    They want a ceasefire only to have time for shipping more weapons into Odessa and other cities. Russia should ignore this and demand a surrender.

      Russia is the one on the clock. Their demands only get weaker as sanctions strangle their economy and more high-tech weapons flow into Ukraine. It’s clear their timeline of the invasion has been greatly frustrated. “Over by Christmas” they always say.

        Hahahaha. The only ones who are destroying their economy with the sanctions are Europeans. Russia will keep trading with China, India, and most of the world really. Western countries dont matter that much anymore.

        First of all, it doesnt matter which side you or I want to win. And you seem to be under the impression that the war started last week, which is wrong. The war started in 2014, after the u.s. coup in kiev. Lugansk and Donetsk didnt accept that illegal change of government, and were attacked with tanks. Russia has since then demanded u.s. and nato to stand out of ukraine, but were ignored. Ukraine was about to start another offensive on Donbass, and threatened to acquire nuclear weapons (they still have know-how from soviet times).

        In general you seem to make a lot of assumptions about me, but know very little about the conflict itself.
