
Russia doesn't target civilians. Are you confusing Ukrainian AA rockets falling on people with Russian rockets hitting civilians on purpose? Did Ukraine apologized to Poland for killing those farmers?
1
Do you think Zelensky miscalculated when he said that and caused 10 million Ukrainians leaving the country and hundreds of thousands deaths on top of ruined economy and a huge debt?
1
@mariadorosariodaraujofaria7705 You don't been much courage to send other people to die for your ambitions
1
@lostlogic6911 "would have been" - how do you know? In 2008 Georgia was bombing South Ossetia, Russia stepped in, South Ossetia became free, there was no war since then, Georgia remained sovereign and independent and nothing bad happened So why do you think it would have been different in Ukraine?
1
@lostlogic6911 haven't found anything that Girkin said about Georgia. What are you referring to? And what Girkin has to do with Georgia in the first place, considering that we are talking about the outcome of giving up. Georgia is still a free country and it's been peaceful since 2008. So why do you think that situation in Ukraine "would have been worse" ? What random famine a hundred years ago has to do with anything? Do you realise that there was a famine near Moscow in 1920s too?
1
@leneanderthalien Where am I wrong exactly?
1
@lostlogic6911 except that Georgia was bombing South Ossetia from time to time since 1991. Not sure how a few spies can russify entire regions and what do you mean by this, considering that locals are Ossetians, not Russians "Becoming more pro Russian in 2014" - entire eastern half of Ukraine was always voting for pro Russian candidates, you can Google any Ukrainian elections before 2014. "Famine under whose control" - Stalin's control, he's Georgian. Famine near Moscow in 1920s was also under Stalin's control. So? Georgia bad? And what all of this has to do with the original topic of "Ukraine would be in a worse state if they gave up on a few regions"? Let's assume that Russia "russified" Ossetians and is 100% responsible for everything in the region. So? Georgia is a peaceful country now, nothing bad happened since Georgia let go of south Ossetia. And despite having no foreign aid - it's still a pretty good country to live in with one of the lowest corruption rates. What's the downside?
1
@Bakes-z4c yeah, people can leave Russia if they want to, unlike Ukrainian men
1
@lostlogic6911 "has not materialised in reality", "why are people protest" - what one has to do with another? Again. My original comment is about Ukraine drowning in debt and losing 20 million people to immigration and war. You said that if Ukraine gave up it would be much worse. I gave you an example of Georgia, which gave up on South Ossetia and was able to keep living a normal life without any issues. And now you're talking about protests. Are you implying that protests are worse than the neverending war, huge debt and immigration of the population? And since when having protests is a bad thing?
1
@lostlogic6911 if the similar case with Georgia (country on a Russian border bombs their regions into submission, then gets invaded by Russia) is "mudding the discussion", then why do you think that situation in Ukraine would be 10 times worse if Ukraine gave up on a few regions that don't want to be part of Ukraine anyway? You haven't asked any questions about 1930s famine or Russian spies, so I'm not sure what you want me to say. Famines accrued in all countries and all countries have spies. All countries were mismanaged and all countries keep track of what's going on in their sphere of influence. Soooo, why do you think Ukraine giving up in a few rebel regions will be 10 times worse than the exodus of the population, huge debt and neverending war? Especially when we have a similar case in Georgia
1
@lostlogic6911 "being under Russian rules is 10 times worse than fighting them" - that's a statement based on nothing, especially since Ukraine is much poorer than Russia "Giving up regions will make Russia take more" - no. We have two cases. Georgia giving up, stopping the war and living a peaceful life for 16 years already. And Ukraine keeps bombing the Donbas, damming the river to Crimea to deliberately starve 2 million people and Zelensky threatening to build nukes in the Munich conference leading to the Russian invasion. See the pattern? Putin hasn't invaded a single country that wasn't bombing civilians at Russian borders and never invaded a single country again if it stopped bombing civilians.
1
@lostlogic6911 so you "debunked" my statement "nothing bad happened to Georgia after they gave up on South Ossetia" by telling me that protests exist in Georgia? There are protests from time to time in USA or any European country. What does it have to do with anything? We are talking about war, debt and exodus of population "10 times worse if a country gives up against Russia" You can Google "north Crimean water canal" plenty of western media reported on Ukraine damming the water source to Crimea. Just because you don't know about something - doesn't mean it never happened
1
