    It’s hard to not post bad news about Ukraine, it’s not like their counteroffensive is going well right? 😅

      Funny how all you tankies have been saying the same thing since the war began. Yet ukraine is still in it and advancing. So odd. Almost like all you tankies want people outside the warzone to ignore ukraine and give up, stop sending arms. I’m sure that’s all a coincidence though.

        ukraine is still in it and advancing

        But that’s just not true, in fact Russia is making gains on the north and south lines now (source for the map is the Institute for the Study of War: https://isw.pub/InteractiveUkraineWarMap)

        The Washington Post: Ukraine running out of options to retake significant territory

        The Economist: Ukraine’s sluggish counter-offensive is souring the public mood

        CNN: “Russians have a number of defensive lines and they (Ukrainian forces) haven’t really gone through the first line,” said a senior Western diplomat. “Even if they would keep on fighting for the next several weeks, if they haven’t been able to make more breakthroughs throughout these last seven, eight weeks, what is the likelihood that they will suddenly, with more depleted forces, make them? Because the conditions are so hard.”

        Almost like all you tankies want people outside the warzone to ignore ukraine and give up, stop sending arms

        Yeah I want the war to end so that Ukrainian and Russian workers stop dying for the American/European/Russian elites, is that a bad thing?
