  1. None of this would have happened if Ukraine didn't started a war against Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republucs after American backed coup in Kiev

  2. Russia is not capable to fight a longterm war with entire NATO or Europe, Russia is at 4th year of war with Ukraine. Even considering the fact that Ukraine had best military in Europe already before the war, and Western aid boosted strength of Ukraine for ~1.5-2 times equalizing it with Russia, without Western backing, Russia could have defeated Ukraine in ~1 year, Ukrainians simply could have run out of ammo and artillery shells by that point. But with Western aid powers were equalized and Russia is on 4th year of war with just 10% of Ukraine captured since 2022. West actually deceived Ukraine with military aid, NOT giving Ukraine enough weapons to defeat Russia on purpose, because Ukrainian victory isn't profitable for West, West wants an endless war of attrition against Russia by using Ukraine as a tool. So for all this 3 years West was giving a very small, not enough amount of help to Ukraine ON PURPOSE, Ukraine was deceived and used as tool in war of attrition. But this help was enough to equalize power with Russia. At now Russia have a military that is numerically 5-6 times larger than at the start of the war (170 thousand Russian troops was initial number, now Russians have about 900 thousand at the frontline and Ukraine have an army of 1100 thousand soldiers), the whole Europe have nearly 600 thousand infantry servicemen, but Europe is not united and there are many small militaries which wouldn't help. Also, unlike Europe, Russia gained extreme EXPERIENCE of real full scale war of 21st century, Russian troops that are fighting in Ukraine have huge combat experience, they are using drones massively, unlike European militaries with no experience. But Europe have 10 times more economic power and 5 times more population, so in longterm Russia will obviously lose, especially considering that this war military build up costed Russian people already a high inflation and Russian society is tired of war. I doubt that Russia will go beyond Ukraine even if Ukraine will be captured fully. Also, unlike war in Ukraine, Russia simply don't have a reason to fight with Europe. War in Ukraine started originally after American backed coup in Ukraine in 2014. America and Europe supported a pro-Wetsern coup in Kiev, and Russia as the only post Soviet regional power responded with its own coups in Crimea and Donbass. So, this war is a result of the competition of global powers for the spheres of influence, America and Europe have supported a coup in Ukraine, a change of government, while Russia is ready to fight for its sphere of influence against Western hygemony. And war in Ukraine started in 2022 only after 8 years of diplomacy and negotiations. Putin didn't wanted this war, Putin was actually trying to avoid this war, Putin tried to solve everything with making a deal with West. This war happened only after 8 years of Russia trying to use diplomacy, and even when war broke out Putin was thinking that it will be a 2 week walkthrough with low casualities and low harm, and when the first blood appeared, Putin started peace talks with Ukraine already at the 5th day of war, and during Istambul peace talks Russia offered Ukraine a proposal of pre-war border. Putin is actually much more peaceful and diplomatic that you might think, and war started only after diplomatic failures and war was managed unprofessionally. So just chill bro, Russia isn't threating Europe, there is nothing that Russia needs from Europe, and no such rhetoric inside Russia, I am telling this to you as Russian, I am Russian citizen, there is NO any agressive rhetoric against Europe in Russia. In case with Ukraine, there was an 8 years old information war and 8 years of propaganda from both sides. So your whole point makes no sence, Russia doesn't need and doesn't want to invade Europe, we have NO interests in Europe, we want to only retake Ukraine from the Western sphere to our sphere of influence and nothing more. The only thing we want is to secure our sphere of influence against other global powers such as America, China or Europe. In 2014 America and Europe supported a coup in Ukraine, and now our military is retaking Ukraine back to Russian orbit. We have NO disputes with Baltic nations, we have NO disputes with Poland, we have NO disputes with Finland, Putin stated many times that we want peace, trade and good relations with European Union because you were our best gas buyers and car suppliers

  3. There was a ceasefire to not attack energy infrastructure but Ukraine didn't signed it, only Russia promised to not do this

  4. It's impressive how Ukraine lost thousands of soldiers to capture 15 villages in low density region of Kursk in exchange of dozens of settlements and cities in the Donbass region

  7. He just spoken truth, it were Russian nukes with all control and navigation systems being in Russia. Also, according to the deal, Ukraine must have been a neutral non-aligned state
    22
  8. Do not talk nonsense - no drone was launched from the territories of Ukraine. And most likely this is not even a military drone, but an ordinary civilian copter used by ordinary people, and most likely it was launched right in Moscow.
    21
  9. Russia is able to advance and capture territories while Russia have LESS soldiers than Ukraine and there is no mobilization in Russia, while Ukrainian police is catching men on the streets like animals. It is logically clear that Ukrainian casualities are HIGHER than Russian, if SMALLER Russian army is advancing without mobilizing while Ukraine mobilizes constanly

  13. Bakhmut is a city from which all civilians have long been evacuated. There hasn't been a single patient or a single child in this hospital for a long time. However, there were Ukrainian soldiers who held positions there. And the hospital was bombed to smoke out or destroy the Ukrainian troops

  14. Russian army in Ukraine got caught in time-space anomaly, always capturing the same villages, this is why they can't proceed

  16. ​ @Nico9472_  Wagner is advancing in city, in very tall modern buildings, while Ukrainian forces captured empty potato field. It is easy for troops to advance througth open field. And de facto Ukraine didn't captured this potato field - open field is a bad position for defense, so Russian simply abandoned open areas in favour of defensible positions in nearest forest belts

  20. The reason for all the failures and defeats of the Russian army is the insufficient initial number of troops. On February 24, 2022, when the war began, Russia fielded only about 100 thousand soldiers against Ukraine. Plus several tens of thousands of soldiers from the DPR and LPR. There were about 150 thousand soldiers in Ukraine already on the first day of the war. That is, at the beginning of the war, the number of the two armies was comparable. And as you know, a numerical advantage of at least one and a half times is needed for a successful offensive. Ukraine began to mobilize already on the first day of the war. In the first two months of the war, the Russian army was still able to move somewhere, but over time the Russian offensive stalled, due to the fact that Ukraine had been mobilizing since the first day of the war, and the number of the Ukrainian army was growing every day. The Russian offensive is bogged down by superior Ukrainian numbers. In the first seven months, Russia fought against Ukraine with a relatively small contingent of contract soldiers, without conscripts and without mobilization. Thanks to the numerical superiority that the AFU accumulated during the 7 months of the war, the AFU was able to launch a successful offensive in September 2022. But the Ukrainian army won simply due to numerical superiority. In other words, it's not an equal fight. In equal conditions, the Russian army demonstrated a much higher combat capability in March 2022. As of mid-April 2022, the Russians have seized territory in Ukraine the size of England. Do not forget that the Ukrainian army is much stronger than the French, German or British army. Ukraine on February 24, 2022 had ~ 150 thousand soldiers and 1000 tanks, the AFU is the largest army in Europe. For comparison, Britain in 2021 had about 70 thousand soldiers and 200 tanks. Germany has 80,000 soldiers and 400 tanks, and France had 120,000 soldiers and 600 tanks in 2021. As of February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian army was the most numerous and mechanized in all of Europe, not counting the Russian army. It is quite easy to defeat the Russian army when Russia is fighting without mobilization, when Russia is fighting without conscripts, when Russia is fighting with a limited contingent of 100 thousand soldiers, and you already have a comparable army on the first day of the war, and you are mobilizing from the first day of the war, and the West also gives you unlimited resources to wage war. Unlimited amount of money, a huge amount of weapons. And in the end, despite all these weapons, despite all this help, despite the numerical superiority of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia still wins in the end - 60% of the Kherson region, half of the Zaporozhye region, 80% of the Luhansk region have been occupied by Russia since February 24, 2022 and Russia holds this territory against Western tanks and tens of billions of US dollars as military aid. West provided Ukraine by nearly 130 billion dollars in 15 months - few pre-war Ukrainian year state budgets.

  21. Yeah, this is professional soldiers. Wagner group have NATO equipment, they work in small groups, and their fighting capability is much higher than Ukrainian army have. Wagner soldiers use prisioners to carry their ammo, granade launchers and weapons

  22.  @Pillar8908  Russia is breaking a 2014 defensive line in the Donbass, where Ukraine was building defensive lines and bunkers for 9 years straight from 2014, where there are bunkers that stand against 3000 kilogramm aviation bomb, and all these massive defenses and bunkers are located in the highly populated urban region, where one city smoothly goes to another with huge empty potato fields with no cover between them, while Ukrainians have heights and rivers as natural barrier at some parts. And also Russia have invaded Ukraine with much smaller army than Ukraine had, Russia is fighting without mobilization for nearly two years now, so in fact, on august 2024 defending Ukrainian side have numerical superiority over Russia, Ukraine have more soldiers than Russia in the frontline, and despite all this Russia is able to advance and Russia took the strongest Ukrainian fortress of the Donbass and strongest fortress in the World in fact - Avdeevka, that was main defensive chain of Ukraine. Russia have total superiority in artillery, Russia produces 3 times more artillery shells than entire NATO combined, while Ukraine already ran out of Soviet artillery shells back in the end of 2022, and NATO gives 50-60% of its artillery shell production, so there are 6 times superiority in artillery on the Russian side while half of NATO's European arsenals are empty. Artillery and aviation are two Gods of War. In all recent wars for 200 years artillery was the cause of 90% of casualities, while infantry combat is around 5% of casualities. 90% of all soldiers who have died in WW1 and WW2 died due to artillery shelling, not in actual combat and shooting of rifles. In the start of the war Russian army was technologically and tactically backward - there were no FPV drones in the Russian military and Ukraine had huge superiority by using FPV drones against Russian armored columns. But Russians learned from their mistakes and already during Ukrainian 2023 summer counteroffensive there was PARITY between Russia and Ukraine in drones, and at now Russia produces 3000-4000 FPV drones PER DAY. Also Russia have modernized its aviation to more accurate bombs with better precision, the same that USA did in late Vietnam war and what revolutionised American military, the accuracy of bombs grew up for DOZENS of times and during the Iraq war USA were very effectively using this tech. USSR and Russia were totally backward from USA in this technology untill 2024. Also, Russia have total superiority in electronic warfare, that is very effeftive against Ukrainian FPV drones and famous American sattelite navigation artillery shells of Hotwitzer-777, dropping accuracy of 777 satellite guided shells from 70% to 2% and making these shells economically useless. So, it is fair to say that Russia is fighting with QUALITY, while Ukraine is fighting with QUANTITY. Russia is fighting without mobilization, Russia is fighting with only volunteers, while in Ukraine there are already nearly one million men were forcefully mobilized, and at now Ukrainian morale is low, Ukrainian men are trying to avoid mobilization and Ukrainian police forcefully catches men on the streets like animanls. And mobilized Ukrainian men at now are being thrown into battle with less than week of training. While Russian morale is normal, because Russia have 4 times more population than Ukraine, and Russian casualities at now smaller than Ukrainian, so the nearly same casualities affect 4 times bigger population 4 times less. Also, Russia is fighting war without mobilization and Russian volunteers have at least 3 months of preparation. Russia is very slowly advancing, having less soldiers than defending Ukrainian side, but Russian soldiers have better training, better morale, superiority in artillery, FPV drones and aviation, while Ukraine have superiority of defending side (in EQUAL conditions attacking side is suffering 1.5 times more casualities), also Ukraine have landscape and urban superiority with defensive lines and bunkers. So, casuality ratio between Russia and Ukraine is nearly equal with small superiority on Russian side, and Russians having less soldiers are able to advance slowly and capture strongest fortification system on Earth in urban warfare and open spaces with no cover between them. In fact, Russia have less soldiers than Ukraine, but few timer more support firepower, while Ukraine is defending with more men and have numerical superiority and fortifications

  23. War is a very expensive and financially costly business. You need a lot of money to supply troops by ammo and equipment, you need a strong economy. Wars are won by economics and logistics, not arrows on the map. Ukraine is a poor corrupt post-Soviet country. Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, if we don't count Russia as a European country. Corruption and poverty was everywhere in Ukraine even before the war started. And when the war actuallu started, Ukraine's economy simply collapsed as a result of migration and mobilization. The Ukrainian economy has suffered much more from the war, than the Russian economy suffered from sanctions. Without the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have been defeated a long time ago. For the last 15 months, West provided Ukraine with about 200 billion euros of financial assistance. These are six annual state budgets of Ukraine. Three annual budgets (72 months) of the country for 15 months of 2022-23. 25 Ukrainian military budgets. Before the war, in 2021, for example, Ukraine spent about 8 billion euros on the army, about 20% of the state budget. In last 15 months, Ukraine was allocated 200 billion euros of financial assistance. Without this help, Ukraine would not be able to wage war for economic reasons, and Russian tanks would have been in Odessa and Kyiv for a long time. If not for the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have capitulated in the summer of 2022. And Russia, in fact, is not fighting against Ukraine. Russia is fighting against the entire Western Bloc. As for arms supplies, they amount to about $50 billion. Russia spent so much money before the war on rearmament of the army in 5 years. Ukraine has exhausted its reserves of Soviet artillery ammunition and is now fighting with American artillery and American ammunition. Without these American guns, Ukraine would have no guns at all. At the same time, Ukraine fires several times less ammunition every day than Russia. And even so, Britain, the USA and Poland do not have enough production capacity to provide the AFU. Their production is lower than consumption. If it were not for the support of the West, Russia would have already captured the whole of Ukraine twice. In 2023 West increased the scale of military assistance to Ukraine. Without this help, Ukraine would have been defeated a long time ago, and one cannot say that allegedly "Russia cannot defeat one weak Ukraine." Because Russia is fighting not only against Ukraine, but against Ukraine with huge support from the West, and this support, from an economic point of view, many times exceeds the capabilities of the Russian economy. The reason for all the failures and defeats of the Russian army is the insufficient initial number of troops. On February 24, 2022, when the war began, Russia fielded only about 100 thousand soldiers against Ukraine. Plus several tens of thousands of soldiers from the DPR and LPR. There were about 150 thousand soldiers in Ukraine already on the first day of the war. That is, at the beginning of the war, the number of the two armies was comparable. And as you know, a numerical advantage of at least one and a half times is needed for a successful offensive. Ukraine began to mobilize already on the first day of the war. In the first two months of the war, the Russian army was still able to move somewhere, but over time the Russian offensive stalled, due to the fact that Ukraine had been mobilizing since the first day of the war, and the number of the Ukrainian army was growing every day. The Russian offensive is bogged down by superior Ukrainian numbers. In the first seven months, Russia fought against Ukraine with a relatively small contingent of contract soldiers, without conscripts and without mobilization. Thanks to the numerical superiority that the APU accumulated during the 7 months of the war, the APU was able to launch a successful offensive in September 2022. But the Ukrainian army won stupidly due to numerical superiority. In other words, it's not an equal fight. In equal conditions, the Russian army demonstrated a much higher combat capability in March 2022. As of mid-April 2022, the Russians have seized territory in Ukraine the size of England. Do not forget that the Ukrainian army is much stronger than the French, German or British army.

Germany has 80,000 soldiers and 400 tanks, and France had 120,000 soldiers and 600 tanks in 2021. As of February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian army was the most numerous and mechanized in all of Europe, not counting the Russian army. It is quite easy to defeat the Russian army when Russia is fighting without mobilization, when Russia is fighting without conscripts, when Russia is fighting with a limited contingent of 100 thousand soldiers, and you already have a comparable army on the first day of the war, and you are mobilizing from the first day of the war, and the West also gives you unlimited resources to wage war.

  26. Dude you are late with this proposal, Russia was proposing peace negotiations for more than a year, but after Ukrainian invasion of Kursk Putin stated that there would be no negotiations. They can't trade this land until they lose it, and Ukraine wasted its most elite troops in Kursk offensive while having shortages of troops in the Donbass frontline. So Ukraine simply made suicidial offensive with clear aim to capture Kursk Nuclear Plant and blackmail Russia, and this offensive failed.

  27. Putin is quite satisfied with what he has now. There will be presidential elections in Russia in 13 months, where Putin should be elected president for another 6 years, until 2030. Therefore, Putin needs to somehow end the war in these 13 months. He had long understood the whole stalemate of the situation, and a couple of months ago he asked for negotiations. In general, Russia held referendums at the end of September 2022, annexing 4 Ukrainian regions. In fact, this is a designation of the goals of the war and the requirements for Ukraine in the negotiations

  29. What's wrong with giving Russia a Russian land?

  30. Да, российская армия сейчас наступает в ДЕСЯТКИ раз быстрее чем в конце 2022 года. В конце 2022 и начале 2023 года российские войска несколько месяцев захватывали 60 тысячный город Бахмут и несколько деревень вокруг, а потом несколько месяцев Россия сидела в обороне. Сейчас же Россия берет по одной-две деревни каждый день. Российское наступление ускорилось после взятия Авдеевки в феврале 2024 - это была самая сильная крепость и сеть укреплений Украины на всём Донбассе, и по сути российские войска окружили и взяли самую сильную крепость на Планете. Также российское наступление ускорилось благодаря вторжению Украины в Курскую область - мало того что Украина проигрывала войну на Донбассе и каждый день теряла территории, Украина решила часть своих войск и элитные бригады кинуть в Курскую область и расширила протяженность фронта. Как итог за последние 3 месяца российские войска заняли больше территорий, чем за предыдущие 7 месяцев наступления западнее Авдеевки. Российские войска заняли порядка 700 квадратных километров за 3 месяца, и темп, скорость наступления российских войск только увеличивается, а украинская оборона шатается и ходит ходуном. Важно отметить что со взятием Авдеевки российские войска прорвали оборонительную линию 2014 года, где Украина строила укрепления, бункеры и троншеи долгие 9 лет с 2014 года. Российские войска прорвали самую сильную оборонительную линию на Планете. А дальше у Украины уже укрепления не такие сильные. К августу 2024 российские войска подошли к Покровску и Мирнограду, 100 тысячной городской агломерации, но вместо штурма российские войска остановили наступление и решили укрепить фланги. Сейчас российские войска штурмуют Южно Донецкую городскую агломерацию, российские войска заняли Украинск, Новогродовку, Угледар, Селидово и Горняк - это города с суммарным населением под 80-100 тысяч человек, в полтора-два раза больше Бахмута, и заняли за 3 месяца вместе с 400 квадратными километрами, когда как в случае с Бахмутом бились 8 месяцев и заняли 100 квадратных километров. Кураково тоже скоро падёт - а вот дальше у Украины уже нет городов и оборонительных линий, дальше уже идут деревни и пустые поля которые российская армия будет занимать гораздо быстрее, а когда падет Покровск - главный логистический узел Украины на всем Донбассе, и за Покровском у Украины кстати тоже уже нет городов и укреплений, только поля и редкие деревни, Украина будет обречена потерять весь Донбасс. К весне 2025 года будет взят Торецк, Часов Яр, российские войска выйдут к реке Оскол, будет взята Великая Новосёловка, и возможно уже будет во всю идти битва за Покровск, а может он уже будет взят - после падения Селидово российские войска открыли для себя южную дорогу на Покровск, так что к Покровску теперь подойдут сразу с двух сторон и будут окружать. Украина потеряет всю Донецкую область к концу 2025 или началу 2026 года такими темпами.

  31.  @GrUnT9191  what an achievement of Ukrainian army to lose thousands of soldiers to lose this city

  32. Russia have upper hand as a result of Russian strategy - war of attrition, that was choosen by Russian comand in late 2022. Russian production of artillery shells is 3 times larger than of entire NATO alliance, and North Korean help is small part of what Russia produces by itself. Russia may have even bigger superiority over Ukraine, if Russia had mobilization. But currently Russia is fighting without mobilization, by using only volunteers. Ukraine was mobilizing since the start of the war, and after 2.5 years or war Ukraine simply ran out of manpower, Ukrainian police is catching Ukrainian men on streets like animanls. And Zelensky made a very silly and mistaken move by invading Kursk region of Russia while Ukrainian army have manpower shortages. So, Ukrainian defensive capabilities in the Donbass region have decreased, while for Ukraine Donbass is most important area, because this is highly populated urban area where one city is being right after another city, urban area is good for defense and hard to attack. Also, since 2014 to 2022, for 8 years Ukraine was building a defensive lines, bunkers and fortifications in this area, and also Ukraine have superiority of landscape. Russia is fighting without mobilization, so Russia have less soldiers than Ukraine, while Ukraine is defending on good landscape with best on the Planet defensive line and support from the West. But if you look on the map, you can see that it is Russia who is advancing, not Ukraine. So, despite the fact that Ukraine have more soldiers than Russia and all other advantages, it seems like Russia have some bigger and more sufficient advantage over Ukraine in something else - artillery, the God of War. Also Russia organised massive production of FPV drones since 2023, and at now there are a parity in usage of drones on both sides. So, if in the start of the war it was Russia who was backward in this technology, at now it is Ukraine who is backward and Russian drone production is increasing. Also Russia modernized its aviation equipping it with 3000 kilogramms bombs and navigation systems for more precise heats. Thus, we can clearly see, that it is Ukraine who is fighting with quantity, while Russia is fighting with quality and casuality ratio is nearly equal if we combine all advantages of both sides. With regards to Western help to Ukraine, after 2.5 years of war it is clear that United States don't want Ukraine to win. Russia is strategic enemy of USA, and USA want the war of attrition against Russia to last for as long as possible to cause damage to Russia. So, this is why USA have a GOAL to NOT give to Ukraine sufficient amount of military help. Ukraine was tricked by its Western partners, Western powers have a conspiracy deal to give to Ukraine insuffifient amount of help in order to war against Russia to be endless

  34. Ukraine recaptured an empty potato field with nothing in it. This means nothing. In this field, Ukrainian troops are in full view, and the Russians retreated from this open field to advantageous defensive positions in the forest belt, from where Ukrainians can be shot like in a shooting range

  40. Ukraine has been mobilizing from the first day of the war, while Russia has been fighting against Ukraine for 7 months not at full strength, using a limited contingent of volunteers from among contract soldiers. It is clear that after 7 months of the war, thanks to mobilization, the Ukrainians simply accumulated a numerical superiority and launched a successful offensive near Kharkov. However, they achieved success only due to their numerical superiority. Now that Russia has also mobilized, there will be no more successful Ukrainian offensives. And opposite, there would be succesfull Russian offensives
    7
  41. ​ @jehandesains8674  Russia never announced any offensives, Western propaganda announced Russian offensive instead of Russia and at now it is "lack of success". This is not lack of success, because Ukraine is unable to conduct offensives too, just remember how summer 2023 Ukrainian offensive looked like, and if Russian army is so weak and so unable to defeat Ukrainians - why Ukraine isn't advancing, why Ukraine is on defensive, losing territory, have lack of cannon fodder after suffering 200 thousand + KIA against Russia?

  42.  @jehandesains8674  you are talking nonesence, Russia don't use "meat wave" tactics, there are no examples of this. Russia uses modern tactics, same as Ukraine. Russia have far more FPV drones and Russian artillery is same accurate as Ukrainian but few times more

  43. 3 rifles per year

  47.  @jehandesains8674  lol what a nonesence, Ukraine captured 400 square kilometers in 10 days, 200 more is grey zone and you say about control of 1100 and 700 tomorrow while their advance was stopped completely

  48. ​​ @jehandesains8674  at the start of the war Russia had 150 thousand soldiers, DPR abd LPR had 30 thousand and Wagner entered the war on march 17th 2022 with few thousand soldiers. Ukraine had 220 thousand soldiers at the start of the war and mobilized 30-40 thousand per month for last 3 years. Russia have 4 times more population than Ukraine, so if Russia fought a war against Ukraine with mobilization since the start, then I agree with you - Russia would have taken all of Ukraine in 6 months with 2 million strong army. But Russia was fighting a war with limited force of volunteers contractors against numerically superior Ukrainian army. So, there is NOTHING SHAMEFUL in fact that Russia didn't managed to quickly capture Ukraine. You have very exagerrated expectations about Russian military, fueled by Western mass media and propaganda that always showed Russian army as extremely strong force. But your expectations made by Western propaganda is your problem

  50.  @davol9666  Shariy was working on charity since war had started. People on his streams were paying money to help Ukrainian civillians in this war. Yes, before the war Shariy was an opposition politician in Ukraine. Shariy criticized nationalism and pro-Western politics of Ukrainian government. Also Shariy was making videos about corruption in Ukrainian government - coal business of Ukrainian president Poroshenko in the Donbass region. Poroshenko was trading with Russians by coal from Donbass region, occupied by Russians since 2014, and was selling this coal to Ukrainians, telling them cool story that "this call was bought from Australia, and this is why its price is so high". Ukraine is a democratic state, and before the war Shariy had rights to talk things like this. The bad thing about him is that he is pro-Russian, so at now Shariy must go to the frontline

  52. @KarafutodoPrefecture Western ideology and values mean freedom of speech and respect to opinions of other people. Have you forgotten it? And also - what China did bad? In last 50 years China was the only great power that never was fighting a war, unlike USA and West that invaded Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Yougoslavia. China is peacefully developing, unlike the West. What they did bad to you, to Europe, to Britain?

  53.  @crogmmp  he is right - Russia is fighting without mobilization. There is no martial law in Russia. War undeclared. While Ukraine provides full scale mobilization. (DPR and LPR are also providing full-scale mobilization). Ukraine probably have a numerical advantage over Russian side. Also, West is suppourting Ukraine by enormous amounts of weapons and vehicles. Much more modern weapons, than Russia have. And Russia still gaining ground. But I think Russians would stop. There would be a september soon. Rain season. Probably, Russians would take some parts of DPR in august, and Russian offensive would be stopped until the summer 2023. If not forever - Ukraine would have huge well-trained army with Western weapons up to the summer 2023. So, if this war would continue to 2023, without mobilization Russia would lose.

