"As for the potential negotiations, the bottom line is that Russia will have to withdraw from all the areas it has occupied. The discussions are largely about the reparations and sanctions."

Nar, Lol.
Ukraine will run out of troops, weapons and cash before Russia does and will have to accept Russian terms, unconditional surrender as well as agree to the loss of territory, and more it will yet take, No NATO, limits on size of military, No Nazis, and leadership not hostile to Russia which I can tell you are going to hurt so badly that no Ukrainian leader may be able to accept them, but they won't have much choice.

Russia is achieving it's military goals.
Russia has largely destroyed the Ukrainians military already.
It's mostly all downhill from here.

You've got to be kidding me Lol

>>BOMBSHELL: There was no counteroffensive! It was a psychological operation to fool the Russians to think that there was one!<<

Tell it to the Ukrainians rotting in the fields at Robotyne
- Near the Bradley and Leopard 2 graveyard.

Russians have crossed the train lines, entered Stepove and repelled the Ukrainian counter attacks.
Well see if they can hold this small village and continue to make further advances.
This could be the beginning of the fall of Avdeevka.

Baldrick,

You've been droning on about how Ukraine's army has been destroyed for more than a year, yet somehow the Russians keep getting the crap kicked out of them. The Orcs are not in Stepove, they might have crossed the railway but for a massive loss in men and machinery and the fields are full of rotting Russians. Their gains are a fraction of what Ukraine has recently gained in Kherson and Zaporizhia.

Russians have lost so much equipment that they are sending in T55s and are now begging other countries to sell them back the arms they supplied to them previously.

Dream on, Russia has lost one brand new ship and recently another 2 small landing vessels. The small missile carrier that was not sunk is so badly damaged that it would be easier to build a new one.

Russia's economy is running huge deficits and will run out of reserves shortly.

"You've been droning on about how Ukraine's army has been destroyed for more than a year, yet somehow the Russians keep getting the crap kicked out of them."
- It's happening slowly, it will reach a tipping point and then happen quickly.

- Umm, yes they are...

"Their gains are a fraction of what Ukraine has recently gained in Kherson and Zaporizhia."
Kherson is at a stalemate, neither side can do much right now - the front line aside, it's a battle for the middle ground atm; artillery, and drones - whoever wins there may gain an edge to advance further.

What's going on in Zaporizhia?

Baldrick,

You have boldly declared Russian victories so often that it is not funny. That nearly all of them were bollocks coming from the Russian propaganda sites shows that only an idiot such as yourself would keep on believing them.

If Russia is doing so well why is it begging for the weapons it sold to be returned? It has in the last month or so lost well over 200 tanks and APS, 7 SU25s 15 helicopters and about 5000 men. Russia is conscripting another 400,000 men because the 300,000 previously conscripted are mostly dead or wounded.

If you haven't been following what is happening in Kherson or Zaporizhia you need to look as Ukraine is making slow but steady progress on both fronts.

When the long-range ATACMS arrive the Kerch bridge will be toast, and Ukraine is building scores of long-range stealth drones to take out Russian infrastructure all through western Russia.

Russia is losing this war.
