According to past examples, the shift of American public opinion generally only increases when the war loses hope of winning. But now, there are still many people who maintain the illusion of winning. When the $40 billion is exhausted, Americans and Westerners will calm down. Following the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, there will be another failure in Ukraine. Musk said: “Biden’s mistake is that he thinks he was elected to change the country, but… Read more »
Most Americans do not care about wars,if it do affect them personally,as long as Russian bombs,are not dropping on the US,they will tolerate them dropping on Ukraine, foreign wars are usually the policy of the US President in charge Google Musk Exposed
I do not see a clear victory on either side,but misery on both sides
The outcome of a war is always so complex that in the end each side may claim victory.But the catastrophe it caused was real.
The energy and food crises caused by this war, and the resurrection of the geopolitics specter, will continue to affect everyone on the planet.
The US throw away enough food to feed many nations in one day,their have never been mass starvation in the US in modern time,I go too the local market,they prepare food that will never be sold,that is a high end price,your first visit to the US , should be at a local grocery store,some are large as football stadium,with endless supplies of Food Google HEB
People have to face the truth about anything, whether you like it or not Ukrainain had a lots of problems,before the war,that they were not dealing with,this war made thing even worse, blaming the world for the action of Putin,is not helpful in the long run,only the people of Ukraine can solve their problem with Russia, dependent on others,they will never grow as a nation
yes, agree.
We have lots racial problem in our country still,but single out a group for hatred for the action of a few is still frown upon,the US is made up almost every nation in the world,they are allowed to practice their culture within the bound of US law
I think you are an idealist. But that may have changed. Objections are no longer easy to express.
For example, Trump has been silenced by many social medias.
Perhaps soon, the removal of comments and muting will become a law. Media managers will explain that people who violate the law will be silenced, and comments that violate the law will be deleted.
I am realistic,most national fervor,is driving by idealism,this not the time and place for Ukrainian to idealistic about ideas,that their universal support for them,in the world ,most of their leaders are very conscious about what the world think about them,they were very upset by the editorial board of American newspaper,we have a free press,that is independent from the government or government censorship Google New York Times Ukraine

Combat Fatigue has set in at this site, people are not so gun ho,this typical of most wars, whether you are a participant or observer,even though this war do not have any personal outcomes of lots of people lives,this war will impact ,lives in a substantial way,if if do feel free to share it here

That there are trolls here was to be expected. Lies do not become true by repeating them over and over again. This war was long planned before 2014, who does not see that I’m sorry. The West did not want to see that, because it was interested in cheap gas and oil. Are there any who wanted a nationalist Ukraine? Possibly, no more and no less than in any other country where there is a… Read more »
The first law of nature is self preservation,these countries had gas and oil contract decade ,when Ukraine was still part of the USSR, Ukraine acted as a middle man transient oil and gas for Russia even now as the bomb fall on Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian have always had a dysfunctional relationship,now and till the end
@EPUNKT
what you said is Putin started the war for himself, not for the Russians?
I want you to read something,it our faray in Afghanistan,the Afghanistan had ghost soldiers,that were none existence,but got US aid to pay them and commanders and government officials pocketed the money Google Aghanistan IG Report
@YRRAL
I know this, I know a coffee mug is worth $1,200.
I not against helping any countries that need American help,lots of American do not like corrupt government , continue to oppress others,like we give Israel and Egypt , Israel oppress Palestinian and Egypt oppress it own people,with the aid the American taxpayer give,this 40 billion in this aid package,will only prolong this war months for Ukraine, without any gains sufficient to expel Russian
Why is Ukraine under martial law,which is undemocratic,is Zelensky insecure most able bodied men , would flee Ukraine,lots of people will never come back to Ukraine and trade their greener pastures for misery, countries offering you 3 years of free lodging,free education,and a path to citizen ship
I think everyone is aware of this fact and it just results in more casualties. It is hoped that the Ukrainians will drive out the Russians in the same way that Afghanistan drives out the US. But there are clear differences between the two: First, in my impression, the US never won when it mostly relied on the Ground Based Unit. Such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War. The Russian Ground Based Unit hardly… Read more »
sorry, ‘the Ground Based Unit“ should be “army, ground force, land force”
That’s exactly what it is. Because the Russians who will be better off after this war than before it can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Russian have not been better off ,in 100 of years
The Afghanistan government fail the people of Afghanistan,they were so keen on corruption,the US pulled the plug on the war,the US military is a hunter killer army,it goal is too confront the enemy man to man in own combat,not hiding in ditches, waiting for the enemy to appear,it cost 100 thousand dollars to maintain a fighting American soldiers,US is getting ready to dispatch 500 of their best soldiers to fight 10 of thousands of Somalia… Read more »
3 thing people should learn before accepting US aid, beggars cannot be choosy,do not bite the hand that feed you,God help those,who help themselves,maybe the Ukrainian government would learn this
I know the A130, it has strong firepower. Air superiority is especially important. An army without an air force is a guerrilla. The guerrillas also have the possibility or chance of victory, and the most important thing is that they must have the ability to penetrate the enemy’s control area. How did the Ukrainians get behind the Russian lines? I don’t think they have this ability.

