Well, yes.

I repeat literally assessments of Russians, and claims of Putin himself. Domination of the black sea surely means evacuation of remains of Crimean fleet to Novorossisk, and almost complete absence of russian military in the black and Azov sea - confirmed by satellite imagery. Russia tried to turn hunger into weapon trying to block ships passing to Ukrainian ports, and failed - their unilateral withdrawal from the Istanbul agreement

I agree that russia braced their economics very well and handled the sanctioned better than most anticipated. However, the pressure mounts and the government is forced to raise taxes - surely not a sign of a blooming economy. Recent Ukrainian targeted hits at major refineries, turning Russia to import fuels - this is important both in military and economical contexts.

What I say is Russia is worse than it was at the beginning, despite territorial gains.

Yeah, they lost black sea fleet almost completely, burned way over 30k lives to take over ruins of Bakhmut, about the same to destroy and 'take over's Avdiivka, got royally fucked with the assault on Vovchansk and Sumy direction, emptied their stock of towed artillery and APCs, had to borrow and from China, Iran and fucking North Korea, got sanctioned so much that rouble is now in free trade with yuan, committed genocide and ecocide, and generally lost over half a million of soldiers while aiming for week-long speed run to kill Nazi Jew zelenski. But sure this only made them stronger.

Upd: oh boi do I forget to mention that for half a year Ukraine was effectively feigning of f the entire Russian army while having close to no weapons, and delivering majority of strikes with $500/piece plastic toys

'Russia is not going to X' is a very weak argument, and over the last 10 years Russia crossed many of those Xs, regardless of you thinking it's not going to.

You don't know what your are writing about. Like, factually incorrect.

I play, like, fine games. In very irregular binges. Why the fuck would I shill out 500 Euros, to raise my binges' fps?

Screw beards, ALL HAIL THOMPSON AND RITCHIE!

Dear sirs, I call bullshit! There's no \n after the :wq!

In the 18 months since the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, about 150 million ton of co2 were released. Greens are radically silent though.

Nah instead two elections cycles later a candidate will be elected, who will be running ad breaks and monetizing execution videos, all while parading patriotic bullshit.

The Blindboy Podcast. An artist from Limerick delivered a mix of sizzling hot takes on a variety of topics, reads short stories from his books, lives interviews with range of interesting guests, or talks art, psychology, creativity and what not. Can be quite eccentric at times .

You evade answering questions like debt collectors.

Did you ever read a book on Ukraine's history? Name one?

Last time I checked, the birthplace of parents doesn't qualify you for any domain specific knowledge.

Just as you don't know a thing about the chicken Kiev speech, you lack any deep, actual knowledge of what life in Ukraine is. Or rather was before 2013.

And yeah, the whole quora post you link to is laughable - how much things does it get wrong.

You know nothing about Ukraine.

Before we proceed to discuss this valuable political point, what is your opinion on JWBush's 1990 speech in Verkhovna Rada? Or you are of that bunch who thought oatmeal cookies on Maidan in 2014 were how these ammies bought Ukraine's independence?

But Ukraine can't even get enough AGTMs and shells. God forbid mentioning atacms, almost two fucking years!

I can't believe that Netanjahu is more trustworthy than Zaluzhny.
