The net territory loss has turned out to b far less consequential than nafo trolls made it out to be, and is being rolled back already. The reality of the situation is that Ukraine lacks troops to actually hold the territory they manage to take. Russian army is at 1.5 million last I checked. Do provide your sources for it getting smaller. We do know that Europe is now forcing refugees to return to Ukraine though, so they can be gang pressed into fighting because of Ukraine’s unsustainable losses and ineffectiveness of busificaiton. The economy being on a brink is a pretty bold statement, let’s just wait a few months and see how that turns out to be completely false. Shouldn’t you be on reddit right now?
If Ukraine lacked the troops like you claim surely the Russian army would just be steamrolling Ukraine right now. Instead it is Ukraine who has made more gains in 2026, are the Ukrainian soldiers that much stronger, better equipped or better trained than their more numerous Russian counterparts? They certainly have more teeth than the Russian soldiers anyway.
The war has been at a stalemate with stable front lines for so long now that Europe considers it safe for Ukrainian refugees to return home now.
Meanwhile in Russia the public are starting to make Putin so worried that he has banned all encrypted messaging services. You now need to message on the FSBs Russia Max app. The Russian spin on this is hilarious too, we have gotten rid of the Russiaphobic regular internet for out superior Russian only internal internet! Great success Ivan!
He certainly doesn’t seem to think the war is in a stalemate, but what does he know right?
Meanwhile, seems like the EU is just as worried given that EU has banned all Russian media, while western media is not banned in Russia, and now EU keeps trying to ban encryption with chatcontrol. Why is that, let’s apply your own logic here.
He certainly doesn’t seem to think the war is in a stalemate, but what does he know right?
You can’t deny the reality on the ground right now, neither side can do much due to drones, Ukraine has had the edge the last few months. Russia is tightening its grip on the communication infrastructure of the country because they know what’s coming as the domestic situation in Russia deteriorates.
The reality on the ground is that Ukraine is running out of manpower as Budanov openly admits. That means Russia is winning through attrition. Why is the EU tightening its grip on communication, why does the EU ban Russian media when Russia doesn’t ban western media? What is the EU afraid of?
Sounds like the EU is tightening its grip on the communication infrastructure of the country because they know what’s coming as the domestic situation in EU members deteriorates. Which certainly is supported by the fact that all the governments in major European are polling under 20% while nationalist parties are rapidly growing in popularity. The AfD becoming the biggest party in Germany certainly doesn’t sound like all is well to me.
Anybody who follows the conflict knows that Russian military bloggers aren’t exactly a reliable source for much of anything. But hey, whatever helps you cope I suppose. Meanwhile, last I checked western backed terrorists aren’t doing so hot in Mali. Might need to update your propaganda points. Also, looks like you chuds lost Bulgaria.
Yes its all western backed anything that makes Russia look bad is always western back.
The west is both weak and ineffective and going to lose its “proxy war” in Ukraine but also is the one funding the insurgents that take Russian forces down.
Is that right? So which is it? Are they weak and going to fail or are they the ones backing all the groups who don’t agree with Russian occupation and drives them out?
The enemy is both weak and strong at the same time!
Also, might want to brush up on that whole Mali situation. Russia isn’t doing too great there.
I mean the whole context of this discussion is a mainstream western publication explaining how Russian army is far ahead of the west. But hey, you obviously know better being the armchair general that you are. Meanwhile, do tell what the Mali situation is like, this ought to be good. The fact that you’re cheering for the terrorists here does say everything we need to know about you as a person.
Never said I was cheering for them, said that you might want to look I to the situation again since you suggested Russia had it all under control. Would you like to try again to equate my character with me saying one of your points was mistaken? Again, doesn’t mean I support one side or the other I know critical thinking is hard.
Also no, this comment was in context of you saying “the area taken isn’t as bad as the NATO trolls make it out to be” and then going on to say that “western backed” insurgents in Mali aren’t doing great and Russia is championing the situation (which is not true).
Which is it though really. Is the west weak and going to collapse or are they causing instability all the time and need to be taken out?
