Ukraine claims to lose 137 soldiers while losing so much land
Are they lying?

That's a fucking impressive advance for 3 days
It could be that they are offering close to 0 resistance, but I find that unlikely.
That’s not a lot of land.
Also real life isn’t a map painter.
See Iraq or Afghanistan for details on realty of who contorls things. Even in history, people can resist invaders for 100s of years no matter what color the map is
It is. Ukraine is very vaste, it's a bit bigger than France and they are 40 millions.
But they can't take Kiev. Russians predicted a fast fall of Kiev which doesn't happen.
>Are they lying?
kek
Novorissiya confirmed ? Looks like they only want eastern russophone ukraine
russia still has a long ways to go to connect the Luhansk region with crimea
I know right. I’m assuming that Russians arent taking a small amount of casualties. You cant protect civies, advance this fast and protect your own men.
>that's not a lot of land
>t-that's not * sob* a lot of la-
Already as big as Vietnam, where you mutts LOST against farmers.
If the pro Russian sources are to be believed not only do the Ukraine citizens not care but even the military doesn't really wanna fight. Especially when many are on the eastern side who probably have a Russian relative or friend.
Thats why you see all these vids of Ukrainian solder's surrendering and not really giving a fuck coz they know Russians won't kill them.
They are fighting right now in Berdyansk and Kherson, so this evening Crimea will be connected to Donbass.
so did you
An entire Russian column with Thermobaric missiles is just roaming around in the enemies rear if you believe Western Propaganda.
I think the real story is its basically Afghanistan again, the local forces are probably running off or surrendering without a fight. Hence the ghost and snake island stories to stop that kind of narrative from spreading.
If you listen to the Ukrainians, there should be Russian jets down all over, but there's not a single photo...
Real map
Please go back to where ever you came from.
If they wanted to, Russia could turn Kiev into a smoking hole in the ground with conventional weapons.
Makes sense, countries that are winning don't draft every male under the age of 60 and give out free guns to civilians.
Just wait for the cope and shock when Ukraine falls in the next t2-3 weeks and reality kicks in
>taliban: nobody can take back a country as fast as we did
>russia: hold my vodka
If Ukraine wasn't so damn poor maybe people would fight harder. But since it is, they don't really give a shit if its a Jew or Putin ruling them coz its makes no difference to them.
Ukraine is larger than Iraq both in terms of area and population.
Yes. Albeit I'm mostly seeing Ukrainian armed forces giving up to russians.
Yes, but they don't do it because Kiev is a symbolic city for Russians. If he turns Kiev into a battle field Putin will be very hated in Russia.
Yes.
How long until Russia cut off Kiev water & electricity?
Not to give you people any help, but Russia is trying to *not* conduct a US style invasion. They're trying to strike the very tricky sweet spot of exerting pressure on the absolute top of the leadership while bending over backward as much as possible to not hurt civilians, or even Ukrainian military personnel. They want to convert the Ukraine into a Russia-friendly country, not flatten it and then try to hold it against infuriated locals and the mostly intact and furious remnants of the Ukrainian state.
Why didn't they do it yet ?
Exactly my point. They can take Kiev, very easily. Put 1 Tsar bomba in the middle and see all resistance vanish. But they haven't taken Kiev because they don't want to kill hohols and destroy the place. They want rid of the kike rodent with as little collateral damage as possible.
The best thing that could happen is if they were able to prove Zelenskyy is not in Kiev and is larping as a tough guy when he's in a west city ready to ditch the country. Then many Ukrainians will simple go fuck it and let the Russians in with no more fighting.
Unfortunately we don't live in a ideal world.
>How long until Russia cut off Kiev water & electricity?
They must have avoided doing that altogether. It could have been done on day 1 if they wanted.
Why would you go to war with long hair?
dont tell me you think Russian propaganda is any better
It's actually much faster than Iraq with a much lower capability dedicated. Very impressive.
>Why didn't they do it yet ?
I have not heard anything about power outages at all. Not a single thing. In Iraq it was one of the first things the Americans hit, they wiped out power within hours.
The west got what they wanted, all of those educated professionals working for dirt cheap in their country.
>Are they lying?
Maybe not. Most of the soldiers might be surrendering.
They'll try their hardest to keep things as surgical and unobtrusive to the population for as long as possible.
Russia has the charisma of truth, for now.
