  1. Russia is still toying with Ukraine, it might take few more years till Russia turn Ukraine into another Berlin.

  2. Paid Russian comment farm out in force here dishing out the compium and “what about Ukraine sending drones to Russia”… Ukraine wouldn’t be hitting Russia if Putin had stayed away from Ukraines sovereign territory and not seeded separatist groups with propaganda and funding.

    Russia Ukraine War
    Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered an “epic fail” in Ukraine and his forces may have to “pause” in the coming weeks, the head of MI6 has said.

    Richard Moore, the chief of the UK Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), said the war was “obviously not over” but the Russian invaders may be starting “to run out of steam”.

    Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum in the US, he said: “I think he has suffered a strategic failure in Ukraine. It is obviously not over.

  8. This is the softening up stage of Russia's massive Summer offensives which will start in the next few weeks. The west has lost its proxy war on Russia. Notice how the western press never ever mention what's happing on the actual battle field front lines? No mention of the 1,100 – 1,300 Ukrainian soldiers being slaughtered each and every day for the past six weeks, no mention of the 3-8 km advance each day by Russia in the north, east and south. Why do you think this is? Why radio silence on the true state of play?

  10. yah, ukraine mocked the "first peace step" of the prisoner exchange by sending hundreds of drones and missiles into Russia 2 days ago -what a bunch of creeps these ukraine propagandists are

  17. When will people realize China is behind everything. Right after China shee visits Russia, the attacks pick up.

  18. Wow, the washing machine chips from Russia are truly miraculous 😃😛🤣. Why don’t they say they attacked the helicopter carrying Putin?? Why don’t they say that Ukraine is the one attacking civilians, just like Israel does in Palestine? 🤐🤐🤐
