That bridge needs to make sure its affairs are in order.

Russia says ....

This alone says it all!

Fact is that Ukraine can attack Russia all over the place, even on their (Russia's ) own turf.

Ukraine making progress in all areas.

And with more military hardware to come, guess what .....

Ukraine prevails!

That bridge is a death trap and needs to be out of commission.

 Moscow-annexed Crimean Peninsula

It's long passed time for Russians and all those supporting the Moscow regime to head back to Russia, and leave Crimea for Ukrainians. There is a lot of room in actual Russian territory for those who want Putin and the Kremlin to control their lives.

Not long now before the Russians send a major devastating airstrike at Ukraine

Will this be any different than the strikes they've been doing for the past 11 years? Maybe more devastatinger?

Stop the stupid war and make a peace deal

Russia already rejected the deal on the table.

17 ( +20 / -3 )

The Russians now have their own NFT. A Non-moving Fixed Target.

But given how adept their air defenses over Moscow have been, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.

Stop the stupid war and make a peace deal

Yes, either Putin ends the war, or he loses his head for real. Meanwhile, the bridge is a legitimate target.

Zorg,

serious question:

since you are calling for a peace deal in this "stupid war", what would your "deal" look like?

Freeze everything at the "status quo"?

Let PUTAin have Crimea and all other occupied areas?

Forget those who have been abducted and deported?

Forget those who have been tortured, murdered, raped?

Forget all the destruction brought upon Ukraine?

Forget and forgive everything?

If so, then you must be out of your mind or a strong genocide / PUTAin supporter!

Ukraine prevails!

3 civilians killed last October and 2 parents killed in July.

You point out when civilians die due to Ukraine targeting a military target.

However, you are silent when civilians die due to Russia targeting civilians.

Hypocritical much?

Not sure if you noticed, Russia has been doing this for over a year...

The bridge that is waiting to die.

Either Ukraine kills it or the Soviets do on their way out.

Ukrainians aren't innocent and neither are the Russians

When I saw those mass graves in Bucha I too thought, "Those people who were tied up, executed and buried are just as bad as the people who tied them up, executed and buried them."

They should have had 'dialogue' with the people who did that to them.

And don't try and peg me as a Russia supporter as that's dumb

If you excuse the invasion then you support it.

Zorg,

"Can't you see why he hasn't officially formally declared war yet ?" (PUTAin)

easy answer:

because he is a whimp hiding in his bunker behind the long desk, who doesn't even have the resources to do so!

Ukraine prevails!

Last December, Putin called it a war in Ukraine.

“Our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict, but, on the contrary, to end this war,” Putin told reporters in Moscow, after attending a State Council meeting on youth policy. “We have been and will continue to strive for this.”

Zorg,

with all due respect, but .....

"How to provide a solution to a ridiculous conflict started by two nations ......"

First of all it's not just a conflict!

Second, only one country started this - Russia!

Third, I'm missing a precise answer.

Because their are only two ways:

PUTAin gets it all and even more after that since he won't stop!

President Zelenskyy's peace plan (and maybe a little more than that)!

Oh, by the way, I do know how negotiations work.

Ukraine prevails!

16 ( +17 / -1 )

What started this is Russia deciding to make Ukraine’s domestic issues their own. This is a good warning for the future for any country that might be thinking about dealing with Russia in any magnitude.

I don't agree with the whole conflict

And yet you go on to make comments like:

Ukrainians aren't innocent and neither are the Russians

What are they "guilty" of then? And why does it matter? Remember, you're against "whole conflict."

No more innocent civilians need to perish do to the incompetent abilities of governments to engage in dialogue

Except Russia has rejected the Ukrainian peace proposal. Now what? To be very clear, I don't want any more people killed either.

Duh !

Thanks 2020 your a real beacon of light

Glad to be a help.

And no Russia hasn't officially formally declared war on Ukraine yet

Sure it has.

When or if Putin does then you'll know it

Won't be any different except for his perception at home.

And no Russia hasn't officially formally declared war on Ukraine yet

When or if Putin does then you'll know it

Because it will be announced in the news? I’m pretty sure nothing else will change.

Russia, with very little effort, is neutralizing the phony and mediocre "counteroffensive" of the kyiv regime...

TokyoLiving,

**"They no longer have an army, they can only launch drones.. Ukraine is toast."** (LAUGH)

you must have again information that is not available to anyone else.

I heard Ukrainian Forces are moving forward, advancing in Donetsk and Zaporizhia oblasts as well as other areas. Oh, and maybe you r channels didn't tell you yet, even Crimea came under attack!

Ukraine prevails!

That’s unfortunate. Good luck on the next attempt Ukraine - you’ve managed twice, you can do it again.

Purine 72-hour war. How’s that working out?

12 ( +13 / -1 )

Ukrainians don't want to die, but Zelensky is under extreme pressure from his NATO backers to produce headlines and it doesn't matter to them that it cost 1000 lives just to capture a 6 street village.

NATO will force Ukraine to fight to the last man

Interesting conspiracy you’ve got a theory on; is it a coincidence that it’s the same agenda the Russia propaganda brigade is pushing, or just coincidence?

If you want Ukraine to be denied half its coastline and are fine with power plants and ports being bombed until they do so, then I say you are a PUTain supporter.

Putin hasn't declared war officially but try telling the Ukrainians they are not at war.

And yet you go on to make comments like:

Ukrainians aren't innocent and neither are the Russians

It's true MAN Russia and Ukraine are both corrupt

Did Ukraine invade Russia or did Russia invade Ukraine?

Russia invade Ukraine. Russia is the imperialist here. So in that sense Ukraine is innocent and Russia is guilty.

Zelenskyy is a moron

How come Zelenskyy is the moron and not PUTain? Seems like you are okay with Ukraine losing half its coastline.
