But buying from the source / where they're made is really appealing. I swear there's a supermodel on every corner in Kyiv. Too bad the putz to the east is denying us our God given right to seek it out.Totally agree with this, service is always better on their own territory, and in Kyiv they are just ridiculously hot. It's a pleasure just walking around the city, so many beautiful women everywhere.

LOL, as a true 'nostradamus' I'll say this.

While the West seems to be tired and in disarray right now, the last quarter of 2024 will break this pattern. Trump and the Reps (the last Putin's hope) will lose miserably, the military aid to Ukraine will resume in spades, and not only will the Third Rome (or Fourth Reich, as some would call it more accurately) eventually return to the borders of 1991 -- it'll start devouring itself from the inside until it finally shrinks into a much smaller (and hopefully more peaceful) normally-sized country.

Till then, Ukraine must hold on, since you're absolutely right -- they don't have another choice.So the first part (resumption of the US military aid) has almost come true, much earlier than I anticipated.

And the last 6 months have proved that Ukraine can stand on its own even with Russia's artillery advantage of 6-10 to 1, denying the aggressor any significant gains and making them pay in tens of thousands of dead and crippled Russian solders for every village and township they've managed to "conquer" so far.

In the meantime, Ukraine keeps destroying the Russian Navy and hitting military targets and fuel refineries deep inside Russia reducing aggressor's economic means needed to finance the war.

The age of empires is gone.

Russia has historically been willing to absorb tremendous casualties for political causes. What Mr Putin doesn't understand is this isn't history, this is today. The generation fighting are accustomed to the internet, free thought, and personal freedoms the previous generations (including his) were not. He's only in control because he has a very effective propaganda machine and still has enough following at the lower levels of local government to stiffel any amount of social disorder.

The aid will not end the war. The aid will slow the Russians down tremendously but the end will only come when the will of NATO to prop-up Ukraine fades or when Putin is gone. As an American I'm sad to say the issue has become more political than pragmatic and is being held hostage by a small number of legislators with very big mouths. The fact of the matter is at least 1/3 of the money we spend to support Ukraine is directly funding production of weapons in our massive defense industrial complex so it's basically going right back into our economy in the form of wages and taxes. There isn't an intelligent legislator that would fight that (unfortunately there are plenty of unintelligent legislators).

Having been all over Ukraine and seen the contrast between a very Ukrainian city like Lviv (where you never hear Russian being spoken) and a resort town like Odessa (where Russian is spoken out in the open everywhere, at least before the war). I think I can say they're just as stubborn as the Russians, have proven themselves resourceful and ingenious with what they have, and employ clever tactics. Add that to fact that they are fighting for their very existence I think they have a very good chance of ending this with their heads held high. At a minimum, Russia will never control Ukrainian territory. Partisans will run a gorilla war against them for decades with plenty of help from the CIA using its black budgets that don't get scrutinized like everything else that goes through congress. If Ukraine "looses" Russia will have created Afghanistan for themselves all over again which is sad because Putin was alive for that Russian nightmare and there will be a lot of young hot slavs that get killed which breaks my heart.

This is ISG after all.

What the Economist and other intellectuals fail to understand is that Putin can't keep it up indefinitely. He's already spending over 40% of Russia's entire budget on waging his war of choice. America and the West have the money. He, on the other hand, will spend his way into oblivion.

This is ISG after all.Great analyses. I'd only argue that the Ukrainians are more stubborn than the Russians, maybe because unlike the Russians, they're defending their homeland. The Russians are forced into relentless waves of what they call "meat assaults" by their commanders, and the only reason they keep fighting is because they're scared of their own bosses more than they are of the Ukrainians (and for a good reason too).

Ukrainians fighting for these existence is definitely a huge plus for them. We need to be clear though. Ethnic "Russians" aren't dying enmass (unless you want to talk about the prisoners they let out to be cannon fodder). It's the tartars and other poor central Asian "Russians" that are being ground into meat. If they were plucking kids from Moscow or St Petersburg and sending them to the front, even Putin wouldn't survive the backlash.

Ukraine is outmanned for sure but the gorilla war they will rage if they lose conventionaly with send the Russians back to Moscow just like the Afghan tribes did in the 80's (with our help, BTW). They can't win over time. Putin didn't learn a damn thing.

Every regional head has their quotas, and they don't have a 'luxury' to draft 'non-Russians" only. The only Putin's ally who doesn't have to pull his weight in terms of the quotas is Chechnya's Kadyrov due to his special relationship with the boss.

Also, I must say I'm a little more optimistic. I don't think Putin has a chance to make such substantial territorial gains that the gorilla war will become the only option for resistance. He's bound to run out of time and man power despite the propaganda and poker face.

Nobody is going to change anyone's mind but are you guys not aware of history? Our Vietnam, their Afghanistan. Far superior forces lost a war of attrition to a much less powerful force over the course of a decade. Russia went in to support a soviet friendly government that was largely unpopular, the only difference between then and now is the the Ukrainians already threw out the Russian friendly government. Guess what happens in about 10 years from now? Putin will be dead, do you think the next guy wants this headache, that he didn't start? I believe putin was driving a cab around the time the afghan war was winding down so maybe he didn't have the time to grab a newspaper and learn something. Then again the info was all state controlled so maybe I can't blame him for being ignorant here.

