    Two years after Russia launched its invasion, the fighting is shifting in its favor.

    I haven’t clicked thru yet but whether you interpret this as Russia’s favor or Ukraine’s favor, this statement is delusional

    On May 10th of this year, with the war in a very different phase, Russia attacked again. The so-called “meat storm,” in which wave after wave of foot soldiers are sent into the line of fire—Western intelligence services estimate that the total number of Russian dead and wounded has surpassed half a million—remains a grim hallmark of Russian operations, but the military has adapted.

    the so-called “meat storm”

    But there is still no process for demobilizing troops, so those who are called up fear that they are being handed a one-way ticket—not an attractive prospect in a grinding war of attrition that, according to U.S. intelligence, has killed seventy thousand Ukrainian soldiers

    are these really the numbers western propaganda is operating with? lol. lmao, even.

    vs

    a grinding war of attrition that, according to U.S. intelligence, has killed seventy thousand Ukrainian soldiers

    Angloid propagandists love grouping together dead and wounded to make it seem that Russia is losing

    Even with a year’s worth of U.S. weapons on the way, Ukraine cannot count on future aid packages, particularly if Donald Trump becomes President again.