  55.  @MegaEssin  you know very little about what happened in Ukraine. Ukraine as a state is oligarchy, which means that all political parties and media in Ukraine are oligarch paid, oligarch puppets. Just like Russia in the 90s, there were few oligarchs that controlled few political parties and few TV chanells. Ukraine never stood a chance of joining European Union, because of high corruption and poverty. European Union never wanted to allow this poor corrupted country to join. While Russia was a much better option for Ukraine. Russia and European Union were economically competing for influence over Ukraine. By 2013 statistics, 37% of Ukrainian population was pro-European, 32% was pro-Russian and others didn't cared. There were entire political parties and oligarchs in Ukraine that in terms of foreign policy were either pro-Western or pro-Russian. So, your whole point of view in invalid, because I believe that during a revolution all people have right of self determination, and pro-Russian part of Ukraine ALSO had right of self determination. Pro-Western Ukrainians have chosen their future in favour of Europe, then why they didn't allowed pro-Russian part to choose their future? I believe that Russian people from Crimea and Donbass regions had the SAME right to self determine themselves, as pro-Western Ukrainians in Kiev. And Ukraine didn't allowed them to do it, starting a war in the Donbass. In 2013 American business have bought 99% share of Ukrainian state owned Novatek corporation. This is corporation that controlls Russian gas pipeline that goes to Europe. And in 2013 Americans became owners of Russian gas pipeline in Ukraine. In 2008 and 2004 Russia simply blocked previous American attempt to buy it by forgiving multi billion debts to Ukraine for stealing or not paying for gas. When Russians blocked this deal for the first time in 2004, Americans lobbied a coup during presidential election, where pro-Russian candidate won, but as a result of paid by oligarchs massive protests there was a third election round which is illegal. In 2013 Americans finally achieved this deal. Also, in 2013 Shell corporation made a few contracts about Ukrainian gas. Ukrainian president Yanukovich wasn't pro-Russian, like most people think, he was in fact neutral and he was trying to balance between Russia and European Union. When there was a meeting between Ukraine and European Union, Russia started to threat Ukraine with high trade tariffs, so president was simply forced to not make a deal with European Union, because trade with Russia and investments from Russia were higher than from EU. Yanukovich wasn't pro-Russian, Russia just used its economic influence to force Ukrainian president to act in Russian favour. In fact Yanukovich angered Ukrainian oligarchs long before this deal with European Union, because he was re-distributing oligarch property and assets in his favour. Ukrainian oligarchs just used this failure in deal with Europe to pay money to poor Ukrainian students to come to protests, and later oligarch controlled media started to escalate the protests. Later American money, American media and even American politicians helped the protests - in december 2013 senator John McCain came to Kiev, he gave an inspiring speech in front of protestors. What American senator forgot in another country, thousands of kilometers from his homeland, giving an inspiring speech to protesters who want to overthrow the government and take power? Later, in january 2014 the head of American State Department, Victoria Nuland, came to Ukraine, she talked with Ukrainian politicians in charge of protests, also gave an inspiring speech to people, and gave famous cookies to protestors. And again a question rises - what American senator and head of state department were doing in Kiev during revolution? Just imagine a situation, that during a January 6th 2021 protests in USA, Russian foreign minister Lavrov comes to Washington, talks with Trump, gives a speech to protestors, gives them cookies, and later protestors storm Capitoli, Senate and White House and overthrow Biden. This is what happened in Ukraine. After 2025 Donald Trump closing the USAID funding and leaking the documents have proved, that America have spent 5 billion dollars on media, propaganda, parties and organizations inside Ukraine. It is still secret how much money Europe and Russia spent. Also, Ukrainian oligarchs paid money for 24/7 toilets, 24/7 food, Molotov coktails, weapons and even military helmets to protestors, and one of Ukraine's oligarchs, Poroshenko, who became a president 2 months later, proudly was saying that he paid for all this. Ukrainian oligarchs and some American money have paid for 24/7 food and toilets with heating during winter, weapons and military helmets for protestors in Kiev. Later the first blood appeared, when Ukrainian policemen, who were used to brutally supress Crimea's Tatar and Russian protests for indepdendence from Ukraine (1994-2013), brutally supressed and murdered now Ukrainians themselves in Kiev. Yes, that's right, Ukrainian policemen who murdered people in Kiev, this exact special police unit, Berkut, were the same Ukrainian policemen who were brutally supressing Russian and Tatar protests in Crimea that occured in Crimea in 1994-2013. Also Ukrainian oligarchs paid money to naz%s, because in post Soviet countries naz%s are very healthy strong men who want a fight and they have this punk young preception, they want to fight police and government, and during this protests Ukrainian oligarchs paid money to naz%s, so naz% squads were also fighting police and murdering policemen. Later protestors just started to kill policemen with Molotov coktails, captured state buildings and president flee from Ukraine to only country he can flee - Russia. After this Russian troops came to Crimea. Crimea is a region with MAJORITY of its citizens being Russians. It was originally Russian region with 60% of Russian and 15% of Ukrainian population, that was given to Ukraine by Soviets in 1954. Since 1991 Crimean population wanted indepdendence from Ukraine, Muslim Tatars wanted complete independence while Russians wanted to join Russia. And majority of Crimeans were in disagree with coup in Kiev.

  66. In Crimea in 2013, prior to annexation, according to statistics from the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Russians made up 60% of the population, while Ukrainians made up just 16% of Crimea's population in 2013. In other words, Crimea is Russian territory, where the vast majority of the population is Russian. Even before Crimea was annexed to Russia, in 2013, in Crimea, Russians made up 60% of the population, while Ukrainians made up only 16% of the population. Crimea itself was originally part of Russia. Crimea was originally part of the Russian Soviet Republic. But in 1954, the Soviet government, by its short-sighted decision, handed over Russian territory, where the overwhelming majority of the population is Russian. In 1991 the USSR collapsed. Russia liberated itself and other countries from the USSR. For 23 years, since 1991, Russia was absolutely satisfied with the fact that Crimea was part of Ukraine, while Ukraine was a friendly country. But in 2014, a coup took place in Ukraine. Under such conditions, Russia was forced to conduct a rescue evacuation operation and evacuate Russian territory with 60% of the Russian population to Russia. The local population is happy to reunite with Russia. I know this because I myself communicated with the Crimeans live and in social networks. 60% of the population of Crimea before the annexation were Russians, and these Russians were happy to return to their native harbor, to return to Russia. The Ukrainian army gave Crimea away without a fight, which again proves that it is not Ukrainian. After the return of Crimea to Russia, an uprising began in the Donbass. In the south-east of Ukraine, Russians make up 50% of the population. And these Russian people raised an armed uprising, they wanted to secede from Ukraine. The war has begun. Ukrainian punishers and terrorists have deprived the Crimea of ​​water supply. Ukrainian punishers and terrorists carried out rocket and artillery strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Donbass. People in Donbas still do not have water, electricity and communications. Russia began to launch similar missile strikes against Ukraine only in October 2022, after 8 months of war. Ukrainian punishers did this already in 2014. Crimea was cut off from water supply already in 2014. In 2015, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that "we will have pensions, they (the separatists) will not, we will have a job, they don't, our children will go to school on September 1, their children will sit in basements, and that's how we (Ukraine) win." This is a direct quote. The Ukrainian president said in 2015 that Russian children in Donbas would be kept in basements, and this is how Ukraine would win. And the Ukrainian humorous studio "Kvartal 95", where Zelensky worked, satirized Poroshenko's words, joking that "Russian children in the Donbas no longer need to go to school, Ukrainian artillery fulfills children's dreams." In Donetsk, there is such an attraction - the "alley of angels". This is a list of children who have died under Ukrainian shelling since 2014. Ukraine almost achieved victory over the rebels in 2014, but Russian intervention halted the Ukrainian offensive and reversed the front in August 2014. Ukraine understood that Russia would protect the Russian rebels in the Donbass. Therefore, Ukraine set a course for joining NATO in order to attack the DPR and LPR with impunity. Let's imagine a picture before the 21.02.2022 - almost the whole world recognizes Crimea as Ukrainian, and in general the whole world, including Russia, recognizes Donbass as the territory of Ukraine. Then Ukraine joins NATO, and attacks Donbass, and possibly Crimea. And Russia cannot do anything about it, because if Russia starts helping the rebels, it will be regarded as an invasion of Ukraine and the NATO article about collective defense will work. And there would be a nuclear war between Russia and NATO. So the most realistic scenario was: Ukraine joins NATO and attacks the rebels with absolutely impunity. There are nationalist battalions in the Ukrainian army, such as Azov. These guys wear Nazi symbols, they have tattoos of Hitler, and they hate Russians as a nation. Now let's think about what would happen if Ukrainian troops attacked the DPR and LPR - Ukrainian soldiers massacre the entire pro-Russian local population. Well, in general, there are many videos that are filmed by Ukrainian soldiers themselves, where they say to the camera how they hate the "separatists" and pro-Russian population. If the Ukrainian army entered the territory of the rebels, there would be a genocide. If we had not attacked Ukraine, Ukraine would have simply joined NATO and attacked the Donbass. And we, Russians, have no right to leave our blood brothers in trouble. In 2014, the Russian people in southeastern Ukraine started an armed uprising because they wanted to break away from Ukraine and become part of Russia. Just like Crimea did. And since 2014 there has been a war. Russia defends the right of the Russian people in southeastern Ukraine to self-determination. Ukraine wanted to join NATO in order to attack Russian rebels with impunity. Russia had no choice but to attack first.

  69.  @ALEX_GEEK_CHANNEL  I don't understand your hypocrisy and double standards. People of Crimea had a right to determine their future, just like Ukrainians from Kiev. There was no war before war in the Donbass, Russian troops just came and without a single shot, without a single death, liberated, returned Crimea back to Russia with full support of majority of the population of Crimea. Local people, Crimean residents themselves met Russian troops as liberators, because Crimea originally was part of Russia that was given to Ukraine by Soviets in 1954, and Crimean population wanted to rejoin Russia since the collapse of USSR, there was a separatism, there were massive protests. People of Crimea had the SAME right of self determination as Ukrainian protestors from Kiev. If Ukrainian people in Kiev made a coup and changed the government, changed the president, then Crimeans had the right to do the same, and they were happy when Russian forces came, they got what they wanted - reunification with their homeland, native harbor.

  70. @markmackan3274 Americans helped the protests and coup. Just like Russia later helped pro-Russian protestors in the Donbass. I am not saying like you that coup was foreign-artificial. No. It is IMPOSSIBLE to artificially immitate a coup. Coup in Kiev was a will of PART of Ukrainian people lead by pro-Western politicians lead by oligarchs, while pro-Russian population in the Donbass also had their opinion and will. If we will take a look into the war in the Donbass, the war in the Donbass started in april 2014. The first ever Russian troops came to Donbass in september 2014. So, 20 thousand of young men, local population from the Donbass, was fighting against Ukraine in a war in april, may, june, july, august - 5 months in total, before the first ever Russian soldier crossed the border to help them. What does it mean? It means that pro-Russian ideas were living among population and population in the Donbass supported Russia. Russia, using its money, media, FSB operatives just helped them to make a coup, just like America helped pro-Western Ukrainians in Kiev to make their coup. Donetsk and Luhansk didn't had to follow Ukrainian constitution because government from Kiev itself came to power illegally. What are you saying is hypocrisy and double standards, government in Kiev came to power as a result of illegal coup supported by foreign powers, and you are saying that pro-Russian part of Ukraine should have respected Ukrainian law and constitution. No, they don't needed to follow Ukrainian laws after government from Kiev itself didn't followed Ukrainians laws. America and Europe supported coup in Kiev which was against Ukrainian law and constitution, and Russia supported coups in Crimea and Donbass that also were against Ukrainian law and constitution, because people from Crimea and Donbass supported Russia.

  72. Putin is trying to say that Russia had invaded Ukraine, because Ukraine wanted to join NATO, and NATO is threating Russia. NATO isn't threating Russia - both sides have nukes. If the war between Russia and NATO would start, this would be the shortest war in history, and both NATO and Russia's armies wouldn't have any opportunities to use their positions, such as a cotrolled by someone Ukraine... Russia don't need expansion, and Russia isn't targeting the expansion, because if Russia wanted the expansion - in 2008 Russians had an opportunity to conquer Georgia, but Russians didn't fully occupied Georgia in 2008. This is the evidence that Russia isn't trying to expand and the goal of war isn't the expansion. Russia had invaded Ukraine, because : Putin is caring of his popularity, because he is a dictator, he need to hold his position in power, and Putin is trying to make the dreams of some parts of Russian people into the reality. 1) Huge amount of Russians, especially elderly generation, that was living in Soviet Union, aren't seeing the Ukrainian people as people, they see Russians and Ukrainians as one people and elderly generation of Russians want USSR back. 2) Ukrainian army was fighting against Russian separatist regions in the Donbass, and this factor made some parts of Russian population feel angry towards Ukrainians ( I live in Russia and I know what people, that are surrounding me, are thinking). 30-40% of Russians are suppourting war and Putin, because for 8 years since 2014 Ukrainian military was killing Russian separatists in the Donbass region - unrecognized DPR and LPR governments. And Russians are counting this war as a "Crusade against Ukrainian nationalistic government, that was killing Russian rebels for 8 years". And this is particially true - Ukrainian government and governmental ideology is really nationalistic and anti-Russian in terms of history books and monuments. For example Ukrainian nationalistic batalions have nazi symbolics, in the Ukrainian city of Lviv there are the monument of division SS Galichina - Ukrainian WW2 colaborators, that were serving to Hitler. There are a monument of Ukrainian WW2 colaborators in the city of Lviv. Western Ukraine always was nationalistic, and even in Soviet times Russian-speaking person in Lviv was in danger during the night. In 2018 Ukrainian government had provided the language reform - Russian language was banned in schools, governmental buildings, TV and hospitals. In many Ukrainian cities there are the monuments of Stephan Bandera, Ukrainian WW2 nationalist and leader of Ukrainian Rebel Army. And this monuments are making some Russians misunderstood and angry towards Ukrainians, because Ukrainians have monuments of WW2 nazis in theis cities. And of course Putin't propaganda for 8 years was playing on this, hyperbolizing Ukrainian rusophobia. I live in Russia, and in last 3 years we don't had news about Russia. All governmental media is talking about the Ukraine and West. 3) I don't think that this war really have economical reasons, because Russia suffered economic losses from sanctions and isolation. But actions, that Russian government had provided in 2014 had economical reasons. Ukraine wanted to join European Union, and Russian economical elites don't tolerate such move. If Ukraine had entered the European Union, Russian economic elites would lose Ukrainian market, and Ukraine would become more richer country, and such dictator as Putin don't need democratic and more developed country near his borders. And also Europe would use American nukes in Ukraine as an instrument in question of Russo-European gas trade - gas pepelines are located on the Ukrainian territory. But at now this doesn't matter, because Europe would reject gas trade with Russia in 6-8 years, so economy isn't the reason of war. Putin simply need to hold his power, and he need to make something to his Russian servants, and he invaded Ukraine, because some Russians, especially older generation, want the collapse of Ukraine, and this war would provide the popularity and suppourt to Putin. And Putin isn't caring about economy, he isn't caring about the casualities. This is just like an American film - "Johny got his gun" (1971). The old people, that would die soon, sent joung to death and ruined the future of country. Russian people would lose half of their life standarts for imperial happiness of demential old people, that would vote for "United Russia" and Putin in elections. NATO, as a nuclear operator, isn't threating the Russian security, and Russia, as a nuclear operator too, also isn't threating the NATO security. Putin is liar, and he is lying when he is talking about NATO expansion to the East. The reasons of war are political - Putin simply want to hold power no matter by which cost. But "security of Russia", as Putin says, isn't the reason of war.

  89. ​@jehandesains8674 as a Russian citizen I can say that "shadow mobilzation" is Ukrainian propaganda fake. For first few months of the war Russia fought with small army of 150 thousand contractor troops, while Putin guaranteed that conscripts will not fight in the war, and Russia fought will less than half of its military and without mobilization, and this was the main reason why Ukrainian offensive in Kharkov region in early september 2022 was so sucsessful - there were 2-3 Ukrainian soldiers per each Russian soldier. But after Russia conducted its own mobilization, the numbers of two opposing armies were equalized, and Ukrainian Crimean offensive in 2023 have failed on first step in Zaporojie. At now, currently Russian army also outnumbered by Ukrainian army, there are around 400 thousand Russian troops on the frontline against 500-550 thousand Ukrainian troops. If we consider the fact that Russia is able to win the battles, able to advance and capture land for more than a year straight, while Russia have LESS soldiers than Ukrainian, it is LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE that Russia more casualities than Ukraine. Logically, according to the facts, it is actually Ukraine suffered more KIA and WIA casialities than Russia, and also there are few times more Ukrainian POWs than Russian. Russia increased its production of FPV drones for dozens of times and at now Russia is using drones more massively than Ukraine, Russia have total superiority of firepower, artillery is a God of War than contributes 90% of casualities in all wars of modern era for last 200 years, and Russia produces 3 times more artillery shells than entire NATO alliance combined, while Ukraine already ran out of Soviet artillery shells in late 2022 and relies on HALF of NATO's arsenals. European NATO ammo storages are half empty. Also Russia modernized its aviation for more accurate glided bombs and Russia massively using 3000 kilogram bombs. Russia have total superiority over Ukraine in firepower, while Ukraine have more men than Russia, Ukrainian police is catching their citizens on the streets like animals and throw into the battle with no preparation, while Russian volunteers at now have at least 2 months of preparation. Ukraine is fighting the war with quantity, while Russia is actually fighting with quality

  93. In total, we have that the explosion of the dam led to the flooding of settlements on the left bank of the Dnieper controlled by Russia, and the right bank of the river controlled by Ukraine is located on a hill. Russian army defensive positions were flooded, and higher up the river narrowed in the region where the Russian command did not even assume the possibility of a Ukrainian landing. In November 2022, Ukraine hit the dam with a HIMARS missile in an attempt to cut off the Russian troops' escape routes, which caused damage to the dam. And also because of the dam break, the Zaporozhye NPP and the Crimea will now be without water. But the Western media and the stupid Western population again blame Russia for everything. The undermining of the Kakhovskaya HPP is in no way beneficial to Russia, Ukraine did it. Ukraine blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP, and it is Ukraine's fault that there is a flood there now.

And I even tell you more - at first Russia really let Chechnya to be indepdendent, for 5 years, the war at the end of 1994 broke out because Yeltsin needed ratings in presidential elections (unlike Putin's era in the 90s there were fair elections, freedom and normal parlament in Russia). So this was supposed to be a small victorious war to "supress illegal separatists" and return to Russia its land. Yeltsin needed this for election. Majority of Russian population and political parties were against this war

  106.  @MegaEssin  about Crimea. Why are you even talking about history? You simply don't understand Russian point of view about this question. It is about people, it is about population who lives in it, it doesn't matter who was owner in the past - Roman Empire, Greece, Ottoman Empire, what is matters is that Russian territory with Russian population was given by the Soviets from Russia to Ukraine in 1954, while 60% of population, the wast majority, were Russians and only 15% of population were Ukrainians. This is what matters - Russian population that lived here for generations, this is their soil, soil of their ancestors, population that wanted to rejoin Russia, and since the collapse of USSR in 1991 there were massive protests and separatism in Crimea which Ukrainian police brutally supressed. As you have said Crimea had an autonomic status, and its own parlament, and also you have said that on referendum in 1991 57% of Crimeans voted for independence of Ukraine from USSR. Probably you were trying to justify that Crimeans supported Ukraine. No, the fact that they voted against Soviet Union doesn't mean that they voted for Ukraine. If Crimea was part of Russia in 1991, the same amount of 57% would have voted for independence of Russia from USSR. In 1994 Crimean parlament attempted to hold a referendum, because according to Soviet law in all autonomic regions of USSR there must have been held a referendum. Russia didn't violated the law, and in 1993 there were few referendums in all autonomic regions inside Russia, and for example Tatarstan became independent of Russia in 1993. Ukraine supressed with police 1994 attempt to hold a vote. And also you are wrong about Soviet period - Crimea wasn't given to Ukraine to boost its economy, because Ukraine itself was unprofitable and Russia paid money to Ukraine, because profits were lower then expenses in planning economy and only Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan had resources. And under Ukraine in 1991-2013 Crimea became one of the poorest regions in Ukraine while Ukraine was more poor than Russia. So your whole point is just a Ukrainian propaganda, like "poor undeveloped Russians in 1954 gave Crimea to Ukraine to boost its economy", Ukrainians like to tell this fairy tale, while reality is opposite to this - inside Soviet Union Russia was paying for Ukraine and after USSR ended Ukraine became the most failed post Soviet country in terms of economy with Crimea being very poor. Crimea was given to Ukraine for burecratic reasons inside Soviet government, because peninsula had land connection only with Ukraine so all gas, water and electricity supply was from Ukraine, and there were burecratic reasons to give Crimea to Ukraine in 1954, also because Soviet elites in 1954 would have never thoight that USSR will collapse one day. I don't know why you mentioned Crimean War of 1856 and that "Evil Russia violated treaty just 14 years after it was signed". Like you expect any country to respect a deal that was signed under the pressure. I don't know why, but when Russia multiple times tries to make a deal, West declines it, and West makes a deals with Russia only by putting Russia under the pressure and expect that we will not violate it in the future. What a stupid thinking. French and British army forced Russia to make a signature on some paper making some deal that Russia had no right to have navy in Crimea. 14 years later there was a Franco-Prussian War, so while French were s%cking d%cks we have returned our navy to Crimea because French and British can s%ck our d%cks too. None of deal that was made under pressure will work with us in the longterm, you just have to understand this, but it seems like Zelensky and Europran clowns don't understand this. Also, you are wrong about Soviet policy and like you said "Russification". During Russian Empire there was NO such policy, and opposite - Russia was ruled by German dynasty and Germans were even invited to live on the Volga river, while Russians, Ukrainians and others didn't bothored this German dynasty and were equally slaves for them. Soviets also weren't russifying anyone. Soviets had a communist ideology and their national policy had a goal to actually destroy Russia and destroy Russian nation, culture and identity, and replace it with new built Soviet identity and make an entire new Soviet nation. The so called "Russification" allegedly done by the Soviets is part of Western and Ukrainian propaganda. Soviets were Sovetizing everyone, not Russifying, and Soviets had a goal of World Revolution, they had an ideology of making an entire World communist and Soviet. They weren't russifying anyone. In fact, Soviet propaganda, movies and policy was promoting national minorities. Ukrainian language, culture and history was highly promoted on Ukrainian territory by Soviets. Nearly half of people who lived on Ukrainian soil in 1917 called themselves Russians. Ukrainian national identity, language and culture barely existed in 1917. And it were the Soviets who promoted this. So, your whole point is incorrect and opposite to truth - Soviets weren't Russifying Ukraine, Soviets were making a policy of Ukrainization of Ukraine. In 1917 Lenin gave Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporojie and Kherson lands to Ukraine, after Russia lost a war to Germany and Germans occupied Ukraine, demanding these grain rich lands from Russia, because there was a hunger in Germany in 1917 because of British navy blocade. So, in 1917 Lenin gave to Ukraine Russian lands which Russian army now controls, and Soviet Union was promoting Ukrainian language, culture and history, there was a Ukrainization policy, not Russification. And in 1954 Soviets gave Russian Crimea to Ukraine and there was a 40 years long Ukrainization policy in Crimea. There was no Russification policy in USSR - Lenin was Jewish national and German paid revolutionarie, Stalin was Georgian national, Trotsky was Jewish, Kamenev and Zinoviev were Jewish. Russia as a result of illegal communist coup and bloody civil war was conquered and occupied by communist Jewish international bandit group, and their policy for 70 years was to destroy the core - destroy the Russian national identity, while promoting all other national identities - Soviets were promoting Ukrainian language, culture and history in Ukraine, like they did in Belarus, Kazakhstan and everywhere else except Russia itself. With regards to Stalin's crimes against Crimean Tatars and national minorities - Stalin was a Georgian national evil dictator who killed much more Russians than everyone else. You are wrong if you think that Georgian national Stalin did all these crimes in favour of Russia or to russify anyone, Stalin did all this crimes to protect Soviet Union from separatism and minorities who wanted independence. Its not about russification, it is about Sovietization. With regards to referendum - yeah, it was made without vote standards. But unlike Ukraine, Russia at least held the referendum, while Ukraine in 1994 supressed it with police. And also - Ukrainian protestors from Kiev, that made a coup in 2014 didn't held any referendums also, they just forcefully changed the government. So, why are you expecting a fair election from Russia, while Ukrainians who made a coup in Kiev didn't held any election at all. Ukrainians from Kiev made a coup without asking everyone else's opinion, so the Russians did the same in Crimea. With regards to "Russian human right defender" who told that "turnout in Crimea was 30-50%". How do he know that from Moscow? Do you know that majority of such "journalists" or "human right defenders" in Russia were American paid foreign agents on USAID funding? It is silly to believe the personal opinion of one human rights defender when there is no real proof to his words at all. If you want to understand the truth, you should visit Crimea and talk with Crimean people itself. I have a few friends from Crimea in my university in Moscow, job, I have met Crimeans when I was in school. Majority of Russian population of Crimea supported reunification with Russia. 15% of Ukrainian population were against of course. Opinion of Crimean Tatars doesn't matter because Crimean Tatars want to be independent from BOTH Ukraine and Russia, so if we choos between Ukraine and Russia, opinion of Tatars doesn't matter and we have 60% of Russian and 15% of Ukrainian population. In 2014 Crimea returned to its native harbor after decades of foreign occupation and people of Crimea supported this.

