and now the truth.....Fallujah took a month and a half to take, urban fighting is slow and grinding. it has NOTHING to do with low numbers on the Russian side.

and now the truth.....Ukrainian forces were not ordered to retreat. Ukrainian forces fled in panic. when will DW investigate rather than repeat Ukrainian officials' posts

and now the truth....Ukraine hasn't had a counter offensive that was successful since 2014! Russia has won and Russia has no need to negotiate a thing. it's over.

@MLVL312 No, Russia is isolated only from YOUR world, that tiny inward-looking bubble known to the rest of the globe as the deluded Collective West, Latin America, Africa, Middle East and Asia are fine with Russia, want to trade with Russia, even want to support Russia break sanctions and break the Western hegemony of petrodollars and SWIFT payments etc. Only your little bubble has tried, and miserably failed, to isolate Russia. Start listening to the REAL world out there!

and now the truth....the morale of the Ukrainian cannon fodder is lower than Boris Johnson's credibility, that low

@lordraydens Russia won in Moldova, in Georgia, in Chechnya (twice) and they will win in Ukraine. Yes, all those places mentioned are better off today after Russian victories. You should want Russia to win too.

@bekeneel well I guess the hundreds/thousands of Ukrainian troops who got killed in Severodonetsk and Lysychansk didn't exactly "withdraw", nor did those crippled by Russian munitions, nor did those captured.

@bekeneel Absolutely no idea how many Russians died in those battles, nor how many DPR militia, nor how many LPR militia, nor how many Chechens. No one knows. That's why it is foolish to speculate. Nonsense that attackers suffer more casualties than defenders...one of the reasons to go so cautiously street by street in urban warfare is to minimize casualties. We know from the Ukrainian forces roughly their losses, because Zelensky told us. You are right, indications are that morale very low in Ukraine forces, they fled without a fight, many of them...and so would I if I were an 18 year old reservist from Lvov up against the bloody Chechens! Why would you hope I am not a Putler fanboy? let me guess, "Russia bad, Ukraine good", always, therefore I must be bad?

so i guess the assumption in the West is that Ukrainian victory depends ONLY on the amount of money sent and the amount and quality of weapons. The West assumes Ukraine will have the manpower to win this whatever happens, no matter how many hundreds of soldiers are massacred, crippled or captured every day. hmmm, risky assumption
