Still doesn't help Russia or its reputation with its neighbour or with anybody.

An invasion of a democratic and sovereign state is unacceptable.

Russian is currently suffering serious sanctions. if they keep this up they will be completely isolated.

Sovereignty and democracy are not real. What is real is interest

Soldiers die in war, my friend. That is why it is called battle. It is not where kids play in sand.

Bakhmut is insignificant and of no strategic gain to Russia. But they needed the win to PEPPER the west. This isnt just a win. It is more like flushing 'Billions of dollar' invested by US, UK and the rest of war-mongers, down the toilet.

This is not just the slippers wearing, Ak-47 wielding untrained fighters US bullied in Afghanistan. We are talking Ukrainian army, the second most trained army in the world, armed with weapons, military intelligence, secret fighters from almost 24 countries. Guess what, they lost to a single Mercenary troop.

Money wasted and Confidence level reduced to -0.344.

And Russia did not lose anything and anyone to the battle for Bahkmut?
Your comment reeks of bias against the West.
Why hasn't Putin captured all of Ukraine within weeks, if the weapons the West sent to Zelesky made no difference?

What should they negotiate?
Ceding part of their country to a greedy invader?

Another fascinating thing is that Zelensky is currently on world tour presently, from Arab nation to G7 Nations; begging for more weapons. More billions of dollar to waste, more lives of innocent soldiers to sacrifice just to please his puppeteer.

Zelensky was , is and will ever be a comedian.

Bakhmut went down, just like Mariupol city. The hardest and brutal way possible, so bloody that it only exist in horror movies.

Zelensky, aided by the western media propaganda were covering up the daily loses there just like Mariupol. They never admitted to the ongoing slaughter of the Ukranian forces daily. Instead they covered it up for cheap chestbeating in the media. They kept sending the soldiers to their death.

Bllions of dollar worth of military equipment, aid, assistance from US, UK and other war-mongers ,flushed down the drain. Even the medicore overhyped Patrotiic-missile system couldn't save anyone. No wonder US backed-Ta!wan President stated it clearly yesterday, that they will never go to war with Ch!na no matter what. Everybody is finally seeing the reality in Ukraine. If US succeed in pushing anyone to war with its neighbour. They are on their own.

Because they have been killed or injured.

Lol, this is laughable.

I don’t think more than 20k regular Russian forces have been killed/wounded since the war started. And the bulk of the casualties they took happened during the first 2months of the war and in Lyman. Outside that - they haven’t really been that much involved apart from Kherson and Mariupol.

Russia currently has about 2million active forces and almost 700k of them are chilling somewhere in Southern Ukraine, Luhansk and along the borders. Those doing most of the heavy fighting are Wagner and the separatists albeit regular Russian forces are supporting them with artillery.

Donetsk where Bakhmut is located is heavily fortified with underground tunnels and deep trenches. You don’t throw your elite forces in a frontal assault meat grinder such as that - you use expendable forces hence it’s well suited for Wagner since it has a lot of hardened prisoners in its rank. But they were supported with artillery by Russian VDV (paratroopers), tho. Ukraine can throw its elite forces there because it’s the most strategic point in Ukraine for logistics (the primary node for rail transport) - it’s also high ground and its strongest line of defence.

I think a lot of you need to study this war without bias because it’s providing the best education of what modern warfare looks like in real time with a real war. The last time the world witnessed something like this was in Vietnam.

Why is it that mostly Buhari, APC and Tinubu supporters are the ones always celebrating Russia's invasion of Ukraine?


Are these people cursed to love oppression and injustice against mankind?


Na wa oh.



My prayer for you all is that may God of justice and the forces of the universe reward all according to what they support and praise here on earth and thereafter.

I am shocked too o. See people supporting and celebrating oppression, invasion and destruction of a thriving nation because it simply does not agree with its big neighbour. I reserve my comment. sad

Please can someone summarize the cause of this war for me, I mean why they fighting? I used to support Ukraine, but it's like people are not supporting them, they say something like Nazi, I supported Ukraine because I thought Russia was just looking for where to test their missiles, but it's like there's more to that.


And please, those houses in rubbles, I believe civilians were evacuated before bringing excavator to pull them down

It is over for Ukraine.

Lol, proper meat grinder.

By the time Wagner finish blitzing the rest of Donetsk - it’s downhill for them as they won’t have that many capable forces to hold anything.

I won’t be surprised if NATO joins officially by then to create something similar to the Korean.

I’m hearing that the commander of Ukrainian forces, Zaluzhnyi, has either been killed or wounded.

You are sounding very poor in knowledge here, there is never a war between Russia and Ukraine. It's Russia that is invading Ukraine despite the US, UK and the entire western Europe supporting Ukraine .
If they should be a full scale war between Ukraine and Russia , Ukraine will be wipe out from earth within 24hrs.

I can't wait for NATO to send Ukraine some F16s so they'll be destroyed too.

F16, just like the hype on HIMARS, Javelin and Patriot SAMs will not significantly affect the momentum of the war…. IRussia will fight NATO to the last Ukrainian.

Now I know you don’t have a TV

The Javelin had been the most successful weapon in the warfare. Do you know how many Russian tanks it took out?

Can’t you see Russia was only able to parade ONE military tank in its last parade. The Javelin already fried the rest

I have taken time to monitor the Russia/Ukraine war. And it is so bad that propaganda has been made to look like a special tool for use in seeking political office. However, I have identified certain similarities and they are no more surprising. The western media establishments are guilty in this respect and some foolish Nigerians are dishonourable members of their cabal.
1. They made the West and the US to look like saints, whereas they are the real devils sane minds should start now to be avoiding. Exactly the same way they made Tinubu and his bandwagon of thieves their benefactors, who are now gearing ready to spit on the misery of their frustrated acolytes.
2. They underestimated Russia, denouncing her prowess, while giving credence to nothingness. They said it of Obi and Labour Party, using words they are now scared of. They said Labour Party is structureless, social-media platform, and cannot elicit enough votes, and that Obi has no political weight or electoral value to shake the polity.
3. They taunted Russia, saying she is not able to overwhelm Ukraine as she had proclaimed she would. It is on record that Russia is not fighting Ukraine alone, but much of Europe, UK, US, and some NATO-affiliate belligerent countries. Just like they fabricated a lie to make it look like Obi is fighting a lone battle for him alone. The sole truth is that Obi is fighting so many battles just to ensure that Nigerians are truly emancipated.
The truth is finally out there. So go and search for it and make the electoral rigger and mandate thief a sorry loser, because if it is BAD, it's BAD, but if it's a BAT, it is so very, very BAD.
