Europe's ancient history is palpable in its architecture. Walking through the street of Torun, I felt the weight of history in the 800-year-old cathedral, the leaning tower, the fortress, Copernicus's house, and more. These landmarks bring the city to life. It's heartbreaking to think that war can destroy a thousand years of effort in an instant. Ukraine's situation is indeed a pity.

To those saying Russia is weak, could not defeat Ukraine. How many Russian cities look like these since the war began?

Now that Ukraine attacked Russia air bases and destroyed a lots of fighter jets. The war will become serious again.

Russia deliberately slowed down the war because because Eastern Ukraine occupied by Russia speakers has been taken from Ukraine. Also to stop millions of Ukrainian refugees continued influx to western Europe and US.

Ukrainian cities completely destroyed by the russian army
War

Which cities in Ukraine were completely destroyed by the russians?

Mariupol (Donetsk region)
Volnovakha (Donetsk region)
Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region)
Maryinka (Donetsk region)
Soledar (Donetsk region)

According to estimates, as of the beginning of 2023, the russian army has launched about 5,000 missiles and 3,500 air strikes against Ukraine. Almost 1000 more strikes using kamikaze drones. These figures do not include shelling from artillery and multiple launch rocket systems.

Which cities in Ukraine were completely destroyed by the russians?

Settlements in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Sumy,
I guess the narrative suits what you wanted. Do you know how many Russian soldiers, North Korean Soldiers that have been killed by the Ukrainians? They halt the ground invasion and focused on the aerial battle which obviously Ukraine isn't a match. I hope you found joy.

Why myst nuclear weapin be prohibuted ? Why do many of you talk as if you are brain dead. So a party most lethal erapon shoukd be prohibited for s less powerful one to win ?! Does that make sense to you or what is the essensce of the rubbish you write here ?!



franchasng:
Are you aware that at the start of the unprepared invasion, Ukraine didn't have up to 20 fighter jets and no missile or air defense system at all because they were busy honoring the agreement they signed with Russia during the disintegration of USSR?


Are you also aware that Ukraine use to own nuclear weapon but it was decommissioned and handed to Russia as part of a peace deal supervised by the US after USSR disintegration?


Russia is a weak nation when you compare how many years of military experience and weapon gathering they have compared to Ukraine.


Most of the USSR military weapons were inherited by Russia.


With Russia's abysmal performance in the war with Ukraine, if Russia face Israel, it will be a tough war and if Russia face Germany, the war will most likely end in draw, and if Russia face USA, Russia will be leveled in less than 6 months if both countries are prevented from using nuclear weapon.



Russia is not as powerful as the whole world use to believe in the past before the invasion of Ukraine.


China will defeat Russia before December if they face it off.



Russia cannot have a field day with any other major European country the way it had with Ukraine if nuclear weapon is prohibited

This is devastating
during Joe Biden time and other countries persuaded Ukraine to focus more on fighting Russia within Ukraine than on Russia soil. Hence the one in a while strike on Russia soil. If Ukraine were allowed Russia could have experienced such too

This is the reason why some certain kind of people should never be given power, now see the result. The destruction and annihilation of a weak state by killing its citizens children and women and men with the elderly just to prove that a state is powerful as if it can totally erase the other human beings that God made and cherishes. What do you think the Almighty in Heaven who made all creation and owns it would do to such inhuman wicked souls? And to those who are itching in their pants and scratching their heads believing they are invincible and that the Way of Peace is for half hearted people that they prefer war, they should just take a look at the level of human and material destruction wrought on Ukraine. Its quite unfortunate.
Alas this shouldn't come from someone that believed Israel has the right to exterminate an unarmed Palestinians because of a scripted hamas terrorists.

And he agreed that North Korea and china help them to conquer some cities in Ukraine

Russia is still winning the war and gaining territories. Ukraine can't win this war, not now or ever. No matter how many years it takes.

Russia is grinding Ukraine slowly and steady. Russia is not even using their main Arsenal. That ones are reserved for US/NATO.

