I particularly like your last sentence

"Instead of using military tactics in the battlefield zelensky is using politics"

Once a clown always a clown. Elensky has destroyed Ukraine as we know it.

WriterNiig:
The 🇷🇺 Russian army now controls 84,630 square kilometers of the territory of 🇺🇦 Ukraine, equal to 14.02% of Ukraine, a year after launching a special military operation against NATO in 🇺🇦 Ukraine.

By comparison, the territories controlled by Russian forces in one year in 🇺🇦 Ukraine is equal to the territory of 4 European countries together: 🇧🇪 Belgium, 🇦🇱 Albania, 🇱🇺 Luxembourg and 🇲🇪 Montenegro.

Despite having such restricted forces ...

Truth be told, this nation is strong.

🇷🇺 Russia Sold Oil Far Above Price Cap, Researchers Say:

Bloomberg reports that on average Russia sells oil for $ 74 per barrel, despite the price ceilings. 🇨🇳 China buys at a price of as much as $ 82. And half of this same oil from Russia goes by shadow schemes and does not fall under the ceiling at all.

Russia always one-step ahead. EU they learn work.

New start treaty was not between US and old Soviet Union but rather between US and Russia itself. Signed by Obama and Medvedev in 2010

And it was not to bar the range of nukes, because you can’t cap the range of an ICBM. Rather to reduce the number of strategic deployed nuke capable ICBM.

You have time schooling him.

So Biden had to beg Putin first before he could go see his puppet.

It's good to be powerful sha.. if not dem for don level Russia like Wetin dem do Iraq and Libya.

He had to even go by train from Poland because he knows by air is too risky

The fear of Ukrainian misfiring air defense weapons is the beginning of wisdom. So better to go by train.

I understand the achievement Russia is gaining by day in Ukraine: advancement of Ukrainian forces; the death of Russian forces; the thrashing economy of Russia; the NATO having a sense of purpose; the isolation of Russia; Russia losing its biggest customers: EU and I can go on and on.

Forget about your emotions and see reality.

Ukraine forces advancing to where? They're taking a beating like mad. NATO is in disarray; ask Croatia, Bulgaria, Italy, Turkey, and Hungary vis-a-vis Ukraine. Russia economy grows and is forecasted by the world bank to grow beyond expectations this year, so much for sanctions and "thrashed economy". But same cannot be said about the likes of the UK and the EU whose economy is experiencing one of the worst debacles of their modern history. From eggs to baby foods, scarcity and soaring prices continue to escalate. Now, the US just said it might default on its massive debt this year.

Russia is only isolated in the myopic view lens of your emotional perceptions. From Africa to Asia to Latin America, and the Middle East, nations wants to be friends with Russia and many are doing business, striking new deals with Russia.

Brother, when you're big, you're big. Russia is too big to be ignored and too powerful to fail economically and militarily in this modern times of technology.

It is common sense not rocket science,it is foolish individuals that
Think Ukraine will defeat Russia because of some weapons from NATO, Russia has Been stockpiling weapons for over 40 years, they produce like 100 times more weapons than Ukraine, it's not even a sensible comparison, they have the means to wage war for a 100years against the whole if NATO and still not run out of weapons,not to talk of Ukraine, Ukraine has only suffered for just a year and they're already crying, Dem never even see anything

Where have you been all this while?

You know, Russia is losing and Ukraine is winning ... All in reverse. This Nairaland is full of deluded folks.

olugabbie:
The total strength of the LPR & DPR militias was around 15k as at Feb, 2022. You can check BBC or CNN for confirmation. The troops Russia deployed at the initial stage was less than 200k.

In war you don't deploy your entire troops to the frontline. Let me do the analysis for you.

The entire Russian troops of 200k were not deployed to the frontline. Only about 1/3 of the 200k were deployed to frontline. The rest (2/3) were in charge of logistics, manning of the supply line (the bigger the conflict zone, the longer the supply line), sappers (the group that diffuse mine), medical unit e.t.c. So the bulk of the bulk of the 200k were far away from the frontline.

