    Ukraine is defending itself, no one else is attacking Russia. Russia is invading Ukraine, in my opinion exactly like Hitler (fascism) using the same smoke screen for "Das Volk" to build and empire to last 1000 years.

    If you use weapons from another country it doesn't mean that other country is at war with you. That is not how the law interprets.

    Russia is using North Korean ballistics, and Drones and soon missiles from Iran, does that mean Ukraine is at war with Iran and North Korea?

    North Korea and Iran are both heavily sanctioned countries mainly for their despicable treatment of their own population and threats to the world at large. especially North Korea with nukes and Iran's support of terrorism. They are the only supporting countries of Putin. Not countries anyone wants to emulate? Apparently Russia does...

    Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, publicly contradicted Vladimir Putin’s narrative on the Ukraine war in several significant ways:

    1. Criticism of Military Leadership: Prigozhin frequently criticized Russia's top military leadership, particularly Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov, for their handling of the war. He blamed them for the failures of Russia's military campaign, describing them as incompetent and accusing them of withholding supplies from Wagner forces.

    2. Admission of Setbacks: While Putin consistently portrayed the invasion as a necessary and successful operation, Prigozhin was more candid about the struggles on the front lines. He acknowledged the heavy casualties suffered by Wagner forces and criticized the Russian military for failing to provide adequate support.

    3. Disillusionment with the Justification for the War: In June 2023, Prigozhin made a highly controversial statement in which he dismissed the official reasons for the war in Ukraine. He claimed that the war was not about "denazifying" Ukraine or protecting Russian speakers, as Putin had claimed, but was driven by the personal ambitions of the Russian elite. He criticized the war as a result of “lies” spread by Russia’s defense establishment, implying that it had done more harm than good.

    4. Calls for Ending the War: Prigozhin was also vocal about the need to stop the war, which is a stark contrast to Putin’s goal of continuing the conflict until Russia achieves its objectives. Prigozhin’s rebellion in June 2023 was partly motivated by his frustration with the ongoing war and the perceived incompetence of Russian leadership.

    These comments led to significant tensions between Prigozhin and the Kremlin, culminating in his brief rebellion against the Russian military leadership in June 2023.


    Guess who was probably in the bag?