I generally agree that it will be very difficult if not impossible for Ukraine to get any of the seized land back and I doubt very seriously that it can be done militarily but it is absolutely possible politically. As Ukrainian special forces establish guerilla tactics on land, the Russians will get tired of dying over time. They have already, very successfully, rendered the black sea fleet useless. Why couldn't they do the same on the ground? When you're fighting for your very existence you can do a lot more than the side that has no idea why it's there. The CIA thrives in proping up local governments in situations like this. The Ukrainians will get all they need to make Russians in the occupied territory miserable for as long as they want.

In complete denial.What I find astonishing that a lot of Pro Ukrainian folks still don't get some very basic things:

The collective west is interested in PUNISHING and hurting Russia, NOT in helping Ukraine win. Hell, Lloyd Austin said this in 2022, that America wanted to weaken Russia, he said nothing about Ukraine winning.

This is about feeding the military industrial complex using Ukrainians as cannon fodder. The western leaders have said so many times, shamelessly, that is is Ukrainians dying, not their people. These people are sick.

Ukraine CANNOT win this. They are out of manpower. The collective west doesn't have the weapons in the quantity that Ukraine needs, nor can they produce them in the amount that Ukraine needs. The longer this goes on, the more territory Ukraine will lose, and another generation of men will die for nothing. For Gods sake, talk peace for once.

It takes 2-3 years for intelligence services to do their own various assessments before they start funneling actionable tactical support. Up to now it's only been strategic. Give it another 6-12 months.

Ukraine just can't win this war. It's running out of manpower. Just look at Ukraine's demographic chart. There are pretty much no military age men left. The US can throw as much billions of military aid they want, but the Abrahams and F16's aren't going to drive themselves. It will just prolong the pain and suffering before the inevitable defeat.

Ukraine should have taken the deal in 2022.

So his stated goal of removing nazis and being laughed out of bucha in the first few months were a dream of mine? I'm not pro anything, I'm looking at facts and correcting ignorance. How are removing the "nazi regime" and proping up a pro soviet government in Kabul different?

I can't wait to hear this answer.

He's only interested in what he's interested in now because his army turned out to be a paper tiger and he can only hope to hold these areas as he hasn't a prayer of taking the rest.

One of the things that came with my erectile dysfunction is age, experience, and living though a significant amount of history. Pick almost any conflict in history that ended in a war of attrition and I'll show you an aggressor that lost. If you don't understand this I can't help you.You do not seem to be aware of the reasons why Putin launched the SMO. Before I list them, I just want to state that I really do not have a horse in this race. I'm neither Russian or Ukrainian. I am commenting purely from a neutral perspective, after getting fully aware of the facts because the western mainstream media is pure evil that just lies.

The reasons for launching the SMO were:

1. To force neutrality from Ukraine and it never joining NATO, which is an existential threat for Russia. Almost worked, the Ukrainians were ready to accept neutrality and say no to NATO in Istanbul 2022 until the collective west (Boris Johnson sabotaged it).

2. Denazification.

3. Demilitrization.

4. Guarantees for the safety and autonomy to the Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine, and in particular in the Donbas.

So the above are the main reasons for the SMO. I hope you see how this scenario is different from Afghanistan in 1979, which was indeed a mistake and the Russians had no business being there and they paid a price with their defeat, just like the Americans did almost 22 years later.

If his army is a paper tiger, then why did the NATO backed and armed Ukrainian army fail miserably in the counter offensive in 2023? They only took 1 village, think about it, and lost tens of thousands of NATO trained men and billions of dollars of equipment.

We will see how much more territory the Russians take. The longer this goes on, the more territory the Ukrainians will lose and the more Ukrainian men will die needlessly and the worse deal they will get. There are clear signs of a potntial Ukrainian collapse on the frontline in the coming weeks and months.

I have nothing against Ukraine or Ukrainians. As a matter of fact, I have met some very decent and kind Ukrainians, men and women. My GP in Sydney is a Ukrainian, an amazing man. I'm neutral in this. I'm calling for a ceasefire to stop the killing and this madness. This war should NEVER have happened. I blame the collective west for taking Ukraine down the primrose path with false promises of joining NATO and the EU, only and only to make Russia bleed. These people are pure evil (The collective west), may God punish them one day. God bless the Ukrainian people.

What a joke.

There were talks, yes, and unacceptable demands from Russian side: I. E. Only 85.000 Ukrainian soldiers to be kept (De-militarization). To make it easier for Putler, to invade later on.

Not to forget, that Putler already broke the non-agression agreement against UA, from Budapest 1994.

Unfortunately, at that time UA trusted Russia, and gave up their nuclear weapons, last not least because of this non-agression agreement.

The talks of Istanbul also mentioned security guarantees, from Western Countries, and Russia. How to fulfill? Western countries do not and did not want to take direct action against Russia in case of aggression.

