Slava Ukraini! Inna Sovsun proves that in Ukraine, this existential conflict has driven the best to the top.
In politics, the cream and the scum both rise to the top. Ms. Sovun, you are the hope of your nation and therefore, the hope of all who are willing to defend their sovereign self-determination!
God Bless and save you all; you and everyone you love

Ms Sovsun’s territorial wishes cannot be militarily achieved by Ukraine. I recommend negotiation.

I doubt they’ll ever get Crimea back, but it will be interesting to see how much ground they can recover during the much discussed upcoming offensive, which could be their last chance to make significant territorial gains before the supply of western weapons starts to slow down

What can and cannot be achieved in this war has been constantly overturned. If you suggested negotiations in March of last year, you gave horrendously bad advice.

Maybe you should not be giving advice, perhaps?

The worst case scenario I can see for Ukraine is only being able to isolate Crimea by fire. Then would come negotiations.

If Putin can prevent the pro-Moscow part of the population from fleeing, he might stand a chance. It means draconian, NKVD type punishments, with people shot against the wall.

But if he can keep them there, and most don’t die of thirst or starvation, he might be able to settle for a demilitarized Crimea under nominal Russian control.

All depends on whether the security services don’t collapse, as they did in 1991.

Only time will tell if Putin can finally stop Russia’s rot.

While you Putin Vestehrers are safe back here in the West, consider the Russian people, and how this is going to utterly destroy their lives.

Putin is past delusional and will soon be overthrown. Once that happens Russians will turn on everyone connected to this war.

Just as they did in 1917, you’ll see mass executions of senior officers. You’ll see trolls burned alive on Red Square, for fooling the people.

Russia has always needed one-man rule, because no Russian can trust any other. They know that what they would do to someone else is what everyone else would do to them.

It’s also now far too late. The border is closed for many, and the air fleet is slowly collapsing. All we can do is prepare for the refugees.

This is going to be the greatest catastrophe of the 21st C.

I am sure the brave fighters in the Donnas trenches will be proud to know that back in the capital Ms Sovsun is devoting herself to introducing gay marriage.

Most below ignore the deep cultural differences between Ukraine and Russia.

Throughout its history, every aspect of Russian society has been dysfunctional. That was the commentary of all Westerners who visited it.

And, as the pinnacle of the Russian state, its Army was always its most incompetent branch. That has been proved again and again. Western armies, even in debacles, always take the enemy capital. Russia rarely does that, at least without allies.

Now, time and again Ukraine runs rings around Putin.

Looks like they may well do it again.

And thank the Lord you’re not Russian. It’s going to get a whole lot worse for all of them.

Certainly sounds like the grand plan is to continue with total slaughter until the only Ukrainians left are President Zelenskyy Mrs Zelenskyy and their tortoise Alan.

This pretty much illustrates the utter futility of Ukrainian’s situation.

Kudos to Freddie for his decorum with this “head girl” (as Eugyppius might dubb’er) letting us see behind this hopeless curtain. This sticky bur is stayin’under our saddle until the end. It’s stolen our wealth, security and future … but I ain’t accepting it.

So you keep saying, the map hasn’t changed in months however despite Putin mobilising 300k men. They lost over 20k men to take a strategically useless Bahkmut, and are resorting to using tanks that are 70 years old. If this is winning I’d hate to see what a defeat looks like

Ukrainian men are dying at a ratio of 7 to 1, maybe more.
It isn’t about territory, the Ukrainian army is trapped and being annihilated by artillery.
Russia has plenty of ammo and the killing fields will continue to wipe out the Ukrainian army.
The only way to stop this is negotiation.

Lindsey actually bribed Yanukovich to join the EU in 2013.

Also paid Yanukovich to kill the 100 anti-Putin resisters in 2014. Hunter was the bagman.

This is a conspiracy deeper than the Iraq war!
