Really? I was hearing the opposite all this while. PS: Slowly and very painfully, fuck, I wish there was an end to this war and we could return to status quo!
From where? There are multiple, reasonably reputable maps available that show the lines, and regardless of who the map makers support, they have to be accurate because of how easily they can be proven wrong if they make false claims.
Besides, much like Vietnam, or the many wars in Afghanistan, victory won't happen on the battlefield, it will happen when the invader finally gets tired of paying the price of war.
Indian media mainly, I haven't explored out of the Indian media bubble though.
Interesting. I know they've historically been close to Russia, I didn't realise they still had so much support.
India is absolutely leaning (hard) towards Russia. They probably never bought gas/oil and fertiliser so cheap.
I watch this channel for daily updates: https://youtube.com/@RFU
It obviously leans pretty heavily pro-Ukrainian, but it seems to do the daily updates accurately enough from the times Iโve double checked.
You might be stuck in an alt right algorithm.
Or possibly a tankie one
Tankie is to liberals as woke is to conservatives but y'all aren't ready for that conversation
Tankie seems more targeted then woke. Woke is everything left of Reagan sometimes.
Tankie is, at it's most general, anyone supporting authoritarian measures for "left" wing reasons.
As if. I seen someone call JT tankie in that famous Hasan clip.
It's literally just "you're to the left of me and I don't like it"
Jt does support statist solutions. I mean so do I so yeah he's not a tankie to me, but for some anarchy is the only acceptable end game.
Again it's not generally a "too left" thing, but "too authoritarian" thing.

From euronews news bulletins I know Ukraine has crossed the dnipro and cleared a stable bridge head to get more troops to that russian occupied side. Also they said that nuklear reactor the russians occupied, near the front, is in danger again, because it has been cut off from electricity and had to run gasoline generators to cool it.
This shows ukraine is advancing slowly.
