Despite months of complaints from troops over shortages and fatigue, Kyiv has been slow to ramp up mobilization, leaving some areas of the front critically understaffed.

    Why does Putin want so many dead Russians? It’s disgusting. He should stop now to save lives.

      He spent 8 years trying to negotiate for peace in good faith with people (Merkel and Hollande) who later admitted that they had none. They only wanted war.

        He invaded in 2014. He wants nothing but war. If he didn’t, leaving Crimea would have been on the table. It never was. Don’t kid yourself. Putin loves dead Russians to feed to the meat grinder.

          America loves dead Ukrainians. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have given weapons to literal Nazis in the 20-teens.

          See how stupid that ‘logic’ is?

            The US did not give any money to Russia so your statement about Nazis makes no sense.

              The Ukraine is a fascist dictatorship with an ideology rooted in Banderite Nazism. You know this.

                Ukraine is a democracy so your entire premise is way off. Try again. Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.

                  The Ukraine hasn’t been a democracy since the Nazi overthrow. Democracies have elections.

                  Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.

                  You have no supporting argument for this or evidence.

              There were, and are, Washington Post and New York Times articles about this from before the latest unpleasantness made that an inconvenient truth to not acknowledge.

              Welcome to the real world where propaganda written by empires is literally “Who are you going to believe, Me or your lying eyes?”

                  To Ukrainian Neo-nazi orgs like Right Sector and the Azov Battlion.

                  Be pithy all you want. It doesn’t change the facts or the documented history.

          He liberated Crimea in 2014 after the Nazis took power. The Crimean people welcomed and wanted to be part of Russia.

            LOL

            Sure. Just like when the US flooded Tejas with Americans and then the US helped liberate Texas from Mexico. Liberation through imperialism is not real liberation. Don’t be so naive.

              And if that’s not enough, here’s another. These are American publications.

              Where did you get your information from mr not naive?

                Same went for “Texans.” When you displace the local population and move in your people, you tend to get pretty high approval ratings.

                  What population was displaced in Crimea leading up to the Russian invasion in 2014?
