    I can't understand how this 3rd rate , unpaid, General-less, unsupported , cowardly military is managing to consolidate for itself more territory daily . The city of Kherson has requested being taken into the Russian Federation. What sort of defeat is this ?

    Of course, maggot- Putin has wrecked the Nord Steam project and sanctioned himself. Silly little Russian.

    Next you'll be claiming that Brexit is a success and that Bozo Johnson is an honorable man.

    Wasn't this incursion supposed to be a walk in the park? A few days at the most to capture the capital city? What we actually have are massive Russian losses in material, equipment and manpower.A dispirited Russian army who soldiers are giving up the fight daily, after admitting they had been lied to. I have lost track but how many of these talented Russian Generals have been killed?

    In terms of capturing more territory daily, you are living in a wet dream.

    You should unplug Radio Zelensky once in a while. Ukraine is a little bit smaller since you made that post.

    You must be very proud of your 3rd rate Russian army who size and equipment wise should have taken the entire country in a matter of days. Its been one failure after another . Maybe you can explain these massive failures to us, after all Russia was supposed to have been the 2nd most powerful army in the world. Now they are the most powerful 3rd rate country.

    As I said- you should unplug Radio Zelensky once in a while- although I do appreciate that the establishment has made it nigh-on impossible for you to be exposed to anything else.

    Russia has lost, the lady has already sung. I will be the first to thank you and Comrade Putin for strengthening and increasing the presence and power of NATO. We couldn't have done it without your kind.

The combatants were elements of the Russian Armed Forces and Ukrainian Ground Forces. The battle lasted from 25 February 2022 to 2 April 2022 and ended with the withdrawal of Russian forces.

    Initially, Russian forces captured key areas to the north and west of Kyiv, leading to international speculation of the city's imminent fall. However, stiff Ukrainian resistance sapped the momentum. Poor Russian logistics and tactical decisions helped the defenders to thwart efforts at encirclement, and, after a month of protracted fighting, Ukrainian forces mounted successful counterattacks. Russians began to withdraw on 29 March; on 2 April, the Ukrainian authorities declared that Kyiv and its surrounding province were again under Ukrainian control. This was seen as a major setback for Russia, as taking Kyiv was one of the main objectives of their invasion.[39]

    They are already in a recession, though it may not be official yet. While a recession usually requires two down quarters, it begins with the initial downturn. There is nothing Russia can do about that, but the new question is whether this will be a depression, or just a severe recession.
