  1. So much for this breakthrough that the Western media were claiming as a disaster. I notice those same media are not reporting on the Ukrainians kicking ass in the same so-called breakthrough.

    • Advance halted, Ukrainian civilians still being pitilessly murdered by degenerates.
      Surely gifting Donbas, or any other part of Ukraine to a horde of filthy savages must be at last taken off the table?

      • Ukraine will never give up Donbas. Everyone knows this. It is just a ploy so TACO can claim Ukraine don’t want peace.
