Russia had never intended to capture Kyiv, Kharkiv and other cities, the generals said - these are not setbacks in other words, it's all part of the plan. And the plan was to distract Ukrainian forces while Russia/ Donetsk/ Luhansk made territorial gains in the east.

Ukraine - Russia Conflict

We're talking about deliberate peacetime famines in the link, not food prioritisation in a world war where rice supplies have been reduced by a Japanese invasion of Burma. It's not like your record on malnutrition deaths has been great since independence either.
That particular famine wasn't the only one retard. It was the last one in your inglorious rule with casualties running into millions . There were multiple ones all through your rule. What's our track record with malnutrition got to do with your track record with famines man made or otherwise ?
Donbass yes. If Putin hadn't sent his saboteurs in and rogue Buk units they would have been able to vote in the elections like everyone else. They decided to hold their own little elections for DPR and LPR instead, which are not internationally recognised or monitored.
True statement.
That's not how international law works I'm afraid. And don't confuse persuasion with bullying. You have no clue about the west in your little misinformation bubble over there. We have a free press unlike Russia. They tend not to die as well.
Let's have some links so we can see the reasons. The only ones I found were banned 24 days into the invasion. Some parties get banned even in the EU due to laws centred around the likes of terrorism, inciting violence/hate etc. The fact international monitors saw no problem,
Nobody had bothered exploiting them, another sure sign that their government was in cohorts and likely taking bribes with Russia. Equally Syria would make shed loads of money and be much richer if it allowed a pipeline to the EU, how could it not be, but again Russia.
Donbass didn't take part under Russian instruction. Remember the MH17 incident, people said Russia would never be incompetent enough to shoot down a civilian jet (even though a Buk launcher with 3 missiles was seen heading back to Russia moments after). Well this war was proven you wrong on their incompetence.
A clear example of diversionary tactics.
Now it is better the Ukranian to donot follow the Russians.
Otherwise it would become an infamous example of feigned retreat ..
A gift of the Chenghiz Khan Mongol Empire
>2/3rds of the world's nations still voted against Russia, hardly anyone voted for them, even you. Malaysia had previously good relations with Russia and they too voted against Russia, simply because Russia is very obviously in the wrong. You are not that important in influencing global opinion, we just expected better.
Well that's nice but sometimes the security isn't available for such, like when there is a war on. Putin caused all this by interfering. Without that Ukraine's elections would have been full, and fully monitored by international observers. These observers have not red flagged any party ban. They attempted to ban the Communist Party for the following reasons but that was not successful.
‘Banned’ Ukrainian Communist Party puts forward candidate for Presidential Elections
Ukraine’s ‘Communist Party# has announced that it is putting forward its leader Petro Symonenko as presidential candidate in the coming elections. The announcement has aroused bemusement, since it comes over three years after a much publicized ruling banning this very same party.

Decommunization in Ukraine - Wikipedia
I would say that after Holodomor the reasoning holds. To Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans, The Communist Party is basically like the Daesh Party. They had no chance of winning in a million years but people find their very presence offensive.
India lacks joined up thinking. But then the EU did too, but now they've changed their mind.
A Russian paper reported 10,000 dead but then deleted it.
500 Or 10,000 Deaths? Russian Media Finally Seems To Report Dire Troop Casualty Numbers—And Then Deletes Them
Russia has remained secretive about its military losses since it first invaded Ukraine last month.

This is risky.
Finland who's now considering joining NATO as a result of the war and taking in people fleeing Russia.
You are living in cloud dumbass land.
Deliberately reduced firepower. No they were incompetent, the same incompetence that shot down MH17.
Thinks Putin is a kind humanitarian, calls Europeans and Americans 'sheep'.
"Boh, wwwwwonnnnder you're sheeeep. Baaahhhh."
What Russia is Demonstrating is that ,it does not want Ukraine to exist , they hate Ukraine far too
Much ,so they will absorb all losses
This war is driven by pure Hatred
Russia will not allow Ukraine to stand up on its feet again
None of the Indian members need not defend the stupidity & failures of Russian doctrine in Ukraine. I can understand people here defending our failure at LAC or our inability to go offensive on feb 27,but this one? Why? Is it because we are purchasing Russian weapons or because of the macho man image of Putin?
In their own hatred they have overlooked Ukrainian hatred for the century of abuse they suffered under the Communist Russia.
I get the feeling that it's because of two main reasons:
1. Historical incidents which are now an irrelevance in 2022.
2. Overly invested in Russian defence equipment.
3. Just generally bad information/propaganda. I get when people take Iraq and say, "NATO shouldn't have been there even though Saddam had gassed and tortured a bunch of people and invaded a country. You are not world police." I get that, the aftermath was a clusterfuck. But when the same people speak on Ukraine and say, "NATO, or US and UK, masterminded this whole thing, it's not Russia's fault, this is why Britain left the EU a year ago...." I just think, these people are f#cked in the head, they'll clearly blame 'the west' for everything no matter what. Is there really any point in even trying to sensibly converse with such utter morons.
Absolutely splendid. When are you deleting your profile & effing off to O'Shea's where you can have conversations with like minded dimwits.
The Hatred is Mutual but Ukraine is getting killed slowly , Russia will survive and overcome all Losses
The damage to the cities will devastate the Normal lives of the Ukrainians for many years
And How long will NATO countries pay for the hardships of Ukrainian people
Basically the NATO countries are enjoying the damage to Russian
Military and Economy
Ukraine is the Bait or the Sacrificial Goat
I'm wondering if the Russian Orthodox Church also holds a similar mass offering prayers to God the Father & his son & maybe the Holy Ghost depending on the epistemology of the Russian Orthodox Church, whom exactly is God supposed to support?
Perhaps you can enlighten us Paddy. After all you're Catlick even if you're a lapsed one. @BMD
No wonder China's singing a different tune these past days.
