International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

I think Zelenski did a good job showing the map of all UKR un tapped resources and why Russia is invading in those areas. Now he has dangled a carrot in front of Trump and Trump is going to be all in with the endless possibilities with UKR resources.
Trump might put even harsher sanctions crippling them even more.

I reckon it is. Not because of the last moment but because the flickering when it was higher up. When they're low it's normal for the feed to struggle but you can see the image struggling when that thing was 30m in the air.

Nice spin on your part.
Well, let us see. North Korea offered Russia troops to fight in Ukraine, Putin did not ask for it. Kim Jong Un wanted a trade for nuclear and rocket technology. Common knowledge. Let us talk about all the Ukrainians who are deserting the Army and how Ukraine no longer gets volunteers from outside Ukraine. The majority of volunteers are either dead or went back home. What are we up to now? 500,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers and nothing has changed since 2022. Russia is still fighting and will continue to fight past June 1st. Its economy will continue the course and not collapse past June 1st. Only an idiot would think otherwise. We are hearing very little to nothing from the Trump administration on Ukraine. Not a good sign.

Not hearing much from Trump is a bad sign for who? You are the one who came back to this thread after Trump got elected hoping that he would give UKR to Russia, After all you said they were good buddies right? unfortunately for your prayers that isnt happening and Trump wants to put more sanctions on Russia and now is also interested in the natural resources that UKR has that can be used to pay for future aid.
Russia is not making it out of 2025 with the status quo.

Looks like Ukr has finally decided to give solid resistance for Pokrovsk. Here is the latest update from russian telegram:

Pokrovsk direction. Left flank

The enemy is attempting to attack with armored vehicles supported by artillery and drones in Kotlino, Zverevo and in the direction of Peschanoye.

There is information that the 425th separate regiment is involved in this.

Fierce fighting is underway.

Trump Administration Hands Putin Three Major Wins​


A bad sign for Ukraine. No, not hoping Trump would give Ukraine to Russia, but stop military aid to Ukraine. Yes, Trump and Putin are still good friends. He would not jeopardize that friendship over Ukraine. Russia brings something to the table. Ukraine brings nothing to the table. It just takes. Pay for future aid? Why? Hasn't Ukraine not been getting military aid for free all this time? Russia will be fine by June 1st and beyond. Frankly, Trump, like most Americans, does not give two shits about Ukraine. He, and most Americans, see it as a European problem. Look at what Trump is doing in Gaza compared to what he is doing in Ukraine.

* The Ukrainian resources are the Rare Earth Elements (REEs). A group of 17 elements on the periodic table. They can be found in other parts of the world.

Homeboy isn't a victim, he's a shill. He's like, "They're not donkeys, they're mules! Check mate western imperialists."

They don't even bother painting them. Clear white targets for everyone to see.

Since Russians have devolved into using infantry wave tactics and using ww2 weapons so I wouldn't be surprised if they start using calvary charges on horseback. Just give guys spears at this point.

Isn't the war essentially lost by Ukraine since the US seems to be abandoning them?

Ukraine pushed back the Russians without US support in the beginning so it's not a given. They are still given support by European countries. I think without US support, it'll be difficult to gain back the territory they lost.
But then again they also just pushed further into Kursk so don't underestimate Ukraine.

At the rate of advance Russia is making, it'll take them another decade to conquer Ukraine. At some point something is going to give. Both countries are running out of men and material, but Ukraine gets more foreign aid and Russia has more people. Even if Russia eventually wins, it'll be at a cost of more of than a million lives lost (likely much more than one million) and their economy in utter shambles. I also don't think neighboring countries like Poland will be happy about having Russia so close to their borders so it wouldn't surprising if we see European troops being sent to help Ukraine if things get dire.

With Poland it will be....they most likely will supply something ofc while they will be reluctant to install troops in Ukraine because then Ukraine will start to ask more money and even investments etc....ASAP .
Plus Kremlin ofc during 16 years had invested a lot in propaganda that Poland will annex part of Ukraine in order to trigger ukr nationalists against Poland....maybe with hope that they will have war..

Anglo saxonians always had supported russian imperialistic faschists in Kremlin. Always, exception was 1949 th and during Korean war.
Otherwise these money hungry anglo saxonians always were and are even a bit protecting Kremlin.

I dunno why huelensky wants NATO membership? NATO was best protector for Kremlin.
Ukraine for them is either Grey zone or Russia's vassal. Always had been and will be. Ofc something a bit had been supplied and even this only after friends appeared too drunk and cocky.
Nothing more.

I do think that pro Kremlin oriented anglo saxonians and Germans does have dream that Poland will be kurds No2 No3 etc.
Obviously both U.S dems and reps plus Germany are and will be pro Kremlin oriented just money hungry ....always will be the same. Money hungry, lazy and cocky dreamers.
 
Last POTUS who appeared to be capable to prevent large scale war in this area was Obama.
Yes, he didn't had supplied a little bit and overrated small arms and short range ATGMS like to prepare loosers to fight as partizans in era with thermals and night vision equipment etc....

While Obama had balls not to remowe navy ships from Black Sea but increase ... and to tell: we here do have friendly peaceful exercises with Romania, Turkey and Bulgaria.
With this was enough.

Biden's administration had not only refused to sell Ukr any more serious weapons before March 2022 th, they also had relocated embassy perssonel from Kiev office and navy ships before 24.02.2022.

While ofc huelensky can't also to read between lines meaning of text " I will defend each inch of NATO countries " [ without mention in direct text meaning " Ukraine isn't NATO country and We will not defend... it is so easy to get almost direct meaning between lines. Diplomatic language usually doesn't allows direct texts if they might look too sharp ....

Zelensky had xx. Days to think.
When they were warned in open texts months ago, he and abdirstantowich told that there OK everything. Even before 24.02 2022 .

If to add that Germany and Co 1992-2022 February had maintained policy not to sell Ukr any heavy weaponry....only idiot can't see relal realpolitik.

BTW where are highly touted Ukr missiles Grom/ Hrum2 talked about since 2019 th?
They appeared even not capable to produce 1980 ies USSR model Thocka U clone.
Maybe they might produce coffin with assistance from outside. Besides loud PR.
Even cartridges for small arms appeared not capable to produce .....begged in March 2022 th from " bad europe ".
 
Looks that today Putin is confident that he will have troops and ammo supplies for this month and next month even without mobilization ( busification). They ofc does have enough poor and usable contingent to hire guys
Looks that they does have advantage in arty and mortars ammo, number of drones and MRLS rocket and even more mines. West ofc as always is pro Kremlin oriented as usually.
 
I will not agree that Estonian or other eurozone countries taxpayers should pay their tax money for Ukr reconstruction after war. Kallas.
I will not tell yes for reconstruction funding from our pocket. While we still will support, we do not need any tutelage type instructions from Ukraine. Ukraine does needs audits.
