  1. Guys, what do you think about the case in Bucha? Is this really happened, or this is a Ukrainian fake in the information war?

  2.  @FinnisJaeger  Russia as a whole is a second World country with life standarts, better than in majority of South American, Asian and of course African countries

  3.  @Tk3997  Russians became outnumbered and retreated from Kyiv

  4. Russians had invaded Ukraine without numerical superiority, while Ukraine is the largest land millitary in Europe after Russia. Ukraine have far more tanks, than Germany, Poland, Britain or France. If the quality of troops is equal, according to the law of millitary science attacking side is suffering more casualities. The major 2 reasons, why Russian invasion had failed in first few weeks: 1) Joung Russian soldiers aren't motivated to fight against brother Slavic people, a lot of Russians have relatives in Ukraine, probably some Russian soldiers have relarives in Ukraine (Millitary crimes probably were commited by soldiers of Asian and Islamic nationalities or by Russian police forces, not by Russian troops of Slavic nationality, I heard that Bucha massacre was commited by Chechen troops) . Russian soldiers are mentally and morally supressed, they don't want to fight against brother Slavic people. Opposite - Ukrainians have moral boom, they are fighting for their homeland. Also, civillian deaths would demoralize Russians and rise the morale of Ukrainians. 2) Russian command probably believed in its own propaganda, and commanders in Kremlin were thinking, that they would take all of Ukraine in 3 days without resistance, and Russian troops would be met with flowers. And Russian command simply didn't prepared for a war - Russians didn't planned, that they would face the resistance, they thought that they would take all of Ukraine in 3 days, and this is why Russians at now have poor logistics and preparation. Russians were invading Ukraine by moving in columns, very dangerous for ambushes. Russia have a population of 146 million people, while Ukraine have the population of 40 million. The life standarts, economy and corruption in Russia and Ukraine are in the same level, but Ukraine was fighting a Donbass war, and Ukrainians probably worked on corruption in their army, and also Ukrainian army was trained by Western specialists. Also, Ukrainians have modern Western AT weapons and drones. After 3 weeks Russians had stopped their invasion, and at now they are reinforcing and forming the frontline, they made a pause. Russians are dasapointed of their first plan, and they refused it, retreated from Kyiv to regroup and resupply in the Donbass region. This means that Russians aren't targeting occupation of all Ukraine no more, Russians refused their goal to occupie all Ukraine, and at now fighting would go only in the East of Ukraine. Also, because war wasn't declared, and Putin didn't even call this a war, there is no mobilization in Russia. After 2 months from the start of war Russia didn't started mobilization. Also, many mercenaries and volumteers from other countries are supporting Ukraine. Probably Ukrainian side already have numerical superiority over the Russian side. Let's hope this war would end up to the 9th of May - the every-year celebration of Soviet victory in WW2. Putin need to end the war up to 9th of May 2022, so, probably Russia would take Mariupol and Donbass region, and war would end, if Ukrainian side would agree. I think that casualities ratio between Russia and Ukraine is ~2 to 1 in favour of Ukraine. The popular comparison with Iraq is nonesense, because Iraq was technologically backward compared to the US, and Iraqish population had low morale and didn't wanted to fight for their government - Iraqish soldiers were surrendering without a fight. US army was preparing for the invasion for a long time, and US had huge economical superiority. Also, Iraq geographically is a flat territory - the desert, very good for tanks and good for rocket weapons targeting. Also, Iraq didn't had suppourt from other countries, while Ukraine have such suppourt. And even in such conditions US took a MONTH to occupie Iraq. Also, US had economical superiority over isolated in 1991 Iraq by DOZENS of times.

  5. Chechnya wasn't even recognized as an independent country, Russian millitary operation in Chechnya was something like the Ukrainian army operation in the East of Ukraine (2014-2022)

  6.  @Lassemalten  Russia don't have mobilization, because war wasn't declared, so Russia is David, and Ukraine is Goliath

  7.  @PossessedPotatoBird  Russia have very little army, if we woild look to territories and enemies. Ukraine launched mobilization, while Russia didn't

  8. Russia is using rockets and artillery, so Russians think that Ukrainian army is suffering casualities from it

  9.  @Vlad-yi6oo  even middle Russian life standarts are better than Ukrainian, and they are global average

  10.  @FinnisJaeger  Russian soldiers are maroudering in Ukraine, because Russian army is unprofessional cannon fodder. Low salaries in millitary + unemployment in province = rabble, who don't realized itself in the peaceful life is going to serve in the army. Kiev is a capital city of Ukraine, with population of 4 million, so there is no wonderful, that Kiev region is rich, because this is capital city. And of cource Russian soldiers = provincial rabble, are maroudering in this region. But de facto Ukraine is more poor than Russia. Big Russian cities aren't worser than Kiev, a lot of huge Russian cities are better than Kiev.

  13.  Hello World  nazism isn' means "anti-Jewish". German nazism was anti-Jewish, but Ukrainian nazism is anti-Russian. For example in 2018 there was a language reform in Ukraine - Russian language was banned in shcools, governmental buildings and mass media. Also, Soviet symbolics were banned in the country even on Victory day
