The Russian Army is the best army in the world at fighting women, children, and civilian infrastructure. Against a well trained and equipped enemy not so much.

For the record, Russian always win during winter ...😅 The lesson is quite simple.

[Shashank-ehyy]

It's not revenge. It's a bloody war

[marineforces]

obviously no one in Ukraine knows what war is all about !

[barrydonoghue]

Take a leaf out of Churchill's SOE playbook and set Russia ablaze from end to end! Bring the distant war home to them!

[alicenchang]

Dictatorship must not cross the borders of Russia

Dear western allies thank you so much for a way to save lives of innocent and defending our motherland from Vladolf Putler's slavery. For the right to protect freedom and democracy values.

"caught Russia by you think Russia didn't notice the days of Ukrqainian troop build up to all this? you don't think Russia already planned a withdrawal? you don't think the vast numbers of dead on the Ukrainian side compared to the light numbers on the Russian side indicate this was expected? Time will tell if this was a big Ukrainian victory or not, but judging by how Kherson turned out, I wouldn't celebrate quite yet.

What did Ukraine think was gonna happened for Russia to send flowers? 😂

[fronabulax]

Looks like the smo starts to become a real war. Now they apply Nato tactics by destroying all the power plants in ucraine.

[drumming-and-discipline]

There is a war going on there. Or didn't you know?

[nomadicroadrat]

Am surprised Russia has not done this sooner. But am sure Ukraine foresaw this.
Slava Ukraini.
At this point in this invasion this tactic smacks of desperation on Putin's part.

[njwsm]

Russia need to ask ukraine what to targetting?

[andrekondi]

Well done Russia that should have been done long time ago.

[samipan]

Long range weapons and anti missiles for Ukraine needed asap to protect the civilians.

[kalitocroatoan]

Did those Ukranian soldiers happen to mention that Ukraine lost 2000 troops during that offensive ? I call that a tragedy and not victory. 2000 lives lost just so Zelenskiy can show to his Western sponsors that their money and weapons are not going to waste. Everybody in Ukranian government knew that a lot of lives will be lost and yet they still did it

[sisqosylva]

Ukraine is defending their land. May God give them victory

[chrisricker]

Does UKRAINE know they are in a war no milk and cookies

[stevenbaer]

Ukrainians the entire world is actually behind you all the way. Slava Ukraini Slava Ukraini Slava Ukraini Slava Ukraini.🇺🇦🪖🇺🇲⚔️🪖🇺🇦✝️🙏🇺🇦🤔🇺🇦
