Russia - threadbanned users in OP

There must be more people over here watching those shows than Russians themselves at this stage!

Russian propaganda is not designed to "uncover the real truth" or convince someone that what Putin is doing is good. It has that effect on some stupid people, but most Russians do not believe the propaganda. But the Russian propaganda works very well in confusing and disuniting people. An average Russian does not believe anything -- they think that the Western propaganda is as bad as the Russian one; the war is bad, but there is nothing can be done; "I am against the war, but the majority wants it, I cannot be against it", it's better not to rock the boat -- that Putin is mad and will start throwing nucs about, etc.

There will be no one happier than the clique here when a peace deal is hammered out, which Zelensky is happy with.

Still waiting on your "highly likely" Russian attack on British infrastructure. Your record for calling the beginning of things is questionable.

"Authorities in Transnistria asking Moscow to help with natural gas supply"

How does that work?

I would have thought that NATO membership is a must for Ukraine, or at least the freedom to join if accepted. Russia has not only thrown away any right to object to it, it has demonstrated clearly how necessary NATO membership is if there's to be any meaningful guarantee of Ukrainian sovereignty.

At the very least sanctions should remain until Russia clears out and returns the stolen children.

Still waiting for he’s “Highly likely attack on the UK” prediction which must be over 2wks at this stage.

The same poster constantly comes up with crazy outlandish claims without any foundation and is best ignored.

I have a few suggestions regarding what the Russians can do with their "face" at this point.

All a weasel-worded agreement would achieve is a breathing space for Putin to try unfcuk his army, and possibly his nukes, to continue the salami-slicing later, one it was established that stuffing a territory with your own citizens then invading that territory citing faux-concern for their well-being, was now an acceptable means of territorial expansion.

Unfortunately with the US House and Senate about to be stuffed with politicians on Putin's payroll, Ukraine may well have to swallow some bitter medicine.

Why is it bollix .

Scratch that just seen your reply to the other poster.

We know the Russians are losing hundreds of men per week, possibly 1200 per month,and yet they aren't gaining anything,we were told possibly by yourself (apologies if I'm wrong) of how the Ukrainans were in retreat a few weeks ago,and yet they still hold the likes of bakhmut and other towns the Russians keep chucking poorly trained and equipped men at highly trained and motivated Ukrainians .

It makes zero sense in this day and age