A partial justice would be if Russia withdrew to the internationally recognized borders, to which it is a guarantor, detained all persons accused of war crimes or waging a war of aggression and remanded them to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, and began to pay reparations to Ukraine for damaged caused by its illegal actions.

However, in the short term, I believe that the Crimean peninsula is strategically untenable. I hope and expect that with the arrival of F-16's and longer range munitions, Ukraine will finally be able to advance through Melitopol and sever the land bridge to Russia, forcing the evacuation and surrender of Crimea.

Not to mention the failed promise of 1 Mio artillery shells. I am not a big fan of the US, but as a German engineer, I know, that the Americans can be VERY FAST to build up industrial facilities.

In case they really want. Production of shells is not too complicated a process.

The West simply cheated UA. To break up UA, part to the West (Poland?) part to Putler?For the "collective West" (as Russian shills cordially call all of us) this is a process. In democratic countries, helping others with anything, finances or munitions takes time and torturous debates and discussions. I too would've been much happier if this had been done in a jiffy, but the "collective West" is not a bunch of Putinstans where everything and everyone bends to the whim of one person. In the US specifically, the military aid had been held hostage to our internal politics, not even mentioning the little fact that Nato (go figure!) just doesn't make enough armaments for a big war.

This is unfortunate, but it is what it is. What are you going to do, as they say here in Brooklyn.

There hasn't been any menace in the West dragging its feet. Stupidity, cowardice, greed -- yes. Malice -- no. Your interpretation of the West's intentions is simply way off.

JC you and Xman are smoking the same crap. The war is over, it has been over for several monthsYeah, and the bullshit reason we were given was to weaken Russia. It was just pols handing money to defense contractors who handed it back to them in the form of donations.


the only thing that would save Ukraine if the states and NATO decided to send 100,000's of troops.And that is another reason to vote Trump. Biden said he wanted that and is crazy enough to do it. To quote a famous general:

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

I cannot believe how much fucking debt we racked up in the Iraq war for oil and what mattered to get more oil was not an invasion but to refine a drilling technique. The war on Covid cost like $10 trillion and now you got this one which ironically is mild in comparison. WTF did we get for all that money spent? Anything?

That is the thing with Democratic douches. They have no concept of how much things cost.

Chime in the Democratic douche who says, "Iraq was a Republican war. " Yeah, no shit, so why is this one any better?

And now the douches will say, it was an unprovoked attack on a sovereign country. Please. It was a provoked attack and everyone with even a speck of knowledge knows it.

He realizes that if he did that it would mean a possible nuclear showdown with Russia, which no one wants. Is he being reckless in provoking Russia? Of course. But NATO or the collective west won't get involved by putting their soldiers on the ground or even enforcing some sort of no-fly zone. Macron is talking out of his ass and full of shit. The collective west is happy to fund Ukraine, they have plenty of money to throw away it seems. And they are happy to supply enough weapons to Ukraine, so Ukraine doesn't win or doesn't collapse quickly either. The aim is to make Russia bleed and weak, until the last Ukrainian.

UA is the remake of the first Gulfwar, when Saddam went to pick up his stolen money from a US / UK pipeline, that was running from Kuwait into Iraq.

How many US biolabs in the UA? Since when? By whom? How maintained? For what purpose? You know the answer as much as I do.

$5 M mobster Joe & Co. + BURISMA, including member of the US Congress. , wasn't enough, he had to fire a native prosecutor from his own court, and add to it $1 B from the USAID to a rogue general.

Then, the pipeline made to destroy Germany's economy.

Your Bidet has done it all, has much as letting fly Gaza because he is on his way out, this guy has 5 years to live. The Jew knew, and grabbed the opportunity. This attack was announced and demonstrated during 2 long years before it happened. Conveniently, that day, all forces public and private, were concentrated in one location facing Jordana.

Still up in 2017, a website described in a chronological order all discrepancies in regard to Joe's first wife, and child deadly accident. Super Pedo is well organized.

Here is what Biden said: President Biden told US troops in Poland Friday that they will witness the bravery of Ukrainians fighting off Russia's invasion "when you're there" making a significant gaffe after he previously said the US must stay out of the European conflict to avoid triggering "World War III."

Biden made the remark while addressing members of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division after lunching on pizza and posing for selfies with dozens of paratroopers at a mess hall in Rzeszow, southeastern Poland.

"You're going to see when you're there, and some of you have been there, you're going to see you're going to see women, young people standing in the middle in front of a damned tank just saying, 'I'm not leaving, I'm holding my ground, Biden said.

A White House official quickly clarified that Biden wasn't changing his stance on deploying the military into Ukraine.

"The president has been clear we are not sending US troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position," a Biden spokesman told The Post.

Biden also said that there was no way we should let Putin stay in power.

These were written off as Biden gaffes, but neither sounded like gaffes to me. I think Biden wants US troops in Ukraine and regime change in Russia. I think his administration has told Biden it would be a horrible move and advised against it. Thank God.

Biden is a fucking bully. Always has been. Always will be. All these fucking trials with Trump are made out to not be Biden, but it is him. And it is the same thing when he had a SWAT team invade Trump's house. He played like he was in the dark with it but it came out later that was his brain child too.

