Remember when Russia claimed it would torture and kill Nazis in Mariupol? Yeah, not so much.

The POWs who were returned from Turkiye look a whole lot healthier than the ones returned from Russia, who tend to look emaciated and gaunt. Welcome home.

What happened to that 3-day-limited operation?
500 days - Ukraine resists, Ukraine prevails!
Good to see that 5 more POWs returned to their homeland.
I strongly assume yet another achievemnet by President Zelenskyy after his talks with Erdogan.
And I strongly assume there will be more positive news for Ukraine in the days, weeks, and months to come.
Ukraine prevails!

Considering there is no peace with fascism running amok, I'm glad you are on the Ukraine side now.

With the retaking of Snake Island, the Russian plan to launch an amphibious invasion of Odessa, cut off Ukrainians access to the Black Sea, and to link up with Russian soldiers in Moldova died.
Sorry Mini-me. No domination of the Black Sea, in fact your “fleet” is now hiding in the Azov Sea to stay out of missile range lest it end up like the Moscova.
No, land locking Ukraine to make the a vassal state in order to export.
No flanking NATO or “liberation” of Moldavian territory.

Peace will prevail when Ukraine prevails.
And unlike The murdering midget of Moscow’s 3-day “special military operation”, there is a military solution. Ukraine WILL win this war if it is properly supplied and equipped.

What a contrast....
Zelenskyy leads his troops from the front lines at a island his forces re-took from the Russian invaders...
While Putin faces a revolt and hides in various bunkers afraid his private warlord will return to lead his troops in another march on Moscow...

Says the one who’s been flapping it’s guns about a July 4th UA collapse for months.
July 9th today and it’s Zelenski talking to the troops on Snake Island. The Midget from Moscow is the one in hiding.

So this is presented as what we were told happened at the time?
such a casual media lie. The “dead” defenders were even given medals posthumously.

David vs. Goliath
It's not over yet, so we must help David as much as possible to defeat this cruel giant.
Long live Ukraine!

Propaganda is a tool that has been used by every side in every war. It's naive to think that Ukraine wouldn't use it as well as Russia, and it's pointless to get angry about it.
This entire war is based on Russian propaganda; Putin has used everything from Nazis to NATO to justify the attempted destruction of an entire nation. Perhaps your ire would be better directed in that direction.