@lostlogic6911 Russia is much richer than Ukraine, in Russia every region is allowed to learn their native language in schools and celebrate native holidays. While Ukraine banned all of that since 2014. Which pissed off eastern half of Ukraine, which is the reason why they started fighting against Kiev "It's not peaceful, it has protests" - so by your logic the USA isn't peaceful, France isn't peaceful, no country with allowed protests is peaceful and Switzerland was the most warmongering country on earth during 2019 women strikes. Are you acting dumb on purpose? Almost every country on earth establishes the right to protest the government. Georgia isn't involved in any war, it doesn't bomb anyone, Russia hasn't invaded them since 2008, didn't do anything bad to them, haven't tried to grab land or force their policies upon Georgia. So, what's the downside for giving up to Russia? I don't care what Prigozhin or Girkin said. According to UN - 80% of civilian casualties were on rebel controlled territory, there are dozens of videos of random grad pockets hammering the city in random places with no military insight. And just because some region of yours has spies - it doesn't mean that you should bomb it. Sending spies in different countries is a standard thing to do, which has nothing to do with wars
1
I mean, Zelensky was totally ok with sacrificing thousands in Mariupol, Lysichansk, Severodonetsk, Bahmut and Krynki for PR stunts. Zelensky was also totally ok with getting orders from Boris Johnson to actually fight super power at its borders instead of negotiating. His actions speak louder than words
1
I mean, Russia built defenses and obviously wanted to repel Ukrainian counter offensive. They did it very successfully. So successfully that now Ukrainian parliament wants to mobilize women and extra 500k soldiers to even attempt another offensive
1
@natalieturko4808 Ukraine has grad rocket launchers, which also use cluster rockets. So Ukraine had and used them since the start of the war
1
@k.k356 Russia was in bucha and was shelled by Ukraine. Are you trying to prove that Ukraine uses cluster ammo on civilian cities? Pro Ukrainian NPC will call you a bot soon
1
@thorn6809 it was failed Ukrainian tochka u rocket btw, Russia doesn't use them
1
Такое бывает, когда работаешь на врагов и радуешься смерти своих соотечественников, включая своего друга. Не представляю, каким идиотом надо быть, чтобы променять семью и отечество на зарубежные деньги
1
@adminatjayjay1535 Путин тоже мой враг, как и большинство людей а правительстве. Но Путин не скакал с криками "кто не скачет, тот москаль" и "москоляку на гиляку". Он меня орком не называл, не радовался гибели мирных жителей и пытался договориться с 14 года. Он не говорил, что убийство русских (или украинцев) это хорошее вложение денег, в отличие от Линдси Грэма. Твою ненависть к России я понимаю, а вот ненависть толерантного запада - нет. Как не понимаю и двойных стандартов с их стороны. В начале войны я даже митинговал, ночь в СИЗО провел и штраф а 10к заплатил. Но почитав комментарии и санкции мнение на 180° изменилось. Не из-за ящика или Путина, а вот из-за таких как этот тип и тому подобные создания на Ютьюбе, что желают России зла. Никакой Соловьев не смог бы заставить меня презирать запад и верхушку Украины, как их раскрытые рты Слушай, а тебе самому не противно как Украину запад использует? Оружия дают мало, каждый раз приходится клянчить, а потом ещё и ограничения на удары накладывают, победы не желают вам от слова совсем. Путин хочет пророссийский кусок Украины отжать и мир подписать хоть завтра, а запад хочет 80% Украины на мясо пустить лишь бы русских поубивать.
1
I mean, Russia advances everywhere and still outproduces the entire NATO. Sounds pretty good to me
1
Just like you can't believe any propaganda, including pro Ukrainian one But even Ukrainian mod haven't denied existence of POWs on that plane
1
Russia already posted a video with blowing them up. Doing some big offensive by sending 10 guys over and over to a certain death is retarded There's a reason why D day is a day and Americans weren't sending small squads of soldiers for half a year to accomplish nothing but exchanging soldiers lifes for German bullets and PR stunt
1
One brilliant mind decided to send his own country into the stone age by fighting superpower at the Ukrainian border, while other brilliant mind sacrificed thousands for PR stunts in Krinky, Bahmut and Mariupol
1
Considering that Russian goal is to destroy Ukrainian army (demillitarisation) and that currently Ukraine is suicide rushing Russian defenses across a minefield against overwhelming quantities of artillery and aviation - yes, things are great for Russia. Especially since they were ready for a long war of attrition, while NATO wasn't
1
Are you praying that Ukraine will enslave their former regions and their population that wants to be free from Ukraine? Why are you calling Russia evacuating kids and thousands of grown ups "kidnapping"? Would you prefer if Russia also used civilians as human shields just like Ukraine, which even amnesty international admitted?
1
@emm_arr so is there a single video of some mother screaming "don't take away my son"? Is there any evidence that evacuation was forced? Because that's the difference between evacuation and kidnapping - if it was done against someone's will or no. Just because you want to call it kidnapping - doesn't make it one So you can't deny Ukraine using civilians as human shields, got it
1
@emm_arr I haven't claimed that there's no videos with heartbroken mothers. I asked you if you saw them. Surely many people would film such horrible Russian deed from every window. Sooooo, use your brain time to time
1
Indeed, Putin is too soft on Ukraine
1
@daniellarson3068 same goes for Ukraine. They could have stopped bombing Donbas for almost a decade now or end this war at any day, but Zelensky decided to loose 30%.of GDP, while Ukraine lost half of it's population since 2014 due to immigration, war and occupied territory. If Putin is bad for Russia for wasting money on war - Zelensky is devil himself I guess
1
@stephenthomas3085 it's called reality my guy
1
@brgetruelsen868 1000 according to who? Ukraine war propaganda? Why would anyone believe estimations of enemy losses during any war?

