Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

OK, you are speaking like the Ukraine has infinite resources and tactically loosing ground just to deplete Russia. I'm sure that they have the plan to loose strategically important cities just for that.
US continue to back Ukraine? Please, do a reality check. While EU is only backing Ukraine halfheartedly and not even the entire EU.
You let the mask slip for a second there Sergei.
This is dumb. It's dependant on the mother tongue how and if a definitive article is being used with Ukraine. In German for example, you say "die Ukraine", and a natural translation into colloquial English results in the use of "the Ukraine". This doesn't mean to be a Sergei.
To a Ukrainian worried about the nation-state’s territorial integrity, that little word “the” might suggest that the speaker does not much care whether Ukraine is an independent state. Like it or not, and intentionally or not, the language a person uses reflects their political positions, including their position on Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty.
"The" before a place name is an odd choice, isn't it? There are really very few places (in English) that have it. "The Hague" being probably the best known. There's one locally here called "The Dalles".
Odd that it's so common in Spanish but not English.
The Gambia is another one.
I don't know, I see Ukraine vs the Ukraine in a similar light as Democrat Party vs Democratic Party. Yes, it's possible that it's an innocent mistake, but looking at everything else the person is saying, it's usually pretty clear when they have an ulterior motive.
The US is still sending weapons. Check that reality.
Of course Ukraine doesn’t have infinite resources but they are spending theirs much more wisely.
Russia is already a pathetic shadow of its former self and its only downhill from here. Broke bitches thinking they’ll own Europe hah.
US is selling weapons to European/NATO countries and even that is limited. On the other hand US is appeasing and siding with Putin wherever they can which speaks more than those profit from selling weapons.
Sure they do and at the same time they don't have enough of those. What is the endgame here? Hoping that Russia collapses somehow before they conquer whatever they are set to?
Hey Sergei, shouldn't you be digging a fresh latrine pit for Babushka? The old one is full, and the mighty Midget Pootang, needs it to recruit more of you trolls from :)
Yeah, but NO-ONE is backing ruzzia, Boris. Everyone hates you. You just have a few hangers on like India, China and NK who are only there to profit at your expense. These are the best friends money can buy, hey Boris? Ukraine, on the other hand, has many friends who are budgeting to support ruzzia for as long as it takes.
I'd say that ruzzia is going down a toilet, but there aren't many of those in the motherland, hey Boris? Still, ruzzia will look good in a latrine pit LOL.
In English you say 'losing', not 'loosing'. Hope that helps.
