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?
