    but watso quoting from almayadeen

    Rising desertions, low morale plague Ukrainian troops: CNN

    Several commanders told CNN that the lack of artillery support and resources contributed to a sharp decline in morale among frontline units.

    The report focuses on Dima, a former battalion commander who recently stepped down from his role after witnessing most of his 800 troops either killed or severely injured.

    the good news for the ukrainians, according to watso's good mate @tangs, is that the russian economy is too small to sustain the military ...

    watso gets the feeling that russia is throwing everything they have into current operations .. , in a last desperate attempt to have a small victory .. should be out of guns and stuff in 2 weeks time .. then ukrainians will be in moscow, capture war tyrant/criminal st poots - and parade him (in a cage and in his undies) in the maidan, by the end of the month
    and forget trump.. the guy is an idiot .. all talk.. and easy to be wise in hind sight ..

    anyway - a story from almayadeen ..

    Medvedev: Sanctions on Russia are forever or will end with US collapse

    The former Russian President says neither Trump nor Harris is expected to change the current administration's anti-Russia policy.

    "Out of spite for the current administration, Donald Trump has threatened to lift sanctions against Russia. But will he really do it if elected? No, of course not," Medvedev said.
