If this is true, this is significant. Its an admission that they cannot complete their objectives of "de-nazifying" Ukraine & unable to completely occupy Ukraine. This war must have cost Russia billions.

I imagine F16s are a long way from being operational. Everything I've read suggested at least 12 months training time. Don't think we'll see those until Spring. Are they a game changer?

Looks like Prigozhin is dead

This is obviously bad news for Putin. But, doesn't Wagner rely on the Russian MoD for arms?

I wonder how many Russians have died fighting this war already, saw a BBC article that says atleast 25k, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was more like 10x this amount. Haven't they lost 20k in the fight for Bakhmut?

What did this say?

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it. The guy is clearly a Putin sympathiser

Does this number include forced relocations or just the voluntary ones?

Remarkable, quite a symbolic statement. When you consider that the closest Putin has got to the war is probably Minsk, he must be absolutely seething at this. Very embarrassing for him.

Excellent thread, thanks for posting

You should probably read this if that's what you believe:

Save your breath, the guy is clearly a Putin sympathiser. He can't see the wood from the trees. He suggested that Ukraine was shelling Ukraine, not sure why Ukraine would want to destroy its own country. Its an oxymoron. Russia started this war in 2014, after the Maidain revolution and because...

There was no "breakaway militia" it was Russian troops, disguised as locals, supported by Russian troops.

This is a bizarre comment. I suppose what you meant to say is your friends left Donestk because Russia bombed it and sent in troops illegally to the area to cause unrest and ultimately annex it.

This was my first thought too. Act if desperation, perhaps?

Astonishing if true. How about you withdraw from all Ukraine territory, including Crimea, and surrender all nuclear weapons in your arsenal.
