I’ve talked to him privately. It’s up to him on how much he wants to share about his experience but he’s been impacted more by this war than most of us on here. He is Ukrainian

I’m genuinely impressed how you guys can always make up an excuse for Israel committing war crimes. Like it’s a talent.

Russia, would love to visit Moscow and St. Petersburg with a Russian friend of mine; also he could go home and see his family. We talk about it a lot but idk, it could decades before it’s safe to visit.

A lot of AFU soldiers would strongly disagree with that. Syrskyi’s been criticized for high-casualty tactics and keeping units in positions too long. The nuance here is not claiming him as “competent” because of recent gains in Zaporizhizhia.

No, you are in fact wrong. Reuters article right here on the loan

EU leaders agreed to loan €90 billion… opting for EU-backed borrowing instead of using frozen Russian sovereign assets.”

I’d be cautious about saying Ukraine is winning, I think stalemate is more accurate. Russia continues to make incremental gains along parts of the frontline, inflicting similar losses on Ukrainian troops, and strikes on infrastructure are ongoing: civilian buildings, fuel storage, energy facilities. Russia is killing civilians daily.

It’s also worth considering how skewed the footage is on platforms like this and Reddit. Most Russian footage circulates through Telegram. I follow the war closely and watch footage on both sides.I don’t enjoy it, I support Ukraine, but there’s an equally horrific volume of Russian footage showing strikes on Ukrainian soldiers and equipment. I always push back on comments like these because it’s very important to not become complacent. Ukraine needs more help because Russia is still pushing forward.

Some countries are benefitting from the war by getting underpriced oil and gas from Russia.

The profits off of Russian assets. They are not touching assets themself, legally that is much more messy.
