they just keep sticking it to Russia ...

Ukraine's secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, has backed the assessment of Ukrainian military leader, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, that Ukraine needs to change its approach to defending itself from Russian aggression.
During an interview with Radio Svoboda on Nov. 3, Danilov said that if Western aid had arrived sooner, the Russian war against Ukraine might have had different results.
He added that Russia has already “recuperated” and has begun to involve its ‘friends’ — Iran and North Korea.
“That's why I believe General Zaluzhnyi is correct,” the secretary said.
In Zaluzhnyi’s article, published in UK weekly news magazine the Economist on Nov. 1, Ukraine’s top general warned of the threat of a positional war.
He also named key priorities for the Ukrainian military at this stage: air superiority, electronic warfare, counter-battery warfare, mine-explosive technologies, and reserve capacity.

This will displease Saint Zelensky.
What’s next is asymetric / guerrilla warfare
Don’t think the DC neocons and EU globalists are going to give up that easily. And there’s still plenty of Azovs willing to die for NATO
A coup is underway
That would be a blood bath.
The money is drying up and the gravy train is ending. None of the destructing and loss of life have moved the battle lines in any significant way. The situation has not changed much since the beginning of the war.
Russia can do this until the cows come home while Ukraine can't.
The people living in the occupied territories are ethnic Russian and don't want Ukrainian rule. Its time to make a deal or die on your terms. If they want to preserve what is left of Ukraine they will.
Russia wants out of this mess as well, it has costs them immensely diplomatically.
We bought Alaska from Russia now Russia can compensate Ukraine for of the territory they already occupy. Not cash just favorable oil and other long term contracts that will help rebuild Ukraine.
That is the only solution because I'm not paying for it.
can’t be any peace deal until Ukraine has some security guarantee against any future Russian attacks
otherwise Russia will attack again within the next 5 years, guaranteed
that might mean NATO membership for Ukraine, if that’s what it takes to stop Russian warmongering
Ukraine will never be awarded such guaranty from any state other than Russia.
It will never happen. And everyone on the planet knows it. Except you and other Ukrainians.
then the war will go on
He needs to get someone else to pay for his new ways.
We are sick of it and him.
They will never get NATO membership.
Not without money, weaponry and bodies to sacrifice.
Perhaps you should go over there and help out in the meat grinder.
“then the war will go on”
Not likely.
if Russia is guaranteed to keep attacking, then Ukraine has zero incentive to stop fighting
surrender = death
that’s why this “simple 1-week conquest” is now entering its 22nd month
(the sanctions will go on, too - taking Russia down)
Especially when....
'I was afraid of it': the Ukrainians dodging conscription and fleeing the country EuroNew with Agence France Presse, 1 September 2023.
I would be okay with that, just get it done already. Both sides will have to give up things they don't want to. At this point continuing the fighting isn't in anyone best interest except perhaps China.
The plan was to collapse Russia by taking away MasterCard, McDonalds, and OnlyFans.
Tells you a lot more about us than it does about them.
total Russian BS
there was never any plan to “collapse Russia”, only to make them get out of land they don’t own (like Ukraine)
It appears the corrupted little beggar is getting ready to sack Zaluzhny and Sirsky……two powerful Generals that oppose Zelensky’s meatgrinder tactics.
Military coup a very, very good possibility.

Incredible that Ukraine can be supplied by the U.S. and western Europe and it's apparently effectively counterbalanced by Russia getting stuff from Iran and North Korea.