  108. War is a very expensive and financially costly business. You need a lot of money to supply troops by ammo and equipment, you need a strong economy. Wars are won by economics and logistics, not arrows on the map. Ukraine is a poor corrupt post-Soviet country. Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, if we don't count Russia as a European country. Corruption and poverty was everywhere in Ukraine even before the war started. And when the war actuallu started, Ukraine's economy simply collapsed as a result of migration and mobilization. The Ukrainian economy has suffered much more from the war, than the Russian economy suffered from sanctions. Without the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have been defeated a long time ago. For the last 15 months, West provided Ukraine with about 200 billion euros of financial assistance. These are six annual state budgets of Ukraine. Three annual budgets (72 months) of the country for 15 months of 2022-23. 25 Ukrainian military budgets. Before the war, in 2021, for example, Ukraine spent about 8 billion euros on the army, about 20% of the state budget. In last 15 months, Ukraine was allocated 200 billion euros of financial assistance. Without this help, Ukraine would not be able to wage war for economic reasons, and Russian tanks would have been in Odessa and Kyiv for a long time. If not for the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have capitulated in the summer of 2022. And Russia, in fact, is not fighting against Ukraine. Russia is fighting against the entire Western Bloc. As for arms supplies, they amount to about $50 billion. Russia spent so much money before the war on rearmament of the army in 5 years. Ukraine has exhausted its reserves of Soviet artillery ammunition and is now fighting with American artillery and American ammunition. Without these American guns, Ukraine would have no guns at all. At the same time, Ukraine fires several times less ammunition every day than Russia. And even so, Britain, the USA and Poland do not have enough production capacity to provide the AFU. Their production is lower than consumption. If it were not for the support of the West, Russia would have already captured the whole of Ukraine twice. In 2023 West increased the scale of military assistance to Ukraine. Without this help, Ukraine would have been defeated a long time ago, and one cannot say that allegedly "Russia cannot defeat one weak Ukraine." Because Russia is fighting not only against Ukraine, but against Ukraine with huge support from the West, and this support, from an economic point of view, many times exceeds the capabilities of the Russian economy. The reason for all the failures and defeats of the Russian army is the insufficient initial number of troops. On February 24, 2022, when the war began, Russia fielded only about 100 thousand soldiers against Ukraine. Plus several tens of thousands of soldiers from the DPR and LPR. There were about 150 thousand soldiers in Ukraine already on the first day of the war. That is, at the beginning of the war, the number of the two armies was comparable. And as you know, a numerical advantage of at least one and a half times is needed for a successful offensive. Ukraine began to mobilize already on the first day of the war. In the first two months of the war, the Russian army was still able to move somewhere, but over time the Russian offensive stalled, due to the fact that Ukraine had been mobilizing since the first day of the war, and the number of the Ukrainian army was growing every day. The Russian offensive is bogged down by superior Ukrainian numbers. In the first seven months, Russia fought against Ukraine with a relatively small contingent of contract soldiers, without conscripts and without mobilization. Thanks to the numerical superiority that the APU accumulated during the 7 months of the war, the APU was able to launch a successful offensive in September 2022. But the Ukrainian army won stupidly due to numerical superiority. In other words, it's not an equal fight. In equal conditions, the Russian army demonstrated a much higher combat capability in March 2022. As of mid-April 2022, the Russians have seized territory in Ukraine the size of England. Do not forget that the Ukrainian army is much stronger than the French, German or British army. Ukraine on February 24, 2022 had ~ 150 thousand soldiers and 1000 tanks, the AFU is the largest army in Europe. For comparison, Britain in 2021 had about 70 thousand soldiers and 200 tanks. Germany has 80,000 soldiers and 400 tanks, and France had 120,000 soldiers and 600 tanks in 2021. As of February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian army was the most numerous and mechanized in all of Europe, not counting the Russian army. It is quite easy to defeat the Russian army when Russia is fighting without mobilization, when Russia is fighting without conscripts, when Russia is fighting with a limited contingent of 100 thousand soldiers, and you already have a comparable army on the first day of the war, and you are mobilizing from the first day of the war, and the West also gives you unlimited resources to wage war. Unlimited amount of money, a huge amount of weapons. And in the end, despite all these weapons, despite all this help, despite the numerical superiority of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia still wins in the end - 60% of the Kherson region, half of the Zaporozhye region, 80% of the Luhansk region have been occupied by Russia since February 24, 2022 and Russia holds this territory against Western tanks and tens of billions of US dollars as military aid.

В чем логика действий Кремля? Кремль вторжением в Украину хотел не допустить расширения НАТО на Восток, но вторжением лишь подтолкнул другие государства вблизи российских границ вступить в НАТО. В чем логика? Зачем было тогда начинать спецоперацию в Украине? Мы не только не остановили расширение НАТО, вторжение в Украину лишь усугубило расширение НАТО на Восток, лишь усугубило положение России, ибо теперь в НАТО вступит Швеция и Финляндия, которые до начала спецоперации были нейтральными государствами. Да и НАТО нам не угрожает - у России есть ядерное оружие. Каким образом вступление Украины в НАТО угрожало России, если у России есть ядерный арсенал, который гарантирует, что на Россию никто никогда не нападет?

  117. ​ @briceagvlad4086  mobilization isn't related to casualities, it is related to strength ratio of two armies. Russia fought against Ukraine without mobilization with small army of 150 thousand soldiers while Ukraine had an army of 220 thousand men at the start of the war and Ukraine was mobilizing from the start of the war, so in september 2022 there were 400 thousand Ukrainian soldiers and 180 thousand Russian soldiers and Ukraine with 2.5 to 1 numerical superiority achieved breakthrough in Kharkov region. So, Russia conducted one wave of mobilization not because of casualities - this is completely not the case because in september 2022 Russian army was even bigger than in the start of the war, but because it is impossible to fight and not lose against the enemy who have 2-3 times more soldiers than you

In total, we have that the explosion of the dam led to the flooding of settlements on the left bank of the Dnieper controlled by Russia, and the right bank of the river controlled by Ukraine is located on a hill. Russian army defensive positions were flooded, and higher up the river narrowed in the region where the Russian command did not even assume the possibility of a Ukrainian landing. In November 2022, Ukraine hit the dam with a HIMARS missile in an attempt to cut off the Russian troops' escape routes, which caused damage to the dam. And also because of the dam break, the Zaporozhye NPP and the Crimea will now be without water. But the Western media and the stupid Western population again blame Russia for everything. The undermining of the Kakhovskaya HPP is in no way beneficial to Russia, Ukraine did it. Ukraine blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP, and it is Ukraine's fault that there is a flood there now.

  124. The Russians left Kherson because the Ukrainians had destroyed all the bridges across the Dnieper with the help of American precision weapons, and the Russian troops did not have normal supplies and reinforcements. Moreover, the Russians left this region in an organized manner, without a fight. Russian troops were not defeated on the battlefield near Kherson. As for the successes of Ukraine, it is important to understand that Russia, until the end of September, did not fight against Ukraine at full strength. Russia fought for 7 months without mobilization and without conscripts, using only volunteers. Ukraine, on the contrary, has been mobilizing since the first day of the war. It is clear that the Ukrainians have accumulated a numerical superiority, and were able to achieve success. However, after the Ukrainian successes, Russia announced mobilization - Putin did not want to announce mobilization for a long time because of the risks of revolution and unrest in the country. But when the Ukrainian army has a numerical superiority of one and a half to two times, they defeat us. Therefore, it is necessary to equalize the number of armies. Mobilized Russian troops are now arriving at the front, which means that the Ukrainian army will soon be unable to achieve any success at all. Because the population of Russia is 3.5 times larger. Russia can pull so many troops to the front that the Ukrainians will not achieve anything. This is where the war will end.

My father thinks that the evacuation of the population and the withdrawal of troops is a sign that they want to use chemical weapons. Or maybe nuclear.

This means that Russia was using professional contract troops, while Ukraine was using 18 years old poorly equipped and poorly trained conscripts, and poorly trained and poorly equipped Ukrainian mobilized. Also Russia have advantage in artillery. There is no doubt that Ukrainian casualities were higher up to october 2022, when Russia also started mobilization.

  158. At the start of the war Russia had 150 thousand soldiers, DPR abd LPR had 30 thousand and Wagner entered the war on march 17th 2022 with few thousand soldiers. Ukraine had 220 thousand soldiers at the start of the war and mobilized 30-40 thousand per month for last 3 years. Russia have 4 times more population than Ukraine, so if Russia fought a war against Ukraine with mobilization since the start, then Russia would have taken all of Ukraine in first 6 months with 2 million strong army, before the end of 2022. But Russia was limiting itself and fighting a war with limited force of volunteers against NUMERICALLY superior Ukrainian army. So, there is NOTHING SHAMEFUL in fact that Russia didn't managed to quickly capture Ukraine. You have very exagerrated expectations about Russian military, fueled by Western mass media and Western propaganda that always showed Russian army as extremely strong force. But your expectations are your problem, your over-expectations made by Western propaganda are your problem, this is how pre-war military propaganda works - you overestimate military power of your future opponent and when real situation doesn't fit with your over-expectations you call your enemy weak, while in reality you are even weaker - I doubt that ANY European army is capable to fight in Ukraine more effective than Russian, the results Russian army showed are greater than any other army in the World can theoretically get, considering the fact that Russia is simply limiting itself and fighting without mobilization by limited army of volunteers

  159. @European_Liberal  1) You are wrong, Iraqi army was numerically smaller than Coalition and even US army alone. Of course Russia wanted to use the unexpectancy to quickly capture Kiev WITHOUT the fight while most of the Ukrainian army will be busy elsewhere. And CIA with US satellite intelligence told Ukrainians about hidden Russian forces in the forests, so Ukrainians expected this push and waited in ambush. But my point was that no one ever said about "Second strongest army in the World" in Russia. 2) Russia is limiting herself even at now - there is no mobilization in Russia right now, and Russia doesn't use conscript army, Russia instead is paying huge money to volunteers to join the army and fight, while Ukraine is mobilizing dozens of thousand per month and ran out from volunteers. If Russia wasn't limiting herself since the start of the war and mobilized 100 thousand men per month, Ukraine couldn't live to 2023.

  174. Россия воюет не в полную силу, а на момент отступления из под Киева год назад Россия воевала маленьким контингентом в 100 тысяч солдат контрактников, а на Киев наступала пара дивизий. Неудивительно, что ничего не получилось. А вообще, целью России было по всей видимости установление лояльного правительства, но на случай, если Киев не удастся взять с наскока у России был план переговоров. По плану, войска, подведенные к Киеву, должны были испугать украинское политическое руководство и склонить Украину к переговорам. Однако Украина отказалась вести какие либо переговоры, и Россия вывела войска с севера Украины, в расчете на то, чтобы перевести их на Донбасс для наступления там, которое уже должно было склонить Украину к переговорам.

  176.  @figerdron_8972  I live in Russia - the so-called "partial mobilization" has no legal basis. War has not been declared, martial law is not in force on the territory of Russia, a special operation is underway. Since there is no martial law, there can be no grounds for mobilization. And our government is well aware of this. That's why the Department of Defense sends out "document reconciliation notices" that I can safely ignore. And those people who came to the military registration and enlistment offices to "verify documents" were immediately offered to sign a military contract and become a volunteer. Nobody was forced. In fact, on September 21, 2022, Putin simply announced the recruitment of 300,000 volunteers. Russia is still fighting only volunteers.

  177.  @figerdron_8972  Putin was afraid when he announced the recruitment of 300,000 volunteers. I remember it very well. Initially, his performance was expected on the evening of September 20. However, his speech was constantly postponed and cancelled. And then in the morning, Putin's hesitant speech, recorded on camera, was shown, obviously not from the first take. Putin delayed the mobilization for 7 months, until the front began to crumble in the Kharkov region, and then very hesitantly announced the recruitment of volunteers. Putin is afraid to fight at full strength.

В основном же все мобилизованные это добровольцы, которым либо по мозгам проехались в военкомате, либо пообещали зарплату в 300 тысяч рублей. А так по сути можно было придти в военкомат и спокойно отказаться от этой мобилизации

  179. 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.

  182. In 2014 USA backed with money and propaganda a revolution, coup in Ukraine, changing power in this country, while Russia was investing money into Ukraine for years since 2000s. So USA basically robbed Russia, and Russia as an answer captured Crimea. Russia came for its share of Ukraine. This is how this war started, basically. Russia just wants its share which USA simply stolen from Russia by organizing a revolution in Ukraine. Crimea is just basically Russian territory with MAJORITY of 60% of population being Russians, and just minority of 16% of Ukrainians, which was transfered from Russia to Ukraine by Soviet government. After the collapse of USSR Russia wanted friendship and cooperation with Ukraine, and Russia recognized Crimea as Ukrainian. But American backed revolution in Ukraine changed this and Russia came to liberate Crimea at first place, and Crimean Russian population wanted to reunite with Russia for years, they are still happy that they are in Russia and support Putin and SMO. Later Russia played reverse UNO card and backed coups in the Donbass, leading to creation of Donetsk and Luhansk separatists, who declared independence from Ukraine. But instead of going to war, Putin wanted to trade this territory back to Ukraine in exchange of Russian political influence on Ukraine. And Putin had a very good deal with Ukrainian president Poroshenko, but they both made 2 mistakes - Putin lost control over Donbass rebels and they didn't wanted to make a peace deal with Uktaine. The same way Putin lost control over Prigojin and Wagner group in 2023. While Ukrainian president Poroshenko lost control over his parliament and Ukrainian parliament also rejected peace deal. So, Putin and Poroshenko made another deal - Ukraine DIDN'T returned Donbass back, but Russia was allowed to invest money into media and political parties inside Ukraine, and pro-Russian party was leading elections on 2nd place in Ukrainian parliament with 20% of vote, until Zelensky came to power and started censorship and purges against free media and his opponents in Ukraine. So, Russia lost the only one peaceful mean of influence over Ukraine and Russia used military soultion. At now Trump is ready to make a deal with Russia dividing Ukraine 50/50. Nothing personal, just business. USA have backed with money and media revolution, change of power in Ukraine in 2014, so Russia which invested money, territories and people into Ukraine was robbed, USA simply have stolen everything from Russia, and at now USA are taking responsibility for their actions, and using diplomacy instead of war. Russia IS reliable ally and partner, unlike European Union, and in early 2000s there was an attempt of friendship between USA and Russia. When 9/11 attack happened, Putin was the first president in the World who called American president, and Russia even allowed its airspace and territory for American army going to war on terror in Afghanistan. USA and Russia need to be at least neutral and not cause problems to each other.

  183.  @LBJHater9000  Russia has never controlled these fields, so in essence Russia has not lost anything. How do you imagine it? Troops cannot be in an open field that was previously used for agriculture, by standards one such field is several square kilometers without a single shelter, an artificial forest belt has been laid between these fields. Do you think Russian troops are taking positions right in the field? Of course not. Russian and Ukrainian troops are sitting in the forest belt, and these huge potato fields are a gray area. It's just that for some reason this gray zone was marked in red on the map, like it is under Russian control. And now the Ukrainian offensive has begun, and they have marked the field in blue. Although in reality there were not even Russian troops there. The Ukrainians simply came out of hiding into a potato field, where they are shot as if in a shooting range. And for 3 days of the Ukrainian offensive, judging by the map, the Ukrainian troops could not advance beyond the borders of this field. Those. in fact, the Ukrainians simply went into an open field without shelters, where they were shot for 3 days by Russians from shelters, and this potato field is now marked in blue on the map.

  187. Путин говорит, что целью спецоперации на Украине является якобы защита Донбасса, дескать, украинцы давили русских сепаратистов последние 8 лет, 8 лет на Донбассе шла война, и мы должны это прекратить. Тут мы видим первое проявление лицемерия России - давайте вспомним войну в Чечне, которая тоже была войной на подавление сепаратистов. Чечня хотела отделиться от России, чеченцы подняли вооруженное восстание за свою независимость. Ельцин ввел войска в Чечню для "восстановления конституционного порядка и территориальной целостности РФ". Если Россия имела право давить своих сепаратистов, то почему Украина и Грузия не имеют права давить своих сепаратистов? Если Россия имела право военным путем давить стремление кавказских сепаратистов к независимости, и Российская Федерация безусловно считает себя правой стороной в конфликте 1994-96 годов, то почему Украина не могла также подавить восстание на Донбассе? Что это за двойные стандарты и лицемерие со стороны России? Это первый момент. Второй момент заключается в том, что на встрече с генсеком ООН, Путин еще в начале в своей речи сказал генеральному секретарю ООН, что Россия уважает устав ООН. Только вот прикол заключается в том, что согласно уставу ООН, вооруженное восстание является незаконным способом получения независимости. А значит, повстанцы Донбасса, согласно уставу ООН, который Россия уважает, на независимость права не имели, также как никем не признанные суверенными чеченские сепаратисты. И согласно уставу ООН, который по словам Путина Россия уважает, Украина имела полное право подавить сепаратистов, также, как это делала Россия в Чечне. Путин лжет через слово. Редкостный цинник. Третий момент касается уже не позиции Путина, а собственно самих сепаратистов. Путин говорит, что в 2014 году значит русские восстали на Донбассе, и Российская Федерация не могла остаться в стороне. Во-первых, начнем с того, что русские на Донбассе - это меньше половины населения. В Крыму, Донецке, Луганске и Мариуполе в 2014 русские это около 40% населения, когда как украинцы это 60% населения Донбасса. Глупо думать, что прямо все русские, которые составляют 40% населения Донбасса, в 2014 поддерживали идею сепаратизма и отделения от Украины. Так каким образом жалкое меньшинство населения имело право выбирать будущее большинства? Далеко не все русские, которые на Донбассе составляют 40% населения, хотели в Россию. Теперь поговорим про украинский национализм. Вот Путин любит говорить, что в Украине во власти сидят анти-российские националисты. Но почему то Путин забывает, что Россия сама виновата в том, что в Украине произошел рост национализма. Россия в 2014 оккупировала украинский Крым, который находился в составе Украинской Советской Республики еще с 50-х, и где в 2013 году украинцы составляли более половины населения. Также Россия проспонсировала создание ДНР и ЛНР - по сути марионеточных правительств на Востоке Украины, через которые Кремль 8 лет вел войну против Украины. Если вы нападаете на другую страну, не надо удивляться, что там растет национализм, направленный против вас. Границы Украины с Крымом и Донбассом Россия признавала и в 1956, и в 1991 и в 1994 году, когда РФ и Украина подписали соглашения в Будапеште, согласно которым Россия обязалась защищать независимость Украины взамен на то, что Украина откажется от ядерного оружия в пользу России. Да и спецоперация лишь увеличит количество националистов в Украине, ведь теперь Россию там просто ненавидят, хотя до войны в Украине было много про-российских людей. Так в чем смысл спецоперации, если она нацифицирует Украину? Спецоперация Путина лишь усугубила проблему национализма и русофобии в Украине. Нацистов и русофобов в Украине в результате начала спецоперации стало ГОРАЗДО больше, чем было до 24 февраля. Теперь поговорим про защиту русских людей на Донбассе - я думаю, русские люди в Мариуполе будут очень "благодарны" российским войскам за "освобождение от украинских нацистов". За 2 месяца войны между Россией и Украиной на Донбассе от российского оружия погибло уже больше людей, чем от действий украинской армии в прошлые 8 лет конфликта. Отлично защитили их. Мариуполь, самый русскоязычный город Украины, российские военные превратили в такие руины, каких не было за предыдущие 8 лет войны, убив тысячи мирных жителей. Люди в тех регионах Донбасса, в которых в последние 8 лет войны не было, будут очень благодарны российским освободителям за рузрушенные дома и убийства. Освободители недоделанные.

  204.  @dhjijejd6980  In Ukraine, with the supply and military industry, things are much worse than in Russia. A typical Ukrainian soldier is worse equipped than a Russian, the Ukrainian army has terrible supplies. Ukraine has no military industry at all - the Ukrainian army is cannon fodder, which fights with Soviet equipment from the era of dinosaurs. We Russians, although we modernized Soviet tanks, changed engines there, changed armor, improved everything to meet modern standards. And the Ukrainians are fighting on what was produced at the Soviet plant in the 70s. Well, they get some Western weapons, although we have analogues. In addition, we are totally superior to Ukraine in missile weapons and aviation.
    2
  205.  @dhjijejd6980  Russia really lost a lot of professional and trained contract troops that were at the beginning of the war. And these professionals are now being replaced by untrained recruits mobilized in haste. However, for some reason you forget that Ukraine has also lost a significant share of its professional contract army. At the beginning of the war, Ukraine had 70,000 contract soldiers and 150,000 conscripts. Russia started the war with about 120,000 contract soldiers, as well as about 80,000 conscripts from the DPR and LPR. The losses of Ukraine are higher, because in modern warfare, 95% of the losses are caused by artillery, and Russia is totally superior to Ukraine in artillery and aviation. In addition, Russian professional contract troops are superior to Ukrainian 18-year-old conscripts in terms of training and combat capability. There is no doubt that until Ukraine began to receive American precision weapons, Ukrainian losses were much higher. Thus, Ukraine has lost at least as much of its original contract professional army as Russia.
    2
  206.  @dhjijejd6980  Regarding the loss of territories, I already wrote to you - Ukraine has been mobilizing from the first day of the war, while Russia has been fighting against Ukraine for 7 months not at full strength, using a limited contingent of volunteers from among contract soldiers. It is clear that after 7 months of the war, thanks to mobilization, the Ukrainians simply accumulated a numerical superiority and launched a successful offensive near Kharkov. However, they achieved success only due to their numerical superiority. Now that Russia has also mobilized, there will be no more successful Ukrainian offensives.
    2
  207.  @dhjijejd6980  And what about the reduction of contracts on the arms trade? It is clear that during the war everything goes to their own needs, and not for sale. But the fact is that Russia is one of the largest producers of weapons, and you, the clown, are trying to tell me that we allegedly cannot arm the army. Although Ukraine has a much worse situation with the military industry and supply than we do. In general, they use Soviet rubbish, and we have modified equipment. The same T-72-b3 tank of 2016, which corresponds in terms of performance characteristics to American tanks of the late 2000s and early 2010s
    2
  208.  @dhjijejd6980  you are talking nonsense. At the beginning of the war, Ukraine had 220,000 soldiers. Russia has about 120-150 thousand. Putin launched a so-called special operation, i.e. an undeclared war against Ukraine, provided that 1) conscripts are not used, and conscripts are about half of the Russian army 2) Only volunteers fight among contract soldiers, while they have vacations and the opportunity to terminate the contract. Russia has only 1,013,000 soldiers. However, out of this million there are only 320 thousand infantrymen. If we add the Airborne Forces and the Marines, Russia will not have 400 thousand soldiers. At the same time, half of these 400 thousand are conscripts who do not participate in the special operation. Russia and the L-DPR started the war, having somewhere around 150 thousand soldiers against 220 thousand Ukrainians

Russian troops advance in jerks after prolonged shelling by artillery, and in fact the same potato field was occupied by Russian troops in a couple of days in a jerk, like the Ukrainians. Ukraine generally sat on the defensive for 3 months, and only now began the offensive. But I'm not saying that Ukraine allegedly could not recapture this field for 3 months

  214. There will be no defeat for Russia in any case - the Russian army is stuck in Ukraine, because there is no mobilization in Russia, because war has not been declared, and this is called a "special operation". Since there is no military mobilization in Russia, the army remained at the pre-war level in terms of numbers, the Ukrainian army now has a numerical advantage over the Russian troops. Since Putin has not declared war, contract soldiers in Russia are even able to refuse military service in Ukraine, and the Russian command is still afraid to throw conscripts to the front - there are conscripts in Ukraine, but their minority, and in Russia more than 10 military enlistment offices have already been set on fire, mothers protest, and there was even a withdrawal of some units from Ukraine to bases in Russia. In fact, Russia is fighting against Ukraine in a quarter of its strength, with a pre-war army, without mobilization, without strategic aviation. And the Russian invasion group was still inferior in numbers to the defending Ukrainian army on February 24, despite the fact that the attacking side, according to the laws of military science, all other things being equal, bears heavy losses. Russian Russian troops were unable to capture a significant share of Ukrainian territories and got bogged down - the Russians attacked in a numerical minority, and there is no mobilization in Russia itself, since war has not been declared, and by the third month of the war the Ukrainians have a numerical advantage. However, it is worth recognizing that Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, and Russian troops have actually achieved good success, taking an area the size of half of Italy or a third of Germany. And the Ukrainian army has shown itself no better - the Ukrainians are also very slow to counterattack, slow to advance, even slower than the Russian troops. So whose cow would still be mumbling about how bad the Russian army is. If Zelensky does not sign a peace with territorial concessions, and the war continues, then over time, especially if the Russian army loses, Putin will simply declare a real war and begin mobilization. And then Ukraine will be simply doomed. Russia has more than three times more population than Ukraine - 146 million against 41. The military industry and the potential are much higher. If the Ukrainians do not make territorial concessions, and moreover, if the Ukrainians win, they will start a countdown timer. In Russia, there will be mobilization and restructuring of the economy on military rails. If Ukrainians win, they will lose. Zelensky says in vain that there will be no negotiations with Russia until the Russians leave Crimea and Donbass. The Russians will not leave Crimea and Donbass, and if the Ukrainians try to take it by force, Russia will go out of the special operation mode into the real war mode. Russian Russian army will be able to take even Kiev with a three-fold numerical superiority, as practice shows that the ratio of losses between the Russian and Ukrainian armies is approximately equal, the level of training and combat capability of the two armies is approximately equal.

So Ukrainians in order to conduct Kursk operation weakened their defensive line in the Donbass, allowing Russians to capture 2 thousand more square kilometers, and Ukrainians sacrficed this in order to capture some Russian land that they also lost.

