You have to wonder why Putin hasn't already retreated, right? He's already lost 90% of his army. It also makes one wonder why so many are saying if we don't give more $ to Ukraine, Putin will invade Poland and the Baltics. How could he possibly do that with just 10% of his army?

They did retreat from the capital last year and suffered humiliating defeats at Kharkiv and Kherson.

Remember, that’s the pre war army. They’ve had 2 mobilizations since then along with large stealth mobilizations.

Ukraine doesn’t need cash, just weapons and they will keep massacring Russian soldiers in avdiivka, vuhledar, , and kreminna…3 failed Russian offensives this year alone

What do you think the Ukrainian Army should do with the Russian speaking population once Putin takes his army back home?

Those places are part of Russia now and Putin will only withdraw his troops once he either meets his goals or Ukraine sues for peace.

One of the reasons why Russia crossed the border was to protect those Russian speakers in the Donbas from their own government because they didn’t accept to be ruled by the Nazi government. It’d be like Biden bombing people in Texas who don’t think that he’s the legitimate president. You think that would be okay?

The Ukrainians elected a Russian speaker as president.

That’s Zelenskyy.

He didn’t speak Ukrainian until he was president.

Most Ukrainians are bilingual in both Russian and Ukrainian. Some only speak Russian. They’re still Ukrainian and don’t want to be ruled from Moscow.
