Russia has proven that they cannot be trusted with any significant remaining Military capability. They are not yet done stuffing it all through the meatgrinder.

Russia expected to finish off its invasion of Ukraine within a week and a half, making sweeping gains in the initial days of the invasion that started on February 24, 2022.
But this failed to materialize in the face of what experts called Ukrainian defiance that took the Kremlin by surprise. Western analyses have also suggested that Moscow made a number of crucial mistakes in the early phases, including how it used its tank crews, sustaining heavy losses of experienced personnel...
Russia currently controls about one-fifth of Ukraine's internationally recognized territory. Kyiv's ongoing counteroffensive, which began in early June, has rolled back some Russian positions in the annexed south and east of the war-torn country, but progress has been slower than Ukraine, and its supporters, had hoped...

but Putin doesn't want real peace (that's why the attacks continue), he just wants to try to lock in his ill-gotten gains, like the Nazis tried to do in 1942
besides, we all know any "peace deal" wouldn't last, Russia will just be attacking & invading again in a few years
Yup, its like the lasting deal Putin made with Prigozhin.
Putin won’t be satisfied until he puts the [Soviet Union] Band back together again.
A return to the 2014 status quo antebellum is the only amswer—before the coup staged by the so-called “Maidan” creeps.
“we all know”? What a clown you are.
Here we go again
Western propo: plants story “Putin plans quick end to war” ( with no proof whatsoever)
Never happens
Western Propo: “Putin shows Russian weakness by failing to achieve quick victory”
So you want Ukraine to be controlled by corrupt russian oligarchs who in turn are controlled by putin? The whole reason for Maidan was because the Ukrainian people were sick of that arrangement and wanted a real country with a real government.
Your deranged fantasy of russia as some sort of beacon of morality and freedom prevents you from seeing reality. Those of us who lived under Soviet occupation have a clear view of the picture.
In April, Ruzzher was doomed, too.

Lots of Cognitive Dissonance here from the Ukrainiacs.
Your pulp fiction of Putin as a psychopathic dictator isn’t coming true, as new reports are out about Ukraine corruption and Ukraine being behind the missile that killed their own people.
The Depression stage of the Grief Stages are a bitch.
Ukraine is controlled by corrupt Ukrainian Oligarchs, what’s the difference?
>>>>>If Putin really wants peace, all he has to do is stop attacking and withdraw illegally-invading Russian troops back to Russia ... simple!<<<<<
But he can’t do that. Attacking the neighbors is an integral part of Muskovite culture, like the scorpion in the fable. Learned from the Mongols in the 13th century, but of course they don’t remember that. The Bolsheviks rewrote history so often that the man in the street couldn’t know what happened yesterday without consulting Pravda.
You are also mistaken if you think that pro-EU oligarchs in Kiev are any less reprehensible than their Russian counterparts.
Russia has proven that they cannot be trusted with any significant remaining Military capability. They are not yet done stuffing it all through the meatgrinder.
LOL, you're ridiculous. If Putin invading neighboring Ukraine for territorial annexation is not the actions of a psychopathic dictator, what is? Ask Finland, why they didn't trust their treaties with Russia and were suddenly desperate to join NATO.
Many countries are corrupt, including Russia, does that mean we should invade Russia?
Blaming Ukraine for casualties that happen in its defense from Putin's invasion is moronic. Its like blaming the police for an accidental shooting in a bank robbery.
It’s way too late for ‘quick’
Ukraine is a corrupt state run by Nazis. Putin does not want the western garbage on his border and i do not blame him.
anybody who studies History knows that Russia cannot be trusted
too bad some here on FR failed History ...
Russian military correspondent Steshin, replying to the question how will Russians “reconcile” with Ukrainians, says they’ll do it “with side glances, knocking out teeth with the butt of a gun…Some will be cured, fed, & saved. Those who don’t want to live with us will get shot”.

Russia is a corrupt state run by Nazi gangsters. Europe doesn’t want the warmongering Russian garbage on their border.
We can’t really blame them.
