I think this is a distracting blow, but if Ukraine lost its dominant height in Avdeevka, this is a great success for Russia; this waste heap could not be taken for a year and a half.

Great success... from May 9 parade in Kyiv to capturing a pile of waste. Whoever is responsible for this great achievement probably needs to avoid airplanes - victorious Russian invaders have a habit of dying in plane crashes.

A Russian parade in Kyiv on May 9, 2022 would be a much greater success for Ukraine than its current situation. Grin

Ye olde narrative of "Ruzzia (Moscow) being better for Ukraine". Repeat it 1000 times and is still a fallacy like the first time.

No one is offering Ukraine to be with Russia; Russia doesn’t need such rotten friends. The point is that maintaining neutrality is much better for Ukraine than fighting with Russia.

Oh... that's new. I mean, not that you do not want them as "friends" - Ruzzia does not have "friends", what you spoke about is about overtaking Ukraine, changing the government to a puppet like uncle Luka, create two independent states...

And now you speak about neutrality. Ruzzia never wanted "neutrality", Moscow wanted a base in Sebastopol , buffer states a better link to Crimea... but certainly not "neutrality".

Seriously? It seems that you are so passionate about fueling this armed conflict that you don’t even know the main condition for ending it. Neutrality, a constitutionally enshrined non-bloc status - this is what Russia needs from Ukraine.

Ahhh, so I am passionate about the conflict while you little Ruzzi Trolls just want peace? Like when you post...

Otto von Bismarck once said:

Quote

Do not expect that once you take advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on the Jesuit agreements you signed, supposedly justifying you. They are not worth the paper they are written on. Therefore, it is worth either playing fair with the Russians, or not playing at all.

Yep, the deputies of the State Duma adopted in the third reading a law that they didn’t even read (they had less than an hour to get acquainted with the voluminous package of amendments). Grin

I think that in Russia in the foreseeable future there will be a second wave of partial mobilization, and for Ukraine this is bad news. There will be no peace talks, there is no one to negotiate with. Ukraine will suffer a military defeat.

Nice smile you have when others are sent to die... very "passionate".

Meanwhile, there are rumors, which I can neither confirm nor deny, that as a result of one of the missile strikes, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny was eliminated. At least he hasn't appeared in public for about a month. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the delay of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Well... you are clearly a pacifist, I will even bother to copy here all the "military" reports, the jokes about missiles hitting Ukraine and the chanting of "victories".

It happens the same with Putler..., there is a little "trust" issue you know? Is like if one gets the feeling that he is mostly bullshiting in any international declaration? .

I am just going to quote myself on this one:

Examples: "I am not going to invade Ukraine". Then I declare that the bit of Ukraine I am going to invade is not Ukraine, thus all is as I said.
"This is just a military exercise in our border, it is just a coincidence that Ukraine is near", then the exercise becomes an attack.
"This is about the safety of Europe", and then I start a war in Europe.
...

There have been two previous agreements with the Moscowians that have been broken. The story would be more like signing a neutrality agreement (which Ukraine does not have to, it is their right to choose not Putler's), but then, Ruzzia rearms and re-stocks, decides that Ukraine is not "neutral enough" and then ... another land grab.

By now, everyone has figured out that Putin wants to rebuild the USSR... but Kleptocrat style.
