#russian defeat

Let's remember how three years ago, against all expectations, Armed Forces of Ukraine beat Russian war criminal army's paratroopers at the Hostomel airport, destroying the russian plan right from the start. Russia LOST the battle of Kyiv. Ukraine won the battle for its independence already in the first days of the war, Ukraine, 2022. Source: TallbarFIN

P.S. The Kremlin promised useful fools at home and in the West that they would capture Kyiv in three days. Right now, Kremlin-serving traitors in Washington are trying to save Russian war criminals from defeat... Good russian friend is dead russian friend....

Jolly good! 🇬🇧

Ukraine will receive twice as many Challenger 2 tanks from the UK than London originally promised.

According to Prystaiko, the UK promised Ukraine 14 Challenger 2 tanks, but following the results of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Britain in February, it was agreed that this number would double.

President Zelenskyy obviously made a good impression during his visit to the UK.

These advanced tanks will be put to good use as Russia has inferior tanks and doesn’t know how to use them properly anyway.

Putin's army can't figure out how to use tanks, and the battlefield in Ukraine is littered with burnt wrecks

Russia's tanks were once seen as fearsome, formidable threats, but the war in Ukraine shows it doesn't know how to use them.

The Russian tank force has taken a beating. US officials have said on more than one occasion that Russia has likely lost as many as half its main battle tanks while fighting in Ukraine, if not more.

[ ... ]

Russia's staggering tank losses — which include the T-72, T-64, T-80, and T-90 tanks — can be attributed to its failure to provide adequate fire support in combat, military experts told Insider. The Russian tank force has also shown extremely little adaptability and common sense.

Some parts of Ukraine are cluttered with destroyed Russian tanks.

While much media attention lately has been devoted to fighting in the area around Bakhmut, Ukraine has been winning a major tank battle at Vuhledar.

This is footage from Vuhledar which features a Russian describing his unit’s rout in less than polite terms.

P.S. On July 16, 1990, the made big step away from Communist controlled Soviet Union...

16th July 1990: The Declaration of the State Sovereignty of Ukraine was approved by the recently elected parliament of the Ukrainian SSR by a vote of 355 ayes and 4 nays. This was the first step towards the independence of Ukraine, officially proclaimed on 24 August 1991.

The banner read “Kyiv vs Moscow!”

P.S. We do!!! By making the right investments and introducing modern technologies, Latvia does NOT need Russian oil and gas at all...! All the money we now give to our enemies would stay in our wallets...

Nearly 50 countries now generate more than 50 per cent of their electricity from renewable energy sources

P.S. In order to successfully defend itself, it is important for Ukraine to develop its own military industry in order to reduce its dependence on the politically weak and deeply corrupt West...Long-range weapons are very useful for striking deep into Russian territory...

Ukrainian fighter jet carries 4x R-73 AAMs. Despite the numerical superiority, the Russian aviation has failed miserably, losing the battle for air supremacy in Ukraine already at the first stage of the war, when Ukraine did not yet have modern air defense systems. Ukraine's old Soviet-era Mig-29s and Su-27s are quite successful against the formidable modern Russian air force. Russian aviation pilots are only able to successfully wage war against defenseless civilian targets...

Very Good Morning! Several Large Explosions and Fires are raging at the Port in the Crimean City of Feodosia on the Coast of the Black Sea, following Ukrainian Strikes against what is reported to be Russian and Iran Naval Vessels carrying Munitions; the Ukrainian Air Force is claiming to have Sunk the “Novocherkassk” (BDK-46), a Ropucha-Class Amphibious Landing Ship during the Attack.

P.S. While Trump and other idle talkers cool their mouths by engaging in lies and political demagoguery, Ukraine is effectively destroying - the military resources of the criminal regimes of Russia and Iran....The only way to achieve peace is to completely destroy the Russian army, navy and industrial resources throughout the territory of Russia....