The Russian army is a joke. Incredibly corrupt, incompetent, undisciplined with soldiers charging against machine guns, drones and mines either drunk or high out of their minds. Their war strategy is a succession of primitive meat assaults. That's probably how cavemen fought thousands of years ago. Every day of fighting in Ukraine takes about 1500 orcs out of commission.

Russian military hardware (whatever's left of it) is MOSTLY a joke. And there isn't much left. They're storming well equipped Ukrainian positions with 1950 BTRs and rely on Iranian drones and outdated and often faulty North Korean munitions.

When I was in the former USSR, the Soviets thought they understood Americans but I felt they did so to a rigid point where we were given beef with literally every meal.

American propaganda is so much better. The only place Russian propaganda took hold was in universities and communism / socialism was a great excuse for why those intelligent professors were not more wealthy and powerful than they were. It was and is fertile ground for socialism.

When the counter offensive started, the MINIMUM goal was to reach Tokmak. They moved in the direction of Tokmak but were stopped after they captured Robotyne. Now of course while moving on to Robotyne, they captured the land that comes before it. But they didn't even reach Tokmak. The only village / territory they really captured was Robotyne, even the western mainstream media admits that.

Are you disputing that the counter offensive was a colossal failure, and that the AFU were sent on a suicide mission with no aircover?Oh, yes I do. Setback -- yes. Disappointment -- definitely. Colossal failure? Give me a break.

- Putin's failure to capture Kyiv or even Kharkiv in 2022 -- that's a colossal failure.

- The decimation of the Black Sea fleet (by a country that doesn't have a Navy, LOL) -- that's a colossal failure and funny one too.

- Fleeing for their dear lives from Kharkiv and Kherson regions in 2022 -- that's 2 colossal failures.

- Putin's fleeing from Moscow during the Prigozhin mutiny -- that's one colossal and truly hilarious failure.

Compared to these truly colossal failures, the AFU inability to meet the declared goals of the 2023 counter offensive is a very "middle-of-the-road" failure, unpleasant, but limited in its consequences, which doesn't get anywhere close to "colossal". You need to work harder on your vocabulary.

Then of course, there is your own failure to directly answer my question:


Please indicate: a) where the article states that Ukraine only "captured 1 village" or b) what brought you to the conclusion (based on the above article) that it captures only 1 village.Since you simply make things up as you go along, allow me to educate you. Here is a list of settlements liberated by AFU during the 2023 counter offensives.

Robotyne, Pyatikhatky, Rivne, Novodarivka, Neskuchne, Blahodatne, Storozhove, Makarivka, Staromayorske, Andriivka, Klishchiyivka; town Urozhayne.

A little more than "1 village", isn't it?

More and more countries have allowed UA to use munitions on Russian soil. In addition there are huge economic problems with Gazprom amongst others which is affecting the war chest. The pivot to Asia delivery from Europe has been a complete failure, whilst "The Power of Siberia 2" pipeline is paused while Xi negotiates better terms with Putler.

Whilst Z team has manpower in droves, it doesn't have lasting economic power.

When Putler broke his LTS contracts in Europe, all the potential customers watched, in the same way they watched when the US seized funds.

Z team is an unreliable partner, which makes the terms for their contracts much more lopsided towards the customer.

This war will continue for a few more years, and the economic collapse in Z land will come before the capitulation of Ukraine and their European partners.

They only reached up to Robotyne, a tiny village to much fanfare. They didn't even reach Tokmak!

- Putin's failure to capture Kyiv or even Kharkiv in 2022 -- that's a colossal failure.He never tried to capture Kiev or Kharkov for that matter, he didn't have enough troops. You don't have a military background so you don't understand these things, you just believe whatever the pathetic mainstream western media you jerk off to tells you. They told you this 'Kiev in 3 days' narrative and you ran with it. The purpose of the initial invasion was to put pressure on Ukraine and make them realize how serious Russia was and to force them to negotiate, which they did and accepted neutrality in Istanbul in 2022 March until Boris Johnson and USA told Elensky to ditch the talks.



- The decimation of the Black Sea fleet (by a country that doesn't have a Navy, LOL) -- that's a colossal failure and funny one too.Yes, Russia has suffered losses there. Decimation? Nope.




- Fleeing for their dear lives from Kharkiv and Kherson regions in 2022 -- that's 2 colossal failures.See my above post regarding Kiev. Regarding Kharkov and Kherson, once again you do not have a military background and do not understand battle so let me school you again little man. Russia made a TACTICAL withdrawal from Kherson and Kharkov because they did not have enough troops on the ground at that time.



- Putin's fleeing from Moscow during the Prigozhin mutiny -- that's one colossal and truly hilarious failure.And what was the end result? Nothing, just made Putin stronger and a huge disappointment for the collective west.

As for the losses, let's be honest here. NO ONE knows for sure how many casualties each side has suffered, but in my view, the losses suffered by AFU are much higher. Even if we say both sides have suffered equal or the Russians more, you have to keep in mind that Russia can replace the soldiers due to the fact that they have 3 x the population compared to Ukraine. Ukraine cannot replace the manpower now. It is simple math if you can be objective and look at the reality.

