Ukrainian troops have repelled one advance into Kiev. I don't know why they didn't cut them off and annihilate them but I guess in the middle of the night and with the chaos it's difficult, but that is the kind of thing they need to do to win this. They have shot down a second troop transport plane south of the city and captured about 28 paratroopers on board. President Zelenskyii has turned down an offer from the USA to evacuate him.
There is no justification for Russia to declare war against Ukraine. None. Nobody is threatening Russia. It’s total crap. This is absurd.
Russia isn’t a superpower anymore. They’re a total joke. The only thing keeping them even remotely relevant is nukes. Their military is garbage.
I think it’s even more important that they keep destroying tanks and planes because that’s extremely demoralizing.
Well historically speaking I’d say they aren’t the best fighters. Quite possibly the worst. They seem to lose like 10 guys to every opponent’s 1. They’ve lost millions in wars alone, that’s not to mention the millions more at the hands of their own dictators. Finland alone sent them running scared in WW2 with only a few good snipers. I still wouldn’t underestimate them against a country as small as Ukraine though right now. I just don’t want to see our country get involved if and when Ukraine begins to fall. We should’ve never helped ease all this mess along in the first place.
Man this dude you guys are arguing with is pretty off the hook? I guess the one thing we might be able to agree on on is we really don’t like communists. Russian or Chinese.
I believe "neo-facist kleptocrat with delusions of being the new czar" would be closer. Despite his one time service to the USSR I seriously doubt he was ever a true believer in communism. He is also a liar and bully - which explains why certain faux-american politicians see him as a soul mate.
Maybe I misunderstood or maybe Ukraine is exaggerating: Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Zelensky admin, claims that the Ukrainian military has killed more than 3,500 invading Russian soldiers and taken roughly 200 prisoners. Moscow has yet to acknowledge a single combat loss. I believe Ukraine is stating about 200 dead so far. I hope these figures are correct.
