Зеленський: Я готовий до діалогу, але не до капітуляції
Президент України Володимир Зеленський знову закликав президента Росії Володимира Путіна до діалогу, він згоден шукати компроміси, зокрема щодо НАТО, але не збирається капітулювати.www.pravda.com.ua
Moscow instead reported this as:
Looks like war is going to end in the next week or two. Again, we don't know Ukrainian losses or where the western weapons are stockpiled or sent in the country.
Where?
Yes you idiots complain about Nazis in Germany all the time despite Germany being a close friend of Turkey, lick total Nazi ass when it comes to Russia, preferring one Nazi over another. You are a muslim? the hypocrisy is huge.
The national guard of Ukraine (Don't think the national guard of Germany ever shared something so offensive), shared this video of the small volunteer unit of Azov on social media of them greasing bullets in lard, calling Kadyrovs muslim mercenaries 'orcs'. Which is a common western slur for muslims or brown people btw. The National Guard of Ukraine shared this video, which was an incredibly insensitive move to say the least. I mean, Putin is going full fascist but this is all ammunition for Putin to use and there are many in the West who'll agree with him.
Profile: Who are Ukraine’s far-right Azov regiment?
The regiment, which has been accused of neo-Nazi ties, has since been absorbed in the national army.www.aljazeera.com
Why Azov should not be designated a foreign terrorist organization
The authors of a recent New York Times op-ed produce no clear proof of ongoing links between American right-wing terrorists and a unit within Ukraine’s Interior Ministry.www.atlanticcouncil.org
U.S. Congress Accidentally Boosted Ukraine’s Far-Right
A member of Congress wrote to the State Department calling out Ukraine’s Azov movement as terrorists. It backfired.foreignpolicy.com
Don’t Designate Azov.

E.t.c. will lead to some concessions in favour of Putin at some point as Western voters care about these things, like weapon support e.t.c.
I shared it here because it is relevant to analysis - both components of the West and Russia will probably begin emphasizing Nazi symbology on the Ukrainian side and it will have an effect on the war in terms of how support is given - I expect the south where the majority of the Azov battalion is to have their weapon support completely withdrawn and it will cost them ground. People will notice Nazi symbols and ask more and more questions, even if its just a small amount. No javelins for Azov. Like in Syria, weapon flows can be altered based on the activity of who received them and it will be a detriment.
Secondly, how is me pointing out that some Ukrainian soldiers are wearing Nazi symbols is somehow against Turkey's interests ? What the hell does Turkey have to do with this ? Turkey is completely and utterly irrelevant to what I said.
My position is in support of Ukraine, my posts early on said we are only seeing the Ukrainian side on social media and without increased and faster western support, Putin will likely take half of Ukraine and possibly survive, or at least all the energy on the sea and coast. Not sure how that's in support of Russia, I support increased western intervention otherwise this is going to be another Syria situation and Ukraine will eventually cease to exist in any meaningful way.
Shouldn't you just copy paste for twitter threads on here instead Glass? Or even better, nothing at all? If fools are thought wise if they keep silent, you've taken quite the risk.
Nice points, but remember Putin/ Russia unable to change their rhetoric played into this. Putin should have stayed put with Donbas and Crimea and lost Rest of Ukraine to EU. Or he should have gone further back in time and supported the people against the ousted ruler. And used whatever soft power to keep Ukraine closer.My impressions so far:
1- The west DID corner Putin into invading Ukraine throwing both nations into a quagmire just like they did to Saddam.
2- Putin simply had no choice but playing into their hands. He should've known better. He had Crimea and the Donbass regions, now he may lose them too.
3- Zelensky as a comedian shouldn't be blamed for making jokes about anybody or any country. It's comedy and it shouldn't be taken seriously.
4- Zelensky had a tweet supporting the latest Israeli bombardments of Gaza. Zelensky has an Israeli passport.
5- I respect his decision to stay in Ukraine.
6- Racism/White supermacism is a considerable problem in Ukraine and Russia.
7- By invading Ukraine, Putin has exposed Russia's weaknesses and now his armed forces are hemorrhaging. The myth of Russian military power has evaporated.
8- Russia already lost a lot from sanctions and boycotts in every field and their somewhat stable economy is free falling.
9- The invasion gave the west legitimate ground for arming Ukraine.
10- The Americans did it again without having to shoot a single bullet.
11- All that being said, Russia is still the aggressor and it's good to see they're being punished whereas Ukraine is no angel but it's good to see the people fighting for their country.

Who is crazy enough to compare Ataturk with Zelensky?Surrendering lands is a cucked move.
I dont want people comparing this man to Ataturk.
Ataturk was actually willing to clawback all lost Turkish lands while this man is willing to surrender an inch.
If Zelensky surrenders those lands completely I kid you not he will be remembered as a coward.
I know that's why I said that modern air force is critical if you dont want to end fighting guerilla warfware deep inside your own territory like Ukraine now.Ukraine Air force do NOT have JDAM or similаr missiles
