Yes.
Don’t like it? Leave Ukraine.
They’re only attacking Russia in the interest of defending their country. Russia could easily make this all stop.
Look at the time. Whatever time it is of whatever day that you read this, Putin could stop this. Ukraine doesn't want to take over Russia! They want security. They want their country back. Putin could end this war at any moment, as soon as they abandon their illegal international invasion of Ukraine...
Fuck off putin
Oh shit did we accidentally send billions of dollars of aid and military hardware to Ukraine again?
Third time this year! Hate when that happens.
Well considering all the red lines that have been crossed you vowed annihilation to, and didn't, I think we can all safely say the Kremlin is just full of hot air
While the Ukrainian attack has revealed weaknesses in Russian defences and changed the public narrative of the conflict, Russian officials said Ukraine's "terrorist invasion" would not change the course of the war.
The tone in official Russian statements the last 2-3 weeks tells us something completely different.
Shit ain't fun no more when it shows that Ukraine were able to choose allies that are better than China, India and Iran, right?
Things might still end badly for Ukraine but they will not end up selling themselves cheap. Even if Russia were able to gain full control over Ukraine, the cost of keeping the control is way too high compared to what Russia can afford.
Putin tried to make history but it'll be Zelensky and the Ukrainian people who will be celebrated when this is all done. Putin is looking likely to be the face of the fall of the second Soviet Union (members: 1)
Putin will always be in the history books as the only one that has united so many European countries...

Hey, you forgot North Korea!
I thought this was "not the onion" at first. Like, yeah duh.
Putin accuses the West of doing something the West is openly doing complete with detailed press releases.

Another day of the week, huh?
🫡best tax dollars I've ever wasted.
Get rekt.
It's not wasted. It's an investment.
Sure. And we laugh about it a lot. What are you gonna do about it?
But if the help had come from North Korea or China, Vlad would have been fine with it.
He is fine with the aid he received, anyway.
Honestly, the North Korean artillery shells Russia has received prematurely wear out their barrels and have a higher chance of blowing up in those barrels. Given that Russian tank and artillery barrels are notoriously bad quality, the artillery men are probably at a higher risk of dying than their targets.
the artillery men are probably at a higher risk of dying than their targets.
I (unfortunately) think that is very much wishful thinking.
Why yes, yes we did.
Yes. Yes, we did. And what are you going to do, khuylo yebanyy?
I started a fight with people bigger than me and I got punched in the face. OOOOOOHHH noooooooo.
Fuck you Putin.
must be tuesday.
It's up to putins cook now. He can just add some of the good stuff 😜. Like lots of sleeping pills in the coffee, then direct injection of whatever you can find mixed with pee. Easy. Or a hammer to the legs and then to the head. See the reason you go for putins legs first is so that it hurts.
kemlin accuses others helping the shooting of the target they placed on their own back when they invaded another nation.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 10/19
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.
