Putin Says Russian Forces Have Advantage On Ukraine Front Line

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday his troops had the upper hand in Ukraine after they captured a string of towns and villages in the east of the country.

“The initiative belongs entirely to the Russian armed forces, and in some areas our guys are just tearing them — the enemy — apart right now,” Putin said in televised remarks, as election results showed he was headed for another six-year term.

  1. Graham arrived in Kyiv. New litany of “reaffirm our unwavering support”, “Russia must not win in Ukraine”?

    There is only one message that the world is waiting for feverishly: “the aid package is passed, help is on the way”.

    Congress stop tinkering, put on the blue overalls and finish the job by voting for this aid for Ukraine NOW! Not tomorrow, not after the holidays, not after the annihilation of Ukraine.

    • Unwavering support is hot air. Hot air isn’t going to win this war. Remove Johnson to show real support.

      • I’d love to see Johnson replaced, but look at how long it took to replace McCarthy as House Speaker. It would be faster if he could be convinced to allow a vote, or if the discharge petition passed. (Although that still only has 177 signatures – unchanged since last week.)