In 2022 Russia barely had 10 thousand volunteers per month

  227. ​ @Tortellobello45  in your dreams buddy. NATO already gave 200 billion $ of military and financial aid to Ukraine, and despite this help Ukraine still losing territory to Russia, having up to 100 000 KIA casualities. Alsp Russia was fighting against Ukraine in not full strength for the first few months. And despite this Russia is winning a war against coalition of 30 Western countries

  228. The goal of Russia at now is to freeze the war, Russia talks about negotiations since february 2023. The Russian advances have the aim to make victory in informational war, not actual - more and more people on the West are changing their opinion on question of supplying Ukraine with weapons. So, for Russia stability of capturing land is more important than scale, and for Russia victory, is victory in informational war. With current speed of advances Russia will never capture all 4 regions, it will took enternity. But Russia will convince the Western people that all Western help to Ukraine of hundreeds of billions dollars doesn't matter , and they can't change the trend of small, but stable Russian advances, so there would be a freezing of the conflict and symbolic victory of Russia - Russia, a regional power have defeated United States, a superpower, in their hybrid war against Russia, while Russia have 10 times smaller economy. A regional power have defeated a superpower in its region, where United States were expanding their NATO. Chinese would think: "If Russia have succeded, so we also can do it", China unlike Russia have comparable economy with USA, and after Russian symbolic victory Chinese would invade Taiwan, and World would be on the way to multipolarity. Just keep in mind that Asia is growing, and just 40 years ago American economy was a 40% of World economy, while at now it is two times smaller - 20%. American influence across the World have significantly dropped for the last 40 years, and this trend is also inevitable. It will took another 30-40 years untill World would become Multipolar, there would be a dozen of regional powers who, combined, would be much more powerful than 2 superpowers of USA and China, Russia as a state is fighting for its place under Sun in the future, and Ukrainian territories are unimportant right now. When there would be new World order Russia would own Ukraine without conquering it, like Belarus right now in Russian sphere of influence

  233.  @ryuakuma732  And in general there is a huge difference between the Crimea and other territories of Ukraine. Crimea is truly Russian territory. In 2014, in Crimea, 60% of the population were Russians, 20% of the population were Tatars, 16% of the population were Ukrainians, and 4% were the rest. There were more than three times more Russians in Crimea than Ukrainians. In fact, Crimea is an absolutely Russian territory, which is not clear how it ended up in Ukraine. In 1954, Khrushchev gave Ukraine the Russian land, which is inhabited by the Russian population. In general, Khrushchev was a bad politician - he ruined agriculture, quarreled with China, harmed the economy. And handed over the Crimea to Ukraine. The worst ruler of the USSR.

  234.  @ryuakuma732  In addition, territories are not important for us, we are already the largest country in the world. We are fighting for the people. And everyone who wanted to be evacuated to the territories controlled by Russia was evacuated before the retreat of our troops from near Kherson. About 100 thousand people from Kherson were evacuated to the left bank of the Dnieper. The regions of the south-east of Ukraine are inhabited by Russian people. In Crimea in 2014, 60% of the population was Russian. When our army began to seize the Crimea, the local people rejoiced and greeted our soldiers as liberators. People in Crimea have been waiting for 23 years for the moment when they will return home to Russia. In eastern Ukraine, 50% of the population is Russian and 50% Ukrainian. In the south of Ukraine, 30-40% of the population are Russians. Why did this war even start and why did we decide in 2014 to regain Crimea? You see, there was a coup d'état in Ukraine and the pro-Russian government was overthrown by pro-Western and anti-Russian politicians. Therefore, we were forced, we simply had no choice but to protect the Russian people in Crimea from the anti-Russian revolutionaries who had seized power in Kyiv. Russian people, citizens of Ukraine, went out in 2014 to protest against that coup d'etat and the overthrow of the pro-Russian president. By taking Crimea, we defended their right to self-determination. And the Ukrainian army agreed to voluntarily leave the Crimea. Ukrainian officers shook hands with our officers, 20 thousand Ukrainian soldiers left the Crimea without a fight. Because they knew that Crimea is Russian territory.

United States are ABLE to give Ukraine as much military help as will be enough to completely defeat Russia, but they aren't doing it, they are giving very small and insufficient help for Ukraine on PURPOSE, this is their goal - to give Ukraine NOT ENOUGH help so this war of attrition against Russia will continue and their military industrial complex will have profits.

Also we must understand HOW the West is giving help to Ukraine, the billions of dollars which United States are spending aren't going to Ukraine, this money are going to American military industry, which produces new weapons, while old weapons are going to Ukraine. So basically Ukraine doesn't even get this money, United States are paying this printed money to themselves and rearming THEIR OWN military, while Ukraine gets rotten old equipment from old storages

About Alaska - it were a fake news from second-sort and unpopular Western media in december 2023, Western media showed a fake scan of a document allegedly signed by Putin, which allegedly spoke about recognizing Alaska as Russian territory, but all this is not true, this document does not exist and Putin did not sign anything. It's just a fake. None of popular Western magazines like CNN or BBC ever showed this news. It were second sort "no name media" This is the first time I've heard about Finland, about the corridor to Kaliningrad between Poland and Lithuania - this is also the first time I've heard that Russia says it wants to seize it. I have only heard about this corridor from Western media and Western military analysts who say that in the event of a hypothetical war between Russia and NATO, this will be the most important thing for Russia, because Kaliningrad is isolated from the rest of Russia, but Russia itself has never said such a thing. At the same time it actually Poland who has been conducting military exercises for 20 years near the Russian border, where Poles are practicing the seizure of Russian territories. Russia has never conducted such military exercises near Polish border. You are talking complete nonsense, or rather the Western media is talking complete nonsense to keep the people in fear of Russia, to use Russia as a boogeyman for propaganda purposes, because the NATO alliance is a tool with which the United States spreads its influence over Europe. In 1945, after the Second World War, Europe lay in ruins, the economy was at the bottom. And then the Americans came and said that those states that join NATO will receive economic and financial assistance in debt from the United States - the so-called Marshall Plan. Read about the Marshall Plan. America is simply using NATO to put Europe in a dependent position. In 1951, the USSR applied to join NATO, because if we are in the same alliance, we will not pose threats to each other. The USSR's application to join NATO was rejected, which for Stalin became a clear signal that the NATO alliance is neither defensive nor peaceful, but an aggressive bloc of American imperialism, which is needed to divide and rule - to quarrel, to push Russia and Europe against each other. Russia is part of Europe, Russia is part of the European family, and the United States does everything to ignite a conflict between Russia and Europe, because until 2022, Russia was a competitor for Americans in the European gas and oil market. After the collapse of the USSR, Russia sought to join the European Union and NATO, and in 2002, Russia's application to join NATO was rejected when the whole of Europe was not against it. Russian Russian gas and oil are being cut off in Europe, and the economy is in recession, and Americans are buying Russian oil and gas on the black market and selling it to Europe at three times the price. Divide and rule

  256. After the collapse of Soviet Union Russia turned a blind eye to the fact that Russian territories with a Russian population were part of Ukraine, as long as Ukraine was friendly to Russia. But Russia can no longer allow Ukraine to own Russian lands with a Russian population, when an illegal coup took place in Ukraine in 2014 and a radical change of power happened to anti-Russian. Russian people, who make up the vast majority of the Crimean population, wanted to separate from Ukraine and return to Russia back in 1994, there was separatism back in the nineties. In 1994, the government of Ukraine was friendly to the government of Russia, since the President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, as well as the Presidents of Ukraine and Belarus, destroyed the Soviet Union together, and were friendly to each other. Untill Ukraine had at least NEUTRAL relationship with Russia, Russia wasn't interested in conquering anything. But in 2014, when there were mass protests of the local population in Crimea with the desire to secede from Ukraine, Russia could no longer betray and abandon its Russian people to their fate, and Russian troops peacefully and without a single shot came and occupied Crimea, which the local Russian population is still happy about, Crimea returned home in 2014. However, the Russian troops did not go further, did not capture the whole of Ukraine, because then this was not the goal, Russia did not want to capture Ukraine. If Russia had wanted to take over Ukraine in 2014, Russia would have easily done it in a month, without encountering any resistance from Ukrainian troops. Russia tried to avoid war, Russia tried to avoid conflict with the West, Russia tried to avoid sanctions, and the only reason why the war began in 2022 is because Ukraine wanted to take revenge, Ukraine wanted to regain Donetsk and Lugansk, which for some reason it considers its cities and territories, although the Russian people there rebelled for independence back in 2014. If Russia had not attacked Ukraine in 2022, the war would have started anyway, just in that case, Ukraine would have attacked the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics first. There is a saying - when a fight is inevitable, strike first. A fight was inevitable, Russia didn't wanted this, but Russia striked first

  258.  @celebrim1  you are talking nonesence. Your quote: "Russian troops entered the Donbass, fomented the rebellion, started an ethnic cleaning program, and Ukraine at the time after having gotten wiped out already had no army to speak off" (c) This is just ridiculous nonesence. First of all, according to Ukraine, Russian troops crossed the Ukrainian border only in september 2014, while the wat in the Donbass have started on april 2014. Russian troops have crossed the Ukrainian border after HALF OF A YEAR of war. War was already ongoing for half of year when Russian troops showed up on the frontline first time in the entire war. And how the Russians fomented rebellion? How it is even possible to foment the rebellion, when Russians are 50% of population of this region and there were massive protests, and vaste majority of men who were fighting against Ukrainian army were LOCALS. It were mostly LOCALS from the Donbass region who fought against Ukrainian army. Russian military came to save them only after half of a year of war, because they were at the blink of collapse. Everything you have said is just wrong - Ukrainian army had both numerical and technical superiority over rebels, and after half of year of war Ukraine was very close to victory, it seemed like Ukrainian victory is inevitable, and then at the last monent Russian forces crossed the border and saved Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. And Russian force was very small, something like 4 thousand soldiers, one brigade, because Putin wanted this intervention to be a secret. So, in fact there were 30-40 thousand rebels, few thousand Russian volunteers in DPR and LPR militias and few thousand Russian troops against 60-70 thousand Ukrainian army. And this war was fought mostly by Russian people from Donetsk and Luhansk who wanted to separate from Ukraine. Russian helping force was 3-5 thousand men, and because of mush higher quality Russia was able to achieve victories with this one brigade. Ethnic cleaning program? What are you talking about, you are brainwashed zombie. Tell me more about this program lol

  260.  @celebrim1  About what you said. Your quote is "Russian troops entered Donbass, fabricated an uprising, staged ethnic cleansing and defeated Ukraine because Ukraine did not have an army." This is complete nonsense. First, according to Ukraine itself, the Russian army crossed the border of Ukraine only in September 2014, while the war in Donbas began in April 2014. The war had been going on for half a year by the time the first Russian soldier first appeared on the front line. And it was mostly locals who fought there. Russians made up 50% of the population in Donbas and they wanted independence from Ukraine, and the vast majority of people who fought against Ukraine were Russian civilians, citizens of Ukraine, they were rebels. Russia only helped its Russian people with supplies of weapons, instructors and provisions, as NATO is now helping Ukraine. And the Ukrainian army was not defeated. Ukraine at that time had a huge military advantage over the rebels. Ukraine, of course, had a poorly equipped and untrained army, but ordinary civilians, the rebels, had it even worse, and Ukraine just smashed them for 6 months. Russian army came at the very last moment in September 2014 to save the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, protect their independence and protect the right of the Russian people to self-determination. Russian troops were very few there, because Putin wanted to keep everything a secret from the population of Russia and the whole World, so there were incredibly few troops there - literally one brigade, 3-5 thousand Russian soldiers, but due to technological superiority and training, they were able to defeat the superior Ukrainian forces and establish balance on the front line. However, due to the too small number of troops, Russia could not advance further and the war in Donbass was similar to what is happening now - there were long positional battles like in the First World War. There were 60-70 thousand Ukrainian soldiers against 40-50 thousand rebels and about 10 thousand Russian soldiers and mercenaries.

  262. Russia is no longer aiming to seize territories. Russia is now trying to keep under control what it has. And to this end, Russia is doing what is called in military language "holding the initiative." Russian troops carry out small attacks on Ukrainian positions, and then return back. You need to attack in order to have an advantage in initiative over the enemy, then the enemy will not be able to attack you. Your enemy cannot attack you, if you attack, your enemy will have to defend himself. Russia attacks in several sectors of the front - near Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka and Vuhledar, so Ukraine cannot attack and Russia holds the territory

  265. ​ @HarryHoppins  you know nothing about how economy works. "Left of the Soviet era" - really? Soviet Union collapsed 33 years ago, and Soviet economy was a governmental monopoly isolated from the World with ban of foreign goods in the market. Soviet economy produced everything from food to TVs and cars, but because of isolation and ban of foreign goods there was NO COMPETITION, and the quality of most of Soviet goods was worser compared to the market economy. Isolated and monopolized Soviet economy also was irrentable, money spending on production was higher than income, while Soviet government was artificially holding the prices on goods low. When prices on oil dropped during the arms race, Soviet economy collapsed. Modern Russian economy is much whealthier and better than Soviet economy. Modern Russian economy is a market economy with globalized free trade, if production exists, it is rentable and this production achieved its existance as a result of competition. Even at now, during a war, whealth and life standarts in Russia are higher than in Soviet Union. In modern Russia we have 300 cars for every 1000 people, while in USSR in 1989 there was just 80 cars for every 1000 people, in USSR car was an expensive rarity for people, at now every Russian familiy have a car, and 90% of Russian cars are good Japanese, German cars, ect.. Modern Russia despite the war and sanctions is a country with global average life standarts, wages and whealth. And what is important, Russian economy is a market economy and it would not collapse like socialist economy did. Russia already hadled challenges that destroyed Soviet Union.

  279. @linoleum130  у Украины был резерв в 100 тысяч который они оперативно развернули за первую неделю. И 196 тысяч это только пехота. У России контингент вторжения был 170 тысяч. Касаемо стран Балтии - в военной науке существует такое понятие как логистика и снабжение. Боеспособность армии напрямую математически зависит от снабжения. А если армия находится в окружении, в котле, то снабжения в окружении нет и через несколько дней боёв просто закончатся патроны, безнзин, еда, вода, и войска не имея еды и патронов просто сдадутся в плен либо разбегутся, дезертируют. Прибалтика из-за Калининграда и Беларуси, а также моря, находится по сути в окружении. Это порядка 50 тысяч солдат которые сидят на территории в 100 тысяч квадратных километров, находясь при этом просто в котле где снабжение через узенький корридор. Само НАТО, согласно открытым источникам, публикациям в СМИ, вообще не планирует защищать Прибалтику. Вместо этого они в случае гипотетической войны дадут России занять Прибалтику, а уже потом будут просто её освобождать, наступая на Калининград и Беларусь. Сама Польша уже с 2010 года проводит военные учения где "захватывает" Калининград, и думаю гипотетические планы по Беларуси у них есть. То есть гипотетический сценарий это то что у России уйдёт один-два месяца чтобы имея тотальное превосходство разгромить и занять всю Прибалтику, а дальше Польша наступает на Калининград и Беларусь, идёт морская война на Балтике и война в воздухе. В конечном итоге Россия тотально уступает альянсу НАТО во всём и они берут Калининград, Беларусь и освобождают Прибалтику за несколько месяцев боёв. Затем подключается Украина чтобы отбить Донецк, Луганск, Крым, также под угрозой Питер со стороны Финляндии, и тут уже интереснее, в зависимости от того какие приоритеты будут у НАТО, можно будет либо удержать Питер, потеряв Балтию и Беларусь, либо удержать даже возможно сам Калининград, но со стороны Финляндии граница в 1000 километров, там уже непонятно, могут и отрезать Мурманск. Плюс через Грузию Турция может вкатиться, а Грузия пойдет на Абхазию и Осетию. В долгосрочной перспективе, я полагаю что народ Европы будет выступать жёстко против этой войны даже несмотря на то что первой напала Россия, ибо сомневаюсь что они будут так беспокоиться о Прибалтике, хотя это тоже интересный вопрос, но в любом случае я думаю что Европа не будет идти в а-банк и воевать на полную катушку, скорее всего будет как Россия в СВО, без мобилизации ограниченным контингентом, а с таким раскладом они Россию не победят и не разгромят, ибо в России будет тотальная мобилизация, но Россия будет истекать кровью при тотальной мобилизации и плохо экипированных необученных войсках, а через несколько лет Россия даже возможно получит преимущество при ленд лизе Китая и Ирана например, плюс сейчас США уже не будут впрягаться за Европу, и скорее всего Россия начнет спустя несколько лет отбивать территории и даже заходить в Финляндию, предложить ей довоенную границу как в 1944 году, возможно они выйдут из войны. Думаю Европа спустя неселько лет мясорубки ливнёт и проблема будет с Украиной, ибо в Украине считают Кубань и Белгород своими территориями, так что с Украиной будут большие проблемы при таком сценарии. А Турция может отжать все мусульманские республики Кавзказа.

So, if Ukraine's main battle tank was not T-64, which Ukraine have hundreeds, but Abrams, there could have been hundreeds of destroyed Abrams tanks

  289.  @crogmmp  Well, in general, our goals are rather vague. First, the global goal is for Ukraine to abandon its course towards joining NATO. We need this in order for an independent Ukraine to exist, which will not be in NATO and will not move closer to the West. A military defeat will lead to a political crisis in Ukraine, and people loyal to us will come to power there. In fact, I just told you what happened to Georgia after the August 2008 war. We do not need to capture the whole of Ukraine in order to achieve all the goals. Our second goal is to protect the right to self-determination of those Russian people who inhabit the regions of the south-east of Ukraine and who in 2014 raised an uprising against the Kyiv authorities. In fact, we have already achieved these goals - we have captured enough territories in the south-east of Ukraine. It remains only to find an argument that will allow us to force Ukraine to make peace. Then Zelensky’s support rating will collapse and the Ukrainian people will hate Zelensky for signing peace with us. Zelensky will lose power, there will be a political crisis in Ukraine, and all of Ukraine will become ours, like Georgia, where people loyal to us are now in power

Не говоря уже о том что непосредственно на границе российских войск нет. Российские войска сидят на оборонительных огневых позициях, а следовательно всё, чего добилась украинская армия это просто зашла в серую зону где её уничтожают беспилотниками на минных полях. Мы в России искренне хотим чтобы ВСУ продолжили этот потужный нахрюк и все сгорели и закончились там побыстрее.

  297. @jdm4198  I already said my point of view as a Russian citizen who understand post-Soviet politics very well. Russia is NOT fighting against entire NATO, NATO and West economically and in military sphere are much stronger than Russia. And America is capable to give Ukraine enough weapons to defeat Russia. But America doesn't do it because it is strategically bad for America. Russia is a strategic enemy, and from American point of view it is better to make an ENDLESS war where Russia will be losing manpower, economy, political stability and resources. West have promised Ukraine a weapons and victory over Russia, and it was a LIE, West deceived and used Ukraine, not giving them enough weapons to defeat Russia, but enough weapons to balance with Russia as equals. We were doing the exactly same during Vietnam war. Soviet Union was supplying weapons to communist Vietnam in war against America. Soviet Union had 60 thousand tanks, dozens of millions of artillery shells back then, thousands of anti-air. If Soviet Union wanted to defeat America in Vietnam quickly, it was possible to do. But from strategic, logical and rational point of view, it is better to inflict as many casualities to your opponent as possible, so we were giving to Vietnam a very small but stable stream of military aid for all 10 years of war. America and Europe are doing to Ukraine the exact same thing USSR was doing to Vietnam - lying and manipulating and giving very small amount of weapons just for balance, to equalize power, and nothing more than that. Without Western backing, our millitary could have defeated Ukraine in few months - one year, Western military backing as it can be seen from proven statistics of Ukrainian vehicle and weapon casualities in Kursk region boosted Ukrainian military power by 30-50%. Ukraine had and have quite powerful military even without the West, but now ~1/6 of their vehicles, rifles and equipment is Western (or Kusrk front was held by elite units with such equipment), they have sattelite and CIA backing from USA, and some part of artillery shells and ammo are also Western. This boosts their power by 1.5-2 times. West could have done better by training 400 Ukrainian pilots in these 3 years and giving Ukraine 400 fighter jets, ~20% of their stockpile, but if they want to defeat Russia this is fair deal for them. But in reality UK trained 5 Ukrainian pilots. Just 5

  298.  @UAConstantine  unlike Russia, America had no need in little green men. Russia had a need in little green men, because Russia needed to quickly respond to coup in Kiev by its own coups and Russia used directly its personel from military and FSB. Because Russia was a responding side that needed to quickly respond. America wasn't responding, America was the one who started it in the first place, so America had much more covered long term strategy. Ukraine as a state is oligarchy, which means that all political parties and media in Ukraine is ruled or lobbied by oligarchs. Before 2014, Russia and European Union were economically competing over Ukraine, so Ukrainian economic elites, oligarchs, divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian, and Ukrainian political parties, mass media and people divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian. President Yanukovich wasn't pro-Russian, in fact he was trying to balance between Russia and European Union, but Russian economic influence was very big, it was bigger than European. So when Yanukovich wanted to sign a deal with European Union, Russia started to threat Ukraine with trade tariffs, and Yanukovich was forced to NOT sign a deal with European Union. This provoked massive pro-Western protests in Kiev in the first place, and originally Ukrainian oligarchs have paid poor students to came to protests and oligarch-controlled mass media escalated the protests. This is basically how all protests work in all countries. People don't have collective minds like ants, and one by one, not united, people are unsecure. if you want to organize a protest, you need to start from small artificial protest and then other people will join, you first pay money to crowd, film them on camera, show this on TV and social media and tens of thousands of inspired people come to join the protest. This is how all protests work in all countries, it is all about money. It is IMPOSSIBLE to start any protests without money, because you need the first, initial crowd of people that will be shown in mass media, so entite population of country will see it and some other people will join. In 2013 America have bought 99% share of Ukrainian Novatek company, basically America simply bought Russian gas pipeline in Ukraine. Also Shell corporation had plans to extract Ukrainian gas to replace Russian gas and they signed few contracts. Later American money, American media and even American politicians helped the protests - in december 2013 senator John McCain came to Kiev, he gave an inspiring speech in front of protestors. What American senator forgot in another country, thousands of kilometers from his homeland, giving an inspiring speech to protesters who want to overthrow the government and take power? Later, in january 2014 the head of American State Department, Victoria Nuland, came to Ukraine, she talked with Ukrainian politicians in charge of protests, also gave an inspiring speech to people, and gave famous cookies to protestors. And again a question rises - what American senator and head of state department were doing in Kiev during revolution? Just imagine a situation, that during a January 6th 2021 protests in USA, Russian foreign minister Lavrov comes to Washington, talks with Trump, gives a speech to protestors, gives them cookies, and later protestors storm Capitoli, Senate and White House and overthrow Biden. This is what happened in Ukraine. Also fun fact - America spent 5 billion dollars on propaganda and mass media in Ukraine in period of 1991-2013. This money were spent to bribe Ukrainian politicians and Television to form a positive view of West among Ukrainian people. 5 billion dollars. So, by 2013, 37% of Ukrainian population supported idea of joining European Union, while 32% supported Russia and others didn't cared. In reality European Union doesn't want Ukraine to be part of it. Ukraine is very corrupted, oligarch-ruled poor post-Soviet country with little difference from Russia. And such corrupted and poor country have ZERO chances to become part of European Union. In reality, Ukrainian oligarch wanted Yanulovich to be gone for a different reason - Yanukovich was re-distributing oligarch property and assets to his family, and oligarchs were of course unhappy with that, so when deal with European Union failed, oligarchs just used this for excuse, while in reality becoming part of European Union was never real for Ukraine and it was NOT a reason for protests. The only thing that changed after coup in 2014 is that oligarchs re-distributed property back from Yanulovich's mafia, while Ukrainian population got nothing from promised - European Union REJECTED proposal to join, while cutting economic ties with Russia was a disaster for Ukrainian economy because trade with Russia was larger than with EU. But, let's return to original topic. Ukrainian oligarchs paid money for 24/7 toilets, 24/7 food, Molotov coktails, weapons and even military helmets to protestors, and one of Ukraine's oligarchs, Poroshenko, who became a president 2 months later, proudly was saying that he paid for all this. Ukrainian oligarchs and some American money have paid for 24/7 food and toilets with heating during winter, weapons and military helmets for protestors in Kiev. Later the first blood appeared, when Ukrainian policemen, who were used to brutally supress Crimea's Tatar and Russian protests for indepdendence from Ukraine (1994-2013), brutally supressed and killed now Ukrainians themselves in Kiev. Yes, that's right, Ukrainian policemen who killed people in Kiev, this exact special police unit, were the same Ukrainian policemen who were brutally supressing Russian and Tatar protests in Crimea that occured in Crimea 1994-2013. Also Ukrainian oligarchs paid money to naz%s, because in post Soviet countries naz%s are very healthy strong men with this romantic revolutionary ideas, who want a fight, and during this protests Ukrainian oligarchs paid money to naz%s, so naz% squads were also fighting police. Later protestors just started to kill policemen with molotov coktails, captured state buildings and president flee from Ukraine to only country he can flee - Russia. After this Russian troops came to Crimea and Russia's FSB came to Donbass to organize the crowd of tens of thousands of pro-Russian protestors. And these people from Donbass, under FSB leadership, later were fighting against Ukrainian army who came to them with bad intentions, and 20 thousand of volunteers from local population were fighting for 5 months before the first ever Russian soldier crossed the border in september 2014. Pro-Russian separatists in the Donbass were fighting without Russian support for 5 months, before first ever Russian soldier appeared. This is a proof that these coups in the Donbass were the people's will, like coup in Kiev. Our philosophy is built on rejecting hypocrisy - if pro-Western Ukrainians in Kiev had a right of self-determination, then Russians in Crimea and pro-Russian population in the Donbass also had such a right of self-determination. We will divide Ukraine into spheres of influence together with West, like East and West Germany. Russia tried to secure its sphere of influence from foreign great powers. Yes, originally we wanted to take Kiev and set puppet regime. We failed. Now the only logical thing that Zelensky must do for his people is make a peace deal to prevent further useless deaths. Ukraine will be divided between Europe and Russia anyways, there is no need of further continuation of war, we in Russia were surprised by your resistance, you held well, now, let's end this. What Ukraine did in last days - violated an energy ceasefire. Europe rejected our proposal of ceasefire and grain deal in Black Sea. Why are you doing that? You want the Russian army to take more of your territory? Trump gave Zelensky a chance to end the war at best possible conditions and Zelensky decided to violate ceasefire striking Russian energy infrastructure and Europe rejected lifting sanctions from Russian grain, making ceasefire in the Black Sea impossible, while Zelensky sees EU as Ukraine's new masters.