??
I am the most anti Putin person here,I am not here be to spin the Ukrainian government opinion people in Ukraine do not think too much of their is own,with million leaving for greener pastures,if lots of Ukrainain men could leave,they would leave ,if you supported your government in Ukraine,you would be here supporting especially you down voters,only insecure people need others to validate their existence
Ukraine government is a basket case,lack the ability to do anything, without others,total dependent on the mercy of others,one of the first step is accept responsibility for it own people welfare
Are you a provocateur? There is a war in Ukraine and most Ukrainians were not ready, and so is the current political leadership, there were mistakes and there will be more, but as far as I can see, both the people and the political leadership are learning quickly.Talking about responsibility at this point is absolutely unnecessary
Owning up too one mistake,and blaming others ,while not taking responsibility,is not a lesson learned
Why is that amount of detail so important to you? Obviously they surrendered. In fact it seems Ukraine is trading all Azovstal troops with Russian POW’s and the wasteland that once was Mariupul is completely handed to Russia. Maybe this will free up some troops for Russia’s offense, but as I see it, most of them moved on already. Most significant impact might be slightly a dented morale for Ukrainian units.
@P Zelensky said that “the main thing for Ukraine is saving the lives of its servicemen.” Before the surrender of the Azovstal every military man in this war would consider himself a coward if he surrendered. Now every military man in this war (both sides) can honourable surrender if he is low on food, low on ammo or cares for his wounded colleagues. Zelensky said that “the main thing for Ukraine is saving the lives… Read more »
To the northeast of Avdiivka, Novoselivka fell and the H20 highway was cut off. You can correct me if my message is wrong.
If true Avdiivka would be a big blow in my opinion.
“Novoselivka fell and the H20 highway was cut off.” It’s a tiny village slightly north of Donetsk. Cutting of the highway there doesn’t do that much apart from blocking supplies to Avdiivka from one side (which apparently fell already). I guess you gotta make the most of it…
You address me to go get a room in Moscow,I never or will be a supporter of Putin war,I am American,an American do not take kindly of others to tell what they should ,do I see all the hell Putin ,has brought to Ukraine, American has great influence on shaping other American opinion on issues like supporting Ukraine
They say the first casualty of war,is the truth,it not the job of the government to protect people from the truth,the Ukrainlan government has not been truthful about Ukrainian death on the field of battle,during the war in Vietnam,their was a daily death count of US troops Google Ukrainian Military Death
@YRRAL
Real data could lead to a breakdown in the morale and a failure in conscription. If women who lost their husbands riot, it could topple the government
What is your beef,with Ukraine,my beef is some of leaders of Ukraine,blaming others for their failures,blaming the rest of the world for their shortcomings of leadership, Ukraine had a lots of problems,before the war,this war made them only worst,they say 90 percentage of the people in Ukraine will be in poverty,if this war last one year,what country,you hail from Google Ukraine War Poverty
If this war lasts a year with losses on the battlefield and the Russian population will return to Stalin’s time, I am talking about the standard of living.
A mature government should he straightforward with it people,an not mislead them ,if the Ukrainlan government will not tell the truth too,the world will know,I do not think the Ukrainlan government has been truthful too the US or the American people
@YRRAL If you pay attention to my comments, you will notice that I rarely mention Ukraine itself. My focus is on the hostile struggle between the US and Russia. They thought of each other as enemies, possibly starting one hundred years ago. I can add something to your question. The Ukrainian government has never told the truth. It has been like this since the birth of the country Ukraine. Their government has been encouraging ethnic… Read more »
@YRRAL
If you delve into the hatred between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians, it’s a very long history. After Ukraine became independent, they had a chance to shake hands and live together in one country. But unfortunately, in Ukraine, there has not been a strong and mature politician with great political skills。
Russian are not hated in the US,they are protected like all US citizens,we have strong laws against racist hatred in the US, Russian are not being single out in the US,and should not be persecuted in Ukraine,if they are not aiding Russian in the war
I think it very immature of Ukrainain,that hold these beliefs, especially when their country is in peril like this ,when national unity is needed against Russia,are you a Russian citizen
No, I am not Russian. I come from a third conutry.
They say Russian have encircle 16000 , Ukrainian in the east,this from an American news service Foxnews,not a fan of mime, your writing is excellent for a foreigner Google Foxnews Russian Ukraine Encircle
@YRRAL The WUF troops are technically not encircled. The article mentions the 16,000 troops in Lysyschansk and Sievierodonetsk. There’s a 30 km gap, from Popasna towards Yampil/Zarichne, but The RUF can cover that whole area with artillery. So it will be hard to bring in supplies and the WUF can only retreat in small groups, and RUF is pushing from Popasna northwards. The RUF took Orikhove today and shelled Zolote and Hirske

