    Russia, which has recruited hundreds of thousands of contract soldiers, will create two new armies and 30 formations including 14 divisions and 16 brigades, Shoigu said.

    Are these the guys from India and other countries that got promised logistics jobs, and then got sent to the front lines to fight?

    Russia is currently decimating Ukraine.

    How do we know? Look at how much news we see about Ukraine when their winning vs. when their losing.

    When they’re winning: we hear about every slight development on the battlefield.

    When they’re losing: 🦗🦗🦗

    Propaganda is real.

        frontlines remain static for a while, then suddenly move a lot when one side starts collapsing. Static frontlines is not an indication that no real change is happening.

      Lol, all gains from Russia are inconvenient corn fields and a already dead city (only symbolic stuff). The important spots are still under control of Ukraine. The army of Ukraine is just going back where good hiding spots are vs. Staying on Open fields. Ukraine is not able to move forward right now, since the munitions are missing. You only hear less from Ukraine because the situation is not changing much and because war in Gaza and other stuff got more attention. Please don’t fall for conspiracy theories.

        Interesting. So Ukraine would be winning except that “munitions are missing,” and of course conveniently the only gains that Russia has made are “symbolic.” Idk, I’m not a decorated arm chair commander, but it seems like if you are missing “munitions” and “hiding” you can’t really conduct a war, let alone win it.

          Well, of course, they are holding the line until they have more monition again. They are hoping that EU / USA offers them soon. And yes, of course if they don’t get the monitions soon enough, they have to give up more land to Russia.

          Yeah. I bet you also thought Russia was going to take Kyiv, too.

            Well, from the looks of it they still are.

            You probably thought ‘3 days’ was from a Russian source.

              Nono, it was the CIA, planting false information! The huge attack on multiple fronts at the same time was meant to fail, all just to disprove the “3 days”-propaganda!

              But even with all this effort, the brainwashed westerners are still to stupid to see that!

          Huu? Not really, I guess. Never tried to foresee the outcome of this war…

      I see Ukraine news every single day.

      Normally about how high a Russian tank turret flew to, or a Russian refinery in flames.

      Is that a cricket?

      Its unfortunate but true. They need to come to the negotiation table before they lose to much.