  299. In general, the most incomprehensible thing in this war is Putin's goals. Considering what price Russia is paying for the war in Ukraine, sanctions, etc., it becomes unclear - is it worth it? Putin is not crazy, is he? It seems to me that if we want to understand Russia's goals, we should still listen to what Putin said on February 24. Of course, he lied and exaggerated, but still the declaration of war speech contains the reasons for the war, albeit exaggerated in order to justify it. What if Putin is really right about something, or did he have no choice? Putin said that Ukraine wanted to join NATO. So, what if Ukraine, having joined NATO, and having received guarantees of independence from Western countries that have nuclear weapons, could use these guarantees to return Donbass, and possibly Crimea to its composition? And Putin, knowing this, decided to strike a screwing blow, to forestall the enemy. Judge for yourself - if Russia is hungry for expansion, then why was Georgia not completely captured in 2008? Why was peace concluded with Georgia after 5 days of fighting, although the defeat of the Russian army was not inflicted, but on the contrary - the Georgian army was defeated in Ossetia, and Russian troops on the fifth day of the war approached the outskirts of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, after which peace was concluded on the Georgian initiative. This means that expansion is not the goal of Russia. And if Putin wanted to seize Ukraine, he should have attacked in 2014 or 2015, when Ukraine simply did not have an army. And so it turns out that Putin gave Ukraine 8 years to prepare for war. This means that the decision to invade Ukraine was made spontaneously, and before that, in 2021, 2020, 2019 and other years, Putin did not plan an invasion of Ukraine. What could make Putin make a quick decision? Well, only my point of view is logical here, that Ukraine, using NATO's protection guarantees, wanted to seize Donbass, and that Putin simply had no choice whether to invade Ukraine or not, because if he had not invaded, Donbass would have been taken by Ukrainian troops, and Russia, risking a clash with NATO, would have been sitting on the sidelines. In general, it is worthwhile to understand in principle what has been happening for the last 8 years.

  304.  @Burdie_boi  this is real, Navalny was an advisor to governor of Russia's Kirov region and he illegally sold forest for bribes, buying 100 square meters flat in the center of Moscow. At first Russian court wanted to send him to prison, but in 2013 he participated in campaign to be elected as mayor of Moscow, and Sobyanin needed him on this election to legalize himself in front of people by defeating Navalny in election, so Russian court changed his mind and there was no real punishment, but charges remained. Even European Union's court recognized charges against Navalny as legal, but when Navalny wasn't let for presidential election in 2018 he said that "Putin is dictator and didn't let me for election". After 2025 Trump closure of USAID funding it became clear that Navalny and all so called Russian opposition were American puppets on American money funding, and also in 2024 Maxim Cats, a Jewish national Russian dissident made an investigation against his former comrades, and it became clear that in 2000s there were fraud bankers who have illegally stolen money from Russian people, from their bank clients, and laundered this money using British bakns and left Russia in 2009 with 2 billion dollars being illegally stolen. In the West this fraud bankers claimed themselves as "political victims" and anti-Russian policy in media inside Russia was also sponsored by these bankers. So basically anti-Putin opposition are people that actually worse than Putin. This is people who were corrupt officials in Russia in 90s and 2000s, but lost power when Putin became president, this is former oligarchs who have stolen billions of dollars from the people in the 90s and lost everything when Putin came to power, this is fraud laundering bankers who also stolen billions of dollars from Russians, and simply American and European puppets funded by foreign money. And adult Russian population who saw misery and oligarch hell in Russia in the 90s, before Putin bringed order, economic growth and stability, didn't supported this opposition. This is why majority was voting for Putin instead of this opposition, and only young 14 years old children supported Navalny.

This organization is called "Free Russia Foundation", a total American funded puppet organization with people who never were in Russia in their life, they are American born Russians. And this is hypocrisy, because America itself is built on land of Native Americans who were murdered as a result of genocides in 16th-19th centuries. And 100% of territory USA have are not their land, they are colonizers who live by 100% on conquered, occupied land. So if these people funded by American money want a collapse of Russia into 30 states, I think they should start from their country, from America, so USA will end its existance, all Americans will flee back to Europe and Native Americans will get their land back. Absolutely disgusting people. This is why majority of Russians support Putin. Because people who act against Putin are foreign puppets and monsters who want to destroy our country, and Putin is the only one who defends Russia and our national interests. This is why majority was voting for Putin instead of this opposition, and only young 14 years old children supported Navalny and now they are dissapointed, because after opposition left Russia in 2022, they started to blame Russian people in "voting for Putin", this is hypocrisy because these same people were talking for years that elections are rigged, and now they blame us in "voting for Putin" and in the war. They don't help Russians against discrimination of their nationality and language in Baltics, they don't help Russians in Russia, only blaming us that we didn't supported them.

  307. I do not understand why everyone is surprised - Russia is fighting against Ukraine without mobilization. Russia is fighting using only contract volunteers. In fact, Russia uses somewhere around 20% of its military power. Of course, after more than half a year of war, Ukraine, thanks to mobilization, has achieved a serious numerical superiority. Without mobilization, Russia cannot really make up for losses. Using their numerical superiority, the Ukrainians are able to easily manipulate the Russians. The Ukrainians announced an attack on Kherson, Russia was forced to pull the last free forces there from other sectors of the front, as a result of which they were weakened. Then Ukraine hit the weakened area with other forces.

  309.  @jehandesains8674  You are talking nonsense - in the First World War, artillery inflicted 90% of losses on the warring countries. Another 10% of the losses were caused by machine guns. Now nothing much has changed, only aviation has joined the artillery. However, only the United States has a strong and numerous aviation. With regards to Ukraine, the advantage in defense is offset by Russian superiority in artillery. And where did you get the idea that Ukraine has better equipment? Russian soldiers have combat equipment no worse than Ukrainians. You must have seen enough of the beautiful interviews in the Western media, filmed in the rear, which show some kind of special forces of the Ukrainian army. But in fact, if you look at the equipment of ordinary Ukrainian soldiers, they are poorly dressed. How does urban development give an advantage to the defending side? This building can be safely burned or bombed, the advancing troops are also hiding in the same building. What makes you think that Ukraine has better intelligence? And finally - where did you get the information about the ratio of losses?

  310. According to Ukrainian propaganda. In reality, Russian army don't have numerical advantage. Opposite - in the start of the war Russian and Ukrainian armies were equal in numbers, and already in may 2022 due to the mobilization Ukrainian army achieved numerical superiority over Russians. From may 2022 to september 2022 Russia fought in numerical minority against the country, that was provided hy weapons by ~30 Western countries on more than 100 billion $. And Russia still was winning in numerical minority until september.

  316. @European_Liberal  With regards to "Russian superior military spending in 10 years compared to SMALL Western military aid". I want to ask - your name is European Liberal, I think you are European patriot, but why West, that have 20 times more economy than Russia is giving that small military aid to Ukraine that Ukraine isn't capable to defeat Russia in 3 years, while European military alone before the war was stronger and numerically superior to Russian military. At now, after 3 years of war, considering the fact how Russian army grew up in numbers for few times and considering the growth in quality and gaining experience, I already doubt that combined European army without Ukraine is stronger, but US military is still two steps ahead and Russia have no chances against it. Then why West didn't just gave 20% of its equipment, tanks, aviation and etc to just defeat Russia in few months? Because Ukrainian victory isn't profitable for the United States, so United States want this war to continue for as much as possible, this is a war of ATTRITION against Russia and waste of lives of Ukrainian soldiers doesn't matter for the United States. United States are ABLE to give Ukraine as much military help as will be enough to completely quickly defeat Russia, but they aren't doing it, they are giving very small and insufficient help for Ukraine on PURPOSE, this is their goal - to give Ukraine NOT ENOUGH help so this war of attrition against Russia will continue and their military industrial complex will have profits. Also we must understand HOW the West is giving help to Ukraine, the billions of dollars which United States are spending aren't going to Ukraine, this money are going to American military industry, which produces new weapons, while old weapons are going to Ukraine. So basically Ukraine doesn't even get this money, United States are paying this printed money to themselves and rearming THEIR OWN military, while Ukraine gets rotten old equipment from old storages

  317.  @AniMewAlex  Russia isn't invading Ukraine, but conducting a peacekeeping operation to protect the right of self-determinatiin of Russian people, who are living in the south-east Ukraine. If Russia doesn't care about this population - so why the Russian rescue services are helping civilians in the Kherson region right now?

  319.  @AniMewAlex  it is peacekeeping, just like was in Kosovo. The regions of south-east of Ukraine are populated by Russian. In Crimea in 2013, before the annexation, 60% of the population were Russians, and only 24% were Ukrainians. In the Donbass, Zaporije and Kherson regions 30-40% of the population are Russians. This is ethnical Russian regions, and in 2014 there was a rebellion in the south-eastern Ukraine, when on april 6th 2014 Donetsk People's Republic declared independence from Ukraine. Ukraine answered to this declaration by war against Russians, on april 14th 2014 Ukraine announced "anti-terrorist operation". This is how the war in the Donbass began. In 2022 Russia recognised independence of DPR and LPR, signed a collective defense pact with them and at now Russia is conducting a "peacekeeping special military operation", like NATO did in Kosovo, when Albanians in Kosovo declared their independence from Serbia and NATO conducted operation to protect their right to self-determination.

  325.  @fiorino4554  war is a very expensive and financially costly business. Ukraine's economy collapsed as a result of the war. The Ukrainian economy has suffered from war much more than the Russian economy has suffered from sanctions. Without the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have been defeated long ago. In 2022, the West provided Ukraine with about 120 billion euros of financial assistance. These are three annual state budgets of Ukraine. Three annual budgets (36 months) of the country for 10 months of 2022. 15 military budgets. Before the war, in 2021, for example, Ukraine spent about 8 billion euros on the army, about 20% of the state budget. In 2022, Ukraine was allocated 120 billion euros of financial assistance. Without this help, Ukraine would not be able to wage war for economic reasons, and Russian tanks would have been in Odessa and Kiev for a long time. If not for the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have capitulated in the summer of 2022. And Russia, in fact, is not fighting against Ukraine. Russia is fighting against the Western Bloc. Russia is fighting against part of NATO. The United States, Britain and France have nuclear weapons, and Russia also has nuclear weapons. Therefore, a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO is impossible. And the West uses Ukrainians and Ukraine instead of its own soldiers. As for arms supplies, they amount to about $30 billion. Russia spent so much money before the war on rearmament of the army in 3 years. Ukraine has exhausted its reserves of Soviet artillery ammunition and is now fighting with American artillery and American ammunition. Without these American guns, Ukraine would have no guns at all. At the same time, Ukraine fires several times less ammunition every day than Russia. And even so, Britain, the USA and Poland do not have enough production capacity to provide the AFU. Their production is lower than consumption. So, in fact, Russia is fighting against NATO. If it were not for the support of the West, Russia would have already captured the whole of Ukraine twice in last year. The reason for all the failures and defeats of the Russian army is the insufficient initial number of troops. On February 24, 2022, when the war began, Russia fielded only about 100 thousand soldiers against Ukraine. Plus several tens of thousands of soldiers from the DPR and LPR. There were about 150 thousand soldiers in Ukraine already on the first day of the war. That is, at the beginning of the war, the number of the two armies was comparable. And as you know, a numerical advantage of at least one and a half times is needed for a successful offensive. Ukraine began to mobilize already on the first day of the war. In the first two months of the war, the Russian army was still able to move somewhere, but over time the Russian offensive stalled, due to the fact that Ukraine had been mobilizing since the first day of the war, and the number of the Ukrainian army was growing every day. The Russian offensive is bogged down by superior Ukrainian numbers. Do not forget that Ukrainians have been preparing for war for 8 years and building fortifications in the east of the country. In the first seven months, Russia fought against Ukraine with a relatively small contingent of contract soldiers, without conscripts and without mobilization. Thanks to the numerical superiority that the APU accumulated during the 7 months of the war, the APU was able to launch a successful offensive in September 2022. But the Ukrainian army won stupidly due to numerical superiority. In other words, it's not an equal fight. Under equal conditions, the Russian army demonstrated a much higher combat capability in March 2022, capturing huge amount of territory. As of mid-April 2022, the Russians have seized territory in Ukraine the size of England. Do not forget that the Ukrainian army is much stronger than the French, German or British army. Ukraine on February 24, 2022 had ~150 thousand. soldiers and 1,000 tanks, the AFU is the largest army in Europe. For comparison, Britain in 2021 had about 70 thousand soldiers and 200 tanks. Germany has 80,000 soldiers and 400 tanks, and France had 120,000 soldiers and 600 tanks in 2021. As of February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian army was the most numerous and mechanized in all of Europe, not counting the Russian army. It is quite easy to defeat the Russian army when Russia is fighting without mobilization, when Russia is fighting without conscripts, when Russia is fighting with a limited contingent of 100 thousand soldiers, and you already have a comparable army on the first day of the war, and you are mobilizing from the first day of the war, and the West also gives you unlimited resources to wage war. Unlimited amount of money, a huge amount of weapons. And in the end, despite all these weapons, despite all this help, despite the numerical superiority of the AFU, at the end of one year Russia is still winning - 60% of the Kherson region, half of the Zaporozhye region, 30% of Donetsk region and 70% of the Luhansk region have been occupied by Russia since February 24, 2022. This means that, on average, over the past year, the Russian army has acted more successfully than the Ukrainian army, and Russia is still winning. On early march 2023 for example Russia encircled Bakhmut, cutting off from supplies the Ukrainian army in the city.

  327.  @fiorino4554  Russia and Putin have never said that the Russian army is the second in the world. This opinion was voiced by the Western media and Western propaganda. Only propagandists spoke about "Kyiv in 3 days", Putin, the Ministry of Defense and high-ranking officials did not talk about it. As for the show of force, Russia at the beginning of the 2000s was going to join NATO, and in 2010 President Medvedev discussed Russia's entry into the European Union. Until 2014, Russia did not boast of its strength.
    1
  328.  @fiorino4554  As for the size of the army, Russia has a million military personnel. However, Russia has a fleet, nuclear troops, aviation, air defense. And out of a million military personnel, Russia has about 440 thousand infantrymen, marines and paratroopers. Of these, half are conscripts who do not participate in the war. And half of the contractors. Of the 200 thousand contract soldiers, not all agreed to go to fight in Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Many signed a contract for one or two months, and returned to Russia in April-May 2022. Many took vacations. Thus, for the first 7 months of the war, Russia fought with a limited contingent of 100-120 thousand soldiers, plus 40 thousand rebel soldiers from the DPR and LPR. Russia fought without mobilization and is still fighting without conscripts. Thus, on the first day of the war, Russia had approximately 150,000 soldiers. Ukraine had a comparable army already on the first day of the war, while Ukraine began to mobilize from the first day of the war. And for a successful offensive, a numerical superiority of at least one and a half times is needed. The Russian army, with equal numbers, captured vast territories in the first month of the war, and even after leaving the north of Ukraine, the area occupied by Russia was comparable to the area of ​​England. However, the Russian offensive eventually stalled in the superior Ukrainian numbers. By September, Ukraine had accumulated a sufficient numerical superiority, and went on the offensive. Russia also began to mobilize. The Russian professional contract army showed excellent results for 7 months of the war from February 24 to September 2022

  329.  @fiorino4554  There was the same war in Georgia as in Ukraine. Georgia has been preparing for war for a long time, the Georgian soldiers were trained by NATO instructors, the Georgians had NATO weapons. As a result, the Russian army ousted the Georgians from South Ossetia in 5 days and approached the northern suburbs of Tbilisi, the capital. And Georgia surrendered. History repeats itself. If the war in Georgia ended with the victory of Russia, then this war in Ukraine will also end with the victory of Russia. It's just that Ukraine is 12 times larger in population than Georgia, well, I think there is a quadratic dependence - the war will last 144 times longer, about 900 days

  330.  @fiorino4554  Since when is guerrilla resistance a full-fledged war? The second Chechen war began with the fact that terrorists not controlled by the Chechen government crossed the Russian border and invaded the province of Dagestan. At first, Russia fought on its own territory, and when the Russian troops finished and crossed the border, it took a couple of months to occupy Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Then there was already a guerrilla war, yes. Moreover, the Chechens also entered Georgian territory. And one of their commanders was a Saudi, Saudi Arabia, in principle, is famous for supporting terrorists with arms supplies

  332.  @Pedro-js5oq  Russia had 170 thousand soldiers in the start of the war, total numerical strength of Russian army is 440 thousand, half of which are conscripts who don't participate in military operation, and half are contractors. Russia had only 170 thousand at begining, probably lower, considering the fact that Russia didn't officially declared war on Ukraine and there is no martial law inside Russia, so contract soldiers were able to simply refuse to mark their signature on the contract to go to fight in Ukraine. Also Russian volunteers had holidays after contract is over. Russia never had superior numerical strength over Ukraine

  340. ​ @gingerswag7776  Shortly before the annexation of Crimea and the uprising in the Donbass, an illegal anti-constitutional coup d'état took place in Kyiv, in which the legitimate and democratically elected government of Ukraine was overthrown. If people in Kiev had the right to self-determination, if people in Kiev, violating the laws and violating the constitution of Ukraine, carried out their revolution, then the Russian people in Crimea and the Donbas also have the right to self-determination. And the Russian army has the right to cross the Ukrainian border and defend their right to self-determination.

  341. In 2014 USA backed with money and propaganda a revolution, coup in Ukraine, changing power in this country, while Russia was investing money into Ukraine for years since 2000s. So USA basically robbed Russia, and Russia as an answer captured Crimea. Russia came for its share of Ukraine. This is how this war started, basically. Russia just wants its share which USA simply stolen from Russia by organizing a revolution in Ukraine. At now Trump is ready to make a deal with Russia dividing Ukraine 50/50, but some unreliable Western media is saying that Russia is planning to organize another revolution in Ukraine like USA did in 2014, but in Russian favour, but I don't think this is realistic scenario.

  347.  @jehandesains8674  "Maidan would never happened, if Russia had not done anything" Tell me, what Russia did so Maidan happened? It was an oligarch coup supprted by the West, and Russia did nothing before 2014 to provoke this. Youtube Western censorship is deleting my comments, and I am lazy to explain, so, I will copy my reply to another person in changed comment. it was a coup - the president was overthrown, he was forced to leave, and there was no vote, he wasn't voted out. No matter how bad Yanukovich was, instead of making a coup, Ukrainian people could have just elected different president in upcoming election in may 2014. But instead they made a coup, and Russia as an answer played a reverse UNO card in Crimea and Donbass. None of this could have happened if Ukrainians used a legal procedure to choose a better president 2 months after. But in fact it is not Ukrainian people who did this. Ukraine as a state is oligarchy, which means that all political parties and media in Ukraine is ruled or lobbied by oligarchs. Before 2014, Russia and European Union were economically competing over Ukraine, so Ukrainian economic elites, oligarchs, divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian, and Ukrainian political parties, mass media and people divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian. President Yanukovich wasn't pro-Russian, in fact he was trying to balance between Russia and European Union, but Russian economic influence was very big, it was bigger than European. So when Yanukovich wanted to sign a deal with European Union, Russia started to threat Ukraine with trade tariffs, and Yanukovich was forced to NOT sign a deal with European Union. This provoked massive pro-Western protests in Kiev in the first place, and originally Ukrainian oligarchs have paid poor students to came to protests and oligarch-controlled mass media escalated the protests. In 2013 America have bought 99% share of Ukrainian Novatek company, basically America simply bought Russian gas pipeline in Ukraine. Also Shell corporation had plans to extract Ukrainian gas to replace Russian gas and they signed few contracts. Later American money, American media and even American politicians helped the protests - in december 2013 senator John McCain came to Kiev, he gave an inspiring speech in front of protestors. What American senator forgot in another country, thousands of kilometers from his homeland, giving an inspiring speech to protesters who want to overthrow the government and take power? Later, in january 2014 the head of American State Department, Victoria Nuland, came to Ukraine, she talked with Ukrainian politicians in charge of protests, also gave an inspiring speech to people, and gave famous cookies to protestors. And again a question rises - what American senator and head of state department were doing in Kiev during revolution? Just imagine a situation, that during a January 6th 2021 protests in USA, Russian foreign minister Lavrov comes to Washington, talks with Trump, gives a speech to protestors, gives them cookies, and later protestors storm Capitoli, Senate and White House and overthrow Biden. This is what happened in Ukraine. Also, Ukrainian oligarchs paid money for 24/7 toilets, 24/7 food, Molotov coktails, weapons and even military helmets to protestors, and one of Ukraine's oligarchs, Poroshenko, who became a president 2 months later, proudly was saying that he paid for all this. Ukrainian oligarchs and some American money have paid for 24/7 food and toilets with heating during winter, weapons and military helmets for protestors in Kiev. Later the first blood appeared, when Ukrainian policemen, who were used to brutally supress Crimea's Tatar and Russian protests for indepdendence from Ukraine (1994-2013), brutally supressed and killed now Ukrainians themselves in Kiev. Yes, that's right, Ukrainian policemen who killed people in Kiev, this exact special police unit, were the same Ukrainian policemen who were brutally supressing Russian and Tatar protests in Crimea that occured in Crimea 1994-2013. Also Ukrainian oligarchs paid money to naz%s, because in post Soviet countries naz%s are very healthy strong men who want a fight, and during this protests Ukrainian oligarchs paid money to naz%s, so naz% squads were also fighting police. Later protestors just started to kill policemen with molotov coktails, captured state buildings and president flee from Ukraine to only country he can flee - Russia. After this Russian troops came to Crimea.

  355. @MegaEssin  about what Ukrainian soverignty are you talking, when there was an American senator John McCain in Kiev in december 2013 and head of American state department Victoria Nuland in january 2014? About which soverignty you are talking? Ukraine is not a sovereign country since American backed coup in Kiev, and Russian POV is completely RELEVANT here, because pro-Russian part of Ukrainian population, in Crimea, in the Donbass, have the right of self determination, just like people from Kiev had theirs. I reccomend you to read my comment regarding Crimea, I pointed all your mistakes to you. Just imagine that during January 6th 2021 protests in USA, Russian foreign minister Lavrov comes to USA, talks with Trump, gives an inspiring speech to protestors, gives them cookies and then protestors storm Capitoli, Senate and White House and Biden loses power. This is what happened in Ukraine - high ranking American officials came to lead the coup, and there were American money, media and support. Ukraine is NOT a sovereign state, and Russia have a right to do the same to Ukraine as what America did. America intervened inside Ukraine supporting a coup in Kiev, so Russia did the same, but in Crimea and Donbass, because there were pro-Russian people in Crimea and Donbass and pro-Western people in Kiev. What are you saying is complete arrogance, ignorance of other people's opinion, egoism, very typical for Westerner, very typical for Western ideology. But Russia is not a country you can mess, we are not submissive to anyone and our people will fight in a war for Russia's interests. What America was doing to Russia before Trump in 2024 was a so called by Americans themselves "containment policy". America is the World's greatest superpower, and World's greatest superpower wants to protect its hygemony and dominance in the World, and in order to do it America is trying to get rid of competitors. This is why America is waging an agressive economic and trade wars against China. What China did bad for America? China is a peaceful nation that didn't invaded anyone in last 50 years, while America invaded Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Kosovo. China didn't invaded anyone, China did nothing bad to the World. But America is waging a trade wars against China and portrayes China as a devil in media, and when Biden came to power in 2021, already in january 2021 Biden called China and Russia as strategic enemies and USA formed a military alliance against China, including Filliphines, South Korea, Japan and etc.. America is trying to get rid of that holy competition , about whicb pro-Western liberals were lying to us in Russia during the collapse of USSR. They were talking about democrasy and competition. So, where is this democrasy and fair competition? After the collapse of USSR, Russia had a dream of building a democrasy, of becoming part of Western World, even during first years of Putin, Russia wanted to join EU and NATO, Russia was open like never before in history. And what the West did? West tried to put pressure on us up to complete end. It was a mistake. Russia survived all economic sanctions, and adopted to them. Russian army wasn't defeated on battlefield with all Western help. You can't do anything to us now, you can't contain us now like you wanted, we are inevitable. So, Putin achieved the most important goal of building a strong and sovereign Russia - Russia can't be contained now, all means to contain Russia failed. It means that now we can do what we want without any consequences. You can't sanction us even more than now. America wanted to play a game with us, but they didn't knew that these game can be played from the other side too.

America intervened inside Ukraine supporting a coup in Kiev, so Russia did the same, but in Crimea and Donbass, because there were pro-Russian people in Crimea and Donbass and pro-Western people in Kiev. What are you saying is complete arrogance, ignorance of other people's opinion, egoism, very typical for Westerner, very typical for Western ideology. But Russia is not a country you can mess. What America was doing to Russia before 2025 was a so called by Americans themselves "containment policy". America is the World's greatest superpower, and World's greatest superpower wants to protect its hygemony and dominance in the World, and in order to do it America is trying to get rid of competitors. This is why America is waging an agressive economic and trade wars against China. What China did bad for America? China is a peaceful nation that didn't invaded anyone in last 50 years, while America invaded Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Kosovo. China didn't invaded anyone, China did nothing bad to the World. But America is waging a trade wars against China and portrayes China as a devil in media, and when Biden came to power in 2021, already in january 2021 Biden called China and Russia as USA's strategic enemies and USA formed a military alliance against China, including Filliphines, South Korea, Japan and etc.. America is trying to get rid of that holy competition , about which pro-Westerners were lying to us in Russia during the collapse of USSR and 90s. They were talking about democrasy and competition, about the "World, that is built on rules". So, where is this democrasy and fair competition? Where were these rules when Iraq war happened? After the collapse of USSR, Russia had a dream of building a democrasy, of becoming part of Western World, even during first years of Putin, Russia wanted to join EU and NATO, Russia was open like never before in history. And what the West did? West tried to put pressure on us up to complete end. It was a mistake. Russia survived all economic sanctions, and adopted to them. Russian army wasn't defeated on battlefield with all Western help. You can't do anything to us now, you can't contain us now like you wanted, we are inevitable. So, Putin achieved the most important goal of building a strong and sovereign state - Russia can't be contained now, all means to contain Russia failed. It means that now we can do what we want without any consequences. You can't sanction us even more than now. America wanted to play a game with us, but they didn't knew that these game can be played from the other side against them. A 140 million nuclear power rich of resources and with strong military which can do anything it wants in international stage, West have no containment against us now. This is what you got after your deeds. We were like that in all of history and will be like that. The history of Russia started from Moscow's rebellion against Mongols, against Golden Horde. We have defeated all great powers that were putting pressure on us, invading us - Poland, Sweden, Turkey, Tatars, and now they hate us calling us an "occupiers", "colonizators", while being proud of capturing Moscow in 1612. They don't see anything after them, just like you.

