when the truth comes out about him.

I see this is one of those "We don't need to wait for any evidence" days for Dave.

I'm sure it'll only take reports of some new Russian atrocity to see the switch flipped back to "Let's not jump to conclusions" mode.

Looks like Russians are getting hammered in their meat waves as the commanders had previously lied about taking the area (village).

Such a sensless waste of life. Putin has a sea of blood on his hands.

What's the deal here: Ukraine stops receiving free aid from the west and starts to pay the U.S. in minerals for the aid they're given?

The forst election that clown faces - if he sticks around for it - will be very interesting.

Is that a good enough source for Dave tho?

Poor 'Anton'.

He's talking about Russia "survival" when the Ukraine armed forces are deserting their posts, men in the country are fleeing it to avoid conscription and Russia are still taking village after village, town after town in an inexorable push westward.

How are they going to survive all that, I wonder?

This is all bollocks positioning now to claim a 'victory' from the ashes of defeat.

Trump will impose a deal on Ukraine and the land they lost will be lost forvever. Zelensky has allowed his nation to be used as a laboratory to test Russia's resolve and the price his people had to pay is about 100,000 dead, 400,000 injured, about 6 million of them displaced across Europe and their towns and cities turned into rubble.

That's what defeat looks like.

Well, put it this way. Those of us in Germany are likely to be a lot less generous if our aid is going into a black hole while Developer Don is being rewarded for his.

A dangerous game for the Ukrainians, this, and Scholz has already commented on it with disdain. Merz will definitely be looking to extract the same concessions from the Ukrainians...
