Ukraine Is Kicking Russia's Ass [View all]

2 years ago I said that Ukraine will win the war. Putin has lost so many soldiers today he is promising money and Russian citizenship to anyone from any country to fight in Ukraine.

Putin wants a cease fire on May 9th.

I heard rumors that Ukraine was considering invading Crimea. Yesterday, Ukraine struck a key Russian oil facility deep into Russia showing how its use of drones has expanded the war.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-explosion-in-russia-s-perm-triggers-toxic-leak-white-mushroom-cloud-rises-overhead/ar-AA22597C?

Ukraine is now training other countries, training NATO troops in its battleground strategies and innovations.

If only our treasonous president and Magat Congress had provided Ukraine with significant air defenses, Ukraine could have mopped Russia's ass much sooner.

Yesterday Krasnov had a 90 minute phone call with Putin concerning the cease fire. After the phone call Krasnov put out a statement that Ukraine was defeated. Maybe Putin is setting the stage to withdraw and declare victory? Maybe Krasnov and the treasonous Magats in Congress will send military aid to Russia? Krasnov already released sanctions on Russian oil to give Putin monetary help.

Everything that Krasnov touches dies.