  370. The Russians left Kherson because the Ukrainians had destroyed all the bridges across the Dnieper with the help of American precision weapons, and the Russian troops did not have normal supplies and reinforcements. Moreover, the Russians left this region in an organized manner, without a fight. Russian troops were not defeated on the battlefield near Kherson. As for the successes of Ukraine, it is important to understand that Russia, until the end of September, did not fight against Ukraine at full strength. Russia fought for 7 months without mobilization and without conscripts, using only volunteers. Ukraine, on the contrary, has been mobilizing since the first day of the war. It is clear that the Ukrainians have accumulated a numerical superiority, and were able to achieve success. However, after the Ukrainian successes, Russia announced mobilization - Putin did not want to announce mobilization for a long time because of the risks of revolution and unrest in the country. But when the Ukrainian army has a numerical superiority of one and a half to two times, they defeat us. Therefore, it is necessary to equalize the number of armies. Mobilized Russian troops are now arriving at the front, which means that the Ukrainian army will soon be unable to achieve any success at all. Because the population of Russia is 3.5 times larger. Russia can pull so many troops to the front that the Ukrainians will not achieve anything. This is where the war will end.

  371.  @dhjijejd6980  у России всего около 400 тысяч пехотинцев, десантников и морпехов, половина из которых это призывники, которые не принимают участия в спецоперации. А из контрактников до 21 сентября воевали только добровольцы. Таким образом, Россия 24 февраля начала войну, имея где то 120 тысяч собственных солдат контрактников и несколько десятков тысяч солдат из ДНР и ЛНР. Украина на начало войны имела 220 тысяч солдат, а еще у Украины 900 тысяч резервистов, и Украина начала проводить мобилизацию в первый день войны. Неудивительно, что наступление российской армии увязло через месяц. Мало ли того, что обороняться проще, чем атаковать, так к тому же у обороняющейся украинской стороны еще и численный перевес. Понятное дело, что российское наступление увязло и практически остановилось. Тем не менее, в течение марта 2022 российские войска достигли огромных успехов, учитывая, что российская армия наступала, находясь в численном меньшинстве. И не стоит забывать, что Украина 8 лет готовилась к войне и 8 лет строила укрепления на юго-востоке. Российская армия, находясь в численном меньшинстве, продолжала пусть и медленно, но наступать, прогрызая украинскую оборону на протяжении всей весны и лета 2022. О чем нам это говорит? Нам это говорит о том, что потери украинской армии на самом деле выше российских потерь. Потому что если бы потери российской армии были выше украинских, то Россия не вела бы успешные наступательные действия в течение всей весны и лета 2022, находясь в численном меньшинстве. Таким образом мы можем сделать вывод, что Россия несколько месяцев, вплоть до 21 сентября 2022, воевала, находясь в численном меньшинстве, а российская армия использовала тактику артилерийского прогрызания обороны, в то время как украинская армия атакует позиции российских войск в лоб пушечным мясом. У России есть превосходство в артиллерии, авиации и технике. У Украины конечно есть современное Западное оружие и дроны. Но дроны и модные ракеты в силу численности не могут компенсировать то количество авиации, крылатых и ракет и артиллерии, которое есть у России. И в общем то неудивительно, что потери Украины выше, учитывая что 95% потерь в войне - это результат действия артиллерии и авиации, в чем у России тотальное превосходство. Так что в моей теории все в общем то логично. 90% потерь на войне - это результат действия артиллерии, а у России в этом плане тотальное превосходство. Что касаемо технологий и качества оружия, то у Украины конечно есть современное Западное оружие, но им вооружено меньшинство армии. А большинство солдат Украины воюет в основном старым советским хламом из 1980-х. В то же время на вооружении у России стоит модернизированная техника, например танки Т-72б3 2016 года. Русские взяли советский танк, поменяли двигатель, улучшили броню, поставили более современное оборудование, модернизировали этот танк до стандартов НАТО конца нулевых и начала 2010-х. В то время как Украина из-за коррупции и слабой экономики оказалась неспособна модернизировать своё старое оружие до современных стандартов качества. Таким образом, российские советские танки куда лучше и более современны, чем украинские советские танки, потому что Россия модернизировала свою советскую технику до современных стандартов, а армия Украины вооружена музейными экспанатами советской эпохи. Не стоит забывать, что помимо преимущества в мобилизации, у Украины есть преимущество в виде поставок Западного оружия. Причем поставки имеют такие объемы, что многие страны НАТО уже исчерпали свои запасы вооружений. 20/30 стран членов НАТО заявили в середине ноября 2022, что больше не могут оказывать поддержку Украине. США еще летом перестали поставлять Украине гранатометы, потому что исчерпали весомую долю своих запасов, а им запасы нужны еще для Тайваня. Понятное дело, что благодаря мобилизации украинская армия, вооруженная НАТОвским оружием, накопила огромный численный перевес к августу 2022. В августе российское наступление окончательно увязло в украинской численности, а в сентябре украинская армия пошла в успешное наступление, освободив Балаклею и перерезав российское снабжение в Изюме, после которого российские войска эвакуировались из Харьковской области. А также, используя американское высокоточное оружие, украинцы уничтожили мосты через Днепр и оставили российские войска в Херсоне без снабжения, что вынудило россиян покинуть Херсон. К слову в этом есть и плюсы - Днепр это широченная река, которую никто никогда не форсирует, а потому это великолепная оборонительная позиция, которую украинцы никогда не пересекут. После поражений на фронте русским стало ясно, что численный перевес на стороне украинской армии настолько велик, что России тоже нужно объявлять ответную мобилизацию. 21 сентября 2022 мобилизация в России была объявлена. Украинская армия все 7 месяцев войны побеждала только при численном превосходстве, неся больше потерь, чем российская армия. Теперь же, когда Россия объявила мобилизацию, мы можем забыть об успешных украинских наступлениях. После терракта на Крымском мосту 8 октября 2022 Россия начала массированные ракетные удары по энергетике и инфраструктуре Украины. А теперь давайте представим, что было бы, если бы Россия с самого начала войны наносила такие ракетные удары? Украина уже давно капитулировала бы.

  372.  @dhjijejd6980  разведка и СМИ США говорили о 100-150 тысячах российских солдат. Больше быть не могло, и я уже объяснил почему - у России из миллиона военнослужащих всего 400 тысяч пехотинцев, десантников и морпехов, половина из которых призывники, которые не принимают участие в спецоперации. А из числа 200 тысяч контрактников в спецоперации принимали участие тогда только добровольцы. Таким образом, на 24 февраля 2022 Россия выставила у границ Украины сильно меньше 200 тысяч солдат, по факту около 120 тысяч. +Несколько десятков тысяч солдат из ДНР и ЛНР. У Украины 220 тысяч солдат на 24 февраля, + 900 тысяч резервистов. И мобилизацию Украина начала проводить с первого дня войны. Находясь в численном меньшинстве, российская армия успешно наступала весь март, медленно российская армия наступала всю весну и лето. И только в сентябре, благодаря накопленному за несколько месяцев численному превосходству, украинская армия смогла перейти в успешное наступление под Харьковым. После чего Россия тоже объявива мобилизацию, и Украине теперь не светят подобные успешные наступления. А из под Херсона российские войска отступили, потому что там мосты были уничтожены и снабжения не было. Но в целом благодаря мобилизации война закончится рано или поздно победой России. Россия возьмет Бахмут, Россия продолжит медленное ползучее наступление.

  374.  @dhjijejd6980  ты несешь чушь про мобилизацию в России. Ты хочешь сказать, что Россия объявила мобилизацию, якобы потому что вся контрактная российская армия была разбита. Но по твоей же логике получается, что вся украинская контрактная армия была разбита в первые часы войны, ибо Украина начала проводить мобилизацию в первый день войны, а Россия на восьмой месяц

  375.  @dhjijejd6980  украинское наступление под Харьковым было успешно тупо из-за численного перевеса на стороне ВСУ, потому что Украина проводит мобилизацию с первого дня войны, а Россия вплоть до 21 сентября воевала ограниченным контингентом добровольцев. Украина победила тупо благодаря численному перевесу

Украине была передана американская артиллерия. На вооружении у армии США в 2021 году стояло мене 1200 пушек. Украине передали как ты сказал 300-400. Это от четверти до трети запасов артиллерии первой армии Мира, армии США. При этом украинское министерство обороны недавно заявило, что треть этих пушек уже не может стрелять из-за износа

  377.  @dhjijejd6980  ты несешь какой то бред. Я тебе говорю - до 21 сентября, до объявления мобилизации, в Украине воевали только добровольцы конатрактники. Призывники кстати до сих пор не воюют в Украине, даже после объявления мобилизации. Из 400 тысяч солдат по состоянию на 24 февраля 2022 у России половина - это призывники, которые в спецоперации до сих пор участия не принимают, хотя сегодня уже 1 декабря 2022. Призывники до сих пор не принимают участия. А из тех 200 тысяч контрактников далеко не все согласились поехать в Украину воевать. Таким образом, Россия 24 февраля имела где то 120-150 тысяч собственных солдат контрактников, и несколько десятков тысяч солдат из ДНР и ЛНР, против 220 тысяч солдат ВСУ, притом что численность ВСУ с первого же дня войны начала пополняться за счет мобилизации, которую Украина объявила в первый день войны, а не к восьмому месяцу, как Россия

  378.  @dhjijejd6980  я не верю, я располагаю реальными данными - на вооружении у России уже давно не стоит оригинальное советское оружие. Все танки, которые стоят на вооружении у ВСРФ, это модифицированные советские танки. Там поменяли двигатель, улучшили броню, поменяли все оборудование. Модифицировали старую технику до современных стандартов. Российский танк Т-72б3 2016 года сопоставим с американскими танками конца нулевых. В то же самое время ВСУ воюют музейными экспанатами советской эпохи, древней советской техникой. Что касаемо коррупции, то Украина это безумно коррумпированная и нищая пост-советская страна, такая же как Россия. У вас коррупция не ниже, а вот нефти и газа нет

  379.  @dhjijejd6980  Украина и Россия были +- равны, потому что экономическая статистика зачастую врет. Во-первых, ВВП считается по курсу валют, который не показывает ровным счетом ничего. Если ты не в курсе, укрепление рубля из-за санкций привело к тому, что ВВП России в 2022 году вырос. Экономика падает, статистика ВВП растет. Парадокс. Что касаемо Украины, то в Украине весомая доля доходов граждан это заработки заграницей, в ЕС. А заработок заграницей понижает курс гривны и искуственно занижает статистику ВВП Украины. В то же время нефть и газ на самом то деле приносят не так уж и много доходов в экономику России и играют не такую значимую роль, как многие думают

  380.  @dhjijejd6980  ржавые автоматы, которые были выданы танкистам - это частный случай. Безусловно, во время мобилизации были частные редкие случаи про%бов, однако на 300 тысячную армию оплошностей было не так уж и много. Автоматы заржавели из-за нарушения условий хранения на складе. Тем танкистам потом заменили автоматы. В целом мобилизованных есть чем вооружать, а добровольцы покупают себе снаряжение сами. Разные регионы России имеют разный уровень развития. В Приморском крае например всем мобилизованным выдают АК-112 2012 года разработки. А в каких нибудь нищих регионах возможно действительно есть проблемы с экипировкой мобилизованных, и там люди что-то докупают сами. Тут еще важно понимать, что бывают разные рода войск которым нужна разная экипировка и степень оснащенности

  381.  @dhjijejd6980  откуда я взял данные что срочники не воевали до 21 сентября? Чел, я живу в России, я лучше тебя знаю. У меня есть знакомые, которые там воюют. У моих знакомых есть знакомые. Российские срочники не принимают участия в спецоперации. 26 февраля Путин подписал указ о "приведении ядерных сил в режим особого боевого дежурства", и с тех пор срочники патрулируют и охраняют ядерные объекты. В деревне моей бабушки, в которой военные никогда не появлялись, но там есть ядерные шахты рядом, после 26 февраля регулярно появляются срочники. Они все в России. Даже после 21 сентября ни один срочник на территорию Украины не поехал.

  382.  @dhjijejd6980  про%бов при мобилизации на 300 тысячную армию было всего около 100. Да и в украинской армии с оснащением мобилизованных наверняка ситуация не лучше, учитывая опять же тот факт, что большая часть ВСУ вооружена советским оружием.

  392. And what makes you think that the war will go to the complete capture of Ukraine? Russia is stronger than Ukraine, but Russia is not fighting at full strength, because Putin is afraid for his power, afraid of the revolution, so Russia is fighting at half strength, using only volunteers. At the same time, the West provided Ukraine with $150 billion worth of military and economic assistance. These two factors have balanced forces, as a result of which we have a static front on which nothing changes for months. The war will most likely end with a truce and the inclusion in Russia of those territories that are under the control of Russia. And for many months the position of the front will not change.

  393.  @figerdron_8972  войну развязал не Путин, война началась ещё в 2014 году. На Донбассе русские составляют около 50% населения. В 2014 году русские люди на Донбассе подняли восстание, они протестовали. Русские сепаратисты хотели отделиться от Украины, где незадолго до этого произошёл незаконный анти-российский госпереворот. В целях подавления протестов украинские каратели поехали на Донбасс убивать русских, а затем там 8 лет шли боевые действия и бомбёжки. А Россия пришла чтобы защитить право на самоопределение тех русских людей, которые там живут. И с каких пор самая коррумпированная и нищяя страна Европы (Украина) - это "центр Европы"? Это вымирающая пост-советская окраина с мифической мечтой о Евроинтеграции и Западном благоденствии. Такие влажные мечты когда то были и у нас, в девяностые и нулевые Россия проводила политику сближения с Западом. В ранние нулевые Путин даже говорил о вступлении России в НАТО и ЕС. Но мы, россияне, поняли что мы не нужны Западу, что эти мечты не сбудутся, что нас не примут в ЕС и НАТО, и что нашей стране придётся идти по другому пути. Но всё ещё есть либералы, которые верят в бредни про "Западный путь", что "рыночек порешает" (в девяностые уже порешал) и что "демократия лучшая система", хотя опять же - в чём преимущества демократии? Достаточно посмотреть на ситуацию в США прямо сейчас - Джо Байден, 80-летний старик с деменцией, который жмёт руку воздуху, и Трамп, который выдвинется на выборах как независимый кандидат и отберёт часть голосов у Де-Сантиса. Или например Россия девяностых, где парламент был разделен между демократами и коммунистами 50/50, и не мог принять никакие решения, в 1993 году этот парламент расстреливали из танков, а все политические партии контролировались олигархами. И в чём же преимущества демократии по сравнению с авторитарной системой?

  394.  @figerdron_8972  ну это были протесты с насилием. Чем это отличается от Майдана? На Майдане знаешь ли тоже гибли люди, гибли полицейские, происходило насилие. То же самое было и на Донбассе, я с этим не спорю. Протесты сопровождались убийствами, в том числе 12 апреля 2014 года отрядом Игоря Стрелкова в Славянске был убит украинский полицейский. Но на Майдане тоже были убийства. А война началась именно с того, что 14 апреля 2014 года министерство обороны Украины объявило о проведении "анти-террористической операции", после чего украинские каратели поехали на Донбасс убивать русских и началась война. Я считаю, что русские люди на Донбассе имеют такое же право на самоопределение, а Киевское правительство, которое в 2014 году само пришло к власти в результате незаконного госпереворота, не имеет морального права называть их "незаконными сепаратистами". Сами пришли к власти в результате кровавой революции, и хватает лицемерия проводить АТО против протестующих на Донбассе. Что касаемо протестов, то любые протесты, любая революция - это всегда воля народа. Это невозможно устроить искусственно. Революция работает по такому принципу, что народ, доведённый до отчаяния, выходит на улицы и протестует. Однако в чём смысл протестов, какова цель? Цель протестов - свержение власти. Однако тут возникает вопрос - вот свергнем мы власть, а кто придёт на смену? Кто заменит тех правителей, которых мы свергнем? И тут появляется какой нибудь интеллигентишка, который умеет красиво разговаривать и много обещать. И революционеры слепо идут за этим интеллигентишкой. Так работает любая революция, достаточно вспомнить 1917 год. Ленин был в Швейцарии, когда в России вспыхнули протесты. Это абсолютно неуправляемый процесс, который невозможно организовать искусственно, это воля народа. Протестующие революционеры по сути просто ждут, пока придёт кто-то умный, кто с ними согласится и их возглавит. Собственно это и было в Украине в 2014 году, когда в результате протестов на Майдане одни украинские олигархи свергли других. Революцию невозможно устроить искусственно, но можно возглавить толпу. И любая революция заканчивалась тем, что приходил кто-то со стороны, кто возглавлял толпу. Однако этот кто-то не был зачинщиком революции и никогда не был способен её устроить.

  399.  @Wladyslaw1440  war is a very expensive and financially costly business. Ukraine's economy collapsed as a result of the war. The Ukrainian economy has suffered from war much more than the Russian economy has suffered from sanctions. Without the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have been defeated long ago. In 2022, the West provided Ukraine with about 120 billion euros of financial assistance. These are three annual state budgets of Ukraine. Three annual budgets (36 months) of the country for 10 months of 2022. 15 military budgets. Before the war, in 2021, for example, Ukraine spent about 8 billion euros on the army, about 20% of the state budget. In 2022, Ukraine was allocated 120 billion euros of financial assistance. Without this help, Ukraine would not be able to wage war for economic reasons, and Russian tanks would have been in Odessa and Kiev for a long time. If not for the financial assistance of the West, Ukraine would have capitulated in the summer of 2022. And Russia, in fact, is not fighting against Ukraine. Russia is fighting against the Western Bloc. Russia is fighting against part of NATO. The United States, Britain and France have nuclear weapons, and Russia also has nuclear weapons. Therefore, a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO is impossible. And the West uses Ukrainians and Ukraine instead of its own soldiers. As for arms supplies, they amount to about $30 billion. Russia spent so much money before the war on rearmament of the army in 3 years. Ukraine has exhausted its reserves of Soviet artillery ammunition and is now fighting with American artillery and American ammunition. Without these American guns, Ukraine would have no guns at all. At the same time, Ukraine fires several times less ammunition every day than Russia. And even so, Britain, the USA and Poland do not have enough production capacity to provide the AFU. Their production is lower than consumption. So, in fact, Russia is fighting against NATO. If it were not for the support of the West, Russia would have already captured the whole of Ukraine twice in last year. The reason for all the failures and defeats of the Russian army is the insufficient initial number of troops. On February 24, 2022, when the war began, Russia fielded only about 100 thousand soldiers against Ukraine. Plus several tens of thousands of soldiers from the DPR and LPR. There were about 150 thousand soldiers in Ukraine already on the first day of the war. That is, at the beginning of the war, the number of the two armies was comparable. And as you know, a numerical advantage of at least one and a half times is needed for a successful offensive. Ukraine began to mobilize already on the first day of the war. In the first two months of the war, the Russian army was still able to move somewhere, but over time the Russian offensive stalled, due to the fact that Ukraine had been mobilizing since the first day of the war, and the number of the Ukrainian army was growing every day. The Russian offensive is bogged down by superior Ukrainian numbers. Do not forget that Ukrainians have been preparing for war for 8 years and building fortifications in the east of the country. In the first seven months, Russia fought against Ukraine with a relatively small contingent of contract soldiers, without conscripts and without mobilization. Thanks to the numerical superiority that the APU accumulated during the 7 months of the war, the APU was able to launch a successful offensive in September 2022. But the Ukrainian army won stupidly due to numerical superiority. In other words, it's not an equal fight. Under equal conditions, the Russian army demonstrated a much higher combat capability in March 2022, capturing huge amount of territory. As of mid-April 2022, the Russians have seized territory in Ukraine the size of England. Do not forget that the Ukrainian army is much stronger than the French, German or British army. Ukraine on February 24, 2022 had ~150 thousand. soldiers and 1,000 tanks, the AFU is the largest army in Europe. For comparison, Britain in 2021 had about 70 thousand soldiers and 200 tanks. Germany has 80,000 soldiers and 400 tanks, and France had 120,000 soldiers and 600 tanks in 2021. As of February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian army was the most numerous and mechanized in all of Europe, not counting the Russian army. It is quite easy to defeat the Russian army when Russia is fighting without mobilization, when Russia is fighting without conscripts, when Russia is fighting with a limited contingent of 100 thousand soldiers, and you already have a comparable army on the first day of the war, and you are mobilizing from the first day of the war, and the West also gives you unlimited resources to wage war. Unlimited amount of money, a huge amount of weapons. And in the end, despite all these weapons, despite all this help, despite the numerical superiority of the AFU, at the end of one year Russia is still winning - 60% of the Kherson region, half of the Zaporozhye region, 30% of Donetsk region and 70% of the Luhansk region have been occupied by Russia since February 24, 2022. This means that, on average, over the past year, the Russian army has acted more successfully than the Ukrainian army, and Russia is still winning.

  410. Russia is no longer aiming to seize territories. Russia is now trying to keep under control what it has. And to this end, Russia is doing what is called in military language "holding the initiative." Russian troops carry out small attacks on Ukrainian positions, and then return back. You need to attack in order to have an advantage in initiative over the enemy, then the enemy will not be able to attack you. Your enemy cannot attack you, if you attack, your enemy will have to defend himself. Russia attacks in several sectors of the front - near Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka and Vuhledar, so Ukraine cannot attack and Russia holds the territory

  416. Российское правительство практически полностью запретило торговлю долларами и иностранной своему населению, поэтому российское государство просто рисует курс рубля так, как оно хочет, притом что население не может обменять эти рубли на иностранную валюту. Это как в старые советские времена. Советское правительство также рисовало цену рубля так, как оно хотело. Но эта цена не была установлена рынком. И никто в Мире не верил в сказки советского правительства о цене рубля. Таким образом, Советский Союз покупал импорт по ценам, намного превышающими среднемировые. В то же время советский экспорт был очень дешевым, советские товары продавались намного дешевле, в сравнении со средне мировыми ценами. Так что по сути называемый российским правительством сейчас курс рубля по сути не настоящий, он фейковый. Центробанк России просто рисует цену рубля, но по факту в Мире никто этому не будет верить. #### Российская экономика зависит от импорта. Кроме того, российская экономика имеет огромное государственное участие, и Путин объявил, что компании-импортеры получат доступ к торговле валютой по той цене, которая была установлена российским правительством. Однако на вряд ли на это согласятся продавцы из заграницы. Кроме того, Путину нужно держать курс рубля, потому что Россия объявила о торговле газом за рубли, поэтому Россия будет продавать газ, и эти рубли будут конвертированы в доллары по той цене доллара, которую установит российское правительство. Таким образом, российское правительство будет просто получать деньги из воздуха, обманывая весь Мир. Европа нам будет платить за газ ы рублях, а мы по своему собственному куру типа будем переводить это в доллары. Проблема в том, что лишь небольшое количество компаний согласилось на российское предложение о торговле газом за рубли, и этот план по сути провалился. Цена рубля - полная фальшивка, но это влияет на статистику, и если бы мы посмотрели на статистику, то увидели бы, что российская экономика типа "растет". Но это ложь, потому что на самом деле цены в России растут, это прекрасно видно. Лживый, фантомный курс рубля не только фальсифицирует экономическую статистику, но еще и дает рост морального духа для населения России, которое начинает думать, что санкции нам ни по чем. 1) Европа откажется от российского газа, нефти и угля в течение следующих нескольких лет, несмотря на то, что на газ и нефть приходится 20% экономики и 40% государственного бюджета России. До этого момента конкуренция с российскими производителями не позволяла американцам занять весь Европейский рынок. Сжиженный газ дороже, чем трубопровод, так что Россия до этого выигрывала конкуренцию. Теперь, когда Россия начала войну, Европа планирует отказаться от российского газа, а американцы, арабы или любые другие производители в Мире планируют увеличить добычу. Другие производители нефти и газа займут лакомый Европейский рынок не в результате честной конкуренции, а просто по плану, несмотря на то, что покупать у Америки менее выгодно. 2)А у России на самом деле нет особых покупателей нефти и газа, кроме Европы. Неясно, как будет жить Ресурсная Федерация через 5 лет. Тот же Китай по сути по полной программе имеет Россию, пользуясь тем, что Россия погружается в Международную изоляцию, и Китай покупает у России нефть и газ по ценам, гораздо ниже среднемировых. А еще китайцы задешево вырубают Сибирские леса. Тот же газопровод Сила Сибири оказался полностью убыточным. А на Китай приходится всего 20% экспорта российского газа, притом что Китай в последние годы отказывался от российского газа, видимо боясь стать политически зависимым от России, и Китай в последние годы наращивал закупки сжиженного газа. Так что никаких перспектив у России переориентироваться на Азию нет. 3)Добыча нефти в России зависит от американских технологий бурения, в России уже несколько лет стоит вопрос о том, что запасы нефти, которые можно легко добывать, заканчиваются. Американцы уже ушли с российского рынка буровых технологий. Таким образом, помимо того факта, что у России не будет покупателей, у России не будет технологий для бурения новых скважин. А остановка добычи нефти или газа в скважине приводит к ее дальнейшей непригодности. 4) Россия была отрезана от большей части ее резервов, которые ранее считались неисчерпаемыми, Россия потеряла 300 миллиардов долларов из 600, что равно 1.5 государственным бюджетам за год. Эти резервы создавались годами, а теперь они просто заморожены. 5) Россия лишится импорта запасных частей и технологий, от которых зависит российская автомобильная и авиационная промышленность - производство АвтоВАЗа в Самаре уже остановлено. Российское производство мотоциклов переместилось в Казахстан. 6) Различные международные компании уходят с российского рынка. В частности, монополисты в области микрочипов и логистики, контейнерного строительства уже покинули Россию, несмотря на то, что логистика в России и так была сложной, а российские микрочипы отстают на 20 лет. У России нет компьютерных технологий. Как будет жить наша страна дальше, просто непонятно.