You have patient educating that brother. He pisses me off with his fake prophecies.

Ask him how many 🛰 satellites did Iraq or Afghanistan have to locate US troops. None

How about precision missiles? Did they even have enough tanks and APCS? All they had were rusty AK-7's, machine guns and RPG's.

The US fought goat herders in the middle east. Ukraine on the other hand is the real war.

Btw we're on the same page Appleyard. I agree with you.

So much misinformation about this ongoing Ukraine war. I find it difficult to even reply some of the propagandized minds here.

For instance, here is what the current death toll on both sides looks like according to reputable sources:


KIA totals.
Current Russian losses (RF, LPR, DPR, Wagner, Chechens), by source:

◾️Medusa: 14,000 KIA

◾️BBC: 12,000 KIA confirmed, possibly as high as 20,000 KIA

◾️Mossad: 18,850 KIA

🟥 Current Kiev regime losses:

◾️Col. Douglas Macgregor: 157,000 KIA

◾️Mossad: 157,000 KIA
Ete not forget what Ursula said about Ukrainian KIA.

Yet, some folks on these forum still think Russia has lost more than Ukraine, and is currently losing the conflict. That's how you know the effect of propaganda. I feel sorry for a lot of them here.

These are serious allegations. You will never hear this across the mainstream media.

braindead man.
do u mean that russia is afraid of nuking a nato soil , since he threatened to do so if he sees a nato army on the front.

There is a reason why people don't bother responding to you: because you don't make sense other than insults.

Move ahead... I don't stoop so low.

GeorgWashinton:
Stop deceiving yourselves. At this point you guys should be ashamed of yourselves that the whole Russia whose military is second only to America is still struggling with a little country with no
ranking in the world best military.

Pro_putin's delusion grows by day.

For you to say Ukraine is a small military shows that you don't even know what's up. Go ahead and read up on Ukraine's military might before the conflict. Read up on how entrenched that army has been for the past eight years prior to the war. Then read up on NATO active support and deployment of its "All seeing Eye" backing up Ukraine since the war began. Then compare Russia's achievement so far with that of the US achievement in Vietnam and Iraq, countries that has very little to no support from outside powers. Comeback and tell me who is deceiving whom.

It's shameful that that guys like you cannot stomach the fact that more than 30 nations backing one of the biggest and most entrenched armies in the world is losing more than 25 percent of it's territory while the backers are running out of ammo to even help it further against Russia who is fighting with just 10 percent of its military might.

I dey laugh.

It's paining hm because more and more NATO regulars dubbed as 'delisted' NATO soldiers are being killed in Ukraine and their bodies scattered all over the place. Even western ministry of truth can no longer hide the catastrophic losses the west/Ukrainians are suffering in Ukraine.

If you want to know the different between Ukrainian military and the Iraqis military. Just checkout what Russia did in Syria.

The question how many anti-tank weapon did Iraq possess? How many portable anti-air weapon like Stinger did Iraq possess? Did Iraq get any military aid?