Can Ukrainian do anything that do not include others,they asking the world to prosecute Russian soldiers,could it be they do not trust their corrupt judicial system
I hope you someday come to America,and experience all the blessings of American
@YRAL Thank you so much for the invitation, I hope it will happen one day. I am also following America because of this war. America has a long history while Ukraine as a country has a short history. The American legal system and political system has a very long history, so you can see hate is not mainstream now. But there have been similar experiences in Ukraine, such as the Civil War, ethnic struggles, and… Read more »
“in Ukraine” maybe change to “like Ukraine”. (I’m poor in English)

@P
Once an attack begins, it is difficult to end. Like this war, so hopefully we can discuss, not attack.
@DAVIDC
NO. He can’t. two reasons:
There will be strong objections and possibly offensive remarks.
The war has brought everyone in Europe and North America into one camp or the other.
Especially the Western camp , if you don’t join them, then they will dislike on you every word and every day.
It was a negotiated swap for Russian POWs it was not a surrender, idiot
Hoping to see an advance toward and into Belgorod soon.
Do you think Ukrainian leadership would gamble like this? If Ukraine steps into Russian borders, that would give the Russians pretext for full mobilization. On one hand – mobilization could be very unpopular in Russia, but on the other hand, Russians might be motivated now that they are under attack… It could solve all their manpower issues. It would be very risky and the reaction of the Russian population to an attack or surrounding of… Read more »
But if they mobilize can they equip those people? Ukraine is being equipped by the west, with the USA about to lend-lease them stuff, meanwhile we saw Russians had underequipped their already small invasion force, i’ve seen VALs without any attachment nor mimetic paint on them, still using the stock iron sight. My opinion is that Russia isn’t mobilizing because they can’t equip them to begin with, i doubt a good propaganda campaign can’t turn… Read more »
This should count as an honourable surrender.
Please don’t use the “S” word, respectable circles frown upon it. Evacuation. Azovstal heroes have successfully completed their mission and now they are being successfully evacuated. Undoubtedly to some profoundly successful place.

Excellent report with details. Looks like the Russian invaders have lost the momentum once again, the second phase is going quite disastrous for Putin’s invading forces and we have not seen the tank battles we had anticipated in the Donbass region due to flat landscape and other advantages the Russian forces had, they had been unable to use any of the advantages. The scenario remains the same they utilized in Abkhazia and Samachablo regions of… Read more »
Important note on “including the prohibited cluster munitions and phosphorus bombs”: They are not prohibited. Not all countries signed the decree. Russia one of them. Ukraine a second. US a third. And of course a whole bunch of other nations.
I’m not even sure these tactics are deployed because of barbarity or simply because precision ammunition is not available / too expensive / requires better targeting. Probably a combination of both.

When have Russian ever played by rules,a great majority of Ukrainain live under Russian rules most of their of their lives,too deny this is too deny your existence
Only thing Russian has lost ,is precision guided missile, meaning they have to use dumb bomb ,which will bring more collateral damage to Ukraine city
And when will all these scenarios happen,maybe you should purchase a lottery ticket,with your vision of the future

I’m just waiting for official confirmation that UA crossed the SD river at Staryi Saltiv and liberated two towns east of the SD.
Yes. If its true, its very important.
Thanks for the report. Do we know much about the state of fortifications and the strength of Ukrainian forces between Pylypchatyne and Svitlodarsk? If Ukrainian forces can’t stop the Russian push to the south-west from Popasna, Svitlodarsk will be surrounded.
(The main Russian objective from Popasna is likely to cut off the T1302 and T0513 roads that link Bakhmut to Lysychansk, but surrounding Svitlodarsk would be a logical detour on the way to Bakhmut.)
That is not true. In reality, they’ve successfully exchanged wounded warriors from Azovstal for russian terrorists. There will be more clarification on the matter later, with Zelesnky speech.
