Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Residents of the village of Rozovka, Zaporozhye region, voted at a people's meeting for joining the Donetsk People's Republic.

Thus, the territory of the DPR is expanding beyond the borders of the former Donetsk region of Ukraine. Everything will be DNR:

Very interesting thread. Russia opposes the very idea of Ukraine.

Residents of the village of Rozovka, Zaporozhye region, voted at a people's meeting for joining the Donetsk People's Republic.

Thus, the territory of the DPR is expanding beyond the borders of the former Donetsk region of Ukraine. Everything will be DNR:

Errmmm, some people in a room surrounded by armed guards raising their arm does not equate to a free and fair election.
 
" Today, the intensity of the fighting surpassed yesterday. The offensive is extremely active, the artillery strikes non-stop, the troops are advancing towards Slavyansk on a wide front.

Another batch of prisoners will soon arrive from the front again. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are extremely high, which the Ukrainians themselves are well aware of. Well, we are waiting for the next tales of Arestovich about the imminent encirclement of Russian troops."

Whether Russians "plan" to fight long is irrelevant now. American's also didn't planned to fight 20 years in Afghanistan, but they were forced to. Russia can't just say "it was all a prank bro" and it won't convince Ukrainians to stop fighting for their land. If Russia want to win this war, they have to decisively defeat Ukranian forces in the field. As of now, that decisive blow is not delivered.

I'd actually say the Russians will want the Ukrainians to back off on their own. They can't do anything real without their air force. Merely dedicating 100+ Su-24/25 would do wonders, but they seem to have decided not to do that.

That's complete garbage, the existence of Russia doesn't bother anyone as long as it stays in Russia. You keep coming up with soundbites to cover-up for the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine.

This is just unfinished business from WW2. The successor to Operation Unthinkable.
No. Like I said earlier, Nazis are a very specific breed of nationalist. Even the BJP is described as a Hindu Nationalist Party otherwise. The SNP in Scotland in the UK is a nationalist party. Nazis are ultra-nationalists and a defining trait is a hatred of Jews. By branding a group with Jewish members as Nazis, rather than ultra-nationalists, Putin made a fool of himself.

"Ukrainian nationalists" is what the Russians call Nazis. Another example of you going pointless.
 
UNITED NATIONS, April 20. /TASS/. Calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine are aimed at giving Kiev military units a chance to rest and regroup, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky told the UN Security Council session on Ukraine on Tuesday.


During the meeting, the Russian diplomat said that the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, "instead of monitoring and recording all ceasefire violations, actually spied in Kiev’s interests."

The SMM also "shared feed from surveillance cameras with Ukrainians so they could do fire adjustment," he said.
Polyansky also noted episodes in which Ukrainian armed formations used OSCE armored vehicles.

"Such exposures undermine all trust in international organizations, where majority of officials come from Western states. Against this backdrop, calls to peace and ceasefire are perceived as two-tongued and disingenuous," the Russian deputy envoy continued.

"In practical terms, they only mean willingness to give a short break to Ukrainian nationalists and radicals, carve some time for them to re-group, receive new shipments of drones, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), and in the meantime carry out more infernal provocations, launch more fakes about the actions of Russian soldiers," he added.