  417. Россию за вторжение в Украину осудил весь Разумный Мир. Причем Разумный Мир это не только 900 миллионов человек - сразу после того, как началось российское вторжение в Украину, в ООН был проведен опрос среди всех государств об их отношении к этому. ПРОТИВ России и ЗА Украину выступил почти весь Мир - за Украину выступили все страны Южной и Центральной Америки, за исключением Венесуэллы. Венесуэлла - это безумно нищая страна с самой высокой в истории человечества инфляцией, которой правит диктатор. США и Запад, Япония, Южная Корея выступили против России. Большая часть Африки за исключением Южного Судана. Это уже более 3 миллиардов человек. Огромная часть стран Азии выступили против России. За Россию выступила только Северная Корея, Иран, Венесуэлла, Мьянма и Куба. Отсталые нищие банановые страны, которые управляются диктаторами. Запад же я напомню - это большая часть экономики Мира. К тому же та же Индия выступает против России, присоединяясь к санкциям. Но Индия ввиду довоенных хороших отношений с Россией и ввиду зависимости от российского импорта оружия не проголосовала против России в ООН. Но по сути Индия как дружественная страна потеряна. Казахстан, вроде как дружественная страна, которая входит в военный альянс ОДКБ, недавно заключила военный союз с Турцией, страной НАТО. Теперь в Казахстане будут производиться турецкие дроны, а также турецкая и казахская армии будут проводить совместные военные учения. Даже Китай, который ввиду противостояния с Западом до войны поддержал Россию, видя провал военной операции сворачивает с Россией торговлю. Т.е. замены Западного импорта китайским импортом не будет. Даже китайские компании покидают российский рынок. Путин проср@л просто всё.

  419. The situation with Ukraine is not similar to the situation with Taiwan. You forget that Taiwan is a state unrecognized by anyone in the world. Almost no one in the world recognizes the independence of Taiwan. Taiwan is the same unrecognized state as the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. So basically Ukraine is communist China. And the Russian rebels in the East of Ukraine are Taiwan. And if you support Ukraine in the war against Russian separatists, then you should support communist China in the war against separatists from Taiwan

  420.  @1SCme  Look at the map of the countries of the World that recognize the independence of China (marked in red), and the countries of the World that recognize the independence of Taiwan (marked in blue). Almost the entire map there is marked in red. And the countries that recognize the independence of Taiwan are just a few, they can be counted on the fingers. So my analogy is correct - Ukraine is communist China, and the rebels from the L-DPR are Taiwan

  421. I do not understand why everyone is surprised - Russia is fighting against Ukraine without mobilization. Russia is fighting using only contract volunteers. In fact, Russia uses somewhere around 20% of its military power. Of course, after more than half a year of war, Ukraine, thanks to mobilization, has achieved a serious numerical superiority. Without mobilization, Russia cannot really make up for losses. Using their numerical superiority, the Ukrainians are able to easily manipulate the Russians. The Ukrainians announced an attack on Kherson, Russia was forced to pull the last free forces there from other sectors of the front, as a result of which they were weakened. Then Ukraine hit the weakened area with other forces.
    1
  422. Because Ukraine throws literally all its forces to protect the city. Including Ukraine uses weapons and equipment that were originally planned to be used for the offensive. Due to the unrealistic amount of cannon fodder, Ukraine managed to hold the city in unfavorable conditions for so long, when the Russians took the city in a semi-circle, and the Ukrainian army began to suffer from a lack of supplies under the fire of Russian artillery from three sides. The ratio of losses in favor of Russia, well, or at least equal.

  425. ​ @brokenmirror715  Russia never annexed any of Georgian or Moldovan territories - Transinistria declared its independence from Moldova in 1993, just like Abkhazia and South Ossetia fought for their independence against Georgia in 1990-1993. Russia have nothing to do with that.

  427. ​​ @yourdeath1654  during the Kharkiv offensive the only reason why Ukraine succeded was numerical superiority. Russia started the war, using only volunteers among contract army, and Russia have been fighting without moblization until october 2022. So Ukrainians simply pushed with numerical superiority the least important sector of the frontline. Most land was given to Ukrainian army without a fight, because Russians were concerned of encirclements, and most land was simply given to Ukraine after retreat without a fighting. Ukraine won simply due to the numerical superioeity and Russia leaved the territory without a fight. At now, after Russia declared mobilization, Ukraine don't have any numerical superiority, so Ukrainian offensive would be a failure. Russians left Kherson because they didn't had supplies. The bridges across the river were blown. So, to save the lifes of soldiers, Russians conducted an organized retreat, leaving the territory without a fight. River also is a good defensive position. So, land fighting in this region ended.

  428. ​ @yourdeath1654  Why is Ukraine on the defensive, can you tell me? What prevented the Ukrainians from continuing their victorious march after they recaptured Kharkov in September?

Ukraine recaptured an empty potato field with nothing in it. This means nothing. In this field, Ukrainian troops are in full view, and the Russians retreated from this open field to advantageous defensive positions in the forest belt, from where Ukrainians can be shot like in a shooting range. Russian forces are advancing in the city, in the urban area, this is much harder and slower.

And what can you say about Syria, which was dismembered by the Americans, Jews and Turks. And only Russia is fighting for the territorial integrity of Syria there. But for some reason Russia is again bad, again a villain

Impose a trade blockade on the US and all Western countries. But this is nonsense. Or lift sanctions on Russia

  447. Putin's mistake is that he did not crush the Ukrainian hydra back in 2014, but hoped for a peaceful settlement of the issue. Russia has been trying to resolve the conflict peacefully for 8 years, while Ukraine was preparing for war, and Ukraine was being pumped up with weapons. And for 8 years, people have somehow forgotten about how Ukrainian punishers crushed Russian rebels in the Donbass, and the world community recognized the legitimacy of the Kyiv authorities, who came to power as a result of a coup. As a result, Putin launched the invasion in 2022 without the full support of the population, and therefore Russia fought for the first few months without mobilization, with a small, limited contingent of contract troops. Thus, from the first day of the war, the Ukrainian army had a comparable strength to the Russian one, despite the fact that a successful offensive requires a numerical superiority, and besides, Ukraine began to mobilize from the first day of the war, and Ukraine began to supply weapons for such amounts of money that Ukraine I have not spent on the army in the last 10 years. In fact, Russia has been fighting against Ukraine for several months not at full strength, using a small part of its army, while more than 30 countries supply weapons to Ukraine. Given this, Russia certainly achieved success by occupying the entire southeast, but the conflict dragged on and Ukraine, which had accumulated a numerical superiority due to mobilization, began to win.

  448. In Ukraine in 2014, nationalists who hated Russia and everything Russian came to power. As a result, the regions of Eastern Ukraine, in which half of the population are Russians and half are Ukrainians, wanted to separate from Ukraine and raised an uprising. Russian Russian Federation annexed Crimea, because it is a historical Russian land, where Ukrainians in 2014 were much less than Russians. Russian Russian regions, and in general it's fair - if the Ukrainian authorities hate Russia and everything Russian so much, then why don't they want to give us their Russian regions?

  451.  @NazBALL_1  нет, Гитлер был глубоко убежденным в своих идеях человеком. Он хотел построить государство по этническому расселению людей, т.е. территория Германии находится там, где живут немцы. В Чехословакии немецкое меньшинство реально притеснялось, потому что Чехословакия была сама довольно националистическим государством со своими имперскими замашками, чешский националист был советником американского президента, когда в 1918 году обсуждались условия мирного договора с Германией и чертились границы. Так что в состав Чехословакии попали территории, где немцев было 90-95% и которые Чехии исторически никогда не принадлежали. В Австрии весомая часть населения не была против. В Польше немцев тоже притесняли из-за имперского прошлого Германии, Польша до сих пор помнит России разделы Речи Посполитой и все вторжения. Хотя, притесняли не сильно и Гитлеровское вторжение в Польшу абсолютно неоправдано с этой точки зрения. С другой стороны Мемель был опять же немецкой территорией, которую включили в состав Польши в 1918, а Гитлеру нравились "справедливые границы" Однако после Австрии и Чехословакии Польша, обученная их опытом, заключила союз с Британией и Францией, и война с Польшей для Гитлера означала войну с Британией и Францией, но Гитлер пошел на это. А потом пришлось и вовсе воевать против СССР, поскольку Гитлер, захватив Польшу, разрушил барьер между Германией и СССР, у Германии и СССР появилась общяя граница, а значит, возможность войны. И Гитлер решил захватить СССР потому что ему нужны были ресурсы для войны с Британией, он не считал славян за равных немцам людей, а еще он сам боялся советского вторжения. Как то так.

  459.  @Conservative168  war will be over politically, because politically and symbolically this war started in the Donbass region. This war started when Donetsk People's Republic declared independence from Ukraine on April 6th 2014, later it was frozen, SMO in 2022 started after Russia recognized independence of Donetsk and Luhansk PRs. All this war is rotating around Donbass region politically, and if one side loses it completely, for this side war becomes lost and meaningless. After the capture of Donbass Russia may advance to Zaporojie and return to Kherson - secure by 100% it's annexed regions. This will probably take another 2 years and war will last up to 2028, if Ukraine will not surrender to negotiations after losing Donbass
    1
  460.  @Conservative168  I think this is impossible for Russia with current military capabilities, Russia is fighting without mobilization and without conscripts, and because this is an offensive war, Russian population doesn't want to fight this war, despite majority of Russian population supporting SMO in Ukraine. Russia will have serious problems with volunteers by 2027 and population is both Russia and Ukraine is already tired of war, so I think maximum what Russia can achieve is to capture Donbass region and force Ukraine to negotiations, or capture 100% of territories of annexed regions, but there is trouble with Zaporojie city, because half of the city is located on the right bank of Dnipro river. Russia is able to cross Dnipro river near Kherson because after the destruction of Kakhovka Dam in june 2023 Dnipro river shrinked in Krerson region, but with Zaporojie there will be a trouble

And all documents Russia and Ukraine signed in 90s had this 1990 proclaimation as foundament

Because Putin didn't declared the war to Ukraine, and Putin even don't call it war, it is "special military operation" , there is no mobilization in Russia, and Russian troops are outnumbered. If Ukrainians would pass Russian border, Russians would start the mobilization and they would capture all Ukraine, having numerical superiority

  469.  @YT_Man_55  Абхазия и Осетия это не ваши земли. До того, как Российская Империя в 19 веке колонизировала Кавказ, Осетия существовала как нечто отдельное от Грузии. Государственности там не было, там был кланово-кастовый строй. Впрочем, на Кавказе до сих пор так. В той же Чечне есть кланы и вся чеченская политика основывается на решениях этих кланов. Так вот, в 19 веке Россия колонизировала Кавказ. Грузия например добровольно вступила в состав России, чтобы защититься от Турции. Однако российским колонизаторам было плевать, как чертить границу, и они включили Осетию и Абхазию в состав Грузии. При этом в Российской Империи, в отличие от СССР, национальных республик не было и границы чертились произвольно. В 1917 году в России произошли две революции, потом гражданская война. Грузию сначала захватила Турция, а потом Турцию победила Британия и Франция, после чего Грузия была "независимой страной" - а по факту Грузию оккупировали англичане, которые разворовывали Грузию и выкачивали из нее все ресурсы. Затем пришли советские коммунисты, которые хотели устроить Мировую революцию, прогнали англичан из Грузии и вместе с местными грузинскими коммунистами установили в Грузии советскую власть. При этом границы они почему то менять не стали, и Осетия с Абхазией остались в составе Грузии, хотя даже в 1920-е годы это было некорректно - абхазы и осетины ради освобождения от Грузии помогали русским военным во время их наступления на Грузию, и симпатизировали советским коммунистам, в отличие от большинства населения Грузии. Во время распада СССР Абхазия и Осетия снова попытались отделиться от Грузии - уже в 1990 году Осетия объявила о выходе из состава Грузии, когда СССР еще существовал. А сразу после распада СССР в Абхазии и Осетии началось вооруженное восстание и война, где осетинские и абхазские повстанцы воевали против грузинских войск. Где ты, шизофреник, увидел тут "руку России"? Война в Осетии и Абхазии была в 1991-92 годах. Россия к этой войне отношения никакого не имеет. Абхазы и осетины подняли вооруженное восстание и воевали за свою независимость от грузинского правления. В 2008 году Россия провела миротворческую операцию против Грузии, под предлогом защиты независимоти Абхазии и Осетии. Однако это уже другая история и другой конфликт. И Россия это сделала в 2008 для достижения более широких геополитических целей - военная операция в Грузии в 2008 была ответом на признание независимости Косово в 2007 году. Признание независимости Косово противоречит уставу ООН, международному праву и принципу нерушимости границ. "Если Западу можно, почему России нельзя?" - подумал Путин и начал войну в Грузии. Война в Грузии была скорее демонстрацией силы перед Западом

  470.  @YT_Man_55  война в Абхазии и Осетии была в 1991-92 годах, и Россия к ним не имеет никакого отношения - Абхазия и Осетия объявили о своем выходе из состава Грузии еще в 1990 году, до распада СССР. К тому же зачем России вообще в 1992 году поддерживать каких то повстанцев в пост-советской стране, если Россия сама только что развалила СССР? Это же Россия сыграла ключевую роль в распаде СССР. Это Борис Ельцин, глава Российской советской республики, сыграл ключевую роль в победе над советской властью и диктатом КПСС. Это Россия, Украина и Беларусь подписали Беловежские соглашения, которые положили конец СССР. России не было никакого смысла в 90-е устраивать в какой-то соседней стране сепаратистский конфликт. Россия в 90-е была демократическим и свободным государством. В 90-е у нас были честные выборы. В 90-е у нас была свобода слова. Ты шизофреник, который не хочет признавать правду, и прячется за удобными только тебе самому выдумками и бреднями. Якобы Россия виновата в том, что абхазы и осетины не хотят жить в Грузии, а хотят жить в своих собственных странах, а потому они в 1991 подняли вооруженное восстание против грузинских властей

There was an incident when mobilized tankers were given rusty machine guns - this was due to the fact that some conditions were violated during storage, and the machine guns rusted. Those tankers were later replaced with machine guns. For a huge army of 300,000, of course, there will be failures, there will be oversights. But these are isolated cases. Do not forget that there is an information war going on, and Ukrainians love to dress up in Russian military uniforms and shoot false videos about mobilization in Russia. Only in Ukraine things are even worse with mobilization

  487.  @frankthetank5708  When Germany attacked Czechoslovakia in 1939, Germany was right. First, Czechoslovakia in 1938 was the same nationalist state. Secondly, the Czech nationalist was an adviser to American President Woodrow Wilson, and when the First World War ended, the United States demanded that Germany give Czechoslovakia its original German territories. In the Sudetenland, 80-90% of the population were Germans. Czech nationalists oppressed them and violated their rights. Germany liberated its lands in 1938

  488.  @dhjijejd6980  I already wrote to you why Russia is mobilizing - because Ukraine is also mobilizing, and Ukraine has been mobilizing since the first day of the war.

What a dumb.

Modernized in the zero and 2010s T-80 tanks. In total, Russia had about 3600 tanks on February 24, which corresponded to the American counterparts of the late 2000s and early 2010s. As for Ukraine, Ukraine is armed with Soviet rubbish. Ukraine is a backward country, which does not even have such a military industry as ours. All armaments of Ukraine are inferior to Russian ones by 20 years. At the same time, Ukraine receives modern Western weapons in small quantities, which are superior to any Russian.

  491.  @akend4426  Over the past 8 years, until February 24, 2022, the losses of the belligerents in the Donbass were indeed not as great as after February 24, 2022. However, it was impossible to leave everything as it was. People in the rebel-controlled territories of eastern Ukraine lived in unrecognized states, under constant Ukrainian shelling, water and electricity cuts, and in poverty. It couldn't be left like that. When this war was supposed to start, and no matter what year, 2014, 2017 or 2022. Because this is an acute issue of self-determination of Donbass. There was no other way to resolve the issue of self-determination of people in these territories. Because it is clear that Ukraine will not allow the separatists to secede.

  493.  @Χαρης-δ5π  I am a military historian, and even before the war I studied the Russian army, trying to compare it with NATO and the United States. Russia has a very small army after Putin's reforms. The number was reduced in order to improve the quality. But the fact is that out of a million military personnel, Russia has less than 400,000 infantrymen, paratroopers and marines. The remaining 600,000 servicemen are the fleet, aviation, nuclear troops, etc. At the same time, Putin started the war using only volunteers from among contract soldiers. Thus, out of 400 thousand soldiers at its disposal, Russia was able to use somewhere between 100-150 thousand against 220 thousand Ukrainians. Ukraine has also been mobilizing since the first day of the war. Russian offensive bogged down in Ukrainian numbers
    1
  494.  @Χαρης-δ5π  Well, yes. The defending side has the advantage in losses. At the same time, the defending Ukrainian army also has a numerical superiority. Russian offensive gradually bogged down

  496.  @Googles23m  Russia is fighting against Ukraine without mobilization, by using only conctract troops. While Ukraine is providing full-scale mobilization. Of course Russian advance slowed down due to the numerical superiority, that Ukrainian side have. Also, Ukraine have intelligence suppourt and arms suppourt from the West. And despite this fact Russia is still advancing and capturing territories, while Ukrainian officials are promising to recapture Kheeson for 2 months.

Во время правления Сталина их раскулачили, и они на повозке с лошадьми путешествовали через всю Россию, останавливаясь для заработка и пополнения припасов в городах на пару месяцев. По итогу когда они дошли Байкала, в 1941 началась война. Мой пра-прадед попал под первую волную мобилизации, и погиб в августе 1941 бесславной смертью - их разбомбили в поезде на пути к линии фронта немецкие самолеты. А семья осталась жить рядом с Байкалом.

  504. Im Allgemeinen gibt es tatsächlich keine gegenseitigen Bedrohungen zwischen Russland und dem Westen. Russland war bis 2022 der wichtigste Rohstofflieferant für den Westen. Und das Handelsvolumen ist immer noch sehr hoch. Bis 2022 hatten russische Beamte, Oligarchen und Abgeordnete Villen, Yachten und Bankkonten im Westen. Russland verfügt über Atomwaffen, die Sicherheit vor Angriffen garantieren. Von Russland geht keine Bedrohung für den Westen aus. Und es gibt keine Bedrohung für Russland aus dem Westen und der NATO. Es ist alles Unsinn, was die Medien sagen. Es ist nur so, dass Russland einen ethnischen Konflikt mit der Ukraine hat. Dieser militärische Konflikt ist absolut derselbe wie im Kosovo, in Bosnien, Abchasien, Ossetien, Karabach. Dies ist ein Krieg um umstrittene Gebiete. Im Südosten der Ukraine waren im Jahr 2013, vor 10 Jahren, etwa 50 % der Bevölkerung Russen. Auf der Krim machten laut Statistik des Innenministeriums der Ukraine für das Jahr 2013 Russen 60 % der Bevölkerung aus, während Ukrainer nur 16 % ausmachten. Und 2014 entfachten diese Russen dort einen bewaffneten Aufstand. Die Ukraine versuchte, die Separatisten zu unterdrücken, wozu sie das Recht hatte, aber Russland griff ein. Russland unterstützt die Rebellen seit 2014. Dann nahm die Ukraine Kurs auf den NATO-Beitritt. Die NATO hat Atomwaffen und die NATO ist stärker als Russland. Daher könnte die Ukraine durch den NATO-Beitritt ungestraft die Rebellen im Donbass angreifen, während Russland ruhig am Rand sitzen würde. Die Ukraine wollte der NATO beitreten, um den Donbass anzugreifen. Wenn Russland die Ukraine nicht angegriffen hätte, wäre dies passiert. Dieser Krieg war unvermeidlich. Die Ukraine hat die Minsker Vereinbarungen zweimal unterzeichnet, Russland, Deutschland und Frankreich sind Garanten für ihre Umsetzung. Macron und Scholz kamen kurz vor Kriegsbeginn nach Moskau. Putin erzählte ihnen von all dem - dass die Verhandlungen zwischen Russland und der NATO, die Ende 2021 stattfanden, gescheitert seien. Putin sagte ihnen, der NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine sei ein Pulverfass und dies dürfe nicht zugelassen werden. Aber es kam zu keiner Einigung. Und kürzlich gaben Merkel und Selenskyj zu, dass diese Vereinbarungen von Minsk nur nötig waren, um Zeit zu gewinnen, um Russland zu täuschen. Aber im Allgemeinen gibt es keinen Konflikt zwischen Russland und dem Westen.

  509. Russia is no longer aiming to seize territories. Russia is now trying to keep under control what it has. And to this end, Russia is doing what is called in military language "holding the initiative." Russian troops carry out small attacks on Ukrainian positions, and then return back. You need to attack in order to have an advantage in initiative over the enemy, then the enemy will not be able to attack you. Your enemy cannot attack you, if you attack, your enemy will have to defend himself. Russia attacks in several sectors of the front - near Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka and Vuhledar, so Ukraine cannot attack and Russia holds the territory

  511.  @ИгорьПахомов-п5х  Поражения России в любом случае не будет - русская армия увязла в Украине, поскольку в России не идет мобилизация, т.к. и война не объявлена, а это называют "спецоперацией". Поскольку в России нет военной мобилизации, армия по численности осталась на довоенном уровне, украинская армия сейчас имеет численный перевес над русскими войсками. Поскольку Путин не объявил войну, контрактники в России способны даже отказываться от воинской службы в Украине, а призывников на фронт русское командование пока что боится бросать - в Украине есть призывники, однако их меньшинство, а в России уже было подожженно более 10 военкоматов, протестуют матери, и был даже вывод некоторых подразделений из Украины на базы в России. По сути, Россия воюет против Украины в четверть своей силы, с довоенной численностью армии, без мобилизации, без стратегической авиации. Да и русская группировка вторжения еще 24 февраля по численности уступала обороняющейся украинской армии, притом что атакующая сторона по законам военной науки, при прочих равных несет большие потери. Так что нет ничего удивительного, что русские войска не смогли захватить серьезную долю украинских территорий и увязли - русские атаковали в численном меньшинстве, а в самой России нет мобилизации, поскольку война не объявлена, а к третьему месяцу войны у украинцев численный перевес. Однако стоит признать - Украина это самая большая страна Европы, и русские войска на самом то деле достигли добротных успехов, взяв территорию размером с половину Италии или треть Германии. Да и украинская армия показала себя ничуть не лучше - украинцы тоже очень медленно контратакуют, медленно наступают, еще медленнее, чем русские войска. Так что чья бы корова еще мычала про то, насколько типа плоха русская армия. Если Зеленский не подпишет мир с территориальными уступками, и война продолжится, то со временем, тем более если русская армия будет проигрывать, Путин просто объявит настоящую войну и начнет мобилизацию. И вот тогда Украина будет просто обречена. У России более чем в три раза больше населения, чем у Украины - 146 миллионов против 41. Военная промышленность и потенциал гораздо выше. Если украинцы не пойдут на территориальные уступки, и более того, если украинцы будут побеждать, они запустят таймер обратного отсчета. В России будет мобилизация и перестроение экономики на военные рельсы. Если украинцы будут побеждать, они проиграют. Зеленский зря говорит, что переговоров с Россией не будет, пока русские не покинут Крым и Донбасс. Русские не покинут Крым и Донбасс, а если украинцы попытаются взять это силой, Россия выйдет из режима спецоперации в режим настоящей войны. Имея трехкратное численное превосходство, русская армия будет способна взять даже Киев, поскольку практика показывает, что соотношение потерь между русской и украинской армиями примерно равное, уровень обученности и боеспособности двух армий примерно равный.

  514.  @ИгорьПахомов-п5х  так их заставят. Призывная же армия. Если россияне позволили войне впринципе случиться, то я не думаю, что в России назреет какая то революция в случае мобилизации. Тем более, если мобилизация будет спровоцирована выходом украинских войск на российскую территорию
    1
  515.  @ИгорьПахомов-п5х  на счет Донбасса : я не это имел ввиду. Типа, Путин же говорит нам, что целью "спецоперации" в Украине является защита Донбасса. Т.е. для достижения этой цели нужно было просто закончить войну, которая на Донбассе шла с 6 апреля 2014. А для этого начинать еще одну войну было совсем необязательно. Достаточно было просто ввести российские войска в ДНР и ЛНР, и аннексировать в состав России подконтрольные сепаратистам регионы. А войну с Украиной вообще не начинать. Вот когда я вижу всяких сторооников Путина, которые оправдывают войну, я всегда до них пытаюсь донести мысль, что ихняя "спецоперация" полностью противоречит поставленным задачам. Если мы так хотим защитить жителей Донбасса, которые 8 лет страдают от войны, то зачем мы начали еще более масштабную войну? Если можно было просто ввести войска в Донбасс, что было сделано 22 февраля 2022, и без боевых действий включить Донбасс в состав России, не начиная войну с Украиной. Да, безусловно, за Украиной остались бы некоторые территории ДНР и ЛНР. Однако я не думаю, что кровопролитная война с братским народом, которая сопровождается гибелью мирных жителей, военными преступлениями, изоляцией России, культурой отмены и развалом экономики России, стоит того, чтобы просто довести подконтрольные нам территории двух регионов Украины до их официального положения. Целью Путин обозначил прекращение войны на Донбассе. Миротворческая операция. Её осуществили 22-23 числа. На этом нужно было остановиться. Это был бы лучший сценарий.