"this far" - lol, half of Ukrainians since 2014 left the country, Ukraine is in ruins and in huge debt, he also sacrificed hundreds of thousands in unwinnable war because he listened to Boris Johnson's orders. Doesn't look like a good leader to me

Russia already posted video of blowing up whoever crossed the river with 500kg bombs and a video of Russian soldiers standing on their part of the Dnepr and confirming that no-one actually crossed the river Also Ukraine was doing such operations time to time since Russia left Kherson. Have you forgotten many videos of ukrainian propagandists with titles like "Ukraine pushed across Dnepr, Russia is doomed" or whatever?

Do you realized that western countries are also brainwashed? Some people actually believe that it wasn't America who blew up Nord Stream, despite Biden literally saying "if Russia invaded I'll put an end to Nord Stream" before invasion

@thejoe9065 do you realize that if someone has different opinion than you - it doesn't mean that they're stupid, right? Have you ever considered you being in the wrong? Because believing in superiority of your own intellect is retarded

 @Comm.DavidPorter do you think it's also immoral that democrats refuse to help Ukraine and prioritize getting more illegal immigrants in US?

@OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy if someone uses a plane - they won't smuggle drugs or guns, government will also know their name, looks, ID and everything they need to find certain person of they commit a crime. That's why simply walking through the border is much worse If 5 million illegal immigrants per year with drugs and weapons will start using Canadian border - sure, build another wall But it wasn't the point. What's more important for democrats, to help Ukraine or to not spend money on the wall, even if it's useless in your opinion? If you had a choice between "we build the wall and hope Ukraine" or "we aren't doing anything" - what would you choose? If option one - why are you only blaming republicans?

Putin or any Russian official never said anything about 3 days or about taking any city in any certain amount of days. You're listening to too much western propaganda Btw, in few weeks Russia captured equivalent of UK in terms of territory