This cannot go on for a long time. Ukraine is out of manpower. Even if you give them all the weapons they are asking for, who is going to operate them? Unless NATO gets involved on the ground, which is not going to happen. Ukraine is doomed. I say that with no happiness. I'm NOT a Russian. I don't have a horse in this race.

Nothing you write makes sense, maybe the Russian ChatGPT needs fine tuning. If you have numbers and a source share them, otherwise keep this nonsensical cod-wash to yourself.Actually this does make sense. This is a Russian "imperialist" accidentally telling us what he really thinks.

Clearly, Ukraine owes Questner a debt. A big one.

But the thing is, it doesn't end with Ukraine. Every former Russian / Soviet colony owes Questner a debt. Kazakhstan, Armenia, Moldova, you name it.

Then there are the Baltics. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were always a bit different. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that they've been trying to get as far away from their creditor as humanly possible. Ingrates!

And don't get me started on Eastern Europe, especially the Poles who too seem to owe a hell of a debt to Questners, more than anyone else, (after Ukraine and the Baltics), of course.

But that doesn't mean the rest of the world is safe. Like Questner's chieftan once said: "Russia's borders don't end anywhere".

That's a literal quote, by the way. I'm not making this up.

How are Questners collecting debts? Very simply, really. Think of Mariupol, the city that doesn't exist anymore where tens of thousands of dead civilians are lying in mass graves or under the rubbles and new, hastily erected buildings. First bombs, then bulldozers. No efforts are spared to make the identification of human remains impossible.

That's the fate of every Ukrainian city if they allow Questners to freeze this war, so they could catch a break and grow new meat for their war grinders.

In fact, the Ukrainians don't really have a choice. They must fight to the bitter end or face the annihilation. The West must support Ukraine's heroic effort with all its might and stop telling them where they're allowed and not allowed to shoot.

The world must stop Questners from collecting their homicidal debts. It's really that simple.

Interesting that you mention the Russians collecting debts, according to a leading Russian economist, their own economy is undergoing a suicide. So their ability to pay their own debts, is something they really need to worry about.

Too much focus abroad and not enough focus on the needs of their own people.

But as you say, they live in a demented imperial mindset, whereby conquest seems like a better thing that providing basic 1950's level plumbing to the whole population.

As Mr. Lavrov recently stated as a perfect diplomat, The West started 'to vibrate', meaning 'to shiver' that is 'to fear'. Not only the few Western potential military targets were purposefully leaked in mass media (and we leak them too), but even countries. From 1 kt per airstrip to 75 kt to per base.

Orcs falsely claim victory in battle for Ukraine village that hasn't existed for 37 years.

The Russian Ministry of Defense fabricated the capture of two Ukrainian villages in Luhansk and Kharkiv oblasts.

The Orcs have once again lied about the seizure of several settlements, including one that has not existed for 37 years, Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group, said in a comment to LIGA.net.

On June 11, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a statement claiming that occupiers had taken control of the villages of Artemivka in the Luhansk Oblast and Tymkivka in the Kharkiv Oblast. Voloshyn said that the village of Tymkivka had been abolished in 1987. In addition, Artemivka was renamed Myasozharivka in 2016 as part of the decommunization process.

"Currently, Myasozharivka is under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces!" the spokesperson stated.

"I am pleased to welcome Argentina as a new member of the Contact Group. Mr. Petri, I am glad to have you with us. The stakes in this war are high.

Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF

An influential global body has forecast Russia's economy will grow faster than all of the world's advanced economies, including the US, this year.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects Russia to grow 3. 2% this year, significantly more than the UK, France and Germany.

Oil exports have "held steady" and government spending has "remained high" contributing to growth, the IMF said.

If you really want to know how the Russian economy is doing, you need to look at other factors, like satellite imagery of industrial production, energy consumption, etc that can be validated without Kremlin stats.

None of those metrics show growth of any kind, rather the opposite, which makes sense considering everything you see in terms of the flight from Russia of the youth and intelligentsia, as well the the effect of the sanctions.

Just look at the figures from GazProm, they are not good reading.

Four conditions for negotiations with Kiev: what Putin said at Foreign Ministry: Russia considers Ukraine's neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status and the lifting of all Western sanctions as a necessary condition - https://tass.com/politics/1803575 and https://tass.com/politics/1803657.

MOSCOW, June 14. / TASS /. Russia today makes another true peace proposal to Kiev, which envisages the recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian territories, the consolidation of Ukraine's non-aligned and nuclear-free status, its demilitarization and denazification, and the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with senior diplomats.

Today we are making another concrete, real peace proposal to Kiev, he said.

