    stalemate was just the media showing how stupid and out of touch with their jobs they are. investigate, fact find, present facts and tell the story so people can form their own opinion is real journalism.

      Their coverage has been damning. The idea 🇺🇦 now can’t win or it’ll take years is insane + reveals how much media expectations shift w/out reason : the “experts” and media went from “they’ll lose in three days” to “they’ll easily split the Russian army in summer 2023 even without half the tools we promised”
      And now back to “Russia is winning - they took 🇺🇦 Meryinka after only 2 years despite it being on the edge of Dontesk” (and was basically just a field since 100% of the tiny village’s structures were flattened completely - so no utility as a fortification or places to hide while advancing. - that Russia lost around 125 AVs (IFVs, APCs and MBTs) + 10k KIA.
      Meanwhile, they say nothing about how Ukraine has fully driven the remnants of the BS Fleet away and achieved the ability to sxport grain. Or how Russian has lost tens-of-thousands in a two-month period and around a thousand major systems (tanks, IFVs, APCs, TOS-1, MLRS, artillery systems, jets, helicopters, GBADs, etc., etc.)

      Donbass regions were invaded by forces of the Ukrainian regime shortly after the Feb 2014 coup (in April 2014). They termed it an "anti-terrorist" operation as unarmed local residents tried to stop tanks by building barricades and appealing to the military to go home and leave their communities in peace. Crimeans were lucky as Sevastopol had a treaty for 20,000 Russian naval force to be stationed there until 2032 in return for gas subsidies. These forces were able to prevent a Ukraine regime invasion.@@leannastoufer6333

    Every time I see Zelensky dutifully executing his job (or is it a passion?) regardless of the negligence of the seriousneess of the situation by the West I feel sorry for him. And I admire him for carrying on. I credit that in part to his experience of being an actor. But at the same time I feel he has tied his personal fate to that of his country. That is a picture I get and it might be superficial. As a good leader one has to perform like a good actor. And nobody really knows how it looks under the surface. But I think this picture is to a great extent real. He could have done things differently and more favorably for his personal benefit. And he didn't. So I believe in him and his real committment to his country. I hope his valor will be rewarded one day. He is the right man in the right place. Which, by repeating myself, I cannot say of some western leaders.
    Glory to Ukraine from Germany.

      Unfortunately Ukraine needs to wait for the US Congress to overcome the pro-Putin elements. The whole thing is ridiculous, imagine General Montgomery landing on D-Day and the having to wait and see if funds were available to continue the liberation of France. If Ukraine gets what it needs there is no reason this war can't be wrapped up with a timely Spring offensive as they now know all of Russia's tricks. And this one will be with MIA1s and F16s !

    In fact, a stalemate would favour Ukraine to a tee, Russia has inherited a war industry from the Soviets
    More and more Western war machine producers are starting or investing in the manufacture of war products within Ukraine
    That takes time, good for Ukraine when the war intensity is slowing down
    Russia knows, hence the suicidal attacks on Ukrainian positions, even if it is costing dearly

    The content starting around 24:30…Ukraine’s foreign minister citing firsts by the Trump administration oversimplifies cause and effect as his statement ignores the timing of events. By this logic one could argue the Trump administration did virtually nothing relative to the Biden administration, who have sent many billions of dollars worth of aid. The difference lays in the timing and intensity of events.
    US military aid to nations with which no treaty exists is typically slow…as in two years or more without significant ongoing combat. Yes, the Obama administration was arguably slow and inadequate in responding to the 2014 “uprising” in the Donbas and Luhansk along with the little green men in Crimea. That does not mean, with a different history, the Obama administration would have done less or nothing relative to the Trump administration.

      Despite Putin's success at taking control of the U.S. Congress which has held up new aid hopefully temporarily, F-16's and the associated striking options available from them are still going to be provided this year. They're going to change the battlefield quite a bit.
      As to Trump, thankfully he's going to be jail and not the White House again. His disdain towards Ukraine and support for Putin has been evident for a long time. His first impeachment should have made it clear to Ukrainians.

Among them were more than 8,500 from Europe, more than 1,700 from Asia, more than 2,700 from North and South America, and more than 220 from Africa. Of these, Russian forces have eliminated more than 5,900, more than 5,600 have fled, and more than 1,900 are still fighting," the report said.
    In addition, the report said that Ukraine receives aid from 54 countries and that more than $203 billion has been spent on its support.
    "More than 500 spacecraft of the United States and NATO members operate for the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces. Among them are over 70 military reconnaissance [spacecraft] and the remaining are commercial. More than 20,000 terminals of the Starlink satellite internet constellation operate for the control and communications organization," the digest said.
    According to the Defense Ministry, foreign countries provided the Ukrainian armed forces with more than 1,600 missiles and artillery munitions, more than 200 air defense missile systems, more than 5,220 armored vehicles, and more than 23,000 drones.