Also gotta love the mental gymnastics
“Actually Russia is going great in Mali!!!”
“You should look into that again the situation has changed”
“I can’t believe you support and are cheering for the terrorists!!!”
Shit like that is why people think your proganda is insane. Anything that contradicts a compelte victory is cheering for the terrorists. That’s like USA playbook shit like how they do with Israel.
You saying that is proving a a point that you are incapable of reading and digesting information properly. Where did I say I supported them? Where did I cheer? I simply said your propaganda piece is outdated and you should check the situation again. The fact that you add shit into that makes me even more aware that you are not very literate.
I did look at the situation, and it is very much under control. But more importantly, the situation is that western backed terrorists are trying to overthrow the government in Mali. It’s very interesting that you would frame this as if Russia controlled Mali. You make it very obvious which side you support, you couldn’t be more transparent about it.
Nobody is even trying to hide the fact that the west is backing these terrorists.
To sum up, you made up a story about Mali that has no basis in reality, and frame Mali as being some sort of a Russian colony to deflect from the fact that all of NATO failed to defeat Russia in Ukraine.
You’re really bad at trolling kiddo. It’s frankly pathetic how bad you’re at this given how dedicated you are to it.
They had a coup in 2020 and got rid of France. They have not been western involved or backed since. They hired Russia to secure it and it isn’t going well.
Here’s Putin himself saying he wants a return to peace after the situation deteriorated over the weekend. Straight from the horses mouth bud
And no what bothers me is I’m quick to call out my government being a piece of shit. The people who infest .ml are always apologetic and dismissive and downplaying about it. That’s the difference.
Also all of NATO? Remind me again how many NATO troops are in Ukraine? Can you count them? Let’s see it. Sources?
Yeah. Didn’t think so.
And wait didn’t we just talk about territory getting captured?* Oh wait that’s right now we’re back to the “west is weak” stance and “all that territory isn’t as important as they make it seem”
If you look in the mirror and repeat it more to yourself maybe you will actually start to believe it too!
*even though again this isn’t western forces this is Ukrainian forces that are being armed with western weapons. Again, I know critical thinking is hard but if you just tried it you might actually like it.
Also to be clear I haven’t actually found any compelling evidence that Mali separatists are western backed but even if that were true, that’s like Russia supplying Syria with weapons or Iran with intelligence. And you know what, that’s fine.
I think if you’re invading another country you have no business at all fucking being in, that people should try and stop you. And USA is super bad about it we just invaded Venezuela and bombed a bunch of little girls in school and double tapped even. Super fucked up shit.
So of Russia wants to supply then with help I don’t see the problem.
At the same time, Russia should have stayed the fuck out of Ukraine (just like us should have stayed out of Venezuela and Iran) so I also don’t see a problem with the west supplying weapons to Ukraine.
See how that works? Turns out you can admit that your government is in the wrong and an imperialist shithole that values power and resources above all else.
Or at least, I can. Idk where they make you stay on the computer to spout these points. Or hey, maybe you even really believe them idk. Either way, its ok to admit when your country is doing something wrong. They aren’t going to throw in a political prison for it and if they would, then you should consider why you defend them.
Sorry, which part isn’t true? Really hope you’re just a bot. Shouldn’t you be on max right now?
If you don’t wish to talk to humans, lemmy is the wrong place for you.

It’s not me claiming it, it’s Budanov saying it, but surely you know better https://kyivindependent.com/wars-are-not-won-without-people-budanov-warns-of-mobilization-crisis/

Between us and this Budanov guy, who do you think is more familiar with the reality on the ground?
The reality on the ground is that Ukraine is running out of manpower as Budanov openly admits. That means Russia is winning through attrition. Why is the EU tightening its grip on communication, why does the EU ban Russian media when Russia doesn’t ban western media? What is the EU afraid of?

Your own military bloggers are sounding the alarm bell. Besides, a healthy Russia doesn’t lose control of Mali & Moldova in the same week.
Anybody who follows the conflict knows that Russian military bloggers aren’t exactly a reliable source for much of anything. But hey, whatever helps you cope I suppose.
