Sad to hear your disgust. No milk and honey in your rhetoric just blame everyone. I don't think your bubble exists anymore even if it remotely did in your lifetime. Putin would love to take all of Europe if he could and still might. Wake up dear friend.

We'd all be better off under Milosevic type leaders apparently.

Very worrying scenes in Mariupol.

If Russia are actually pulling troops from some areas there should be a Ukranian offensive campaign to save these people before it's too late.

I have a few Croat friends, they hate American and NATO cos they feel they should have helped them more during the Balkan war and when I say helped, I mean win the war for them. Lots of anti-NATO feeling all over Europe cos they think America should fix all the problems in the world, whilst keeping their noses out.

Baffling.

Like Serbia simultaneously cozying up to China and Russia while applying to join the EU. Do you want to be an autocratic dictatorship or a liberal democracy?

They hate Serbia more than anything and rightly so!

As with the previous numbers posted, even if these are exaggerated by 25%, they are devastating losses for Putin and his nutjob military hierarchy to sustain… and to justify/explain to the Russian people

And likely to get worse if reports of a Ukrainian counter offensive around Kharkiv are accurate

They want the economic pot of honey and do whatever else they want.
Not unlike Poland and Hungary.

Wouldn't put too much stock in those numbers. NATO accounted for a max of 10 Percent loss of materiel.

The problem is the Russian people wont believe these numbers and quite frankly neither do I.