Jens Stoltenberg chooses his words carefully. The strait-laced Norwegian secretary-general of Nato is famous for his ability to stick rigidly to talking points. So when he warned this week that the west’s “under strain” defence sector had “a problem”, he meant it.
Russia’s war against Ukraine is almost a year old. Tens of thousands have been killed. Western governments have provided more than $110bn worth of support to Kyiv, according to the Kiel Institute(opens a new window), with $38bn in the form of weapons.
But in many capitals, defence ministers are being informed by their generals that there is precious little left to give. Warehouses and dumps are bare. Denmark has given Ukraine every single one of its Caesar howitzers. Estonia has provided so many 155mm artillery guns it has none left.
As such, the conversations between western defence ministers who met at Nato’s headquarters this week and who will congregate at the Munich Security Conference this weekend are littered with furrowed brows and anxious looks: how long can we sustain this level of support, and with what?
Looming over them is Russia’s spring offensive, which Stoltenberg said had already begun. It is expected to involve a mass wave of newly mobilised troops, a level of air power not yet deployed by Moscow, and the daily firing of as many artillery shells as Europe manufacturers in a month.
“It is worrying what is coming,” admitted Kajsa Ollongren, the Netherlands’ defence minister.
She described “a sense of urgency” among her fellow Nato ministers this week. “[It is] a critical moment because of what we see happening on the ground and what we expect to be happening in the next few months.”
“Also, thinking a little bit ahead, a serious scenario is of course that this war will drag on for a long time,” she added.
Europe responded to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion with initial disbelief. Capitals that had previously declared he had no plans to do so then duly predicted Kyiv would fall in days.
But that rapidly gave way to a level of unity and support that defied both expectations and past form. Armies starved of funding by governments that had long dismissed the notion of war in Europe dug deep, and within weeks arms were flowing east across the Polish-Ukrainian border (as refugees flowed the other way).
But almost 12 months of gruelling war, in which Putin’s troops have targeted both civilian infrastructure and military targets, has placed immense pressure on Europe’s ill-prepared defence sector.
E[b]urope’s factories are barely able to make enough shells to supply a week’s worth of Ukraine’s needs. [/b]Waiting times for some munitions have more than doubled.
Stocks of Soviet equipment held by eastern Nato states, which Ukraine’s soldiers know how to use, have been exhausted. Decisions to send new types of western-made weapons — such as armoured vehicles — are met with fanfare but are followed by weeks and months of delays as armies realise how much refurbishment they require.
“It’s not going well for the Ukrainians. They are short of everything,” said Judy Dempsey, non-resident senior fellow at Carnegie Europe. “Ukraine really needs the means [to fight back], but they aren’t getting it.”
“[The Europeans] are fully behind the Ukrainians. But it’s not enough,” said Dempsey. “You don’t question the political will to support Ukraine, but the actual ability to deliver enough, and quick enough.”
The answer, according to most officials, is large, long-term contracts with defence manufacturers, initially for the war effort but with pledges from European governments to keep buying even when peace comes to Ukraine. Such conversations will dominate Munich, too.
Estonia’s defence minister proposed to his counterparts this week that donor countries combine to sign a €‎4bn contract to procure 1mn artillery rounds, as a test case for joint purchases that give defence contractors the security to invest in new capacities.
Seven European countries, including the UK, Norway and Denmark, announced on Wednesday a jointly funded £200mn package of direct contracts between Ukraine and western defence manufacturers for supplies, including artillery ammunition and spare parts for tanks.
Nato, for its part, late last year ordered all its members to perform a snap check of their inventories. It is now using the results to target individual governments and push them to sign new production contracts.
“We’re not just sitting there idle and watching this happening,” said Stoltenberg this week, suggesting that factories add shifts and “even work during weekends”.
The problem, of course, is that Russia’s war economy has been running for at least a year. Europe, meanwhile, is just getting into gear.

At the bolded, when we tell our western-leaning brothers doing life in western prison of misinformation that Russia hasn't even started, they are quick to chorus propaganda and all sort of balderdash. Now, the reality is dawning on them.

This is Russia, yet to use much of its air power, new tech, and missile supremacy. It has not even touched 30 percent of its artillery and weapon storage, yet the whole west is practically running out of ammo for Ukraine. Ukraine uses up a month's worth of artillery ammo that NATO cannot replace a month while Russia expends that daily. The money they have spent in aiding Ukraine is bigger than the defense budget of most of the countries in NATO. Unfortunately, the morons in western bureaucratic offices would keep digging in for the long haul, which would only hurt them more economically and politically because the Russian economy and defense industry is designed for this kind of scenario since there is less bureaucracy involved.
