Noting also the many stories and Telegram videos while the fight for Mariupol was underway in 2022 of Russia bringing portable crematoriums not just for usage on executed civilians of Mariupol, but even on their own soldiers so that the dead Russian soldier could just be described as 'missing' to the relatives back home and no death benefit paid.
Such as the Ukraine is full of Nazi supporters
Amused at how, now that Prigozhin is dead, some Russian media hosts are trying to convince the Russian people that Wagner never existed and was an invention of the West. Apparently they believe the Russians all forgot how Putin himself both praised the Wagner group and also admitted funding it for years.
I am also bemused to learn that within days of Prigozhin's death the crosses on the graves of Wagner fighters in their 4 main cemeteries were removed, as were the monument to Wagner stones, then all of those Wagner cemeteries were steam rolled and covered with thick asphalt to make them usable as parking lots.Doesn't matter,, people remember and the locations of Wagner graves are known.
President Zelinsky will be in the US this week and I have no doubt some new good news for Ukraine will result. Slave Ukraine.
With the talk of power cuts in the US due to Russian response, i wouldn't put it past the US govt to pull off power cuts and blame it on the Russian's... that's US style
Most Americans I know are in support of Ukraine. Yes the under-educated ones who still believe Donald Trump will return the power of White America to a pre-Civil Rights Act status (and who are also morally corrupt enough to believe that would be a good thing) blindly echo whatever he tells them to. But most Americans now see him as an idiotic butt kisser of Putin who is desperate to avoid his future decades in prison by any means necessary.
Support for the conflict in Ukraine will most probably continue until the last Russian is purged from it's borders, one way or the other. Most understand that at the current rate of western supply the Russian military will cease to exist by 2032. The commitment is made and political efforts asking Congress to authorize spending to make more munitions faster to supply Ukraine with are underway. Hopefully a few years can be shaved off. At the same time others in Europe make similar requests for munitions production increases of their own leaders. F-16s and Grippen fighters will be Ukraine by 2024 and personally I am sorry that those who stupidly still believe Tucker Carlson's claim Trump is the way caused the needless death of so many Ukrainian civilians and defenders by delaying those supplies. However the error is under correction.
Regarding Russia going all cuckoo and spastically throwing nukes at every Western capital (as if that wouldn't result in smouldering radioactive craters where St. Petersburg and Moscow, Rostov, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, etc used to be within 5 to 15 minutes after Russia's launch) don;t worry. Russia has (if Putin's minions bothered to spend the money to maintain it) their Perimeter system and we have our own equivalent (which is maintained).
Speaking of which, what is going on with those seized by unknown armed persons refineries outside Irkutsk that 'Inside Russia' was reporting on yesterday? Has the rebellion inside Russia already begun?
Let us never forget that before Barbarossa, Hitler and Stalin were best buddies and agreed about everything. Putin's apple did not roll far from Stalin's tree.

In other news it is agreed the US will begin supplying Ukraine with ATACMS long range missiles so that the consequences of invading a formerly peaceful neighbor can be better brought home to Moscow and other places inside Russia.
Only 6% of the US Senate & 5.3% of US Congressional Representatives.opposed continued aid to Ukraine.

It's much worse than Yves estimates. My (very rough) estimate:
( Comments section)
Population within Kiev controled territory
Starting point 34 million as of 2014
Less
5 million fled to Europe 2014-21
5 million fled to Europe 2022-23
3 million fled to Russia 2014-21
3 million fled to Russia 2022-23
7 million living in DPR, LPR, Crimea

11 million Remaining in Kiev controled Territory
N.B. The rippling impacts of war wounded and deaths last into the 3rd and 4th generations. It’s staggering when one understands how deeply damaging war is.
"Some 20,000 of the wounded Ukrainian soldiers have had amputations:
There are not nearly enough prosthetic specialists in Ukraine to handle the growing need, said Olha Rudneva, the head of the Superhumans center for rehabilitating Ukrainian military amputees. Before the war, she said, only five people in all of Ukraine had formal rehabilitation training for people with arm or hand amputations, which in normal circumstances are less common than legs and feet as those sometimes are amputated due to complications with diabetes or other illnesses.
Rudneva estimated that 20,000 Ukrainians have endured at least one amputation since the war began. The government does not say how many of those are soldiers, but blast injuries are among the most common in a war with a long front line.
The lack of medical doctors in Ukraine was already serious when the war began. The war made it worse. It will now worsen even more. Starting October 1 female doctors and pharmacist will have to register for potential mobilization with the military enlistment office. Many are now fleeing the country as they fear that their travel will soon be restricted (machine translation):
Note that many doctors and nurses have long had military ID cards. Another thing is that there was no special control over the military registration of women until recently. For pharmacists, the prospect of becoming liable for military service is a novelty. And on this occasion, as the head of the association "FarmRada" Elena Prudnikova told us, the mood in the profile environment is alarming. The main thing that both doctors and pharmacists fear is the risk of being banned from leaving Ukraine.
According to Prudnikova, over the past two weeks, thousands of pharmacists have left in a hurry.
"Pharmacy owners are in a panic, people write applications and leave for Europe before the borders are closed to them. Who will work is an open question, especially since the industry is already in a severe crisis," Prudnikova told us.
The Ukrainian army will soon field body armor for female soldiers. There are currently some 5,000 female soldiers near the front lines. That could change if the Ukrainian military starts to mobilize more women.
As more Ukrainian soldiers defect to the Russian side the number of war prisoners has increased to about 9,000.
Civilian casualties have been low. The UN has registered less than 10,000 killed and less that 17,000 wounded.
The mobilization has serious consequences for Ukraine's economy. It lacks the labor force that is needed to keep it running.
Usa is greedy.
Nato is stupid.
But Putin is a conqueror.
I don't like Western democracies.
Eastern democracies don't exist.
Putin will throw you of a building if he doesn't like you. The cia of whatever will do the same.
Putin can do that thousand times, the CIA can't.
We need to sort a lot in the economy. the usa stock exchange is overinflated. horrible.
But this end of cold war firework show is not the way to go.
Europe failed in stopping the usa warmachine. USA leadership was dumb and dreadful wrong.
Russia really went almost all in and i don't think that move was warranted.
In 2 years maybe half a million people died. And 500 billion dollar firework show
Understanding Ukraine is easy. The average citizen of Ukraine inside Ukraine wants absolutely nothing to do with Russia or things Russian. Most of the Ukrainians who feel otherwise have already gone to Russia, or died fighting for Russia.

