Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials who say its forces are advancing too slowly.

    “Fighting corruption” is an interesting way to describe sustained artillery bombardments of civilian targets.

              A few million dollars earned from acting is an oligarch to you?

                Yes being a multi-millionaire and hiding your wealth in offshore tax havens is being an oligarch to me.

                You act as if I support Russia? Oh no Putin bad! Who would have thought!

        I’m not sure what that has to do with shelling cities, are you suggesting he was hiding in one of the buildings or what?

          Look, the heckin’ wholesome slava ukrainis didn’t know where he was so they had to shell everywhere! It’s like playing Battleship, except it’s mostly other random innocent people that you hit

        Yes, but the liberal pro-EU protestors got sidelined by literal neo-Nazis. The following President was basically handpicked by the US Ambassador. There’s plenty of western media from 2015-2021 about the integration of Azov into the Ukrainian military structure, the rehabilitation of World War II collaborators, and the suppression of the Russian language. The people of the East are, in principle, just as entitled to wish to join Russia as western Ukraine is to join the EU.
