Just some random youtubers take on whats going on, but its still interesting to listen to.
The amount of copium from Russian supporters here is off the charts. Just listen to Putin's speech, no mention of war, no mention of hey look we captured Kherson, Mariuopol, etc. They got their asses...
Trump was probably a Putin plant and had he been in power, Ukraine would have been finished. The chinese themselves are very pragmatic. They will take full advantage of Russia's weakness. They are gobbling up or will be gobbling up Russian resources for pennies on the dollar all the while...

US confirmation that the cruiser was indeed struck by the Ukrainians. Terrible loss for Putin and Russia. They will not be able to replace a ship of her size and class.
Hard to see how the russians are winning? They haven't even conquered Mariupol yet which is completely cut off. And word on the street is that they are ready to peace out of Kherson as well in order protect the roads to Crimea.
Not to mention the debacle in the North. pretty embarrassing to...
Just heard her on NPR this morning singing India's praises while the host kept pushing her to talk about possible consequences for india for not being a part of the international sanctions regime against Russia. The host actually called out Modi's undemocratic turn and she just brushed it off lol.
Talk about trolling.
Not surprised, ever since they got torn up near Kyiv and the NE, they are going to redeploy to the South and SE. Epic failure, Mariuopol still standing.
They have no choice. Thats the only thing they have to show for this sideshow. Even Kherson will be out of their hands soon. Terrible miscalculation on Putins part.
Its still not easy, Ukrainians have to show if they can adapt going on the offensive, its going to be a different ball game...
Another war criminal admitting his crimes.
Hopefully their able to counter attack towards crimea and cut off the Russian encirclement of mariupol from the East.
Russians keep embarassing themselves, Landing ships blowing up in docks far behind lines of control. Now the Kyiv encirclement troops are getting cut off and trapped into a pocket themselves. Still haven't taken full control of Mariupol, generals, colonels and staff officers shot and liquidated...

2 star General dead. How many staff officers have they lost already!!
Not sure if it was posted before. The aftermath of the bombing of Kherson.
Looks like the Russkies are falling out of Kherson. The attack on the UA barracks in Mikolaeyev a going away present.
There's pictures of Russian MLRS and IFVs digging into berms. Looks like their going full on...
If anything looking at the performance of the Russians in Ukraine, wouldn't be surprised if we see something similar from the Indians given that they receive the same equipment and likely have imported similar doctrines. Forget about 2 front war, they will be hard pressed to even deal with 1 front.
Heard there was a follow up assault with even more damage...
Erdogan just playing the game. I think their focused on indigenous development. I'm sure Russia is not happy with the Turks with regards to the TB-2 decimating their forces.
If anything, i anticipate possible thawing of relations...
Higher quality equipment captured by the Ukrainians.
Looks like the Russians are giving up on Kiev and instead focusing on their success to the South and South East. Odessa's capture will likely be the key focus for Putin before the peace talks conclude. Looks like their stalling to see if they...
Its not going well when not only the conscripts but the tough as nails Spetsnaz troops are getting captured/surrendering/destroyed. These are not cannon fodder. VDV is supposed to be an Elite force as well.

Analysis with original russian source, retired staff office.
Good read, this was posted before the invasion and predicts a lot of what is happening now. Don't forget the fact that Russian Senators have acknowledged losses in...
In what way will America be weaker?? Putin just strengthened the resolve of Nato, and they are more united than ever. Hey may have pushed Finland into the NATO fold as well, now Russia has to deal with being surrounded by more NATO countries right at his doorstep while his economy crumbles...
