I ran across some of the articles that is based on yesterday, they were unsurprisingly exclusively on Russian affiliated websites - the basic gist is that due to incredible strategy, Russia has lost little to no soldiers since April last year.

I didn't share them as they were the sloppiest of shite being thrown at the wall but can dig in my history if anyone wants a chuckle.

It will be 6-10 years before Ukraine is admitted to the EU. Macron even said recently it might take decades.

It is easy for them to say this when Wagner has been doing all of their fighting. And they don't count Wagner casualties.

Ukraine Begins Training On Tanks Provided By The West I Putin's Army Begins Counter Measures

Ukrainian armed forces concluded three-day military tank drills in northeastern Kharkiv region as country’s senior military official warned of possible Russian assault from all fronts.

The rare footage shot by Reuters during the Jan 25-28 exercise was embargoed until Feb 2 for security reasons.

Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, told Ukrainian and international media he does not rule out another attack from the north, south and east around the date of February 24, the day when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Military experts say Moscow appears determined to push forward in the coming months before Kyiv receives hundreds of newly pledged Western battle tanks and armored vehicles for a counter-attack to recapture occupied territory this year.

I know that some people will look at these arrests and firings and say, "See! Ukraine has lots of corruption," but I think the correct way to see it is "Ukraine is cleaning up corruption."


You called it, you deserve a beer .

That was part of what was needed to be allowed into the EU. Much has been cleaned up in just the past year. The expansion of the war by Russia allowed Zelensky's admin to clean a lot of it up, likely most, was Russian based.

FTR, in UKR, Zelensky was losing favor among voters for not being able to completely clean up their swamp as they had hoped. 2022 called and said that it would help. The public is overwhelmingly behind Zelensky's leadership now, both with the war and cleaning up the sewerage. This is why the EU is ready for UKR to join it. Moldova and Balkan states are still quite dirty



So using conspiracy logic this must mean that Russia invaded Ukraine to actually aid Zelensky in cleaning up corruption, helping their EU bid and enabling a smoother entrance for Finland and Sweden into Nato, Putin is actually a deep cover NATO/EU operative!!

Yea between Wagner, and the separatist militias deaths, it will skew the Russian military losses. However, just from videos on Reddit you can tell losses are higher then official MoD numbers

Not banned. Frowned upon maybe, but not banned. This is one thing I wish the Russians had to deal with like the Ukrainians do. I’m to the point where I’m ready to say frick it and let’s start dropping napalm on Wagner positions. Barbecue their asses. The gloves are off.

I saw that thread. You’d have to be pretty gullible to believe that. I spelled out why in my reply…

quote:

Those numbers are laughable. If that was even close to accurate the Russians would already be in Kiev. Are the Russians in Kiev? No. They’re not even close. In fact the front lines have barely shifted one way or another in months. The war is, for all intents and purposes, a stalemate.

And I say that as perhaps one of the only truly neutral parties on either the PT or OT boards when it comes to this war.

Oh yeah. That’s a great meme. Seems like I saw it a time or two right after the Moskva was sunk.

Seems I have a down vote fan that’s followed me here. Of course they’re too chicken shite to speak up and actually say what problem they have with me. Makes me happy to know all I have to do to bother them is just be here.

For starters, while Russia was using it as AA against Ukrainian drones and aircraft, they started yelling that Ukraine was illegally firing at Donbas.
