So witkoff and kushner brought defense systems with them.

Ukraine sent its top team of scientists to attend the international science convention, where all the countries of the world gathered to compare their scientific achievements and plans. The scientists listened to the United States describe how they were another step closer to a cure for cancer, and the Russians were preparing a reactor to generate fusion energy, and Germany was inventing a car that runs on water. Soon, it was the Ukraine scientists’ turn to speak. “Well, we are preparing a space ship to fly to the sun.” This, of course was met with much ridicule. They were asked how they planned to
deal with the sun’s extreme heat. “Simple, we’re going at night!”

Before I came to this channel I’ve already seen the damage to Ukraine on another channel. It’s sad, the lies mentioned and live not counted. Just remember non of this needed to happen. Russia gave Ukraine to many opportunities at piece.
@DanielBritoist
If Ukrainians don’t have interceptors how they can shutdown all cruises missile?!!!
@Philip.K.D
It’s always the same pattern. The Ukrainians launch a massive offensive. The Russians fall back while unleashing a barrage of fire (missiles, glide bombs, artillery, drones); then, after a while, the attrition on the Ukrainian side becomes so severe that the offensive runs out of steam. The Russians then retake the ground, mopping up the remnants.
The result: minimal losses for the Russians, massive losses for the Ukrainians, and a return to square one—followed by a Russian advance that capitalizes on the Ukrainian rout.
@Robo_au-j9o
It’s no use asking US for missiles , they ran out in Iran and without Chinese Gallium Nitride GaN they have a bottle neck.
@ewalker1057
Ukraine’s leaders knew this would happen before they began their forty days of drone lunches into Russia. How has getting Russia to the negotiation table via drone strikes worked out for Ukraine? The images and videos coming in show Russia is not playin
@jelesstaats5130
How is it possible for Ukraine to re occupy an area overnight that took russia months to occupy, something is not right.g.
@flikcof7910
We need an ULTRA MEGA strike.
@michaellapalice3068
Boots on the ground say Russia is still in charge of all those areas, and in two days you will be hearing of the Ukrainians that where wiped out trying to take these settlements back, like always.
@petrucrisan3729
NICE TRAP THAT CONTRA-OFENSSIVE IN LYMAN. They are letting the Ukrainians exhaust all their resources, after which encirclement follows.
@Chet-p5v
Until all eight major bridges in Kiev are at the bottom of the river, it’s not a “massive strike”.
@77Tadeusz
The EU authorities are a mirror image of the Kyiv marginalization. A gang of layabouts heavily overpaid for doing nothing. Practically every meeting between Washington officials and representatives of the Russian authorities triggers an anxiety-driven panic in Brussels. Naturally, it is not a matter of “the Russians are coming” to purge the bureaucratic mold—Western Europe cannot count on that. The end of Ukraine is simply the end of the dream of endless meetings, conferences, reports, committees, and subcommittees, along with embezzlement within procurement for paperclips and printer ink—the end of a revolution on a pile of office paper.
Incidentally, quite by the way, while annihilating the Kyiv junta, the Russians are hammering at the lid of the Brussels neoliberal tin can. Its expiration date passed somewhere around the time Angela Merkel departed from politics. Now, as the can finally loses its seal, the Brussels stench will spread across all EU member states.
Kaja Kallas is merely an appendage to von der Leyen—something akin to a free refill of Cola to wash down the taste of a hamburger. When Ursula falls from her chair, Kaja will lose her ability to monetize her own incompetence. That is why, in her panicked mind, the local election result in a German lander is also a manifestation of “Russian aggression.” Kaja Kallas would gladly invalidate the AfD result; her organic devotion to the principles of democracy—which, naturally, functions best in Kyiv and Brussels—tells her as much.
@rhodium1096
Ukraine always talk the same lies about that they shot down all cruise missile and Dima thinks that we are fools?…I remember many times cruise missile attacking Yuzhmash and others while Ukrainian propaganda was talking that all cruise missile were shot down…
@RegisMichelLeclerc
Actually, when you attack the supplies, you first attack the water. In Sloviansk/Kramatorsk, the rivers are “industrial quality” (i.e. it’s poisonous), simply prevent water supplies to get there for a week or two, no need to attack, just prevent drinkable water from coming in. In 2 weeks time, simply finish the zombies and collect the cadavers.
The Ukrainians showed the way in 2014 by cutting the water to Crimea, time for the Russians what the Ukrainians taught.
@TosiekMosiek83
Honestly, constantly referring to every event as a “MEGA STRIKE” etc., is starting to sound more ridiculous than serious. With this kind of material, it’s probably better to simply describe what actually happened, rather than constantly hype things up.
