Its ok for Russia to attack Ukraine, but Ukraine cant attack Russia? Logic from a madman..

[@stringologymchugh4245]

One has nukes and the other doesn't. One is a democracy and the other is a dictatorship which is unpredictable. But I agree with you, why not?

[@usun_politics1033]

correct

[@bigcoolviking]

Its NOT UKRAINE. It;s the peoples republics of Luhansk and Donetsk

[@MathyBoonen]

​ukraine. Wether you like it or not. Not 1 single nation has recognized the borders in russia fantasy@@bigcoolviking

[@Lee_A_Furby]

This probably explains the real reason for Viktor Orban visiting Kiev and looking for a ceasefire; Putin's orcs are struggling and with permissions to hit military targets in Russia is taking a toll. Running out of munitions, people, and vehicles... that is Russia.

[@dpelpal]

Not to mention entire world laughing at Russian army lol🤣

[@robbiekop7]

Fifty thousand soldiers from Nepal are fighting for Russia....So not everyone's laughing

[@dpelpal]

@@robbiekop7 Oh yes, Moskva still stails as well! Statue of Liberty fell down! 🤣

[@Man_v_Cars]

A moronic take. NATO, the EU, UK and US all agree Russia is producing more munitions than all of them together. They also purchase from Iran, China and NK. Ukraine is losing men at a massive rate, they are conscripting mentally challenged men and dragging them off the streets. Ukraine is losing and will suffer even more without a settlement.

[@dpelpal]

@@Man_v_Cars Russia has now lost 50% of the land they held 2 years ago. That ain't winning, son🤭

It’s Nicole Wolkov, a Russia researcher at the Institute for War ISW).

Totally unbiased and objective then 😂.

[@dpelpal]

​@@s0ycapitan Are you talking about Russia losing all of Vovchansk? 🤭

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

@@s0ycapitan I see, you are a Russian Bot. If the great country of Russia would be respectful of the international order and embraced true democracy, you would in time become one of the greatest countries if not the greatest country in Europe! China isn’t really your friend. They are hungry for your land and your resources! Come and be a part of Europe where you belong!

[@Serbian1985]

Stalled offense? Russia in south is making progress everywhere while southern defense is collapsing. Kharkiv was a faint to exhaust mobile reserves of Ukraine

[@mgaus]

Feint*

[@twokool4skool129]

Bingo. Russia only committed a few thousand troops to the Kharkov offensive. That was never enough to take the land around Kharkov much less s dense urban area like the city. It was always a distraction to pull Ukrainian away resources from other fronts. And it's working wonderfully.

Nonsense

A forever war lol

[@Withnail1969]

Is there any evidence for the claims that Ukraine is advancing in the Kharkhov area?

[@bigcoolviking]

No its utter nosense

[@twokool4skool129]

Nope. Just the opposite. Looks like Russia has even opened yet another front in the Sumy region. Never trust discredited state media like the British Times...

Having a gen z child talk about war is hilarious haha

[@GWNorth-db8vn]

It's really hard to listen to an expert who say's "uh" or "um" between every word.

[@twokool4skool129]

What would British state propaganda know about journalism? They literally had to ban RT from the entire country because they couldn't refute anything the Russians were reporting.

[@TomyD1321]

That’s great news but I heard that Russia is advancing steadily in Donetsk. Is it true?

[@dpelpal]

No they lost all of Vovchansk and 9 other towns lol

[@stephenhill545]

Yeah, 1 km a month.

[@JesterEric]

Yes about 10km2 per day on average. Biggest advances currently in New York sector

[@twokool4skool129]

Yes. Russia's made massive gains in the South. That was the whole point of the Kharkov fient, to draw Ukrainian troops away from the Southern front.

[@realitycheck1883]

This nonsense from the Nuland family think tank is the complete opposite of the truth

[@Lepocoloco]

Up is down black is white. Ruzzia is winning

[@TomyD1321]

This is what happens when country is corrupt to the heart. Justin imagine if ukraine was not corrupt how its army would have been?? They should have had what they need to defend their country.

[@Lepocoloco]

You’re a real history buff huh? Ukraine had nukes but gave them away for security guarantees from the US. You shouldn’t vote or procreate.

[@russellspeed1693]

This lady is trying as best as she can to play this game of false narrative but you can see that she doesn't quite get it.

She hasn't perfected her lying skills yet. Needs some more practice to achieve fluency. Good material, though, copes well.

Yet another rehash of an interview from yesterday with the "ah, umm" woman.

[@davidbrancaleone3039]

@rickbutcher And we are "getting tired" of posts like this one. It adds nothing. Means nothing. Is useless. The "woman" is an expert. "Getting tired" of experts, Ivan?

[@rockbutcher]

@@davidbrancaleone3039 Nope, I watched the full interview yesterday as painful as it was to sit through, she was well informed and managed to eventually get the message across. Who are these "we" you speak of? Learn to read, spell and not assume that everyone who you disagree with is a Russian. Big one finger salute to you from Canada.

[@davidbrancaleone3039]

@@rockbutcher well. It is important for me to say sorry to you for making that assumption I accept your correction. The rebuke is well deserved and I accept it. I accept your annoyance and reject your insult involving your finger, not Russian, but Canadian, as I know learn. Not sure about the point about spelling, but "we" (the Royal we) can live with that. As to the substance of your remarks, I do wonder about the value of comments about "Ah" and "um" responses. Also, I wonder whether perhaps more rehashes might be welcome, given the less than generous media coverage on Ukraine. Yes, hesitations can be distracting, but even professional broadcasters are sometimes prone to them. But my purpose in responding to you is to offer you and your Canadian finger my sincere apologies.
