Russian sources say:

That over 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered rather than be slaughtered. Russia set up a special radio frequency that the Ukrainians can use to get directions on how to cross the mine fields to safety, food and medical attention. All things in short supply on the Ukrainian side of the line.

The video you posted re: the war earlier today was great. Ukraine simply cannot win this. US funding of this conflict only extends the death, injury and destruction of people and the country.

@BizSuitStacy Absolutely. The biggest threat to peace in the world remains the USA. Not satisfied with taxing your great great grandchildren to pay the Military Industrial Complex. Not enough to fight Russia via Ukraine the US now wants to fight China.

@SW-User Your ignorance of my position on the war is only out paced by your ignorance of what started the war in the first place. Let me help you out a bit. Ukraine is a very strange and diverse country. Western Ukraine is a poorer region and it has a proud people that think of themselves as being pure while they look down on the Russians as being a mongrel people. This racism commonly held in other parts of Europe is the basis of what led to large numbers of Ukrainians joining the German Waffen SS brigades during WWII. At the end of that war 14,000 Waffen SS war criminals were exported to Canada. However that did not stamp out the basic Nazi racist beliefs in Western Ukraine and those beliefs are still commonly held. So much so that there is still a Nazi brigade in Ukraine. It is called the Azov Battalion and it is popularly supported by political forces in Ukraine. In 2014 the USA did what it does best and overthrew the duly elected government of Ukraine and installed a regime that is much more friendly to the US. That regime is controlled by Nazis. Almost immediately the Eastern part of Ukraine came under attack by the Azov Battalion. What was the sin of the East? It is prosperous and the people there are ethnic Russians. As the shells rained down on places like Donetsk the people there called for Putin to do something. He didn't and that only emboldened the Azovs and their masters in Kiev and Washington. 7 years went by as Putin tried to negotiate peace. Ever heard of Minsk ! & 2? They were peace deals that had the west honored there would be no war in the region and the people living there could be living in peace. However as France and Germany said those accords were only there to help Ukraine arm itself so it could attack Russia. Finally Russia had had enough and it attacked across a broad front including sending troops toward Kiev. Almost immediately Ukraine agreed to a peace deal and Russia withdrew. Russia was no sooner moving back than the US informed Ukraine that its peace deal with Russia was not worth the paper it was written on and Ukraine attacked the retreating Russian forces in the Eastern part of Ukraine. Russia then dug in and we have the stupid war we have where Ukraine is sending in its men and western equipment against a heavily fortified Russian army and as any modern army without aircover it is being decimated. 400,000 to 500,000 Ukrainians have either been killed of so severely injured they will never fight again. The region is so littered with Ukrainian tanks and APCs and pickup trucks that it is resembling a scrap yard. Russia sent a missile along the entire front and it struck its target which means the Ukrainian air defense has been destroyed. Russia recently blew up 3000 tons of Ukrainian ammunition. Ukraine is losing support from Poland and Slovakia and Hungary. Germany is in a deep recession and France is teetering on the edge. US and Canada and Britain are about to enter a recession as well and in the mean time Russia is doing very well economically. It has a million man army ready to move forward and having depleted all its reserves and equipment there will be nothing Ukraine can do to stop it. Russia has a radio frequency that surrendering Ukrainian soldiers can call to get help as they walk across the mine fields Russia has laid down. So far 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have used that radio.

The facts are that had the US stayed out of Ukraine there would be no war. How important is the war in Ukraine? It deposed its own president (Trump) for even asking questions about Ukraine. Sadly silly people who are Rah Rah Yankees are too clueless to grasp these facts.
@SW-User have you figured out how to stand up straight to keep from dragging your knuckles on the ground?
