I don't think Ukraine's strategy of sending drones to Moscow is a smart strategy. Militarily it is unwise.

It was used as an army barrack by Zelenskyy regime. Russians are attacking Ukrainian weapons depots and army barracks while Zelenskyy is attacking residential buildings with anti-aircraft missiles with long expired shelf life. Zelenskyy already hit Poland, Romania (a jet and a chopper were downed, 8 servicemen killed), Moldova, Belarus, numerous residential buildings and at least two children’s playgrounds inside Ukraine with these missiles. Western missiles which are sent there are also with either expired shelf life or very close to expiration date. It’s mindboggling how many buildings were hit and civilians killed (including two hapless Polish farmers) with this ongoing criminal lunacy of Zelenskyy regime. The chance of downing Russian missile is negligible in comparison with a risk of an accident with numerous civilian casualties. To give weapons to this war criminal Zelenskyy is like giving matches and gasoline to a serial arsonist.

American General Anthony Potts allegedly crashed with a plane in Maryland yesterday. Although it is well known that he was in Ukraine at that time. Most likely, he died as a result of a Russian strike among the instructors who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The overwhelming amоunt of approving and cheering соmments by ordinary Russians in response to videos about the atrocities committed against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were equally as shocking to Ukrainians as the war itself.
We somehow became accustomed to the war, but the realization of who we have been living alongsіde all this time without even knowing it is still horrifying.
Those sаvаgеs referred to themselves as our brоthеrs.
Just imagine what they would do to you, who they саІІ their enemies, if given the chanсе.

Engaging in negotіаtions with Russia is lіkе negotiating with ЕbоІа vіrus. That's why any реасе agreement lacking a clear victory for Ukraine is nothing but a temроrary сеаsеfire.

The situation is very psychological and from 1917 to today, and what is worse, it will be like this for a century ... This system cannot be reformed :( Vladimir Lenin was mentally ill, he believed that representative democracy is an illusion of real democracy and serves to maintain the bourgeois dictatorship. He cited the United States as an example of a bourgeois dictatorship. In his opinion, both parties of the US two-party system were run by "clever billionaires." Predictions of the perfection of socialism turned out to be wrong. Lenin's illness was that strong fear pushed to large-scale crime. What did Joseph Stalin do? It significantly deepened this psychological problem. People with a level of limited anxiety never commit crimes. And if the leader of the state is mentally ill, it only gets worse and worse... :( that's how it should be :) Since the USSR and to this day, the system from the Kremlin is like... literally a group of mentally ill people (now they drink alcohol) for comparison, it works like this, for comparison, you have to hit someone on the head with a hammer, What's worse, it can't be turned off or changed. Mentally ill Vladimir Lenin and mentally ill Vladimir Putin with mythomania disease. I will give you healthy Russians advice, run away from this country, it is pathology, your children, grandchildren will also be killed by the system prematurely. (C098)