Russia will not use full force on Ukraine because they see Ukraine as brothers. Thats why Putin is very lenient on Ukraine. He has not use the full power of Russia military might on Ukraine.[/quote]

Yes and true, but please even though conflict is conflict and we are to de escalate no matter what to avoid civilian deaths but the reasons are quite different. For example i was on my laptop on the 7th of October in the morning when i saw a news flash from Aljazeera that an attack was launched by Hamas into Israel, in fact i saw the party goers running for their dear lives and the sound of gunshots in the air. I was even hoping it would be an isolated incident of a lone wolf terrorist attack but alas it was a full scale attack!! I even saw Israeli soldiers pulled out of their tank at the border and humiliated before am sure they were killed. Latter the grim figures began to rise from 20, 70, 150, 300 then 1000 plus. So that was a military incursion into a legitimate recognized state! What do we expect, they will defend themselves!! Now they have this doctrine of uneven collateral damage and that is another topic so that they can deter future attacks but you cannot expect a state to just fold its arms and see its citizens massacred jut like that as if it were Naija.... Ukraine never militarily attacked Russia...in the first instance...

Better to act this way than to keep looking before BRITAIN FRANCE AND USA makes another Libya out of Russia.
What benefit does NATO serve Humanity if not Destruction of Life and Mockery of NATURE BALANCE GLOBALLY? Abi is it only one Cardinal point we have in the world?
Sir NATO does not seek to turn Russian into a wasteland or lawless place, what would they gain? They seek peace prosperity cooperation and progress. It is all propaganda sir. Look at (NATO) their culture and way of life. It is all about liberty, peace, humanity and progress. They colonized us and tried to teach us their ways customs which is what we are now trying to emulate. So i kindly disagree that it is about making Russia to become a failed state no please instead they want to strengthen democratic structures and ensure the citizens enjoy freedom so we can all do business and create more wealth and enjoy to the fullest. What happened in Libya was not the work of European nations under NATO. Democratic structures that will ensure critical and homicidal decisions such as what Vladimir Putin is doing are not done except by the decision of majority of all the people not one human being...the late great charismatic leader Maumar Ghadaffi had created enemies within Libya by assassinating political rivals and showing favour to loyal tribes. Those tribes that were not treated well are the ones now fighting the loyal ones. We need to go to the root of issues in order to give lasting solutions...

They would argue that the fault is from the West for not honoring an agreement that it signed with USSR blah blah blah.
Assuming the West did not honor any agreement for which i am even just hearing this for the first time, is this the way to go? Wiping out a generation of families and loved ones just because an agreement was not signed? Is it rational is it common sense even though common sense is not common my people haba...check it...so it is all to just prove that they have the wherewithal or capacity to destroy because God allowed them to have thee weapons of mass destruction and because God left them healthy, instead of creating wealth and helping poor nations and give leadership to the world, they chose to destroy it and in an animalistic manner with hatred as their sole aim. this is why countries like America whose foundation is rooted in Liberty and Freedom created the United Nations formerly known as League of Nations. So that such human beings, not Russia because my people i tell you the truth average Russians are not happy with all of this, should not come and assume and display their demon and satanic side to the world and to the Creator with such arrogance as if they were above the Law of the Creator. They are losing or have lost thousands of their children husbands and it was not a war they chose but a few people who have been given power to hold. It does not make sense. they will regret it by the grace of God all the lives innocently cut short...i weep for all victims or such circumstances...

It's obvious you know nothing about Russia and Ukraine and the geopolitics and sociocultural attachment surrounding that area.
Both countries are cut from the same cloth. Both are ethnically the same people.
It's like a little bro fighting big bro.
Little bro will give it all it's got and big bro will just be taking it..once a while inflicting a slap or two.
There's nothing in Ukraine's arsenal that could inflict enormous damage to Russia even borrowed weapons from US/NATO.
Russia doesn't want a destroyed Ukraine, just a country not under the control of the US via NATO near it's border. Hence the light handed attacks towards Ukraine. You think if Putin really wanted to level Ukraine..it won't have done so years ago?
Only a fool dismisses Russia based on current conflict with Ukraine. You think they're like America that goes into obviously lesser powerful countries with full arms and ammunition?
How Russia fights Israel or Germany would be radically different in the way they would against Belarus or Ukraine.

