“The Ukrainians are very, very lucky that Putin has been so restrained. That restraint may soon end.”
I’ve been hearing this for over two years now. It’s getting old.
“The Russians will create a buffer zone to protect Russian Federation territory if Ukraine doesn’t surrender. Nothing will stop them from doing so.”
For the past two years the Ukrainians have been stopping them from doing so.
And if the Russians were capable of taking Odessa then they would be there by now. But they are not.
Seems they’re a little short of landing ships lately.
So, you'd prefer Russia move the war along more quickly and take territory more rapidly?
You're absolutely wrong. The Russians just took the last of Ukraine's fortified strongholds in eastern Ukraine about a month ago in Avdeyevka and have been gaining territory daily since.
You don't seem to grasp that Russia liberated all the territory it wanted to by September of 2022. The Russians would be more than satisfied with if Ukraine would surrender.
But, you and your ilk are content to fight to last Ukraine for Ukraine to continue to shrink.
Utter and total nonsense.
The Russians were more than happy to let Donetsk and Lugansk be a part of Ukraine so long as both had US state-like autonomy. That is one of the issues negotiated in Minsk Accords, which Ukraine signed and reneged on.
The Russians and Ukrainians almost had a peace deal in Turkey two years ago that would have allowed Ukraine to keep more territory than Ukraine has left now. But, Boris Johnson and the Biden regime wanted a proxy war with Russia and killed the deal.
At every turn, it's NATO and we that wanted war. Both, foolishly, thought it could win a proxy war with Ukraine.
This from a woman that thought Russia would be forced from all "occupied" territory by February 29th of this year?
Making that bet alone showed how delusional you are. And, you still refuse to face reality.