Your ignorance is amazing. I do not not know what you smoke out there, but nothing is proven with a facts. I do not consider FAKES as a fact.
My mom is Ukrainian, my grandma Ukrainian. My father is Russian,my Grandfather is Russian.
I have spend half of my life in Ukraine because all my (on the mother's side relatives were living in Ukraine, both West and East and Krym.Right now my sister lives in Harkov (Ukraine)
And trust me they begging God every minute for Russians to come and to end that hell which Clown does to a regular citizens. You would obviously not to believe but 90% of Ukrainian population( including Zelensky and his Kvartal 95) think and speak Russian. They speak Ukrainian only in front of cameras.
I do not want to go into details.You do not give a shit about it, anyway.
All I can tell, you do not know NONE about Ukrainian people, what the majority of them really want. You live in USA so worry about your country and stop spreading hatred and lies.
I rest my case. Time will tell the truth
The survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology showed an absolute majority of Ukrainians in every region were opposed to their country giving away territory under any circumstances, even if this meant prolonging the war."
This was certainly the opinion I was left with when working in the Crimea. I guess feelings vary from region to region, but in 2006 there was visible disgust shown to Russian sailors in Sevastopol.
And, Yes, Jeffrey Sachs is on my list of a trusted ones
And I do believe that it is time to make a connection of Black Rock (along with NATO) to the events in Ukraine
Also - as regards Zelenskyy - he may have been legitimately elected, but he reneged on his primary promises: namely to end the conflict in Eastern Ukraine and to uphold the Minsk Accords. He ultimately did neither and - as noted - it was admitted by Angela Merkel that Ukraine actually had no interest in abiding by the Minsk Accords. They were essentially buying time and building up their military capability - something which Russia would obviously have viewed as a direct threat. I remember seeing a video from a few years back of Zelenskyy's closest advisor basically saying that war with Russia was inevitable and that Ukraine must prepare for this outcome. Can you imagine what Russia would have thought seeing this? Use your brain. Russia obviously would have started preparing also.
I don't agree with Russia's invasion. But the oft heard argument that it was 'unprovoked' is quite the stretch. Since 2014 Ukraine has basically been a vassal state of the U.S. military industrial complex. NATO has expanded eastwards for decades, despite prior promises to Russia not to do so. Ukraine becoming part of NATO was always an absolute red line for Russia, which is completely understandable. And yet that's precisely what the Biden administration was pushing for as soon as in office. This was probably the most avoidable war of our lifetime. Interfering in Ukraine for decades such as was done (primarily by the U.S.) was always likely to end in disaster. Don't fool yourself; for as much as propagandists in the West like to talk about 'democracy' - this is and always has been about empire. About expanding the U.S. military industrial complex's sphere of influence and control to within a country very rich in natural resources (Ukraine).
Let's pray for a swift end to this war and to start promoting togetherness and good relations instead of pushing conflict and division for monetary and military benefit.
Your comment above is filled with rational facts any logical sane person that more or less knew what was happening in Ukraine would agree to.
TBH, sometimes some of these members commenting give me the impression that they are trying their utmost to prove what a loyal and faithful patriot they are with word for word lies supplied by MSM that they alter slightly to give the impression of how intelligent they are. On the contrary, it shows how absolutely simplistic they are, parroting the msm and other Globalist financed sites.
I too was totally brainwashed with western propaganda but fortunately started asking questions from the proper sources and doing research.
I will always remain pro west, and regard the USA as a brilliant country, but with a skepticism that forces me to not believe blindly, especially what the msm spreads so earnestly.
This east vs west thing is purely man made and promoted by parties that only have their OWN interest at heart. This hatred toward the Russians by the Americans and vice versa is manufactured through msm and politicians fanning the flames.
If a dubious article reads: Scientific research has proven..... think for yourself.

Because those who wanted to fight, already ran away to Europe,North America.
I know, it is sounds like oxymoron. But those folks knew what's gonna happen. And they have had money to pay their way out of the country. There is no corruption in Ukraine, at all. Right?
My sisters 2 sons hiding for almost two years. But every time I call her or she calls, I expect to hear that they found them. It is a horrible feeling.
