      Don’t tell my fellow Americans. An article posted saying a Republican says we need to accept that Ukraine will cede some territory to Russia was met with vitriol, I goes because a Republican said it. I’m not a fan of either party but just because someone I find distasteful said it doesn’t make it less true.

        No, it was met with vitriol because we don’t need to accept that regardless of the political party of the dipshit saying that. The war in Ukraine is winnable with support from the non-fascist world, and anybody claiming otherwise is spreading disinformation.

          Non-fascist support * wouldn’t include USA.

          Corrected

          Eta: it’s winnable at what cost? Pyrrhic victories aren’t victories. And azov isn’t the only, or even one, battalion.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Russia is continuing to launch attacks along the entire frontline in Ukraine, Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Sunday.

    “We jointly made the necessary decisions and took measures to ensure the stability of our defence, preserve the lives of our soldiers, and use ammunition rationally,” he wrote on Telegram.

    He claimed Ukraine’s army was holding the line in Avdiivka, with Russian forces relentlessly assaulting the northern Donetsk city since the beginning of autumn.

    Winter weather conditions have made it more difficult to advance on the battlefield while having a grizzly impact on soldiers and civilians.

    Russia fired eight ballistic missiles at Kyiv early on Monday, all of which were shot down, according to Ukraine’s Air Force.

    Earlier in December, Russian Defense Minister Sergei claimed his country’s army was “advancing in all directions” in Ukraine.
