CitizenVectron Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Amazing speech by Zelenskyy Openly address Russian soldiers around the half-way mark, saying that you will be killed and die for nothing, that Ukraine hears their commanders over open comms, that the commanders know the truth of the situation. Also lays the blame on what is happening on the reluctance of western nations to do more. On the rumours of some Ukrainian politicians conspiring with Russians to benefit themselves after the war: "I want to say one thing and only once: I see what you are doing. If I hear another signal, the answer will be quick, as befits wartime." Basically, talk to Russia again and you will die. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 US believes Russia has lost about 10% of combat power in Ukraine, still has 90% available. Obviously they are still capable...but 10% in two weeks sounds pretty bad for losses. This of course is without any major urban battles yet.
