Yesterday russia lost almost an entire battalion trying to cross a river on in eastern ukraine

It amazes me how scared of Russia everyone was. “A great Superpower” We’ve seen just how ineffective and disorganized the Russian army actually is now.
Let’s just hope they don’t choose the “Nuclear Option” as a last resort.

I mourn the youth killed, who could have been thr future of Russia were their lives not wasted on a terrible pretext for war.

Putin has much to answer for, both the Ukrainian victims and his own populace

I don't know if this is good news or not. I think Putin believes that Ukraine must remain a buffer state to avoid having NATO equipment right on Russia's border.

The fact that he has said as much in a national address makes it really unlikely he can back down from that stance. So Ukraine being neutral is an existential factor for Russia, which means nothing can be off the table, from chemical weapons to nukes.

Ukraine can beat Russian conventional forces and take out untold vehicles and troops with drones. But then what next? Does Russia just withdraw and let Ukraine grow closer to the West and more well armed? Or do they depopulate all the cities just like they did mariupol, but this time with chemical weapons and tactical nukes? Do they destroy the port in Odessa, make it so Ukraine's trade is severely impaired, then starve out the entire populace.

My suspicion is that the only reason Putin has not been able to do that yet is because the Russian population was told this was a liberation exercise. Once the Russian public accept it's a quagmire and an existential threat to Russia, Putin might have enough backing to go to the extreme measures. If that sounds far fetched, think about what the US would consider if Puerto Rico formed closer ties to China and there was an uprising where thousands of US troops were dying. This is a dangerous time

Links broken.. but I’m calling bs anyway

Seems Putin has forgotten their own history.
In WW2 it was the Ukrainians who where the better fighters.
I know I skipped a bit so no history lessons please

Finland is expected to join NATO shortly. Russia is not happy about the decision.

Suck a big fat dick Russia.

Yeah...utterly useless.

That gives me mixed feelings... I'm glad Russia's invasion is so unsuccessful, but that's a lot of lives of soldiers who didn't (directly) choose to partake in this war...

I hope they keep loosing more troups and weapons in the battle.

How many Ukranian women were spared being raped? How many men were spared being tortured? Dozens. I can only assume some people are not aware of the atrocities being committed by common Russian soldiers.

According to the Western media, Russia has lost nearly all their army who crossed over in Feb by now. Ukraine claims it has only lost 5,000 of it's millions of active, reserves, militants and foreign fighters. Yet Russia is still making progress and controlling area. I have to say the numbers don't add up
