Welcome to the New Generation!
Question for the Comrades: Was no petrol and Russia on fire all part of the "plan"?
The American people are with Zelenskyy and Ukraine, not Russia.
Did the other guy not want to win the war ?
Surrender may be EXPECTED from the New Defense Minister of Ukraine 🇺🇦 😮😮😮😮😮:
Be honest about who is REALLY funding this war. In the last 5 years, Zelensky has visited all the NATO allies, which Ukraine is not part of, by the way, and begged for billions each year. Meantime, western Europe suddenly realizes it has to build up its military fast. Why? Is the UK aware of an iminent threat from Russia its keeping a secret from its public? Germany as well. The EU just handed him 90 billion euros to fend off a threat that is not going away. Russia doesnt talk peace. They talk bombs. Ask the people of Chechnia how effective the Russian mikitary is. The help Zelensky is getting from the west is just putting off tgs inevitable.
Meanwhile on the Ukraine battlefront, Hrafske has fallen to the Russian Army Group North as it pushes relentlessly toward Kharkiv..
We expect he will lose a lot of territory.
Stay strong Ukraine