And I advice you to return to the internet snd seek a neutral information of all that has happened to Palestinians prior to October 7 so you can be freed from partial reports. Moreso, highlighting AlJazeera for newsflash shows you have ignored the facts behind the truth due to a sectional brainwashed news reporting. How come is a special law for Israel when it comes to compliances? Preach peace, nit taking sides for religion has won over christians supporting genocides forgetting jews occupying arent christians

Boss i read from different news feeds so when i give an opinion its not biased in any way. While it is true that the Israeli Palestinian conflict has predated the 7th of October but the question is what means have the two sides employed to settle their differences? Is it peace or war(killing and hatred)? Even the United states with their gospel of Liberty and Freedom will unleash their own fury and hell on anyone (check unfortunately Hiroshima and Nagasaki) who threatens their sovereignty as long as violence is the means employed to test their might. So for those who live by the sword they shall due by the sword and the to be honest the stakes are not in the favor of the Palestinians at the moment or anyone who tries to use force. Yes the in the past a lot of wrong and grave injustices were committed by our forefathers but must we tow or follow them? What is God saying about peaceful coexistence and the ability to forbear injustices? If the Palestinians embrace peace i assure you their matter of statehood and land will all be addressed. However Ukraine never, like i said earlier, killed or committed violence against the so called Russian nation. Their only crime was that they were tending to be more pro West and their desire was to be part of NATO to further their economic progreess...so the two are not the same...whichever the Peace i mean is Peace the way God puts it is the way for any conflict if i may humbly advice ...how do you see?

Fake pictures, Russia is only good in killing civilians whereby Ukraine is degrading Russia military infrastructures, Russia is losing over a thousand military men every day, one third of their strategic nuclear bombers worth $7 billion dollars was destroyed by Ukraine with just $500 dollars Drone in one night, you guys are here praising a die horse Putin, a three days war as claim by Putin is now entering the fifth year, and some iiddioot in their mind still believe that Russia is winning.

That Russia is truly a weak state is not in doubt. For crying out loud, Russia now depends on Iran, north Korea and China for missiles, drones and ammunition. Russia is using tanks from World War 2 in Ukraine. It relies on donkeys and motorcycles to carry supplies to the front. Russia loses over 900 soldiers each day this war goes on.

Nothing typifies weakness like having an entire arm of your nuclear triad blown up right in your own country. Nothing shows weakness like having the flagship of your navy, the Moscova, blown up and destroyed by a country without a navy. Russia's entire black sea fleet cannot leave the ports where they are hiding because Ukraine will make mincemeat of them.


Yes, Russia plans to win by mere attrition. Pouring men into the meat grinder. A tactic they've used since world war 1. In WW2, during the battle of Stalingrad, Russia sent countless waves of men against the Germans, most of them unarmed. The Germans fired their machine guns in a mad killing spree until their guns started overheating and melting. That's how Russia was able to defeat Germany but after losing 24 million men.

Ukraine can't afford to keep losing men and as such will be smart and strategic in their operation. This is going to 5 years now. Ukraine is still standing. All Russia has achieved is that it has shown the West and China that Russia is less than a paper tiger.

See isreal once faught 7 countries combined including this weak Russia ...they defeated these countries with their own indigenous weapons....isreal to me remains the most powerful nation on earth ........
Lolzzz....today is June 15th and Persia is raining hell on Tel-Aviv and it is beginning to look like Gaza. Netanyahu has fled to Greece and Israel is being saved and by US, UK, France and a host of others. He is still insisting that US must join the war.

You lost me immediately you said Isreal will tear up Russia cheesy cheesy . War is not fought by emotions but reality. Have I not been justified for saying Israel is an apartheid state that needs the support of its big daddies before doing anything?

You might be much older than me in age, but when it comes to geo-politics and international relations, your ignorance comes to the fore. Kindly update your knowledge in real-time, please.
