You're quite the disappointment AC.

After I'd gently led you to understand how the Russians had straight-up lied about Russians in Ukraine being forced to give up their language, I thought you'd take that on board and learn a bit.

After you'd asserted that Lavrov wouldn't lie about such things and being shown via source documentation that indeed he'd had lied and led you (and all those gullible folk like you) down the garden path, I really thought you become more circumspect.

But instead we find you completely discarding that learning experience and returning to your penchant of believing absolutely everything that the Russians assert.

Disappointing.

Forget Ukraine. Try a western country instead.

"The demonstration came as President Emmanuel Macron held a crisis meeting with police chiefs and senior ministers, at which it was agreed to put an extra 40,000 officers on the streets."

- 40,000 extra? Must be serious.

That's how people in a liberal democracy respond to injustice AC. You don't see that in a brutal kleptocracy like Russia because you get jailed or killed if you complain.

Baldrick,

You are making outrageous claims about Ukrainian losses based on the statements of a person that has frequently lied and with zero evidence. The question of who is taking drugs is more focused on you.

Ukraine is constantly advancing, hammering Russian troops way behind the front lines, shooting down Russian helicopters and blowing up Russian tanks at a rate faster than Russians can replace them.

Now the US is likely to send their ATACMS rockets that can reach the Kursk bridge and Ukraine will get F16s shortly.

Russia is losing this war.

As I have been saying, Russia is burning through its reserves at about US$10bn a month.

MOSCOW, June 5 (Reuters) - Russia's federal budget revenues from oil and gas, the lifeblood of its economy, fell almost 36% in May from the same month last year and declined by 12% from April, the finance ministry said on Monday, as a result of a lower profit-based oil tax.

The decline in income from oil - a huge source of budget revenue - is likely to exacerbate an already high budget shortfall as Russia pursues what it calls its special military operation in Ukraine. It recorded a 3.4 trillion-rouble ($42 billion) deficit in the first four months of the year as spending rose and energy revenue fell.

Just more junk for Russia to blow up, like all the rest.
I think Ukraine lost 40 tanks is a single day, couple of days back.
Not exactly sure where you're going to get all these new weapons and a whole new military from, but it's going to run out very soon.
