I wonder if any russian ever questioned who gave Putin the right to destroy Ukraine, and then Russia.
The russian-orthodox church would have to explain some things, but I do not think it will survive either.

If they do it is done very deep inside them-It can be very dangerous to speak openly against this special operation

He wanted to un-nazificate Ukraine-He forgot his own country though.

Putin wanted a "win" and a buffer zone.

A buffer zone against what, ah, I don't know. Free trade and tourism?

It leaves Putin without excuses for his eventual failure. And gives Ukraine well deserved & ultimate bragging’ rights IF they succeed.

Like I said before we’ve had our Crispus Atticus, Boston Massacre, Bunker Hill, & Battle of Saratoga. So quit crying like a bunch of socialists expecting everything to be done by somebody else , get to work and mobilize ya biatches. You’ve had damn near thirty years to figure it out so put your lattes & ‘buy me a coffee’ scams to rest and let’s see some fookin’ results.

A Russian soldier from the 138th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, Andrei Yurgens, was captured in Vovchansk. He said that his brigade, together with the 25th Motor Rifle Brigade, had the task of capturing Vovchansk "in two days." In the area of Vovchansk, the Ukrainian defense has been significantly strengthened, strikes against the enemy are becoming more effective. The Russians are unable to drive out our troops from positions in and around the city. The Russian offensive in the northern part of Kharkiv region has been significantly slowed down. The Russian attack groups have suffered losses but have not yet been defeated, heavy fighting continues. https://twitter.com/Gerashchenko_en/...58382046367960

Russians are most active on Pokrovsk front – Ukraine's General Staff

The highest activity of Russian troops is currently observed on the Pokrovsk front (Donetsk Oblast). It is reported that the Russian forces continue to increase their efforts on the Pokrovsk front. The number of combat clashes there increased to 30. The Russians, supported by aircraft, were operating near the settlement of Umanske. In general, the Russians continue offensive actions on the contact line, while Ukrainian soldiers hold the line of defence and respond firmly to Russian actions. The number of combat classes increased to 79 over the course of the day. Ukrainian troops continue to resist the Russian invasion in Kharkiv Oblast, where the occupiers have attacked Ukrainian positions five times since the beginning of the day. In particular, the Russians are trying to assault Ukrainian troops near the town of Vovchansk. Supported by aircraft, they are attacking in the area of Lyptsi, Vesele and Udy.

As a result of the fighting in this area, the Rusians lost 35 soldiers killed and injured, and 14 pieces of equipment were destroyed. Another Russian attack took place on the Kupiansk front. As of now, a total of four combat clashes have taken place there.

• On the Lyman front, the Russians slightly increased the intensity of hostilities. The number of attacks increased to five, one of which is still ongoing.

The situation on other fronts has not changed significantly. Quote: "Ukrainian soldiers continue to hold back the enemy along the entire contact line and inflict heavy losses on them." https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/05/16/7456108/
