The Ukrainian Situation

It's disgusting that Putin's blackmailing of Trump has brought us here, but on the other hand, the Western European nations need to come together and collective stand up to Putin. They must know Putin will not stop if he successfully gains some our all of Ukraine. European nations can do it until Trump and or Vance are out of office.

Putin lost 25,000 troops, maybe the worst defeat since the war started. Russia is leaving its casualties on the battlefield.

The right wing media is pushing for Putin's peace plan, but alongside this push it is pushing the narrative that Russia is winning the war.

Ukraine is blowing up Russian oil depots and refineries, Russia is losing its war piggy bank.

Winter is coming and Russia wanted to capture Pokrovsk before it hit, Pokrovsk is the gateway for supplies and reinforcements.

I believe that Russian soldiers are going to be hit with a long cold winter, hence the push for Ukraine to surrender.

Ukraine will never surrender should be the narrative posted here and in the MSM, fuck the Putin/Krasnov peace plan.

Oh, I just read that Russia doesn't have the money to pay its soldiers, how long can that situation remain?
