>>2863042>it's just random drone debris falling downAh but the Russian government doesn't claim this, they do acknowledge that these are successful strikes by Ukraine, albeit neither confirming nor denying theories for how Ukraine has such reach and ability to avoid Russian defences.
Even if we ignore everything else in my post about being far too reliant on Ukraine's civilians' unending compliance with permawar, there's still a problem with the tactic in that attacks on oil refineries introduce enough stress to keep the Russian population invested in the conflict, but not necessarily enough to cry uncle.
So a big part of theorising about Ukrainian victory is assuming that Ukraine can do the Taliban thing (again, HUGE amount of respect for Ukraine here) and just outlast the Russian population's interest in the conflict by fighting a cheap, low skill war for decades. However Ukraine is not fighting a cheap, low skill war at all. The population of the US probably wouldn't tire of the War on Terror if the Taliban were pulling off mini 9/11s every month/week/day and isn't that essentially what the drone strikes
even where they're least expected are intended to be?
So Ukraine collapse status?
>>2862774>two more weeksno, 40 more days.
>>2862937>I predict this war will last a couple decades40 days, actually!
>>2863113I mean I have to reject your point on the basis that the Russian military has sufficient manpower despite still having voluntary service for Ukraine.
As you mentioned earlier
>Putin just looked at him with a sigh said it's impossible for Russians to panic. I think it's possible for the population to take the conflict seriously and be motivated to fight it and win it, without turning it into a bloodsport that people ought to enjoy spectating.
A ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine would be the “worst-case scenario” for Kiev, threatening the country’s statehood, the head of Vladimir Zelensky’s favored arms manufacturer, Fire Point, has said.
Denis Shitlerman made the remarks in an interview with Ukrainian outlet LIGAnet published on Wednesday. The company, which has recently been embroiled in multiple corruption scandals, stands to profit from the conflict. Shtilerman argued that the fighting should continue regardless, insisting that a truce with Moscow would leave Ukraine in an even worse position.
He also questioned whether Kiev’s Western backers would honor any security commitments made as part of a ceasefire.
“Look, if a truce is reached, it would – most regrettably – be the worst-case scenario for our state. We must remember how the US and other countries treat their obligations,” Shitlerman said. “I am talking about international agreements in which they guarantee the territorial integrity and independence of other states. And what do we see? Nothing,” he added.
Shitlerman also claimed that Kiev would be abandoned and “forgotten” by its backers should the hostilities cease. The arms maker somewhat echoed Moscow’s view insofar as Russian officials have repeatedly warned that Ukraine is useful for the West only as a tool against Russia rather than anything else.
>>2863466Budanov was literally trained by the CIA. He's an asset.
>>2863456it was murica though, i trust hersh on that
>>2863466dude gets fatter everytime hes on camera
>>2863487anti-zigger anons will ignore this and fake grillpill will talk about how much cock he sucked recently
>>2863456UA had a motive and they have the mindset to do it, however i too believe Hersh was correct as Biden and Trump basically both admitted it at one point. DK & SE acted in the aftermath very suspicious (to put it mildly) with regards to on-site investigations, which fits well with Hersh's version too.
>>2863384>Shitlermanoh wow
>>2863500It actually proves that ukrainian proles are more human than russians since they rise up against the bourgeois using them for war instead of being eternally cucked
>Ukranian nazi regime getting more protests than Russia
Lamo
>>2863539Nazi regimes don't get protests they imprison everyone doing this kinda like when putin the pinochet praiser cracked down on the russian anti war movement and made criticism of the war illegal with the threat of 15 years of prison
>>2863487>"Glory to the TCC."Humiliation ritual
>>286306412 more years
of not having gasoline. I heard russian ambulances have no fuel and people are dying before reaching the hospital.
>>2863588it's true they're even burning the patients for fuel just to get to the next one
>>2863541The only reason these young men were not killed or sent to prison is because they are of fighting age, and the army needs the bodies.
>>2863576>Humiliation ritualAlways is with these freaks. It's so vile.
>>2863538>>2863541>them protesting and getting years thrown into prison for it proves russia is worse i am very smartno it doesnt. but it does make pro-ukrops look hypocritical as fuck lol. fake grillpill also stating he had no problems with the tcc and not getting the hint was also quite hilarious tbh.
>>2863669and it also proves that "ukraine should lose but russia shouldnt win" is really the only decent position you can hold as a communist. its dialectical you see
Due to being a sex tourist allegedly fleeing his boring life back home, I think I’ll refer to not-grillpill as.. grillTHRILL
The fuck is that guy at anyway? Fleeing Lvov perhaps?
