How?
Did they succeed in demilitarization of Ukraine as they said was their objective? NO

The Soldiers of Ukraine we still see fighting everywhere are they ghosts since you said "completely annihilated the target".

Please what was their target? Enlighten me

Yes, they have succeeded in demilitarization of Ukraine. Even the Ukrainian government itself confirmed it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tribuneindia.com/news/world/russia-has-destroyed-most-of-ukraines-defence-industry-ukrainian-presidential-adviser-382424

Demilitarization doesn't just involved the destruction of key military installations but also the annihilation of machinery assets for creating such installations, which is the defense industry. This will make it practically impossible for the Ukrainians to build their own offensive capabilities let alone playing as a host to foreign military installations hostile to Russia. This too has already been agreed to by Ukraine in the talks ongoing in Turkey.

The Russians didn't call this a "special military operation " for nothing.

Remove emotions and see the reality for yourself.

The target are those installations/Ukrianian ability to wage war, not the Ukrainian soldiers per se.

Today, Ukraine have no navy, no meaningful airforce, and it's army is completely landlocked. The Ukrainian government secretary wasn't mincing words when he said Russia have almost destroyed all the nation's defense capabilities.

Don't allow emotions to cloud your judgment.

They retook ruins... lolz. If you destroy something you no go Comot?.

You like deceiving yourself. Russia has drawn down its forces in the Kyiv area. Ukrainian propaganda now misreport such tactical movements.

Drawn?
And this is the second month since the inversion.

The russians controlled all these,they are all strategic and ukraine will be land locked by the time they finish with it

1Mariupol, the strategic Sea of Azov port
Azovstal one of Europe’s biggest iron and steel works
Azovstal, part of the Metinvest group controlled by Ukraine’s wealthiest oligarch, Rinat Akhmetov,one of the biggest metallurgic plants in Europe

Sea of Azov, which is now, incorporated into the Donetsk People’s Republic, and close to the Black Sea.

They’re welcome to try to assault Odessa

Russians took one look at the fortifications and understood that an amphibious landing would be suicide.

Lmao such nonsense Sha.

So I guess all the weapons Ukraine have either captured or which Russian military abandoned for fear of being killed plus the ones various nations have been sending to Ukraine have all been demilitarized?

Do you even read what you type before posting at all?

So right now the NATO nations that are sending weapons to Ukraine are not building their defense mechanisms for Ukraine?

You are the one allowing childish emotions beguile your common sense

ken6488:
Old news

What's old news?

So here’s the facts.

Yes, russia pulled out of NW Ukraine in a hurry. No, it didn’t go according to plan. They took a beating on the roads during the hasty withdrawal…there’s a lot of abandoned armor and weapons…not to mention stuff destroyed during the retreat. Fear of being encircled led to that retreat.
All their hard fought gains…all lost at significant cost in men and materiel.


Unfortunately for the Russians, they didn’t even leave a dug out force to tie down significant portions of the defenders of Kiev. And now these Ukrainian units can be quickly sent to the front in the East.

Meanwhile the Russians will need weeks to reconstitute the battered Kyiv invasion forces into fighting fit units.

The battle of Kyiv is over, and it’s ended with a Ukrainian victory. The next phase - the battle in the East - is still up for grabs. But at this stage, you’d be unwise to rule Ukraine out.


Meanwhile, multiple western countries are now preparing to send heavier equipment to Ukraine. Armored troop carriers, longer range artillery, anti-ship missiles etc.

It’s going to be tough for Russia.

GardenOfGod:
Ukraine is winning the war surprisingly

The Russians withdrew as they had earlier mentioned. Units have been withdrawn back to Belarus, repairs are being carried out of broken equipment. In Ukraine, the Russians have set up a defensive position across the Irpin river. The Ukrainians are merely occupying spaces the Russians have withdrawn from. That's all.

Putin humiliated again, it would b difficult for Russia to sustain the war, they don't have the resources and numbers for a long war. Meanwhile Ukrainians are ready to fight till only God knows cos it there land, they are ready to defend their land till death. Putin wasn't expecting such resistance, also the West are massively supplying weapons to Ukraine, tell me how Putin wan take win

The Russians announced a change in strategy days ago. Their withdrawal from Kyiv is because they've changed that objective. About a week or 2 ago, Zelensky admitted publicly that Ukraine joining NATO was no longer feasible. The Russians in turn said they will no longer pursue the objective of regime change. It therefore makes no sense for the Russians to capture Kyiv. The east and south of Ukraine are the main prizes for the Russians.

So no Putin has not been humiliated again.

AFONJAPIG:
I think Russia is overrated... minus nuk I don't even know if it can fire a serious country can invade and put it to ruin

The Georgians and Syrians beg to differ. With what you've said, then the Isreali IDF could've been called over rated after the debacle called the 2006 Lebanon War where Hezbollah practically decimated that notion that the famous IDF was invincible, achieving what no Arab military has achieved......and we know that's not true.

I'll compare this present war to a fight between a Honey Badger (Ukraine) and a Grizzly Bear (Russia). The Honey Badger, though small is one very viscous animal, known for attacking and tearing off the testicles, and the Grizzly Bear can be slow/lumbering.......but it does NOT change the fact that the Grizzly Bear can still inflict extreme damage (case in point Mariupol, Irpin, etc). Underestimate the Russians at your own peril.

Yen yen yen

I say it with my full chest

A General is meant to lead in battle due to his wealth of experience.However,it is deemed "unofficially optional" because if he loses his life,that will be a great loss to the entire Army.You can't replace a General in a matter of 14 years because a General isn't made in 14 years.

Many rugged and fearless Generals stay in the trenches with their troops to fight, lead their troops in clearance operations and patrols,lead troops advancing on enemy positions.

Gen Adeniyi(rtd),the former theater commander of Operation Lafiya Dole did engage the enemy alongside his troops.
Late Brig.Gen Zirkisu fought side by side with his gallant troops till his last breath.
We miss you oga sir!



I repeat,DO NOT SAY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!

Russia withdrew it forces for tactical reasons in order to concentrate on other areas.

There is no brain staying in a conquered environment when you can actually focus on more burning issues.

How far did Germany decide to pay in rubles or did Russia cut of supply as they promise they would today.

Clown

morikee:

I can't stop laughing at you. Russians didn't expect resistance, just like in Georgia and Cremia, the world is laughing at weak Russian military and economy.

Very easy,just continue your propaganda.people that are negotating deals at the back.,even iranian oil they have been buying.

boyfrank:

Ukraine is industrialised, though not on the level of Germany. Shows u didn't understand history. The reason Germany and Japan recovered so fast was because if the US marshal plan. The same US is already preparing billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine industrialized? For where? What industries does Ukraine have? Ukraine is industrialized and they are always begging the US for aid and military hardware. Japan and Germany had a massive military industrial complex, they did not beg anyone for military equipment. Germany conquered most of Europe, japan conquered most of south east Asia including China, and you are comparing with Ukraine that is always begging everyone for help. Germany also almost defeated Russia if not for massive military aid from the US.

You are a poor student of history.

They withdrew because of monumental loses incurred on their troops. No stories.
