This is huge! For the first time in over two years, Ukraine has begun taking back their land, resulting in a net territorial gain in February, according to Finnish OSI group Blackbird.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

@randahl This is not coming for free though as expenditures of Europe+US surpass €300 bn and death toll is in the several hundreds of thousands.
This is not a football match

@genziana @randahl

nobody serious thinks it is a football match or even remotely implied that

this is ethnofascist mass murdering imperialism vs a people defending their lives and their lands

we're allowed to rejoice in their successes without being accused of being mere football spectators

@benroyce @randahl No accusations - just reminding that reaching the peace is not a matter of sq. kms but of dialogue

@genziana @randahl

tell the kremlin that, not us

putin and the kremlin have shown time and time and time again that dialog does not work. they are dishonorable. they keep no agreements. they have no intention of meeting peace. for them, dialog is just a tactic to twist to their advantage, and any "peace "is temporary in order for them to rearm, and then attack again on a stupid lie

you are very naive, or straight up lying, about what putin and the kremlin are and what they represent

@benroyce @randahl Yours is a very simplistic view of the events unfolding. It's in your rights to take the parts of Ukraine, however it is undeniable that this war is also a consequence of exploiting the change of leadership in Ukraine to turn it into a US-NATO outpost . Russia escalated the war, but this was not the only cause. EU is intentionally stalling the negotiations by proposing unfeisable terms such as european army presence in Ukraine

@genziana @randahl

😂 😂 😂

vatniks are so fucking easy to sniff out

NATO did not expand east, geopolitics professor

eastern europe ran screaming and pounding on the door to be let in

if you figure out why, what worried them, you might begin to catch a glimmer of honesty apart from your "blame the victim" stupid easy bullshit you push here

bullshit that you fell for as a pathetic moron lapping up hilarious kremlin lies

or that you are pushing here as the putin boot licking loser you are

@benroyce @randahl Wow! Labeling thoughts different than yours as foreign propaganda is not unprecedented.
I'm sorry that you are getting angry - but this will not change the real world. I invite you and who is reading to read more about the history of Eastern Europe from qualified sources and most importantly start reflecting a bit on the mechanisms that cause wars

@genziana @benroyce @randahl

Read what you wrote, man. That wasn't just a difference in opinion, you were straight up repeating Kremlin propaganda. Their demands are the ones that are unreasonable, and Europe and Ukraine are right to reject them. Russia has to stop preying on other countries.

@mcv @randahl @benroyce Yes, it will suck to give land and concessions to Russia, especially since they got there by war. If you open any history book you'll learn that peace is reached by giving something to the winner which as of now is Russia. The problem is that nobody except (strange I know) the US is trying to bridge between the parts. War sucks and the West wanted it, now it lost it. I'm sorry the Ukraininans got sucked up in a game bigger than them

@genziana @mcv @randahl

why are you such a bad liar?

who listens to you?

what kind of sheltered clueless moron reads your words and goes "oh yes, that is reality"

do you think we are gopniks on the streets of omsk?

who are you to push such incredibly stupid lies and expect anything except ridicule?

@genziana @benroyce @randahl

Nobody wanted this war except Putin. I know he pays you to pretend otherwise, but nobody believes that.

Get better material.
