Sunday’s successful blockade run could signal to international shippers that it’s reasonably safe to resume operations from Ukrainian ports.

    I actually don’t blame him for trying to play mediator, I think that’s a good thing here, because I want putin to think there’s always room to talk even while his army is being incinerated around him.

    But we should send speedboats with the US flag carrying kfc in and out of Odessa with each convoy.

    Ukraine is beating Russia, best case scenario for everyone is this keeps happening slowly enough that putin doesn’t do anything stupid while his empire collapses around him.

        Well they’ve taken more land back in the last couple months than Russia took in the last year, so there’s that.

        Russia were kicked out of Kyiv

        Russia were kicked out of Kharkiv

        Russia were kicked out of Kherson

        The reclamation of Russian held Ukrainian land in the east and the south appears to be accelerating.

        Russia is resorting to fielding T-54s and T-55s (how embarrassing 😬 )

        Putins support at home appears to be slipping

        Ukraine has the full support of the west

        Russia barely has the tentative support of China