  516.  @Silvergalaxy7383  Ukraine opening front in Kursk was beneficial for Russia. Before Kursk operation, Russians were capturing 200 square kilometers of land per month on the Donbass front. Ukrainians have weakened their defenses to invade Russia, and while Ukraine captured 1200 square kilometers of land in Kursk, Russians started to capture 600-800 square kilometers per month in the Donbass instead of 200. And at the end Ukrainians also lost these 1200 square kilometers. So, Ukraine lost at Kursk while their goal was a madness from the start - Russia is biggest country in the World, a country with population of 140 million people. What they wanted to achieve? Capture Kursk, or Moscow, or Vladivostok? And alongside losing elite units in Kursk they lost a 2000 square kilometers more land in the Donbass. This is a complete disaster for Ukraine. Russians stopped their offensive in south Donetsk region after capturing several cities and nearly reaching Dnipro region border. Russians regroupped their forces to finnish Ukraine in Kursk, giving Ukraine opportunity to recapture some land in the Donbass. But again - land exchange is highly in favour of Russia. Russia captured 300 square kilometers in Kursk, while Ukraine recaptured barely 30 square kilometers in the Donbass after Russians captured extra 2000 as a result of Kursk operation. Russians are trying to conduct a diversion moves in Zaporojie, and there is equal exchange in Kupyansk front, but Russians are concentrated in Sumy and Belgorod right now after Ukrainian command made another low IQ move. Ukraine is sacrficing its soldiers in useless assaults for PR in media and TV, while all Russian media was blocked in the West. So this is simple PR propaganda move with no goal of capturing 7 square kilometers in 7 days, sacrficing already few batallions of cannon fodder, in a country with area of 17.1 million square kilometers. Soon the negotiations will lead to ceasefire and Zelensky lost the only card he wanted to use against Russia - to exchange land in Kursk for Russian controlled lands somewhere else. Without Kursk front, now front is balanced and Russia will barely capture 150-200 square kilometers per month, like it was before Kursk incursion. With such a rate war have mo meaning to continue for Russia either.

  518.  @KarafutodoPrefecture  this is reality. Ukraine have manpower shortages, and Ukrainian police is simply catching men on the street like animals, Ukraine mostly spent its mobilization reserve. In conditions of manpower shortages Ukraine decided to conduct a very risky move by capturing Russian nucleal power plant in Kurchatov, Kursk region, and then blackmail Russia by this. And Ukraine used its most elite forces for this offensive, with mostly NATO weapons. Russia already destroyed few Himars and few patriot systems in Kursk region, and thanks to Zelensky Ukraine don't have decent forces in the Donbass region, while Donbass region is most strategically important area in the entire Ukraine, because this is political war goal for Russia, and this is very densely populated area with a lot of cities and urban areas, where Ukraine was building defensive lines, fortifications, bunkers, for 10 years since 2014 to 2024. This is the strongest defensive line on Planet in urban area, and Russia is crushing this defensive line with mistaken decisions and miscalculations of Zelensky

  525.  @veirant5004  Belarus cannot enter the war. Firstly, the population of Belarus hates its government and dictator Lukashenko. Lukashenko, until recently, was considered an even tougher and vile type than Putin, in 2020 there were mass protests in Belarus. They will not go to war, but rather arrange a riot, and now it will not be unarmed civilians who will rebel, but armed soldiers of the army. In 2020, Russian policemen rescued Lukashenko. But if the army rises, the Russian police will not help. Secondly, Belarus has a terrible economy. In Belarus, after the collapse of the USSR, there was almost no privatization, and everything remained state-owned. The Belarusian economy consists of several state corrupt factories that, due to the lack of competition, produce unclaimed goods. As a result, the entire Belarusian economy is unprofitable, it works at a loss. Due to constant losses, Belarus is constantly printing money and asking for help from Russia. In fact, the whole country lives on handouts from Russia. For Belarus, Russian money is like a life support apparatus. But now Russia itself is full of problems.

What they said on TV, they believe in it, this is a herd. As for parties, Russia has long had a one-party system, and there are no elections.

Absolutely paralyzing corruption. total government intervention in the economy. The result is sad. There is no competition - Russia is not capable of producing anything but oil and gas. The Russian automotive and aviation industries do not count - all the parts, all the components are foreign there. There is nothing Russian in Russian cars. Small and medium-sized businesses have been crushed, and the entire market is controlled by oligarchs. The most inefficient economy. Dissatisfied with such monstrous economic policies are imprisoned or fined. Putin and his elite steal our money, they have billions of our money stolen from now blocked bank accounts in Europe, they have palaces and yachts. And for some reason we have to go and die to war. At the same time, the children of Russian high-ranking officials live in Europe and study in England. Putin's daughter lives in the Netherlands for example. They sit, pass laws and give orders, according to which they send us to slaughter, and they themselves are all dollar billionaires, with yachts, palaces, and their children live in NATO countries and don’t even speak Russian

  529.  @Specificify  Well, then, according to your own logic, it turns out that Russia staged an uprising in the Donbass in 2014. It is impossible to artificially arrange protests or a revolution somewhere. Protests are always caused by the discontent of the people. The United States and the West can only warm up the protests through their propagandists, but not start

  531.  @goldenprincess3564  Russia has state capitalism. This is the ugliest form of capitalism, when the entire market is held by a few large state-sponsored monopolies, and there is no competition. In the absence of competition within the country, it is impossible to create a quality product that will be able to compete with foreign products. If we look at the Russian economy, we see that Russia produces almost nothing. The domestic market is dominated by imports. And even the little that Russia produces is produced on foreign equipment and from foreign components. Take the same Russian automobile or aviation industry. Engines, spare parts and details of foreign development and production. The Russians essentially just bought foreign equipment, bought foreign parts, and molded it into a car or aircraft of dubious quality. Russian cars are significantly inferior in quality to the Western automobile industry. In fact, Russia produces nothing but oil, gas and resources. The whole economy is about selling oil and buying imports. Or buy imported equipment and imported spare parts, and create some kind of nonsense out of it. As for the statistical indicators, yes, they were the world average before the sanctions. It is also important to understand here that in the summer of 2022, due to high gas and oil prices, as well as falling imports, the ruble strengthened greatly, and the value of the dollar in Russia fell. As a result, false statistics were obtained, showing Russia's GDP. But in fact, the Russian economy for 2022 has fallen sharply. Prices have risen much more than wages. And by the end of 2022, the dollar returned to the pre-war level, so by the end of 2022 Russia's GDP was statistically the same as at the beginning of 2022

  532.  @goldenprincess3564  I am a Russian citizen and live in Moscow. How can I hate my nation and country? I'm just telling the truth, I'm saying objective things. State capitalism has been built in Russia over the past 30 years. This is an economic model in which the entire domestic market belongs to a handful of monopolies sponsored by the state. In Russia, all small and medium-sized businesses are crushed by the police - if you want to do business, a prosecutor comes to you and demands money from you "for the roof." If you refuse, they will plant drugs on you. My father is a Moscow lawyer, by the way, he knows all these schemes. All small businesses are crushed, the entire market is held by monopolies sponsored by the state. At the same time, the state is very corrupt, Russia has one of the highest levels of corruption in the world, we have everything for cutting, this is the only incentive for the existence of the state. And Putin's United Russia is just a party of thieves, thieves and swindlers who draw the election results.

And this Russiam civillians were liberals from St. Petersburg, who didn't supported the war. So this is terract. Ukraine is a terrorist. Crimean bridge isn't a legitimate military. Crimea de facto is Russian territory, even if the World recognises this Russian territory as part of Ukraine

  536.  @ДаняШУЛИКИН  By the time the dam burst, the water level in the reservoir was much higher than normal. After Ukrainian missile strikes, the dam could have been damaged, after which the flow of water through the hydroelectric power station was reduced. By June 2023, the water level was already well above normal, and the damaged dam broke. There was no explosion.

  537.  @ДаняШУЛИКИН  How can a dam be repaired during a war when the river is the dividing line between the two armies? I am not an expert in the field of hydroelectric power stations, I do not yet have a professional higher education in engineering, but in my opinion, in order to repair a hydroelectric power station, you need to somehow drain the water, and there are poured concrete walls, a complex and large structure. Again, I'm not an expert, but if the Russians didn't fix the HPP, then they couldn't.

  539. Russia is no longer aiming to seize territories. Russia is now trying to keep under control what it has. And to this end, Russia is doing what is called in military language "holding the initiative." Russian troops carry out small attacks on Ukrainian positions, and then return back. You need to attack in order to have an advantage in initiative over the enemy, then the enemy will not be able to attack you. Your enemy cannot attack you, if you attack, your enemy will have to defend himself. Russia attacks in several sectors of the front - near Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka and Vuhledar, so Ukraine cannot attack and Russia holds the territory

You blaming them is such a hypocrisy and double standards. What happened in Ukraine is competition of great powers over spheres of influence. There is Russia, European Union, USA, Turkey, China, and other players that want influence over Ukraine. In 2014 America sponsored a coup in Kiev, and Russia, as an ANSWER sponsored coups in Crimea and Donbass. Russia had all rights to do this after what happened in Kiev, pro-Russian population in the Donbass had all the rights to do this after what happened in Kiev. But government from Kiev started a military operation, a war against Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Ukraine started a war against our, Russian people, and on our Russian land that Lenin gave to Ukraine in 1917. For 8 years we tried to solve conflict diplomatically, with peaceful means, but all failed, so after the last negotiations with NATO in 2021, in 2022 we tried a military solution, but it also didn't achieved maximum goals. But at least now we control all Russian populated lands in Ukraine and we are ready for dialogue and ceasefire.

  543. @markmackan3274 the president was overthrown, he was forced to leave, and there was no vote, he wasn't voted out. No matter how bad Yanukovich was, instead of making a coup, Ukrainian people could have just elected different president in upcoming election in may 2014. But instead they made a coup, and Russia as an answer played a reverse UNO card in Crimea and Donbass. None of this could have happened if Ukrainians used a legal procedure to choose a better president 2 months after. But in fact it is not Ukrainian people who did this. Ukraine as a state is oligarchy, which means that all political parties and media in Ukraine is ruled or lobbied by oligarchs. Before 2014, Russia and European Union were economically competing over Ukraine, so Ukrainian economic elites, oligarchs, divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian, and Ukrainian political parties, mass media and people divided into pro-Western and pro-Russian. President Yanukovich wasn't pro-Russian, in fact he was trying to balance between Russia and European Union, but Russian economic influence was very big, it was bigger than European. So when Yanukovich wanted to sign a deal with European Union, Russia started to threat Ukraine with trade tariffs, and Yanukovich was forced to NOT sign a deal with European Union. This provoked massive pro-Western protests in Kiev in the first place, and originally Ukrainian oligarchs have paid poor students to came to protests and oligarch-controlled mass media escalated the protests. Later American money, American media and even American politicians helped the protests - in december 2013 senator John McCain came to Kiev, he gave an inspiring speech in front of protestors. What American senator forgot in another country, thousands of kilometers from his homeland, giving an inspiring speech to protesters who want to overthrow the government and take power? Later, in january 2014 the head of American State Department, Victoria Nuland, came to Ukraine, she talked with Ukrainian politicians in charge of protests, also gave an inspiring speech to people, and gave famous cookies to protestors. And again a question rises - what American senator and head of state department were doing in Kiev during revolution? Just imagine a situation, that during a January 6th 2021 protests in USA, Russian foreign minister Lavrov comes to Washington, talks with Trump, gives a speech to protestors, gives them cookies, and later protestors storm Capitoli, Senate and White House and overthrow Biden. This is what happened in Ukraine. Also, Ukrainian oligarchs paid money for 24/7 toilets, 24/7 food, Molotov coktails, weapons and even military helmets to protestors, and one of Ukraine's oligarchs, Poroshenko, who became a president 2 months later, proudly was saying that he paid for all this. Ukrainian oligarchs and some American money have paid for 24/7 food and toilets with heating during winter, weapons and military helmets for protestors in Kiev. Later the first blood appeared, when Ukrainian policemen, who were used to brutally supress Crimea's Tatar and Russian protests for indepdendence from Ukraine (1994-2013), brutally supressed and killed now Ukrainians themselves in Kiev. Yes, that's right, Ukrainian policemen who killed people in Kiev, this exact special police unit, were the same Ukrainian policemen who were brutally supressing Russian and Tatar protests in Crimea that occured in Crimea 1994-2013. Later protestors just started to kill policemen with molotov coktails, captured state buildings and president flee from Ukraine to only country he can flee - Russia.

I think the purpose of this offensive is to encircle the Russian troops in Bakhmut, or create a bag. Once the sack is established, the supply road can play a role to attack directly into the city.

  563. ​ @jehandesains8674  as a Russian citizen I can say that "shadow mobilzation" is Ukrainian propaganda fake. For first few months of the war Russia fought with small army of 150 thousand contractor troops, while Putin guaranteed that conscripts will not fight in the war, and Russia fought will less than half of its military and without mobilization, and this was the main reason why Ukrainian offensive in Kharkov region in early september 2022 was so sucsessful - there were 2-3 Ukrainian soldiers per each Russian soldier. But after Russia conducted its own mobilization, the numbers of two opposing armies were equalized, and Ukrainian Crimean offensive in 2023 have failed on first step in Zaporojie. At now, currently Russian army also outnumbered by Ukrainian army, there are around 400 thousand Russian troops on the frontline against 500-550 thousand Ukrainian troops. If we consider the fact that Russia is able to win the battles, able to advance and capture land for more than a year straight, while Russia have LESS soldiers than Ukrainian, it is LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE that Russia more casualities than Ukraine. Ukraine suffered more KIA and WIA casialities than Russia, and also there are few times more Ukrainian POWs than Russian. Russia increased its production of FPV drones for dozens of times and at now Russia is using drones more massively than Ukraine, Russia have total superiority of firepower, artillery is a God of War than contributes 90% of casualities in all wars of modern era for last 200 years, and Russia produces 3 times more artillery shells than entire NATO alliance combined, while Ukraine already ran out of Soviet artillery shells in late 2022 and relies on HALF of NATO's arsenals. European NATO ammo storages are half empty. Also Russia modernized its aviation for more accurate glided bombs and Russia massively using 3000 kilogram bombs. Russia have total superiority over Ukraine in firepower, while Ukraine have more men than Russia, Ukrainian police is catching their citizens on the streets like animals and throw into the battle with no preparation, while Russian volunteers at now have at least 2 months of preparation. Ukraine is fighting the war with quantity, while Russia is actually fighting with quality

  566.  @buddyg7713  do you think Europeans want to fight against Russia and die in the frontlines? NATO never would intervene in this conflict, because pacifistic Western societies are against war and they don't want to go to war with Russians. At now many people in USA hate George Bush for starting war in Iraq, despite the fact that this war was victorious for USA with low casualities (only few thousand US KIA for 300+ million USA population). They don't want to participate in any war, this is why NATO withdrew from Afganistan. War in Vietnam ended because of anti-war protests. Western people would be against war with Russia if it would happen, while Russians will count this as a war for their survival against invaders. Don't underestimate Russia like Napoleon or Hitler did. Russia may appear weak in some conflicts, but Russian army always was able to study on its own mistakes. Russian army always was able to study and improve the quality. 160 million populated USSR won a phyrric victory in a war with Finland, capturing 20% of Finnish territory and 2nd largest Finnish city, and losing lives of 120 thousand soldiers for that. In a war against Finland, that had total population of 2 million. But USSR was able to defeat 70 million populated Germany, that had economic capabiluties off all Europe, and USSR defeated Germany mostly without lend-lease, which came mainly since 1944. Russian Empire lost many battles to Napoleon in the first coalition wars, but war of 1812 was a disaster for France and in 1814 Russians were in Paris. If NATO would start a war against Russia, I believe that peoples of Europe and USA would protest against this war, just like anti-war protests during the Vietnam war. And this means that NATO would fight against Russia without mobilization, while Russia would declare a war-time economy and total mobilization. No one side would be able to achieve victory. NATO without mobilization, with limited force, wouldn't be able to conquer Russia, they will capture some territories and would be bogged down, and there would be a stalemate for NATO troops exactly like for the Russians in Ukraine. About NATO training - NATO don't have an experience to fight a real wars against capable enemy, they always fought against rebels and untrained Iraqi poor equipped troops. Ukrainian and Russian army have the experience of a real war of two modern armies, so, both Ukrainian and Russian troops have better training and quality than NATO troops. Ukrainian forces, that participate in the counter-offensive were trained by NATO instructors. And we see how Leopards are burning from Russian kamikadze drones, we see that in 2 months of offensive Ukraine captured few villages with thousands of lives lost. Ukrainian army, trained by NATO instructors and equiped with NATO weapons and vehicles, is losing thousands of troops in WW1 style offensive with capturing few villages in 2 months. NATO troops are even less trained than Ukrainian troops, because unlike Ukrainians, NATO don't have experience.

  568. The reason why the Russian army was not able to quickly capture all of Ukraine, and the war dragged on, is that Russia is not fighting against Ukraine at full strength. For the first 7 months, Russia fought against Ukraine at a quarter strength, now Russia is fighting at half strength. The fact is that in Russia a significant part of society does not support this war. And even among the supporters of the war, there are people who will not approve of large losses. That is why Putin, in his speech on February 24, 2022, stated that only volunteers would fight in Ukraine. 18 year old recruits will not take part. And this is 50% of the Russian army. By the way, they still do not fight, although 11 months have passed. And among contract soldiers, only volunteers who have signed a contract fight. At the same time, war has not been legally declared, so that Russian soldiers, after the expiration of the contract, can count on vacation at the state expense, and they have the right not to conclude a new contract. Thus, many fought in Ukraine for one or two months, returned to Russia, and never returned there. In other words, out of its entire army (440 thousand soldiers), Russia deployed approximately 100 thousand soldiers in Ukraine at the same time. In fact, Russia started the war by sending a small part of its forces to Ukraine, about a quarter of the army. At the same time, Russia fought for the first 7 months without mobilization. Those. these 100,000 soldiers fought in Ukraine without reinforcements. At the same time, Ukraine had 200 thousand soldiers at the beginning of the war. The Ukrainian army from the first day of the war had a numerical advantage. As of February 24, 2022, 100 thousand Russian soldiers and 40 thousand soldiers from the DPR and LPR opposed the 200 thousandth Ukrainian army. But for a successful offensive, a numerical superiority is needed. In addition to the 200,000 original soldiers, Ukraine began to mobilize from the first day of the war. The Russian army, being in a numerical minority, successfully advanced only in the first 3 weeks. Then the offensive got bogged down in Ukrainian numbers. Nevertheless, Russia performed well until September. This tells us that the Russian army is more combat-ready, and the losses of Ukraine are higher. This is confirmed by military history. In modern warfare, 90% of losses are the result of artillery. Russia until August had a total superiority in artillery. Also, do not forget the difference between a contract soldier and an 18-year-old conscript. An 18-year-old conscript is an unfit soldier. Yesterday he was sitting at the school desk. And a contract soldier is a professional soldier, an adult 30-year-old man who voluntarily serves in the army for several years, receiving a good salary. Until the start of mobilization on September 21, 2022, Russia fought against Ukraine with volunteer contract soldiers, and Ukraine is fighting with 18-year-old cannon fodder. While Russian 18 year old conscripts still don't take part

Если бы СССР не подписал пакт с Германией, Гитлер никогда бы не осмелился напасть на Польшу, ибо Гитлер боялся, что после захвата Польши СССР присоединится к Британии и Франции, и обьявит войну. Британия, Франция и СССР в 1939 бы просто снесли Германию. Так что справедливо будет сказать, что СССР является виновником Второй Мировой не меньше, чем Германия. Злая ирония жизни заключается в том, что СССР за это поплатился 22 июня 1941 - если бы СССР и Германия не поделили Польшу в 1939, у СССР и Германии банально не было бы общей границы, а значит война между Германией и СССР была бы невозможна.

What makes you think that Russia was going to attack Moldova, if on Belarusian (not Russian) television (since when is television a reliable source) they showed a fictitious military map, because a real military map is a military secret, and on this map there was just one arrow directed towards Moldova

  580.  @КрысапёсБолотный  Харьков очень важен. Самое главное на войне - это снабжение. Сеть железных и автомобильных дорог между Россией и Украиной устроена так, что там только через Харьковскую область может проходить снабжение

  581. Россия потеряла Харьковскую область, потому что у украинской армии было численное превосходство. Россия начала проводить мобилизацию только спустя 7 месяцев войны, когда фронт уже посыпался. Поскольку Россия воевала без мобилизации, из-за недостатка подкреплений у российской армии возникли проблемы с численностью, и украинская армия накопила серьёзный численный перевес. С этим численным превосходством украинцы атаковали слабые российские позиции в Харьковской области, прорвали фронт, зашли глубоко в тыл, заняли Купянск, создав угрозу окружения российской группировке в Балаклее. В окружении у войск нет снабжения. Окружённые войска обречены. Из-за угрозы окружения российское командование просто было вынуждено без боя отдать Балаклею, иначе российские войска попали бы в котёл, где были бы разгромлены. Российские войска попытались занять оборонительные позиции на выгодных рубежах - вдоль побережья реки Оскол. После отступления российских войск за Оскол украинцы форсировали Северский Донец с юга на север, и начали просто наступать по суше вдоль восточного побережья Оскола, а затем повернули на восток - Изюм и Лиман оказались в мешках под угрозой окружения, и чтобы избежать окружения и разгрома войск, российское командование вывело оттуда войска. Затем уже пошла мобилизация, на фронт начали кидать необученное пушечное мясо, чтобы заделывать дыры. Украинское наступление постепенно затормозилось, и фронт стабилизировался на выгодных для обороны высотах вдоль границы между Харьковской и Луганской областями. Я считаю, что война за спорные территории может быть в интересах нашей страны только до тех пор, пока воюют только добровольцы. А если русских мужчин насильно гнать на фронт в захватнической наступательной войне за спорные земли, то я буду считать такую войну преступной и анти-российской. На данный момент Россия воюет только добровольцами, но если этот принцип будет нарушен, я буду считать Путина предателем и я не буду это поддерживать. Я считаю, что сохранение жизней россиян гораздо важнее захвата чужих территорий соседней страны. Поэтому пока воюют добровольцы, меня это устраивает. Если будет насильная мобилизация, я буду против войны. Я считаю абсолютно правильным то, что Россия первые 7 месяцев воевала без мобилизации, пусть это и обернулось сдачей Харьковщины. Мобилизация остановила украинское наступление, уравняв численность, и мы имеем несколько месяцев стабильности, если не учитывать отступление с правого берега Днепра. Украинцы при помощи американского высокоточного оружия повредили мосты через Днепр, из-за чего у российских войск были огромные проблемы со снабжением и подкреплениями. По Антоновскому мосту уже с августа 2022 танки например пройти не могли, легковушки кое как проезжали. У российских войск не было снабжения и подкреплений. Поэтому в октябре было проведено отступление на несколько десятков километров, для того чтобы сократить длину линий снабжения войск - до этого отступления фронт проходил почти по границе области. А в начале ноября, в целях сохранения жизней тысяч солдат было проведено отступление за Днепр. Днепр - это широченная река, которая является очень хорошей оборонительной позицией. Форсировать Днепр - самоубийство. Отступление из Херсона я считаю абсолютно правильным решением - масштаб боевых действий и потери с обоих сторон уменьшились, произошла деэскалация. Нам нужно как можно скорее закончить войну, убийства и разрушения. Россия сохранила сухопутный корридор в Крым на выгодных оборонительных рубежах вдоль широкой реки. Сухопутные боевые действия в Херсонской области фактически закончились. После событий осени 2022 года Россия проводит ограниченные мелкие наступления с целью удержания инициативы, чтобы рассредотачивать украинские силы, чтобы Украина была не способна сосредоточить кулак для наступления на Запорожье. Сейчас ещё пошла вторая волна мобилизации, на этот раз с цифровыми технологиями. Эта мобилизация предотвратит украинское наступление, к тому же на этот раз фронт сократился и оборонять его легче. Осенью 2022 года украинцы нас перехитрили - украинцы сначала начали безуспешное наступление на Херсон, российское командование стянуло туда войска, а потом украинцы резко ударили по Харьковщине. Сейчас такой финт уже не получится - длина фронта сократилась где то в 3 раза, Россия может оперативно прислать подкрепления с Донецкого направления на Запорожское, и можно оперативно прислать подкрепления с Запорожского направления на Донецкое.

  584. Russia is going to annex fully Kherson into Russia. So, if Russians would lose a huge amount of territory in the Kherson region, this would be a disaster and complete failure for them

  585. ​ @cock393  на вряд это покушение на Путина. Зачем запускать дрон в крышу здания, где стоит флаг? Откуда им было знать, что там находится Путин? К тому же после этой атаки украинцы по сути потеряли возможность убить Путина при помощи беспилотника. Такая возможность у них была на грядущее 9 мая - запустить беспилотник в Путина, который выступает с трибуны мавзолея во время парада. А теперь в Москве были запрещены полёты беспилотников, и небо над Красной Площадью будет мониторить ПВО во время парада. Украинцы сами получается лишили себя возможности сделать успешное покушение на Путина

  586.  @ryuakuma732  There was a catch in these referendums. First, the government of Ukraine has introduced criminal liability for its citizens for taking part in these elections, regardless of how they vote. Thus, those people who support Ukraine did not vote. And those people who support Russia voted. So in the referendums at the end of September, ~90% of the votes were for Russia, but the turnout was actually low, and the Russian government drew turnout numbers. Even in Russia itself, no one believes in these annexations, even on the websites of the Russian government on the Internet, these regions still do not exist.

  587.  @ryuakuma732  Zelensky's demands sound at least more feasible than Putin's. Because the Ukrainians and Zelensky will not give up, and if we want to win, we will have to go all the way. And if we look at the map, we will see that in a few months our army made a negative offensive. They left the Kharkiv region, surrendered Kherson. So the option of withdrawing troops behind the line on February 24 no longer seems unrealistic. As for the Crimea, the Crimean bridge is badly damaged, here the situation is like with Kherson - if the Ukrainian troops reach the Crimea, the Russian troops simply will not have supplies, because the bridge is destroyed.
