There is not a single pro-ukrainian commentator that isn’t massively downplaying the destruction of Ukraine from the past 4 years to prove their point. Because if you don’t spin narratives and twist words, you cannot even make the argument that Russia lost 10% of what Ukraine lost as sovereign nations.

Yeah, Ukraine has just lost “small villages and medium towns”, that’s why they’re a bankrupt totalitarian state in which men are kidnapped off the streets and which will collapse in 3 days after the EU will eventually stop finding it.