Putin went on to list Russia's terms for a settlement. As soon as Kiev agrees to these conditions, agrees to completely withdraw its troops from the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and actually launches this process, we are ready to start negotiations without delay. I repeat, our principled position is as follows: the neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status of Ukraine, its demilitarization and denazification. What's more, these parameters were generally agreed upon by everyone back during the Istanbul talks in 2022. Everything was clear regarding demilitarization, everything was spelled out, including the number of tanks, and everything was agreed upon. Of course, the rights and freedoms of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine must be fully ensured, the new territorial realities and the status of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian constituencies must be recognized. In the future, all these basic, principled provisions should be recorded in terms of fundamental international agreements, he said.

All Western sanctions imposed on Russia should also be abolished. Of course, this also means the lifting of all Western sanctions against Russia, the president said.

Putin emphasized that Russia's plan would mean ending the conflict once and for all, not freezing it. The essence of our proposal is not some kind of temporary truce or suspension of fire, as the West wants, in order to restore losses, rearm the Kiev regime, and prepare it for a new offensive. I repeat, we are not talking about freezing the conflict, but about bringing it to an end, the president said.

The Russian leader added that if Kiev and Western countries once again refuse Russia's offer, the settlement conditions will become stricter. If Kiev and Western capitals refuse it, as before, then, after all, this is their business, their political and moral responsibility to continue the bloodshed. Obviously, the realities on the ground, on the line of engagement will continue to change, and not in favor of the Kiev regime. The conditions for the start of negotiations will change, he clarified.

Meloni in the pink as she consoles procession of dead men walking.

Patrick Wintour.

Italian PM was all smiles at start of G7 summit as she met parade of haunted-looking statesmen, most of whose days in power are numbered.

Never has a host had so little in common with her guests. Standing serene in a salmon pink trouser suit having topped the poll in the European parliamentary elections, Italy's far-right leader, Giorgia Meloni, waited to greet her fellow G7 leaders. She stood on a small stage under an awning and an azure sky with the backdrop a suspiciously imported-looking olive tree, a pointless rustic water pipe and the brash G7 flags discreetly put to one side so they did not spoil the view's centrepiece – Meloni herself.

To her right was a large stone arch that acts as the entranceway to Borgo Egnazia, the purpose-built "medieval" holiday complex giving celebrities an authentic sense of Puglia's rural life, including a Michelin-starred restaurant, spas and wellness clinics.

In intervals of three or so minutes, haunted-looking world leaders one by one trooped through the arch to be greeted by their host. Hollowed and broken by the electoral battlefield, it was a parade of the living dead. They each received a consoling handshake and photograph with Meloni.

The suited statesmen bore the look of people who knew this was their last such summit, and who if they could would have skipped the opening session on Africa and migration and instead headed straight into the wellness clinic and locked the door.

One of the first through the arch of shame was Charles Michel, the outgoing European Council president reportedly plotting to prevent the commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, from being given a second term. The two top EU officials pointedly did not arrive together, and Meloni is said to be arbiter of von der Leyen's future. Michel was given the quickest of handshakes before being dispatched by the Italian prime minister to sign a pointless-looking piece of declaratory paper, a sort of G7 visitor's book. He looked as enthused as a man signing his own death warrant.

Next through the arch was Rishi Sunak, 21 days away from what may be the biggest Conservative party rout in history. At the last G7 summit, in Japan, Sunak had been the life and soul of the party, wearing the red socks of the Hiroshima baseball team, Toyo Carp. This year the socks were funeral black, and after his now notorious early departure from the-day commemorations in Normandy, his minder's only instruction will have been to stay right until the last glass has been washed and put away. Meloni, an insurgent in office, and Sunak, an incumbent, may be Eurosceptic buddies but are on very different glide paths.

Next through the arch came that great wordsmith, Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, still digesting a set of results in which his party scored 13.9%, a record low for the European parliament, faring worse than the scandal-ridden, far-right Alternative füare Deutschland.

No sooner was Meloni waving off Scholz than the Japanese prime minister, Fumio Kishida, arrived. Two days ago he will have discovered that his popularity had fallen to 21%, a record low. He faces the prospect of being thrown out by his own party in September, and as he was ushered away by Meloni to sign the G7 death warrant, she could have been thinking that here was one man she would not be seeing at the next G7 in Canada.

But if she had pity for Kishida, look who was next. Through the arch of shame came another lame duck, albeit a well-presented one, in the form of Justin Trudeau – blue suit, brown shoes, big smiles and a poll rating that is at a 50-year record low for his party, driven in part by opposition to his green policies. There again, most politicians are hated in Canada. He is widely expected to lose next year.

The next arrival was Emmanuel Macron, the gelignite still on his suit from just having blown up French politics, and in the process possibly destroyed his own party. In their brief exchange Meloni would have been looking for signs of residual sanity in a man recently driven mad by fighting populism. Given that Meloni, with her party's fascist roots, represents much of what he is trying to unmask and defeat in France, the exchange between the two was courteous.

And then, with one leader to go, there was a pause, followed by a further pause, and another one, as Meloni adopted an infinite variety of patient poses waiting for the president of the United States. As time passed, she inspected the water pipe, took a selfie with the photographers, motioned for a chair and even gave a disparaging glance at the nylon flags spoiling the authenticity of her venue.

