Don’t know what to tell you guys. The rust got their asses kicked at Kyiv and retreated. They still don’t have Mariupol and their big eastern push has been a big eastern flop. I get they had sympathizers in Donbas and Luhansk so they just rolled in but those areas will most likely be leveled to the point of no habitation before they are given to the Russians. The Russians have bigger problems than you think. They have not gotten off a successful offensive push this entire invasion. And they cannot keep up with western supplies to Ukraine. Have you noticed the missile strikes have reduced?
The Russians always have all their top military dogs together at the Victory Parade. Any reports of Gerasimov being there? Or is he still recovering from his wounds? We know he is not in the Donbass. He had to leave rather unceremoniously.
By the way, I'm not saying they didn't get their butt handed to them or that their deployment (the Russians) has been anything of note. It was a disaster. I'm just questioning the "We'll have Kiev in three days" comment.
Not just Kiev in 3 days... whole Ukraine in 3 days!!! ROFLMAO. https://srbin.info/en/svet/rusija-da-hoce-moze-za-tri-dana-da-osvoji-kijev-cilj-je-ipak-nesto-drugo/ Veselin Sljivancanin pointed out for Kurir TV that "if Russia wanted, it would end with Ukraine in three days", but that in big cities such as Kiev, special attention should be paid to the technique of warfare.
For the record, it was expected Putin would make a big move today such as declaring war and full mobilization but that seems to have puttered out. Instead Putin gave a speech loaded with lies and listing grievances that go back hundreds of years then skulked back to his bunker. Tough nuts for that guy.
I had to google the name. "Veselin Šljivančanin is a former Montenegrin Serb officer in the Yugoslav People's Army who participated in the Battle of Vukovar and was subsequently convicted on a war crimes indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia for his role in the Vukovar massacre." So this guy's comments serve as an official Russian military source?
Putin read that comment and said: just let's do it! ROFLMAO Today Putin was very silent. No strong statements. Does he finally understand how this will end?
