And if Russia wasn't supported by China, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, etc...
It's a lame excuse, considering Russia officially uses foreign soldiers, while Ukraine isn't allowed to use them.

Took 'm 5 years to gain 13% (most of those gains coming from the first few months),
They already controlled 7% from their previous invasion in 2014.
Their performance is laughable at best, this war has exposed their status as some kind of world power.
Their inabillity to protect even their close allies is another glaring example of this, it's almost sad.
They've now resorted to some Wunderwaffe attacks to impress their own population.
This all would be amusing as hell if it weren't for innocent Ukranians dying

Trade & support are 2 different things.
Russia pays money or trades something from everything it gets from the countries it mentioned.
Ukraine gets everything for free because the West doesn't care about Eastern European lives.
Also it's crazy that you think Russia has something nearly equitable to Ukraine literally having the Five Eyes guide its intelligence apparatus.
Ondirsnik will not be game changer, it is to threat plebs and mainly techically uninterested ppl.
For example even subsonic cruise missiles will be more threat for ukr IF they will manage to exaust SAM missiles stkckpiles.
Because these are well proven as most effective for substations and transformators smashing and these they does have a lot, already manufactured...
Unlike ondirshnik or kinjal they are precise and they does have a lot of them.
Also damage they might do is considerably higher than iranian drone might do due to higher payload and speed.
Still not too fast to loss precision and this is stuff exactly needed for transformators and substations smashing.
Ofc small substations and small transformators aren't worth to spend missile and they also might hire saboteurs and diversants to damage them.
Medium size and large substations does have CCTV and some guards plus are larger, therefore missile is very suitable tool to do job.

I mean the Eastern Europeans obviously don't even care about Eastern European lives. Especially Russia. It's tragic.
How everthing for free and why ? They are getting also a lot of loans too btw.
Zelonka told that if he will not get next money portions he will not have money to pay border guards, custom services, police and prison guards. And they will not work for free. Criminals and prisoners will walk where they want and ofc might visit europe too.
Plus possibly ofc all these border guards and policemans too.
If they will not get salaries they 100% will not work. 0 questions.
So yeah, he is blackmailing europe with this.
If someone thinks that Zelonka is worse thing in ukraine he is wrong.
Their parliament voted to increase their salaries and sent bill to state treasury that they will need more funding for their ( lawmakers ) salaries....
Also some lawmakers in ukraine heavily reccomended to mobilize everyone capable to move. Including females.

actually they might afford tell zelonka plain and simple text : if you don't agree that we will increase our salaries we will not vote for budget bill and then you too will not get salary etc. They are doing this with zelonka since he get elected. Plus ofc each year had voted to increase their salaries. Zelonka always folded under their pressure.
Zelonka really placed Budanov as OP.
Now will see will he talk with euro offcials or no. If yes, ukr is done.
Will be classic arestovich type flowchart : you soon will have big war, please [ deplete your stockpiles ] give weapons. After this in ukr tell lawmakers and huelensky how bad are evil ppl , didn't had sent enough weapons and ammunitions.
Predictable idiotism flowchart how to get lesser supplies.

Lawmakers ( politicians ) in europe fears one thing : to get lesser votes in next elections.
And if there loud experts from ukraine are traveling around and telling that they soon will have war.... then after such hypetrain some % of voters might get angry if politician will agree to deplete stockpiles. Therefore might not vote for them in next elections.

Plus ukr before war during 3 decades did a lot of actual de militarization ....with diligence and happiness.
They for example had scrapped 2000 MANPADS launchers and xx xxx missiles.
Excuse might had been that they are old.
Ofc very old obsolete stuff isn't in general good thing, however with manpads situation is different.....
Helicopters etc does use detection systems and if launch is detected, flares are used. However number of their containers is limited ofc...
And system can't detect is launched missile old or modern model.
Therefore in ukr in some cases worked well tactique initially launch old garbage and later more modern MANPAD missile when a lot of flares had been alredy spent.

Unfortunately looks that ukrainians will have future only if they will not be located in ukraine.
Ukraine more and more looks like supposed chinesse american russian colonium where they wants cheap workforce and cheap production.
They does looks on them like on papua tribe cavemans btw.
However milking process needs more $.
Therefore part of colonium will be on paper independent. They will rise prices and tax for plebs in order to milk out debts. For this purpose on paper part of ukraine should be indepenent in order to milk out from them debts.... gubbermint debts.
Therefore austerity measures for plebs will be introduced with smile. Inflation will increase significantly, will be high pressure to keep salaries as low as it will be possible, to increase tax and duties in positions where more burden is on plebs not elite.
Will be a lot of telemarathons and brainwashing about bright future, investments ( LOL, yeah classic : lesser salaries better and more poor are plebs : better...especially good if plebs will have also a lot of private debts! ).

Yup. Russia is really pathetic here.
With the amount of footage I have seen of Russian invaders on horseback, it's obvious this invasion is entering its last year. Ukraine is inflicting an increasing amount of casualties on Russia every single month with their FPV & fiber optic drones. Over 30,000 in December 2025, going up by ~2000 casualties a month since at least October.
Russia's economy is obviously floundering, and I suspect their military recruitment will not keep up with casualties if Ukraine continues to increase monthly casualties inflicted on Russia. This is very likely the last year of the war before Russia is forced to negotiate.

IGOR STRELKOV ON THE US SEIZURE OF A TANKER UNDER THE RUSSIAN FLAG
The problem of seizing such tankers, unfortunately, is not an isolated incident, and this is the main danger. Now that the United States has brazenly seized two tankers from the Russian fleet, there is no doubt that all so-called allies from the so-called "coalition of the willing" will immediately try to follow suit. That is, as if the "big boss" has given the go-ahead, and they will happily rush to do the same, especially since such examples have already occurred.
Therefore, unfortunately, our rather meager fleet, unfortunately, clearly doesn't have enough for all the seas and all the oceans. Another seal has been broken, another red line crossed, one to which, unfortunately, we have no answer.
They no longer fear us at all, and they will fear us less and less each time. This is, in fact, very bad, because time is running out, opportunities are evaporating, and the war remains unwon.

Nowhere near the same amount of support. Apples and oranges.
Why hasn't Russia leveled Kiev?
Ukraine has all types of foreign soldiers fighting for them.

The Russian army is doing so well in Ukraine that they're now mounting Starlink communications to horses.
The second greatest army in the world, everyone!
I forget had I posted this in this thread or no. If repeated post, sorry.
Babish confirmed for EC that Czech Republic isn't willing to participate in any security warranties for ukraine. Will not agree to install obserwers or peacekeepers even if putin will agree.
☆ however will agree to sell weapons and ammunition if other countries will pay for this.
☆ additionally multiple times pointed that due to inflation these prices had increased.

Fico confirmed that Slovakia will not participate in any security warranties for Ukraine.
Will not send observers or troops even if Putin will agree with this.
Also Fico confirmed that he wants Slovakia to end NATO membership because it is too expensive.
However he will allow to sell weapons and ammunitions if $€£ will be paid by other countries.
Orban is super angry about Fico idea to leave NATO.
