  1. I would be surprised if Ukraine would hold on to Donbass by August. By that time I expect new Russian offensive, I am guessing Zaporozia.

  2. They are doing record income from oil and gas and this will continue. Ukraine is loosing weapons at rate they cannot sustain, same for troops. So they are getting weaker.

  3. Nah, everyone already knows he is a strong leader. Reasons for war are spelled by Putin like 1000x times. Same as conditions for surrender, aims of war etc. They are outlined in point form.

  4. They more or less did - except their surrender is mostly dropping guns and running.

  5. Russia cares for well being of people of Donbass or Crimea. So it does care. What about these assholes in Europe - do they care about Russian minorities? Or Serbian? Nope. Do EU grant Catalonia its freedom? Nope. What about UK - why block Scottish referendum? B/c afraid it will loose?

  6. Drones? Maybe if they get something better then TB2.

  7.    We see later on. It would certainly be tragic for Ukraine to loose access to the sea.

  8. Which ones? Well, name them.

  9. What regions? Name them!

  10. Sure, as will be Russia.

  11. Mariupol had huge defenses - who is this clown? It was so close to the rebels and was thus uber defended. It may take many days to take it.

  12. Backing for war is 75% few months ago and I assume its growing. Support for Putin is 90% - mostly backed by people of Russia for the war. The more west pushes the more Russian people push back. Ukraine will be strangled in between.

  13. Ukraine has lost between 20k to 30k killed in action, about 3x as many wounded and over 1000 tanks destroyed. This is in addition to 1000s of other vehicles, 1000s of artillery pieces etc.

  14.  @rockrabbit253  LOL, if Russia cannot sustain it, why Russia picked this method of fighting?
    1
  15. Putin 2.0 will come.

  16. Chinese wonder why in the west we watch news - they say its all propaganda. Imagine if it was really 450, so like 1500 wounded. Where is any proof of this and if so many, imagine Ukraine losses (!)

  17.  @mrsnrub282  Ukraine lost so much equipment west would need to give like half of their to account for these losses ;)

  18. We seen like dozens of attacks there by Ukraine with no result. Ukraine also failed to cross the river multiple times. I doubt they do much there - Russians will continue to slowly gobble up Donbass.

  19.  @SurfinScientist  Same river, from the Kharkiv side. Russians taken out pontoon bridges with air strikes.

  20. Force it.

  21. Its 30k vs. 20k or maybe 35k vs. 25k. Ukraine have 50% advantage and they foolishly attacked. They took heavy losses while Russians are reinforcing and getting ready to counter attack.
    1
  22. Its close to be gone. Ukraine's troops are refusing to fight.
    1
  23. Short answer, they are not loosing as many troops as this show claims. Also Ukraine is loosing at least 2x as many.
    1
  24. What about helping Russians to drive Ukrainian invaders out!?
    1
  25. If Soviets did not start anything - as Stalin took what he wanted and never bothered to take more, why on Earth would Putin want more. Why? There are zero territorial claims of Russia in Finland. There are very few Russians in Finland. The main worry is of Finland invading Russian land not the other way around. For that NATO hopefully will not aid Finland in their quest.

  26. A lot of these pp will die and a lot of civilians will die if they do not get uniforms for them - these guys need to be clearly marked so Russian troops know to engage them not unarmed civilians. Molotov cocktails are stupid idea. They were already in WWII.

  27. But they continue to gain ground?
    1
  28. Oh they would celebrate big time. But that is super unlikely.
    1
  29. Certainly, they be defeated in only annexing part of Ukraine, not all ;)
    1
  30. Nah, Russians destroyed a lot of it. They have it maybe for few more days and then desperate defense of Nikoliv.
    1
  31. They been out there for like well over a week. Some already destroyed by the Russians.
    1
  32. But Germany lost the war.
    1
  33. Idiots, the reason Sweden survived WWII without any scratch is due to their neutrality. Now they are throwing it all away. Even bigger idiots are Fins. During WWIII there was a chance Fins would not suffer too much as they are far away from any nukes blowing up. But not now. Russia can now just add them to the list to be leveled. Even if it somehow only goes tactical - they are now legit targets. What do they gain exactly? Nothing at all.

  34. So if Russia has lost a third of their army in Ukraine how big are Ukrainian losses?
    1
  35.  @ADZ01982  I usually look at what UA general staff posts about Russian losses and assume they are talking about their own - a good estimate.
    1
  36. Certainly it shows now - they know how to properly surrender and have good conditioning in moving backwards.
    1
  37. Annexed by whom?
    1
  38. No agreement yet. Probably some will be in the courts to face war crime trials.
    1
  39. Currently they do not even have 30m
    1
  40. Why? Why would Russia invade Finland? Didn't Soviets invade, take what they wanted already? In 1945 Stalin did not find it worth while to take more. Why would suddenly Putin decide to take more? Come on. Use some logic.
    1
  41. Where they would escape anyways - their next objective is Nikoliv and Odessa after.
    1
  42. Things would need to go badly for Russia - so far they are winning the war so no need.
    1
  43. Lose what, certainly not the war ;)
    1
  44. they cannot replace what they lost - for about a month now.
    1
  45. They are first dealing with Donbass - maybe then Odessa or other target. One at a time.
    1
  46. And due to their luck of logistics they are now able to cut off Ukrainian forces in Donbass. Something does not add up here.
    1
  47. Some others said 800. I think tomorrow or day after when they take Kiev it will be 4500. :)

  48. Production is fine - whole train of brand new T-90Ms arrived on the front line. So far BBC counted over 2300 dead Russians.

  49. Nah, that honor goes to Stephan Bandera - one of the most blood thirsty humans on earth that makes Hitler look like an angel.
    1
  50. Why? Putin over calculated this and they are winning this war super easy. His popularity will go up.
