Armchair Critic said "Between the above 2 videos you'll understand that Ukrainian troop morale is extremely low, bordering on military collapse, refusal to follow orders and stand and fight, instead falling back without permission or surrendering if encircled. They don't even have any food, and wounded aren't being evacuated and are left to die."

Answer- Doesn't Zelensky care about his own people? It would be interesting to know what the Azov Battalion is doing at the moment, for perspective, although it's had it's leadership replaced as I understand.

Hi AC,

"It also tells you that Ukraine is not ready for peace yet, as they are in no position to negotiate or dictate any terms or least of all win back any territory militarily."

My view of this is that Russia's invasion has no justification whereas you might justify it on the basis of Ukraine having an illegitimate regime. So what then of Venezuela? Would the United States be justified in helping end a gangster regime and return Venezuela to democracy?

I just listened to an interview with the latest peace prize winner and note that Maduro has been in touch with Putin for assistance. "Peas in a pod." I thought.

And if we knew the cause then it will also be easier to find the remedy.
