Zelensky Says Russia Has No 'Iota of Courage to Admit Defeat and Withdraw'
https://www.newsweek.com ^ | 7/12/22 | BY JAKE THOMAS

krainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia's military is too cowardly to concede defeat, and touted his own country's military prowess as a counter-offensive is launched in southern Ukraine.

Zelensky struck an assured tone in a national speech on Tuesday where he also highlighted Ukraine's growing closeness with the Western-based NATO alliance. The Ukrainian president's remarks come after an infusion of weapons from Western allies and as the country seeks to beat back Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine.

Zelensky said in the speech that Russian occupiers "will not have a safe rear anywhere on our land." He said that intercepted communications of Russian soldiers show they are "truly afraid of our armed forces." Russia's military is able to sustain conflict, nearly in its fifth month, on the "basis of bottomless stocks of old Soviet weapons," he said.

"They no longer have strategic strength, character or understanding of what they are doing here on our land," said Zelensky. "They also don't have even an iota of courage to admit defeat and withdraw troops from Ukrainian territory."

Reminds me of Baghdad Bob.

The Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries ruled by a gang put in charge by George Soros.

"They also don't have even an iota of courage to admit defeat and withdraw troops from Ukrainian territory."

After the horrific and humiliating maulings at Mariupol and Severdonetsk/Lysychansk, the cowardly and beaten Russians are retreating toward Siversk and Bakhmut.

I give it until August. I saw a Irish chef whose energy bill went from 700 euro in June to 2400 in July. German and other continental places have to be 10X worse. Putin started this war knowing he could use energy against the Europeans.

I guess I would consider it a defeat if my entire country was reduced to rubble... Did that happen in Russia? No one benefits from this war, but don’t see how you can say Putin is defeated, I guess it comes down to different definitions of defeat and winning..
