Nato admitted its defeat in Ukraine, but Nafo trolls are still repeating their old lies about how weak Russia is.
I don't understand what kind of people they are. Are they still getting their paychecks for trolling the internet?
It can be difficult when you find out what you believed to be true turns out to be a lie... many will be in denial...
So lets pose a question, how much of Ukraine do you all think Russia will annex
When the Ukrainian army collapses the Russians will move in to keep the peace while referendums are set up and delivered so the people can decide what they want.
Nazis and war criminals will be rounded up and will get what is coming to them in a court of law and people who moved will be sent back to where they came from if they don't run away to the west to avoid justice.
Putin himself will not say it is his decision for the future of Ukraine, it is up to the people to decide, but many need access to the truth before they can make an educated decision. The truth is coming.
All of it except some areas in the West & SW which will be taken by Poland, Hungary & Romania.
There will be discussion with the people in those regions and Poland and Hungary and Romania no doubt but I suspect Putin is not going to reward HATO countries who armed Kiev and led to a war that could have lasted a few months or didn't even need to happen in the first place.
If Ukraine just had to surrender those areas I'd consider it a pyrrhic victory for them.
I have to agree. This is not a stalemate... the lack of movement on the battlefield is because Russia has been in meat grinder mode and while Kiev kept sending the meat they didn't need to move... they can move if they want.
Ukraine really has no choice to fight until the bitterend now if they want to remain has a country, because the surrender terms the russians will demand will not be something they will accept
I suspect there will be a massive backlash against the west in the Ukraine and quite a few Ukrainians not happy with Zelensky might overthrow him because he wont talk to Putin. Honestly talking to Putin is his best bet because I don't think any other Russian politician would be as fair to Kiev as he would.
Having said that he is not an idiot and he knows it is not a stalemate but equally he will not want to throw away the lives of Russian soldiers for nothing.
Having said that of course he know freezing this and kicking the can down the road means this could happen again in 5 years when HATO has quietly rearmed Kiev for round two.
A permanent solution is needed.
Imo its well past the point of making a deal, as any deal the russians will make will basically be "surrender completely, give up huge amounts of land, disband your military, and no NATO or EU"
Ukraine of course will never agree to that.
Lets be realistic... Zelensky has painted itself into a corner and probably can't agree to that, but the Ukrainians agreed to that last year when Boris talked them out of it... you don't honestly think that agreement included Kiev joining the EU or HATO do you?
So they already agreed to not join for likely guarantees from Russia.
Many Russians would have to die to conquer the territory you mention, which is the whole of Ukroshitstan.
When Kievs army collapses there will be no one to oppose them...
Yet they claim to have the most advanced PGMs.
And the best security fences... who would have thought a wall does not stop a war...
