With all the western media outlets declaring that Russia has all but been defeated, I’m wondering if the situation is really all that grim over there. Are the Ukranazis really winning?

    Ok so I had question. Didn’t this push take like, everything Ukraine got? Like it’s their last ditch effort to have a big win? So if Russia is able to push back or set up a defense and stop it, it could potentially be the last win of Ukraine if enough of their forces get taken out? I honestly don’t know I just remembered hearing ppl talking about how this was gonna be the big push as they rally everything they’ve got?

      It seems like it took a lot of time and effort for them to pull together enough actually trained combat troops for this offensive, along with pulling together the equipment, both ex-Soviet and western. Supposedly their previous actions mostly made use of raw conscripts thrown in waves. While they reportedly have taken a lot of losses, it’s way too early to call it ‘it’ for them, a lot more Nazis still out there to kill.

      I’ve stopped reading telegram for a bit cause it was just making me depressed all the doomscrolling, but last I saw was that Russia was still trying to set up new defensive lines and it was too early to say they’d put a stop to it. War conducted with the internet reporting every tiny thing has been a disaster for the human race, and for my mental health at least.
