Sunak saying ‘Slava Ukrainy’ kills me everytime, it’s about the only thing of his that I’ll miss after this election is done

They are not withdrawing. They are advancing westward!

[FordFalconnBlue]

impossible, russia ran out of tanks a year ago, had ran out of ammo and manpower and the ability to attack a year ago, and i was told ukraine ahs more tanks now than before the war due to always taking russias tanks, oh and ukraine has lost 30, 000 to 40, 000 men according to ukraines MOD and russia has lost 550, 000, so how is ukraine retreating and not going anywhere?

[thiefsleef]

Interesting to use "withdraw" instead of retreat LOL

22:00 While I agree that the US benefits from being the worlds police force, in no way should Europe countence a perpetual dependance on a rock solid US defeating any enemy Europe might face in open combat. This idea that the US benefits from being everyone's big bother so we don't have to worry about the bullies ourselves is the road to failed statehood.If the European states want to take their security seriously, put up or shut up.

War is hell! Innocent people dying from both sides

"For the birds" was such a succinct, cogent, and unexpected analysis, I was literally lol, cackling like an idiot alone in my apartment as midnight and curfew approach here in Kyiv. Well said.

I remember when 100 billion was a lot of money 😅

[codswallop]

Does this mean the pride parade will be cancelled in Kiev next year?

[tims]

Storm shadow is no longer in production 😢

What U.S. led Nato did 30 years ago in Yugoslavia isn't going to happen with Ukraine, Belarus or Russia. Three Slavs Far Too Far.

10:40 All this while the homeless in the West are given scraps and minimal supports..

[nidhoggcrowley]

How much of that 100 billion did Zelenskyy put up his nose?

It seems there are already so y two national governments in US, Biden's in Washington and Trump's in Mar a Lago. Foreign governments have to deal with both.

[tomgeorgearts]

Might as well have changed the intro already...!

East Chasiv Yar has more reason to celebrate the 4th of July than Americans do. At least there won't be any _🏳️‍🌈_ flying there today.

[stephencalcutt]

Wasn't it Russian paratroopers who advanced in Chasiv Yar?

Quoting western intelligence, an oxymoron