>>2863576I don't know who thought it was a great idea to parade arrested people on the street, and forcing them to praise the same institution that they detested, but this will only increase the general resentment.
>>2863678maybe he was busy beating those young men asses in Lvov.
People suspected of taking part in an anti-draft riot in Lviv, Ukraine were apparently intimidated into apologizing on camera, according to disturbing videos shared by military-linked activists.
The unrest in the western Ukrainian city occurred Wednesday, when dozens of people attacked a draft patrol that allegedly abused a potential recruit. The footage suggests that extrajudicial measures were subsequently used to suppress discontent.
One video that went viral on Thursday shows a visibly shaken young man on the verge of tears admitting to wrongdoing and saying he would accept any punishment. It appears to have been filmed in a secluded location and was released by a serving military officer following a “disciplinary conversation” with the alleged rioter.
Another video published by a military veteran shows a group of young men being forced to shout “glory to the TCK” and apologize. Ukrainian military offices that enforce compulsory conscription are known as Territorial Centers of Recruitment and Social Support (TCK).
The veteran wrote that Lviv will not be allowed to become the “planet of the apes.” He suggested that the harsher parts of the “disciplinary conversation” could not be posted because Facebook would censor them, and threatened “more terrifying things” for those who played a more active role in the disturbance. He added that legal proceedings could follow if officials decide to pursue them.
https://swentr.site/russia/642830-anti-conscription-rioters-crackdown/>>2863729I’ve noticed in the footage of drone strikes on those tankers in the Azov Sea trying to ship supplies to Crimea, they all targeted the bridge rather than the cargo itself.
Which should be risky because these are Le SpoOkY ShADow fLeeT tankers that have a multinational crew, Russian crew often even being the minority and thus purposely targeting the bridge is almost certainly going to result in killing non-Russian civilians, but then I remember the Ukrainians already killed a crew of Azerbaijanis like this to absolutely no consequence.
>>2863588Doubt it as even in crimea authorities have plenty of gasoline. Its civilians who suffer.
>>2863541>Nazi regimes don't get protests they imprison everyone doingthose youngster are getting something worse than prison: they are getting mobilized.
>>2863588it's been one month since the restrictions started to be eased in Russia.
and the regions like Oryol with restrictions still, are considering to lift them. the only one not considering to lifting the restriction is Crimea.
but Crimeans endured like 7 years without water because of the banderite regime. this is a lesser nuisance for them.
>>2863680that'd be really funny, tbqfh. to replace the capital of ukraine with lvov would be the last nail on the coffin of a state once known as 'ukraine'.
>>2863746>Le SpoOkY ShADow fLeeT tankersThey are in the shadows and you're laughing?
> "To the question: 'Do you feel the impact of the mid-strikes operations on the front?', most of UP's interlocutors among commanders and servicemen of various levels—from the Konstantynivka, Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Aleksandriya, and Pokrovsk directions—helplessly shrug their shoulders.
>"No effect, absolutely none," a UP officer from the 19th Corps, operating in the Konstantynivka direction, tells UP.
>"What mid-strikes? We're paratroopers; the only thing we can feel on our own skin is Russian 'Molniyas' and FPVs," a reconnaissance soldier from one of the DShV (Air Assault Troops) brigades, which is currently conducting offensive operations in the Aleksandriya direction, replies to UP."
>"Everything happening now in Konstas (Konstantynivka) is one-to-one what was happening in Pokrovsk a year ago. There, my unit was held until the end in the Shakhterska district. They told us that clearances were ongoing, but we saw what it all looked like," recalls a UP interlocutor from the 5th Assault Brigade about Pokrovsk in 2025.
>"They are hunting pilots; we can't bring them into the city—they simply can't work there. We value infantry, we're raising their pay, but infantry without drone operators is nothing. Do you know how many pilots we've already lost in Konstas?" adds the serviceman."https://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/2026/07/08/8042933/ Would lenin be against the annexation of crimea? Why didnt russians in former ukrainian territories push for self determination themselves before annexation? Could it be that they saw ukraine as still a kind of part of current russian empire? Maybe ukraine is an opressed nation and russia is an opressor nation.
>>2864109(me)
Crimean russians were settlers while donbassian russians are opressed nation of sorts. Therefore donbassians are opressed nation that were opressed by ukr and then by russians.
I actually heard from some ukr historian boomer how russians arent a nation but an imperial ethnicity or something.
Did khrushev commit annexation by giving crimea to ukr? Why nobody reversed it? Why did Khrush spit on the established borders based on people's self determination?
