Two years after Russia launched its invasion, the fighting is shifting in its favor.
I haven't clicked thru yet but whether you interpret this as Russia's favor or Ukraine's favor, this statement is delusional
I mean when you've been peddling stories about Russia collapsing any day now for two years, you gotta pivot from that somehow.
"remember those 500,000 Russian soldiers we said were dead? well, turns out 90% of them were just resting."
dont say that, europeans already believe russians are pining for the fjords...
On May 10th of this year, with the war in a very different phase, Russia attacked again. The so-called “meat storm,” in which wave after wave of foot soldiers are sent into the line of fire—Western intelligence services estimate that the total number of Russian dead and wounded has surpassed half a million—remains a grim hallmark of Russian operations, but the military has adapted.
the so-called "meat storm"
But there is still no process for demobilizing troops, so those who are called up fear that they are being handed a one-way ticket—not an attractive prospect in a grinding war of attrition that, according to U.S. intelligence, has killed seventy thousand Ukrainian soldiers
are these really the numbers western propaganda is operating with? lol. lmao, even.
They crafted this whole narrative of incompetent Russian army that's on a verge of collapse over the past two years, and now they have to reconcile this with AFU visibly collapsing. I'm sure we'll be seeing olympic level mental gymnastics going forward.
It’s a psyop to trick the Russians into thinking they’re winning. The AFU is currently digging tunnels under the Donbas right now for a surprise attack
AFU is hamas 
Western intelligence services estimate that the total number of Russian dead and wounded has surpassed half a million
vs
a grinding war of attrition that, according to U.S. intelligence, has killed seventy thousand Ukrainian soldiers
Angloid propagandists love grouping together dead and wounded to make it seem that Russia is losing
I thought Ukraine was winning from the very start? Why is it shifting in Ukraine’s favor now lmao
Oh they're saying it's shifting into Russia's favor, but it's still not clear when they thought it was in Ukraine's favor to begin with.
It's due to Ukrainian morale dropping because they know you're not going to vote for Biden.
Even with a year’s worth of U.S. weapons on the way, Ukraine cannot count on future aid packages, particularly if Donald Trump becomes President again.
