Not to Putin, apparently.

I don’t know about ‘love affair’ but if you mean support for a leader of an illegally invaded country, you need to back this up.
Commentary from rightwing North American podcasts wouldn’t really cut it here.

Falseflagsteve,
yup, PUTAin and his marauders killing more innocent Ukrainian civilians.
They're just so good at this.
Glad to see that at least some Russians know what has to be done.
End this war by ending PUTAin's dictatorship!
Russia will fall apart - sooner than later!
And .......
Ukraine prevails!
Slava Ukraini!
Haaa Nemui
Yeah, not pro-Kyiv, just anti-Putin.

Military targets.

Ukraine fired British Storm Shadow missiles at the Russian-occupied port of Berdyansk, used by the Kremlin to export stolen grain.

Zelenskyy recently visited Germany, France, and Italy receiving further support and military aid from them. The EU/NATO remains strong with Zelenskyy.
Jimizo
Yes.
It seems to be a common theme among rightwing North American podcast watchers that support for Ukraine is on the slide, but with nothing tangible to back it up.
Very strange. It’s like they are all singing from the same hymn sheet.

Bunk. There is no part of that rubbish that is even remotely true.
Its just the wishful thinking of Puttie's clueless rubes.
fallaffel
Ukraine doesn't even have enough (western or homemade) ammo to target nonmilitary infrastructure if they wanted to.

That still going on? Someday the FSB archives will be released and we will know for sure.

That Ukraine can reliably down Russia's Iskander calls into question vlads nuclear saber rattling as this is the primary delivery system for tactical nuclear weapons in the Russian arsenal.

Zelenskyy attended a meeting in Moldova, 20 km from the Russian border. European Leaders Summit. Meanwhile, Putin is holed up in his Moscow basement.

You only got two more seasons to keep pushing for cutting and running. I know you can make it through!

Interesting.
Where are you from mate? I’m always happy to learn from people who know the language and history well.

@Eastman
Disappointing.
Doesn’t really answer my question, does it? I could have got that from our rightwing North American podcast watchers.
I think I’ll stick with ‘Kyiv’ if it’s all the same, mate.
TaiwanIsNotChina
So surrender to Putin's demands to rollback NATO. What made Putin think he could afford that?
TaiwanIsNotChina
You're right, it will end it because NATO will strafe Crimea like you've never seen.

Eastman - Why should the US treat Russia as an equal power, when Russia does not treat others as equals?
UChosePoorly
I don't care what Russia drags up as a reason. There is no excuse to invade another nation unless that nation invaded you first. Of course Ukraine is going to fight back and of course we are going to continue to support them.
UChosePoorly
I believe the reason is that the kleptocracy currently in control of Russia thought it could increase its wealth and power easily by chewing off another chunk of Ukraine since the world appeared to allow them to do so in 2014. Russia miscalculated and refuses to back down and go home, so here we are.
ClippetyClop
Such as what? The Armata T-14? A tank so stealthy that nobody has ever seen one on the battlefield.
Maybe they have some new advanced shovels.
UChosePoorly
Russia thought there was a military solution when they invaded. What would you tell Russia, Eastman?
UChosePoorly
I'm not sure I am understanding you Eastman. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia obviously doesn't see Ukraine as an equal member of the community of nations, do they?

Eastman
The pretext is NATO expansion, but that is a lie. The reason is imperialism. Putin wants Ukraine to be part of Russia. In fact, he believes it isn't a separate country.
That's exactly what happened.
La vie douce
President Zelenskyi said just a few days ago Ukraine doesnt attack inside Russia, only defends and fights on its territory. So this must be fake news and Putin false flags. That old KGB fox, yes thats it.
Eastman
well.
I suggest you to study a bit about country you are going to discuss,talk about or...just be online discussion supporter...
in short.
long time known as Okraina/literally land at the edge-border/Ukraina was "born" in soviet times and it was a part of Soviet Union.Land of Novorossiya,central Ukraine and Galicia were combined as Ukraine soviet socialistic republic.Most common language was russian,than they have made ukrainian language as mix of some dialects spoken.After WW2 Ukraine get Crimea,Zakarpattye/taken from Czechoslovakia and Lvov /taken from Poland/regions.After end of Soviet Union there were referendums in Zakarpattye/they wanted be part of Cezchoslovakia again/ and Crimea/wanted autonomy from UA/both refused by Kiev as unconstitutional ones,.After maidan in 2014 Crimea after referendum became part of Russia.eastern parts wanted own autonomy but Kiev have refused again so they start to fight for own independence/Lugansk and Donetsk regions/.Kiev have decided that ukrainian language is one and official language.other languages/russian,hungarian,polish,belarussian,romanian/are opressed and culture of these minorities as well.
rest we all know.sad reality of today.

Yeah, you can kind of understand how a few septics are not so clever with geopolitics, but when it's Brits, they just be embarrassed with themselves.

Russia thought there was a military solution when they invaded. What would you tell Russia, Eastman?
Well.
Ok put it this way.This conflict could be avoided,if west wanted to hear Russia and discussed with them as two equal partners.This did not happen.Btw did you ever heard about Minsk agreements?
google it.
Eastman
UChosePoorly
narrative as expected.
I don't care what Russia drags up as a reason.
So yes here we are.conflict will continue.
Eastman
UChosePoorly
Let me put it this way.
USA treat others as vassals so why should treat Russia as equal partner?I guess better and more accurate question.
La vie douce
" maybe they have some new advanced shovels."
I don't really understand why some JT posters keep going on with such nonsense as ' Russians only have shovels, they were supposed to run out of missiles in spring last year, their navy is on the bottom of the sea, air force is useless , and so on. If that is the case , how come all the advanced NATO weapons Ukraine has been getting, hasn't driven Russians back yet?
Sure, many of their weapons are not as good as some of the NATO arsenal, but they are still a formidable enemy. Writing nonsense comments really diminishes this board debate, non?

do what you like,all up to you.
its hard to please everyone in this world so if I made you dissapointed I am deeply sorry.
historical facts are facts,not just some opinions of some propaganda makers at this or that side.
and yes I am not from North America/as you wanted to know where I come from/.so ...
Eastman
UChosePoorly
sure you wont understand.as there was some reason or pretext for that action.
but yes you believe that it happen for no reason,just one day VV Putin woke up and say lets do it.
amazing.
Eastman
Jimizo
Kiev.
Okraina/original historical name/.now Ukroruina/reality/.
Eastman
is this that long time advertised spring offensive?
Volo dy myr.its June.
I know plans went to nowhere as same as command center in Kiev destroyed by some russian missiles some days ago so begging tour "give me money guns everything" in EU continues...
why nobody can say to guys from Kiev its time to stop this conflict and start to seriously negotiate about peace?
Peace will prevail at the end since this conflict have no military solution.

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to target civilian areas of Donetsk with West-supplied missiles.
falseflagsteve
Can’t these sadists stop this and save lives. Every life is precious supposedly.
Needless deaths on a daily basis, it’s very upsetting
falseflagsteve
The West’s love affair with Zelensky and his cause is coming to an end. The Spring Offensive has been shown to be false, perhaps over estimating his militaries capabilities or maybe he is deluded and cannot cope, only time will tell
