Shame the russki's can't say the same...

He's hardly ever in Ukraine.

I appreciate you conceding that you are wrong on this point, given his various trips were most definitely not "holidays" but were diplomatic missions
(see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...ential_trips_made_by_Volodymyr_Zelenskyy#2022).

And again, it takes an adult-mindset to understand and admit that you are wrong about this particular point. It doesn't make you wrong on all points, to be sure. But thank you for admitting your wrongness on this one.

The sooner this Russian little Hitler is put to bed the better for both the people of Russia and Ukriane (and the free world). The numbers of Russian lads he is throwing into his meat grinder attacks is an outrage!

Putin Is Running Out of Time to Achieve Breakthrough in Ukraine

For months, Russia’s army has made only limited gains on the battlefield against Ukrainian troops starved of weapons and ammunition. That’s a growing challenge for President Vladimir Putin as his military’s advantage starts to erode.

From the article

Putin said in December that Russia had 617,000 troops deployed in Ukraine. At a meeting with foreign media in St. Petersburg late Wednesday, he appeared to imply that some 10,000 Russian troops a month were being killed or wounded, by claiming the total was five times lower than Ukrainian losses he put at 50,000.
Ukraine rejects such estimates of its casualties. Zelenskiy said in February his military had lost 31,000 soldiers since the start of the war.
The US in December put the number of killed and wounded Russian troops at 315,000, close to 90% of the original invasion force. The UK Defence Ministry last week raised its estimate of total Russian casualties to 500,000 and said losses were running at 1,200 per day in May.

Army Group North ( The force used for the Kharkiv Oblast offensive) has been decimated. They are now pulling troops from the East to reinforce but it’s too little too late.

Lots of sources put the RuAF losses at 1000-1200 a day, that’s just unreal. Surely even a rat like Putin can’t explain that one away to the Russian people.

He is a disgusting creature and has zero regard for human life. The Kursk disaster showed exactly how he valued the life of his own people.

Obviously he doesn't, but to put losses into perspective a soldier lost from the frontline can be everything from being vaporised by a direct hit from an artillery strike to a few broken toes. A lot of pro Ukrainian commentators are saying that Zelensky under reporting Ukrainian losses is effecting conscription. Why sign up when things are going well on all fronts?

I don’t think that’s the reason why Ukraine is finding it difficult to get new recruits.

Obviously not the only one,but it's fair to say it could be having a bearing on recruitment. I'm sure a lot more would join the Ukrainian Legion if they were aware of the true situation. I have no specialist knowledge,just going on the pro Ukrainian stuff on social media.

Putin comrade, Putin.

Unfortunately it would appear that money for the Ukrainian defence belts in Kharkiv is being "misspent" Or maybe this video is just deep fake.

Putin comrade, Putin.

But according to most pro Ukrainian social media Ukraine are winning,so when reading that why would young Ukrainians in other countries see the need to join up when things are going so well without them?

War porn

Just a discussion in the video. You appear to be very confused. War porn is showing a soldier begging for medical assistance while a drone drops a grenade on him. Or artillery taking out a line of trucks carrying troops to the frontline that type of thing you know...the sort of videos you post

I was talking about your guy Putin, you know, the weasel who is directly responsible for all of these deaths and his little SMO.

You keep on trying to deflect though, it's almost funny. Stay strong comrade, and find strength in the promise of a field of potatoes.
