    Russia controls the east and south of Ukraine. Russia is leaving Odesa for trade reasons. The problem is the more fighting, the more area for Russia. It is better for Europe and Ukraine to realize the true facts on the ground and seek seize fire. President Putin already announced victory.

    How many cities and large towns has Russia taken since this "stalled again" article was published? 1/2 dozen? How many have Ukraine taken back? 0? So much wishful thinking at tldr.

    Putin is playing it smart not committing so many forces to his perceived NATO problem that China has the opportunity to step up to the plate and annex Russia in world war II Russia's leaders had the bright idea of siding with Hitler look what happened if you could fool Russian leaders once China could do it again

    February 19, 2024 at 5:36 am

    The Ukrainians did not understand that this war was against the United States and not Ukraine. If it were a real war, the entire army with nuclear weapons would be involved, and so they carry food, medical care, etc. America rubs its hands on the enmity of peoples – this is for real orun fools. Did you like the price of utilities, gas, courts taking away property, etc. Ukrainians are a springboard for an attack on Russia with mined biological laboratories and bases!!! Its hard to conduct a special operation when disguised people shoot you in the back

  17. @dvsfreek

    February 19, 2024 at 5:36 am

    Nevr stalled in the first place..even Ukrainian officials are admitting overwhelming losses at 400 per day with an average of 7-10 Russian forces.

    I see the venom flowing out of jealousy from those US and NATO countries who infact begged Taliban for Mercy in Kabul and ran out so fast that made Usain Bolt to BLUSH 😊.
    WAIT.
    When the US and the West get involved in a conflict in future,
    Russia will arm their enemies and you will bleed.
    US must understand COWBOY TIMES ARE OVER LONG AGO and we will see what USA and NATO do when China invades Taiwan.

    You made Russian & Ukraine Brothers to fight each other by expanding NATO to east when Ukraine is the only buffer state between Russia & NATO and west is flaming the war by pumping arms in to Ukraine and all arms producers in West are feeling Happy as their pockets are full.
    All of you are fed again and again by Fake News and stupidly belive that Ukraine will win this conflict.
    Like Gost of Kiev,loss of Russian Generals is a cooked up story to keep you entertained 😆.
    When ISIS was slitting the throat of Westerners, Obama was sleeping and President Putin bombed them to Hell.
    When Twin Towers were brought down,America became the laughing stock of the world.
    USA and NATO started this war and RUSSIA will finish.
    All you clay heads go to your Fake News Channels…,

    hi kid "content creator" the day you understand that russia did not declare war to Ukraine yet , you will be able to understand the military situation there lol and maybe stop repeating what you hear like parrot

    This is the most embarrassing thing I have ever witnessed.

  23. @praymunread9985

    February 19, 2024 at 5:36 am

    The real issue is Putin will not negotiate. But he can be forced to lose if the UN and US give Ukraine fighters!!

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far.
