@@fademaydarkness1017 Hello Dimitri! Russian propaganda at it´s best. 1) How many of the ("56" countries).. have sent soldiers to Ukraine? NONE! 2) What do you count into the number "56" Well there is Hungary... - What mighty military aid have they provided? Training of MEDICS 😅 Malta - Treatment of 2 (TWO!!!) wounded Ukrainian soldiers. Switzerland 1 (ONE) Mine clearance system Oh God,,, if my village went to war and had support of those 3 countries the enemy would tremble. So while you ADD anyone who gave the weakest possible aid to Ukrasine, you LIE, and didn´t mention who give aid to Russia... so Russia is not alone. 3) As Russia doesn´t publicly inform what they get, we know of: IRAN - supporting with drones and training NORTH-KOREA giving millions of shells CHINA sending military equipment, buggy cars in all silence. BELARUS - allowing Russia to use it´s territory, logistics support. INDIA - 14 folding it´s oil import after Feb 2022 (economical support). India also sold spare parts to Russian military planes. SOUTH-AFRICA sending shipment of unknown military equipment. Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan (parts of Russia´s Collective Security Treaty Organization). Their role in the conflict unknown. Myanmar sold weapons and spare parts to Russia. Saudi-Arabia, on paper a western ally (no aid to Ukraine) but supported pressing oil prices up in a situation where it was crucial for Russia, ignoring US wishes. So to claim that Ukraine fight with 56 allies, and IGNORING Russian allies, is a PURE LIE! But you knew that already. 4) Ukraine was liberated 1991 from Moscow communist oppression! After that Ukraine has seen how much better things are in the west, and decided to NEVER AGAIN be a puppet of a dictatorship... that is the reason they fight until death. 5) When Russia started the INVASION of a free independent country (2014) 2022, Ukraine was ON IT´S OWN. What weapons had they gotten from the west until Feb 2022? - Anti tank weapons - Rifles and ammunition - Some bulletproof vests Ukraine´s military was OUTDATED old Soviet era weapons, Russia had more modern version of everything, and all weapons in a 5-20 times larger amount. Russian estimates were to take Ukraine (Kiev) in a few days and insert a puppet. *** THEY WERE ON THEIR OWN even western media thought Russia could take Ukraine in weeks or at most months. Russia FAILED... it took weeks, and then Ukraine started to get weapons, as countries saw that they fought with everything they had. In a few weeks/months Ukraine had gained OLD equipment from Europe and the US. MONTHS into the war, Ukraine got real western equipment - artillery and later HIMARS... that changed the war. 6) Russia is in FULL WAR ECONOMY - companies produce equipment for the military. So Russia is in "120%". How much has the US put in to support Ukraine? ~3% of it´s yearly MILITARY BUDGET. So no, no one wants to be oppressed "liberated in Russian propaganda terms".
