      The article says it’s from Agence France-Presse but I can’t find the original article.

      Can someone verify that this article is really from them because it feels like we’re getting a lot of Russian propaganda.

      I feel like Russia are pushing hard because they suspect when Trump comes into office he is going to attempt to negotiate by freezing the conflict along the current front lines. Therefore the more territory Russia can take right now the more they can keep if the Trump plan works.

      That being said, Ukraine are also becoming sadly short on manpower and have diverted resources to Kursk. I think the idea here is that by holding on to it they can offer it up as a trade in any future negotiations however this also makes it easier for Russia to make gains elsewhere. Lets not forget that Russia are also suffering massive casualties in this push. Its also a “fuck you” to the west, we are probably right now giving the most support we have ever given to Ukraine yet they’re loosing ground.

      As an observer these next few months are going to be morbidly fascinating

      A Ceasefire won’t change anything, just give him time to rebuild his army. Putin himself mentioned that they won’t stop until they have full control of the four regions (and Ukraine Demilitarizes, “Denazifies”, and stops EU association). This includes capturing the strongholds of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Zaporizhzhia and retaking Kherson and whatever else will be fortified on the way those.

    4. It’s supposed to give the impression that resisting Russia is futile. Russia can’t sustain this offensive just like Ukraine can’t sustain the pressure

    5. Serious question – what’s Russia’s endgame here? Say that within the next few weeks they somehow take all of Ukraine and Ukraine is forced to surrender… what then? Does Putin think the rest of the world will throw their hands in the air and go, “Eh, well, we tried. Back to business as usual!” NATO is on high alert. NATO countries, among others, are not going to suddenly play nice with Russia economically or politically after this. As much as I hate to be cynical, I have no doubt that part of the value in aiding Ukraine, especially for Eastern European countries, is to keep the fighting there and wear down the Russians. If Ukraine fully loses, these nations are not going to embrace Putin. They’re more likely to prepare for war, and now they’ve seen what Russia is capable of, for better or worse.

      For the life of me, I cannot see how Putin’s Russia survives this debacle long term, except with continued aggression. The only way I could predict them supporting their own basic and economic needs is by trying to militarily take them after being ostracized from much of the world.

      What about Russian advancing is propaganda? Don’t you follow events, being in a sub like this. The lost battle of Bakhmut was the point of no return for Ukraine, and that was in May 2023 already. The „summer offensive“ of 23 spent most of its senior and professional forces, the failed Kursk gambit accelerated the crumbling of defenses in Donbas.

      Most Ppl don’t have the first clue about casualty and personell situation. What can’t be musn‘t be.

      The fact that Putin is using stronger missiles shows his desperation. If our Russian simping new Congress and President don’t roll over for Putin, he’s finished in 12 months.

      Sure, because they are going to grab as much territory as they can before Trump demands a Ukrainian ceasefire! They have thousands of North Korean troops helping them, but not a singe NATO or US troop helping Ukraine!! Despicable.

      War was lost on November 7. But don’t worry. It’s Russia. There will be another one quite soon.

      The west decides if Ukraine wins the war or not. Russia cant match the wests economic output

    11. If Russia really wants Ukraine, why would he be open to negotiating a peace treaty now? He basically won the war.

      Unfortunately, our current Administration and the warmongers in DC have been lying to the American public. Ukraine was never, nor will ever be, in a position to defeat Russia.

      All the warmongers are doing is getting us closer and closer to World War III.

      “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” -Churchill

      I’m guessing the feel-good news stories of Ukraine winning were the bodyguard of lies.

      Someone should be helping Ukraine have nukes. That would change the conversation.

    15. This is such a bullshit tankie article. They’re advancing 1000 ft a day? Lol, no 5hey’re not. They can’t even push them out of kursk AND they’re losing 1000+ men a day at a 10x ratio or even more in some areas.