Meloni may even have reflected on the fleeting nature of power, or on whether Joe Biden's driver had got lost in the medieval village. But then, 21 minutes late, the president arrived, wearing dark glasses and moving gingerly through the arch and on to the stage, a raw display of mortality.

Given the vastness of the G7 agenda over the next two days, and the collective power of the G7 economies, it was not an altogether reassuring opening passage. Perhaps the summit's first session should have been on politics.

As an alternative, the next step may bring forward a creation of a parallel Ukrainian government in Kharkov, which was a capital of Donbass in 1917 and later a capital of Ukraine from 1918 to 1934.

Let's bookmark this post and see how well it ages.Notice Putin didn't mention Kharkov and Odessa. Yet. He hinted at it by saying that the terms will become more difficult the longer this goes on.

At Istanbul 2022 it was just the Donbas and Crimea plus neutrality.

Putin is in no position to make demands of Ukraine for peace, US defense secretary says


BRUSSELS, June 14 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin is in no position to make demands on Ukraine to end the war, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Friday, as he touted Kyiv's military successes confronting Moscow's full-scale invasion.

Putin said earlier on Friday that Russia would end the war in Ukraine only if Kyiv agreed to drop its NATO ambitions, hand over the entirety of four provinces claimed by Moscow, and carry out a demilitarization.

"He is not in any position to dictate to Ukraine what they must do to bring about peace," Austin told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Russia controls nearly a fifth of Ukrainian territory in the third year of the war. Ukraine says peace can only be based on the full withdrawal of Russian forces and the restoration of its territorial integrity.

"He's had some hundreds of thousands of troops wounded and killed in this unjust and unprovoked invasion. He could end this today if he if he chose to do that. And we call upon him to do that and to leave Ukrainian sovereign territory," Austin said.

The timing of Putin's speech was clearly intended to preempt Ukraine's Swiss summit, billed as a "peace conference" despite Russia's exclusion, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy seeks a show of international support for Kyiv's terms to end the war.https://www.reuters.com/world/putin-is-no-position-make-demands-ukraine-peace-us-defense-secretary-says-2024-06-14

KYIV — To fill a critical shortage of infantry on the front line, Ukraine has embraced one of Russia's most cynical tactics: releasing convicted — even violent — felons who agree to fight in high-risk assault brigades.

More than 2,750 men have been released from Ukrainian prisons since the parliament adopted a law in May authorizing certain convicts to enlist, including those jailed for dealing drugs, stealing phones and committing armed assaults and murders, among other serious crimes.

More than 2,750 men have been released from Ukrainian prisons since the parliament adopted a law in May authorizing certain convicts to enlist, including those jailed for dealing drugs, stealing phones and committing armed assaults and murders, among other serious crimes.Thank you. Yes, it appears that only convicts who kill more than one person are banned from enlisting. That's not what I read about this bill before, but I don't mind being corrected (not that I enjoy admitting when I'm wrong, but I like even less to STAY wrong).

For the record, I believe that a civilized army shouldn't enlist convicted murderers. But at least, the Ukrainians have some restrictions on the offences unlike the Russians who simply take everyone.

In any case, if pointing out a discrepancy means "owning" your opponent, then you've been owned here times and again, and it doesn't seem to bother you one bit. Hey, Reiner owned you just now, so let's see how you're going to wiggle out of that predicament.

And the longer this goes on, the more of Ukraine will get wrecked by Russia. Time is not on Ukraine's side, neither is the manpower factor (the most important here).We have to bring a couple of chessboards to discuss it. At the moment the current president of the RF does not want to go further, does not have a mandate to do so, and did not stated otherwise publicly. So far he has been very cautious and has chosen to pay risk premium on timeline. This is a risky strategy but it allows to save lives and methodically increase the army capability and numbers at the front and in reserve since this is a conflict between the US and the RF already where the US and NATO countries finance and arm the bankrupt Ukraine, and Russians fight each other on both sides.

Also, there is no point to end the conflict in animosity. There are multiple ways how to de facto control the territory and the legal agreements play a secondary role.

I don't know how the cards are going to fall but I am pessimistic on the outcome. The Ukrainian government won't sign anything and the intervention of the NATO will end in a disaster and a nuclear conflict. The army is back to old proven military codes not only in engineering on a battlefield.

There is a couple of characteristics that show up time to time in Ukraine: 1) Asinine obstinance as opposed to perseverance 2) Always choosing 'loose-loose' over 'win-win' 3) Biting an apple you don't want to eat.

As for specific regions: the game on the chessboard should make sense. For example, from the military POV Odessa region should be one of the last to be taken, however it would mean that Kiev already had been taken and then the fighting might be over. So, in my view, there are only few options on the table, or a friendly Ukrainian state side by side or no state at all. I prefer the last one but I am afraid I would see none of the two options.

They will keep taking territory until Ukraine either collapses or you reach a point where both sides just stop shooting (an ugly peace like North and South Korea).

The longer this goes on, the more territory Russia will take. I stand by what I said. Russia will most likely take 2 more 4 more Oblasts in addition to the 4 they have annexed (plus Crimea of course). Putin has no interest in western Ukraine where he will face enormous resistance and where there are mostly ethnic Ukrainians.

