Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Yes Ukraine possibly has the worlds strongest military today. For sure they have the strongest in Europe.
I still remember the Bayraktar drone Ukraine used early in the war, and the popular song they made about it.

It's funny how in the beginning Ukraine got their drones from Turkey, and Russia got theirs from Iran.
But undoubtedly Ukraine has developed the drone technologies way further than these initial drones. So Ukraine is now the world leader on drone technology.
We don't know for sure what Ukraine is planning, but a lot of us saw the Ukrainian determination and skill early on and together with Russian incompetence, we predicted (and hoped) that Russia would lose this war already early into the war.
The talk about Ukraine taking back Crimea has been going on for years, but it is only now, that Ukraine may be strong enough to actually do it.
The spring offensive Ukraine made a couple of years ago, did NOT go as planned for many reasons that weren't all the fault of Ukraine. The war of attrition however has worked very well, and the tide is now in Ukraine's favor. But it's very different to go on the offensive, but I am confident that Ukraine will plan and execute well this time, because they are way more competent and better equipped now.
