Ukraine regains control of frontline areas in southeast and east, army chief says

As soon as German air superiority waned the Brits and USAAF were shoving bombs up anything that even smelled German

I've never heard a leftist say that though? If anything, that would be a republican thing, the people on Russias side?

Ya no but Slava Ukraini

They are scum and they know it. Look at them down voting you

At this point their economy will collapse if they win

Easy to say when you’re tucked up nicely in a democratic society where you wont be locked up and killed without a fair trial just for opposing the government’s actions. For most, the choice is death at home, or fight and possibly survive. Some have either been brainwashed to believing what they are doing is ok. Or do not want to be there but don’t have a choice. It’s sad whichever way you look at it. Pointless loss of life for a few mad men’s trophy hunt.

Would you want to live in Russia? And the Ukrainians would get treated a lot worse than native Russians. Ukraine has been a horrific war zone multiple times in the 20th century, and always abused by Russia. Stalin deliberately starved millions there for political convenience. It is not a sterile choice for them, they know better than you or I what independence is worth.

> Minnesota > brutal winters and even worse neighbors As a Canadian: hey, uncalled for :(

>Amazing seeing the dumb Yanks here whose government has completely betrayed Ukraine but still chip in to cheer their team. Says a lot about you morons Wait, you're upset that Americans who still support Ukraine, lol?

Right I wasn't sure before but I am now. You are just one of the Russian spam farm trying to create an environment of exhaustion. Nobody is buying it. Month old account with hidden comments. Speaks for itself

Ukraine for the most part plays defense. Doing that, they (very) slowly lose land while Russia loses a generation of men. In the past months, Ukraine has actually taken back land. That’s been incredibly rare. You’ve heard about successes, and there have been many throughout the war. But Ukraine’s successes were never measured in square miles.

>But I read posts years ago On your other account? And you just decided to make one less than a month ago..?

With Ukraine successfully attacking Russian oil refineries and the like I don’t think so. Russia has been making a lot of its money through its shadow fleet, which allied nations are now also going at by seizing ships so their revenue will be diminished going forward despite Trump’s attempts at aiding Putin in that regard by easing sanctions. War isn’t a straight line usually. It’s more of an ocean of chaos. Some battles are lost others are won on both sides so there’s this natural push and pull effect. However there’s no disputing the fact that Ukraine has great momentum now, again- despite Trump’s best efforts. I wish with all my heart that Ukraine can push Russia out and take back what is theirs. Nothing would make me happier. The strength, courage, resilience and determination the Ukrainian fighters and people have shown throughout this entire ordeal has been inspiring and I hope they will receive the appreciation they deserve from the rest of Europe and the EU especially going forward.

Because the media we get shown is pro-western. A Russian citizen would say the exact same thing but slanted their way. For every video you see posted of Ukrainian drones taking out Russian soldiers and vehicles there exists videos of Russians doing the same thing but you just wont see them on listnook or Twitter as much. That being said Ukraine has been doing a solid job recently retaking some key bits of territory from Russia and bogging down Russian offensives. Ukraine is fighting against an enemy with more soldiers and more overall resources and doing a tremendous job holding the Russians back and inflicting casualties on them.

Now talk about how the ~~Soviet Empire~~ glorious USSR only improved the life of it's ~~colonies~~ brother nations.

Nope just more than you apparently. If you think someone is controlling Putin and he would not do this on his own volition, it means you've never read any biographies on him, and you don't know how he came into power.