On June 23, the Kiev regime, with support from the United States and its satellites, committed yet another heinous terrorist crime against civilians in Russia by firing missiles at Sevastopol. For their terrorist attack, they specially chose a day – Holy Trinity Sunday – one of the most important holidays celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Four persons were killed, including a two-year-old boy, who was playing on the municipal beach, and a nine-year-old girl. One hundred and fifty-one people applied for medical assistance; 82 persons – 55 adults and 27 children – were hospitalised, many of them in a grave condition. All patients are receiving skilled medical aid.

According to the Defence Ministry of Russia, the attackers used US ATACMS operational missiles with cluster warheads for greater kill ability. All flight data were entered by US military crews based on US reconnaissance satellite inputs. A Global Hawk US reconnaissance drone was on duty off Crimea.

The Investigative Committee of Russia has promptly started an investigation into this crime. All those implicated in this and other terrorist attacks in the territory of the Russian Federation will incur inevitable punishment.

There is no doubt that the United States is involved in this ominous crime. Washington and its satellites have created and nurtured the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. They are cherishing and supporting their Ukrainian puppets, using them to wage a war against Russia, and encouraging them to commit acts of international terrorism and kill Russian civilians, including with the use of cluster munitions, one of the most terrible types of inhumane weapons. A response to this crime will inevitably follow.

The Western capitals continue to criminally hush up the Zelensky regime's barbarous actions. There are no denouncements from international organisations either. The Russian Federation is again urging them to give a proper assessment to yet another outrage perpetrated by the Kiev regime and the West.

Russia expresses its sincere gratitude for the condolences conveyed by officials from friendly states and by members of the European and US public. The words of commiseration continue to come in.

We commiserate with Sevastopol, where a day of mourning has been announced today. We express condolences to the families and friends of the victims and wish an early recovery to the wounded.

https://mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1958806/

On June 24, US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where she was presented with a demarche in connection with a new bloody crime committed by the Kiev regime, patronised and armed by Washington, which launched a well-targeted missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol that led to numerous casualties, including among children.

It was stressed that the United States was conducting a hybrid war against Russia and supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the most advanced weapons, including ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads used against Sevastopol residents, which actually made the US a party to the conflict. Moreover, the targeting and flight data entry is performed by US military crews and therefore the United States shares equal responsibility with the Kiev regime for this outrage.

The ambassador was told that Washington's actions of this sort, including its permission to fire at targets in the Russian hinterland, actions that were aimed at encouraging the pro-Nazi authorities in Ukraine to continue hostilities "until the last Ukrainian," would not be left unpunished. Retaliatory measures are certain to follow.

Gorbunov has reportedly been accused of extorting money from a member of the Public Chamber and former director of the St. Petersburg television channel.

Guys, this is a monger site. Political opinions you can discuss with your mate DTrum. On X but you will never achieve a result. Stop it. Waste of energy.

Talk about fucking, boobs and pussy! There is an oversupply of lonely ladies at the moment in Kiew. No one out on a hunt? . well you better shall know the shortest way to the next shelter and perhaps wear a bulletproof vest. But then, reward is likely to be overwhelming.

No one there to report?

The pro Ukraine tools on here will ignore that. They will also ignore Putin's famous speech in Munich in 2007 where he spoke about this.The same Putin that lied about his intentions just days before he started the war?

Is that the one we have to believe and take seriously?

If you think he will ever keep his word, I have a bridge for sale.

They think Pershing was a German brand of laundry detergent.

Meanwhile on June 28,2024, Putin announced the resumption of production of medium- and shorter-range ground-based missiles in the Russian Federation. As always it means deployment decisions already have been made.

Whats your point here? Putler already since 2018 has Iskander missiles stationed in Kaliningrad. Rockets, capable of nuclear warheads, to reach Berlin or Warsaw. Did NATO attack Russia because
of this reason? Did Germany try to regain former German territory there?

Ukraine will have to negotiate with Vladimir Putin, and it will.Gee, I wonder what happened? Looks like some reality is starting to sink in perhaps. Although I doubt it.

"We don't have too much time," he said, pointing to the high casualty rate among soldiers and civilians.

I have proven Infos from Biz Travellers that Nightlive, although reduced, still has ample supply of sex hungry ladies.

Yes, many left. But those are the moms with kids. Not hunting target.

Where is desaster you find opportunities!

Ukraine has to hold presidential elections and free elections to a new Rada following a suspension of the martial law. It has to agree to the RF's terms to start the true negotiations as opposed to the spring of 2022 farce. The agreement should be verifiable, enforceable and should not be humiliating as the Treaty of Versailles. The RF is not interested in freezing the conflict.

At the moment, as the locals say, there are three types of Ukrainians (said using a derogatory word):

Those living in the left bank (lower bank of Dnieper, to the east) who would agree to surrender Donbass.

Those living in Kiev, who would agree to surrender the left bank.

And those living in the Western Ukraine, who would agree to surrender everything east of the river Zbruch (along the Polish. Russian border of 1921).

However, the Western Ukraine is Russian historic land as well up to the WWI.
