They’re tired and weary from the onslaught of war fringe to safe their country from Putins aggression. Any dig at their progress is a dig at morale that spreads not only through the ranks, but also to the general public. There is a time for constructive criticism, but that should be done in private with actual solutions offered by those criticizing. I understand their needs to be some decorum but you can’t blame them for what I would consider a mild retort as their countrymen die trying to retake their land everyday.

Yeah, but like, they are their worst countrymen. Nazis and such. No one in the war stands to win anything. They will still pay their landlords and the corrupt banks for the right to live in now freshly burned down houses. Wages will stay super low, the wartime reduction becoming a reconstruction reduction whenever it ends. Anyone from Ukraine who is able to escape the nazis ought to defect to Russia where they would be taken care of a little better.

Hopping from a nation which employs fascist militia to a fascist-governed one isn't a solution to anything. All fascists involved suck shit but sheesh, let's not hope for a worse outcome

what do you expect ukraine's internal politics to look like after the war?

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Like the Baltics post fall of the Soviet Union: Beeline for EU membership. Also Zelensky already said that Ukraine is willing to let go of Belgorod in exchange for NATO membership.

[-] dolphin@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Belgorod is Russian, Zelensky was making a joke.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

And I was parroting it.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine at some point occupies some fields somewhere just to make sure that whoever's going to be in power after Putin will be disposed is going to sit down and talk reparations etc.

You're in a thread about Ukraines failed counteroffensive

[-] Blursty@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago

They can fuck off. Europeans are already paying through the nose for America's terrorist attack on our infrastructure. Paying for America's latest war is not going to happen.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Belgorod, where is that?
