being pounded and defeated by Ukrainians.
Not true for anything. Ukrainian casualties are many, many times more than Russian. It's common sense, when you have 10-15 times the artillery, and significant amounts of air support. Plus the UAF have many times the infantry the Russians have, so more casualties. The desertion rate of UAF is also incredibly high. And the Russians claimed last month that they have 8000 UAF PoWs.
The Russians are holding the line in Kherson and Kharkiv, meaning they are not conducting an offensive there. Kherson in particular is going quite badly for the UAF, never mind the other sectors. They have lost control over the water in the south and the Russians are pushing via the coast. So the small little pushes UAF have made is irrelevant to the whole.
Overall, the Russian offensive has become rapid. They are now just 12Km from Slovyansk.
Russian EW has crippled Ukraine's drone intelligence. And the HIMARs numbers need to climb to a few dozen to even a hundred if it is to make an impact. Just transferring a handful won't do anything.
Clearly this is complete garbage since I post videos every single day of Ukrainian drones not only operating over Russian-held territory but dropping munitions on their heads.
'Worrying trend': Post-Cold War drop in nukes could be over
A Swedish arms watchdog says the world’s stockpiles of nuclear weapons are expected to increase in coming years, reversing a decline seen since the end of the Cold War. The Stockholm International Pe...
Hell, I even remember posting a video of a drone operating over a Russian EW system ('Resident') whilst it was hit with artillery.

The whole world, except the US/UK, needs Russia to win.
The West is winning the international propaganda war. Pretty much everything you see in foreign press is just fake news.
Why exactly? The EU certainly doesn't need them to win. When you say 'the whole world' you pretty much just mean a few dickheads in India, Syria, North Korea, Eritrea and China.
Everything you post is fake news, you just buy everything Russia says blindly. Russia has flitted between half-a-dozen reasons for the invasion.
"De-Nazification" - There are more neo-Nazis in Russia than any other country in Europe and Ukraine is led by a Jew and the Azov Battalion and Ukrainian armed forces has people of several different ethnicities, including Russian-speaking, as well as volunteers from Columbia and South Korea.
"Put's Moscow in range of shorter ranged missiles" - That can be done from the Baltics if NATO wanted to.
"The Ukrainian border is ideal for a NATO tank invasion of Russia" - Clearly it's not that ideal huh, because the second largest military in the world, with arguably the most armoured vehicles, has taken 4 months to reach a stalemate against Ukraine.
And Russia has admitted it's about getting back lost territories, so it's just good old colonialism in exactly the same way that it was when Russia invaded its way from Europe to East Asia between 1471 and the early 19th century.
Not even Putin's mother would believe anything he has to say at this point.
Air support has been ineffective because they don't have air superiority and artillery has been limited by intel. Russia has been trying to advance in the most fiercely contested areas, that leads to more casualties from ambushes and mines, and areas pre-sited for artillery. Russia is facing partisan attacks, that leads to more casualties. It's only if you count civilian deaths that Russia is winning on death toll. They spray large areas with unguided artillery and rocket fire, which causes civilian deaths.
The Russians have lost several areas around Kherson in the recent weeks and days and their Kharkiv presence is limited to a few border villages. They also lost a village and area west of Izium.
Ukraine haven't lost ground in the Kherson area for months.
They're 20km from Sloviansk at the nearest point. Ukraine is about the same distance from Kherson.

You keep saying Russia is advancing rapidly but this is day 109 or something. The Russian military is garbage.
Sensationalist news to mask the bitter truth, EU hypocrites accounted for 61% of russian exports. korea, turkey , poland imported more than us while we just over took minions like bulgaria,belgium. Turkey sells drone to ukraine and buys oil from russia but no one points out this nato country.Russia is now second-largest oil exporter to India: Report

Russians have time on their side and grinding their way through. Ukraine on the other hand are running low on supply and if the west does not supply enuf they might be on the verge of collapse.
West might push ukraine to hold talks with russia once donbas take over is complete. Ukraine knows that donbas is good as lost they are just ensuring everything in donbas is turned to rubble before russians take over. Infact real fight for ukraine starts post donbas take over, as russia will not just gain territory but also upper hand in negotiations. If no negotiations are held then ukraine will be staring at a truncated country, similar to what happened in armenia-azerbaijan war. Blame game , protests will then follow, just a matter of time.
ukraine is right now high on kool aid,
your application of geographical knowledge is pretty amusing,.A war is taking place, which only touches 4-5 countries border geographically and you want to drag the whole world. West needs to own up and acknowledge the proxy war it is fighting and even if it grudgingly does so, it is just europe its got nothing to do with africa, asia or south america. Its your war own up and move on. You ppl dont care abt others and same thing holds good vice versa. This self aggrandizing attitude of west was amusing to begin with and is now becoming totally revolting.
Artillery strikes as regards mobile forces need to be there and then a lot of the time though.

Does ownership of the war actually matter? Does right and wrong not matter? It's China's proxy war just as much, who do you think is buying Russian bonds?

Apart from the food shortage in Africa you mean? Which Russia is causing with its blockade. That isn't totally revolting?
