Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Was just watching a news report there where they were interviewing a local builder guy who had joined up with the civilian resistance and he was saying that he wanted to defend his country and his people and if he died so be it, he’d try take down 10 of them. God bless that man, he must have a sore back from carrying around balls that big.

They were elected to bring them closer to Europe something the entire country wanted after the euro football finals and seeing the success and joys of tourism coming in. The economic joy and the infrastructure building going on in their nearest neighbour's. Despite promises to sign the deal the elected leader turned his back on it under pressure from putin. He then slinked off to Russia with a load of money.

You sir talk some remarkable absolute nonsense about a subject you clearly have a scant grasp of. Have you ever even been in these regions. Do you know any Ukrainians. Absolute spoofer. I've come to the conclusion now that you only type this stuff for a response as it's a dopamine hit. It's actually not meant to be taken as something of worth with its various lies and untruths.

Zelensky has been something else, alright. I do hope he has a solid plan for getting out of Kiev, though, if or when getting out becomes a definite necessity. As inspiring as his courage to stay is, his getting arrested or killed would be a terrible blow to Ukrainian morale.

Yes but you see I don't see it as pathetic, in the sense that it's driven more by pragmatism than laziness. Look at the state of Ukraine now. Hospitals, airports, schools all bombed. If given the choice, I would rather live in a Russian state than a war torn state. If they are my only two options. Like I said before, at least in a Russian state the schools, hospitals and airports work. Of course it only works in a situation where Russia will definitely win by the way. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Ukraine stands a chance.

There's nothing pathetic about preferring a Russian state over a war torn state when they are the only two options.

The only (logical/clear headed) argument I see for fighting Russia really is that you have a lot more focus from the likes of Biden and the EU. There is no chance of them intervening if there is no one putting up a fight.

Ukrainians have retaken a power plant in Kyiv after a fierce battle.

Dare I say this is turning in to a bit of embarrassment for Russia militarily speaking? I'm sure they would have hoped to take the capital quickly.

Not sure if this has been posted but...we should be chucking every member of staff out of the country and levelling the place/repurposing it to host Ukranian refugees...absolute shower!

Samurais waiting for the russians!

I wonder were there more anti war protests in Russia yesterday?

The people protesting are really brave hopefully it seriously escalates.

If these numbers are any way accurate...they are massively. If true these will surely help turn more Russians against Putin?

The longer Ukraine resists the more humiliating it is for Putin. The more humiliated Putin is the more desperate he will get. My worry is he turns to chemical warfare or worse.

If NATO can continue the flow of arms to Ukraine and the West can turn off the cash flow for Russia the better the chance Ukraine has of prevailing.

Even if Putin does overthrow the government the Ukraine people won’t stand for a puppet regime. He might win in the short term but hopefully he loses in the long run.

Kudos to Kazakhstan for saying no to Putin. The political isolation and economic sanctions hopefully help the Russian people turn on Putin. The general feeling is he has bitten off more than he can chew. Let’s hope so. He is modern version of Hitler.

Apparently at least two Russian paratrooper planes were destroyed by Ukrainian forces last night. They were being dropped in stupid positions with no air or land cover.
