Shoigu added that Russia could achieve its military goals with “consistent implementation of the measures in the action until 2025.”

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and allies like Shoigu have repeatedly stressed the need to keep Ukraine inside Russia’s sphere of influence, and to defeat what they describe as Ukraine’s “Nazi regime”.

    I was told by some mouth foaming Putin fan on the other site that when the tanks were running out of fuel and breaking down on the road in the early days that it was all part of the plan. Yup, all part of the plan. Sigh. Turns out it wasn’t and here we are.

    At some point, we have to take the toys away from the children. No more war.

      And that was followed by

      “They haven’t sent in their real elite forces yet, these are just conscripts to soak up the Ukraine forces and ammunition”

      And Then

      “They never wanted to capture Kyiv (of course it was not spelt this way…). It was just a feint”

      And so on as each new copium point replaced the last one.

        Maybe. Pretty sure he was a Serb. I was just shocked at how many people were taking this position at the time. Like, read the war room, people.
