    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    KHARKIV, Ukraine — Russia’s new offensive across Ukraine’s northeastern border had been expected for months — yet it still surprised the Ukrainian soldiers stationed there to defend against it.

    Ukraine’s 125th Territorial Defense Brigade — stretched thin along a roughly 27-mile stretch of the Kharkiv region’s border with Russia — used reconnaissance drones to monitor, daily, how Moscow was steadily building up forces for a possible attack.

    But the morning it happened, May 10, the brigade lost all its video feeds due to Russian electronic jamming.

    Why does Putin want so many dead Russians? It’s disgusting. He should stop now to save lives.

      He spent 8 years trying to negotiate for peace in good faith with people (Merkel and Hollande) who later admitted that they had none. They only wanted war.

          America loves dead Ukrainians. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have given weapons to literal Nazis in the 20-teens.

          See how stupid that ‘logic’ is?

            The US did not give any money to Russia so your statement about Nazis makes no sense.

              The Ukraine is a fascist dictatorship with an ideology rooted in Banderite Nazism. You know this.

                Ukraine is a democracy so your entire premise is way off. Try again. Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.

                  The Ukraine hasn’t been a democracy since the Nazi overthrow. Democracies have elections.

                  Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.

                  You have no supporting argument for this or evidence.

              There were, and are, Washington Post and New York Times articles about this from before the latest unpleasantness made that an inconvenient truth to not acknowledge.

              Welcome to the real world where propaganda written by empires is literally “Who are you going to believe, Me or your lying eyes?”

                  To Ukrainian Neo-nazi orgs like Right Sector and the Azov Battlion.

          He liberated Crimea in 2014 after the Nazis took power. The Crimean people welcomed and wanted to be part of Russia.

            LOL

            Sure. Just like when the US flooded Tejas with Americans and then the US helped liberate Texas from Mexico. Liberation through imperialism is not real liberation. Don’t be so naive.

                Same went for “Texans.” When you displace the local population and move in your people, you tend to get pretty high approval ratings.

                  What population was displaced in Crimea leading up to the Russian invasion in 2014?
