I have a feeling this will be the future for Russia and it is one that they have asked for.

Elsewhere, Russia claimed Saturday it had regained control of the village of Urozhaine in Ukraine’s easternmost Luhansk region in an overnight counterattack.
No, Russia are not establishing control over more areas. Russia may have claimed it has regained control, but it isn't.
This is true.
True. But while they see that this is a pointless war, they will defend their homeland with their lives.
Unfortunately, Putin doesn't want to negotiate peace.

So, let me see:
The Kerch bridge is on fire again, hit by at least 2 explosions (UAVs, missiles??).
The Ukrainian Army has taken Urozhaine tonight.
Ukrainians advance 16-20 kilometers in 'tactically significant' move. (accord. to Russian news, too).
The Ru(b)ble's value is decreasing day by day.
Ukrainian forces in Kherson region have crossed the Dnipro River at several points.
Russian Telegram channels say the Ukrainian Army's capture of Urozhaynoye is "a matter of time."But, yes, all looking good!
Ukraine prevails!

It for the US to defund this war,the sooner the better for the sake of the US or this will be another moneypit
Yrral
Instead of condemning it ,maybe he should have the appropriate response,at least it will save American taxpayer money
Yrral
Defund this war

Only way too get rid of Putin,is too march straight down to red square and issue an eviction notice,the US is not threatened by Russian,if you not gonna do this ,it a lost cause

You're all talking about Urozhainoye here, as if you know what it is :))))) As if it's Kiev or Odessa :)))) Don't make people laugh:))) Urozhainoye is a little settlement, which has a very convenient location for shelling. On hills. For 12 days Russians defended this place. But today some TG channels reported that the Ukrainians have recaptured Urozhainoye. At the cost of a huge number of lives of their fighters. All those who wrote this are shocked by the number of Ukrainians killed. And yes, all the same, this event will not give Ukrainians any advantage. En plus the recapture is not still confirmed by correspondents on place.

Kuku,what happened to all mighty Russian army,that cannot do anything tactical right ,you will be at the mercy of the US ,with crippling sanction,if your ship are still lifting

My wishful thinking is that NATO will prevail and both Russia and China will be cut into smaller pieces, more manageable by the rules based world.

Putin at the put ,do have any choice,but too go nuclear or Russia will be sitting duck ,to be carve up and served to it host

Calm down, don't mess up the people, the bridge is not damaged
On the photo, where the bridge is visible in the smoke, there is only a smoke screen, which was undertaken by Russians after the drone raid. The bridge continues to work. The author of the photo has already apologized.
Kuku
Russians say on this score: wishful thinking is not harmful:)))))
Better pray for the opposite

Sure....and the Moskva is still sailing around the Black Sea....
Nothing but pure Kremlin fantasy - even the Russian people laugh at it...
Don't believe a word that comes out of Putin's Potemkin Village disinformation factory...

Ukraine want NATO to put a target on it back,while they still are one the corrupt country in Europe

Mark my words, we are living the early phases of world war 3 unless cool heads prevail.
Slowly but surly we are slipping closer and closer to an all out conflict that could ingulf Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa.
We the people must reject this War Mongers Mentalities and elect leaders that will lead us towards Peace and Prosperity, and sooner the better.

Why are you ordering what to do? Adequate people will figure out whether to believe them or not. You'd better tell them how things are going in the Kupyansk direction:) Even your media write that there is a complete catastrophe there, Ukrainian soldiers are fleeing. And Kupyansk is not Urozhainoye, it's a town! A town with Russian population.
Strangerland
Only if Russia decides they need to increase the number of countries they are invading.
They started this war, they can escalate it, and they can end it. It's all on Russia. They are the the ones in needs of cooler heads to prevail. The rest of the world is just responding accordingly to their atrocities.

According to Putin's humanitarian values bombing a poor defenseless bridge is "barbaric"! How stupid do they think people are? They don't, but they don't care because humans in positions of power lie shamelessly when there are no consequences and no personal accountability.

The world is stuck between the western version of capitalism and the China/Russian bloc’s state capitalism both sides provoking wars to maintain power over fossil fuels, pleasing warmongers everywhere.

I'm offering an opinion which I'm free to do here - unlike Russia where if your daughter draws "an anti-art picture", you are carted off to the gulag...

Adequate people might - rational, smart people see through the lies..
Why, is the Kremlin now saying the Moskva is sailing around there?
bass4funk
And the end for most of the world.
i wouldn’t entirely disagree with that hypothesis.

Russia continues to do the same, shelling civilian targets while claiming to be the victim.
Snuggles
Except China.
Kind of a big friend.
The extreme lefties fail to recognize the continued antagonizing of nuclear equipped enemies does not help the security of the US or its allies.
ClippetyClop
Do the extreme righties recognize that? Is that why they bend over and simp for Putin, Kim & Xi?
How's the new account working out?

Snuggles
No, they don't. But Russia has made no friends, believe me.
China was a greater friend before Putin's invasion, but the invasion has put it in a difficult position. China even attended the peace conference in Saudi Arabia, which would be unheard of before.

American troops are not fighting in Ukraine.

We won the first Cold War. We will win the second one.

Conservatives supporting Russia because they're upset with liberals is MAGA ridiculous. Go fascism and dictatorial governments over democracy is their cry. Traitors to their own country. This is a truth. Polarization on this issue by MAGA is completely irrelevant to what is happening to Ukraine, it's not about the two war foes, it's about MAGA narrative.
Admit it conservatives, you're not being patriots by rooting on Putin. It's not arguable, it's factual by critical thought, taking into account what is being said by the MAGA cult.
MAGA people don't care for America, only their cherry picked interpretation of their America and it's a narrative that follows much closer to a dictatorial government like Putin's, who's attack on Ukraine you support, over American democracy.
MAGA loves Putin over the US constitution. Quit using the American flag as if it is yours, start waving the Russian one. or the Nazi one. It's who you are.

NATO has to win, otherwise the magical credit card that allowed us to buy goods and raw materials from the developing world the last fifty years will be cancelled.
