I'm posting it because today probably every rumor about the UAF is true. Ukraine lost the airport in 2014.

He's usually pretty good. Just don't know. The airport is right by the city.

1. I really hope it's true. Hopefully, Ukraine will be able to sue for peace soon

It would be really neat if the territory Russia took in 2014 was on the table too.

2. Hear, hear....

13. Zelensky's Opening bid:

Vlad, you will surrender all territory currently occupied as well as Crimea and other historically Ukrainian territories. You may evacuate any troops still alive and recover casualties but all military equipment stays where is, as is. When a full accounting of damages is done you will be presented with a demand for reparation.

26. Why Puta will never concede to this:

Just one of several changes in boundaries.

3. Be cautious about the information ........

although it could be really happening.

[Lonestarblue]

4. I so hope this is the beginning of the end.

The Ukrainians have been through so much trauma, and this war needs to end. And then Putin needs to be hauled before an international court and tried for war crimes. If found guilty, execute him immediately, as was done to convicted Nazis during the Nuremburg trials.

9. If this is an effect of USA & EU sending arms I worry about India, NK & China's recent agreements

...to sell additional arms to Russia.

This could play out as a long drawn out proxy war.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. I hope that the silence around these agreements mean pressure is being applied.

It's the total opposite of TFG - All Action, no talk. Just get this behind us and deal with climate change you numbskulls.

[NullTuples]

20. Me too. So many don't realize why things are calmer when diplomacy is in use.

Sure, it's harder to use situations to gin up irrational attacks on one's own government. but that's how Democrats roll.

5. The Ukrainian forces...their military planners are not letting much information out right now

I know you follow the war closely, so I know you know Ukraine has asked that ppl not to post maps or other info that would give away their plans, troop movement or equipment to the orcs, and with good reason. So as they say “the fog of war.” Let’s hope it’s true. Will probably know in 24-48.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. I don't follow it closely but wonder if they will succeed in retaking the north

and isolating and surrounding Russian forces in the south. Would be game over.

7. "Extremely Unconfirmed Reports"

What are these, unconfirmed reports about extreme events? Or reports on really really shaky ground? Or reports with extremely dubious truthiness?

Please get back to us when you have some fact-based news.

[getagrip_already]

10. In all fairness, ALL of the unconfirmed reports of ukr advance in the past 3 days have come true....

The Ukranian advance is moving even faster than the twitterverse can keep up.

But if you prefer to wait for the msm to confirm it, check back in 3 days.

8. All of us who love Democracy need the example Ukraine is setting

They may die on their feet, but will not live on their knees. Democracy is worth a lifetime of fighting, if that's what it takes to save it.

[erronis]

11. Ditto that. Even in this self-proclaimed example of democracy (US), we need hope.

Strange how supporting another struggling country may actually make our own stronger.

[Marthe48]

12. We will prevail

Ukraine's fight is keeping the determination to be free in front of our eyes. Traitors need to take note!

[Ponietz]

16. Ukraine fought MAGA politics these past 5 years

and when Putin falls ex-President Shitheel and the modern GOP can’t be far behind.

[nycbos]

25. Churchill said.

“Nations that go down fighting rise again, but those who surrender tamely are finished.”

[Marthe48]

27. That's inspiring

[Quakerfriend]

14. Wow! This would be incredible, if confirmed.

It has not yet been posted on dailykos or by Denys on YouTube- two of my go to sources for news on Ukraine.

On another note, I saw video of long lines of Russians in cars trying to flee Ukraine and cross into Russia but, they are not being allowed to enter!!

[sprinkleeninow]

21. There's 5 million square miles of unused land in eastern яuzzzia.

They could relocate there.🤔

[SergeStorms]

15. Drive them Ruskies all the way to Moscow!

Well, back across their pre-existing border anyway.

Make Pootie's legacy stink like Bannon's jock strap. 🦨

[erronis]

18. I'm guessing Bannon's undergarment has nothing to do with jock - probably a toilet-bag.

Can't see him needing protection during any sports activities. More like controlling the lower-diarrhea stream (the upper runneth over.)

[Tetrachloride]

17. The Russians didn't trust their eyes or local commanders

[Warpy]

22. Looks like after 8 years of slowly pushing back

they finally lost patience and are kicking them hard enough to kick them out.

Those 8 years were spent building and training both military and home guard forces. It shows.

[SunSeeker]

24. Yes, and after 8 years western democracies have finally given Ukraine offensive weapons.

Ukraine still is running short of everything from boots to bombs, but it has more than it's ever had.

[nycbos]

23. Hope it's true but let's wait for conformation.
