The Russian commander of the “Vostok” Battalion fighting in southern Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine will not be defeated and suggested that Russia freeze the war along current frontlines.
Alexander Khodakovsky made the candid concession yesterday on his Telegram channel after Russian forces, including his own troops, were devastatingly defeated by Ukrainian marines earlier this week at Urozhaine in the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk regional border area.
“Can we bring down Ukraine militarily? Now and in the near future, no,” Khodakovsky, a former official of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, said yesterday.
“When I talk to myself about our destiny in this war, I mean that we will not crawl forward, like the [Ukrainians], turning everything into [destroyed] Bakhmuts in our path. And, I do not foresee the easy occupation of cities,” he said.
I know you're being sarcastic but no, they don't deserve being talked to nicely. All these bloodthirsty libs are happy to dance on the graves of thousands upon thousands of Ukrainians because of some vague notion of the west being 'the good guys', gladly ignoring history but being incredibly smug in their ignorance. We provide sources, walls of text to explain where we're coming from, only for them to ignore all the work and effort we put in and go back to their fuckin bubble to complain about how we're 'tankies' and pat each other on the back for being anti-amperialist NATO lovers, lacking either the knowledge or the ideological spine to see the absolute hypocrisy in what they're doing. Or the smug reddit tier comment saying 'I ain't reading all that' because they need spend a fucking minute reading the thoughts of someone better informed than them.
TL;DR?
No
It would take you less that 15 seconds to just read the comment.
