It was agreed back in February

meanwhile in the real world https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-no-deal-90-billion-ukraine-loan-viktor-orban-european-council/

And just wait till Germany, France, and UK have elections. You'll get a lot more Orbans in power in short order.

The civilian economy is currently being cannibalised to support the war economy.

Repeating nonsense over and over isn't going to make it true.

Oh, but you were just telling me that mainstream media has no idea what they're talking about and only an idiot would take them seriously. Looks like the reality is that you just cherry pick what fits with your narrative here. But let's play this game. Russian economy is slowing down, how does that compare to Europe?

Oh dear, that doesn't look good at all.

As you keep on ignoring all of the manpower committed to the war effort and hundreds of billions in equity given to the MIC.

Nobody is ignoring anything, you're being explained the basic fact that over 90% of the economy is not affected by this. Meanwhile, the war is actually helping boost domestic economy through contracts that create employment, and require new factories, reindustrialization, steel production, and so on. That's the whole Keynesian militarism that Europe keeps trying to do, but has no energy for. Keep huffing that copium, makes everything better I suppose.

The Telegraph is a right wing tabloid, they have consistently backed the Russian viewpoint in this war and have zero credibility.

It's the most rabidly anti Russian publication that has been consistently spreading Ukrainian propaganda. Absolutely hilarious how you claim they're pro Russian. Really highlights how delusional you really are.

The article is also behind a pay wall, I am not going out of my way to read this article that I am sure you have not even read.

Imagine being so internet illiterate that you don't even know how to paste a link into archive.ph, incredible stuff.

If all else fails pull out a straw man eh buddy, much easier to fight than a real opponent.

Oh, I'm sorry, but was it not you that kept braying that Ukraine took territory and that shows they're winning?

You then screamed that it was a war of attrition that I didn’t understand and that somehow losing territory is good for Russia?

Now, that's the actual straw man here because what I actually said is that minor changes in territory are irrelevant in this conflict because it's a conflict where the AFU is being attrited. There is no strategic significance to the gains Ukraine made, they're not going to change the direction of the war. But they do cost Ukraine precious troops which it should be saving given that it has a far lower population to work with. But I think we've already established that math isn't exactly your forte.

We’ve all been watching Russian soldiers being blown to bits in large groups for the last month.

Weird how the actual casualties favor Russia https://ukrainewarlosses.org/

The site that you dismissed because it doesn't fit with your fantasies actually provides their methodology. And you can watch a detailed explanation of how the data was sourced here https://youtu.be/LoiP5Rfpmpw

This fundamental intellectual dishonesty is why Russia are going to lose this war. They can’t even be honest with themselves.

Oh look more projection.
