Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Lmao cope harder, tankie. Russia went from the “second best army in the world” to the 3rd best army operating openly in the Ukraine AO. Russia has proven themselves to be a joke, militarily - they went from being considered a superpower to being a peer-power of Ukraine. That’s a fucking HUGE step down in geopolitical clout and military credibility.

Again I think you need to do some research on this...

Or you know, Russia could just have not attacked in the first place.

Putin is the laughingstock of the world.

Is that why G20 decided not to sanction nor condemn Russia this week?

Maybe it's probably not necessary to kickass the "world's #2 strongest army" but knowing how to use your dick certainly doesn't hurt obviously.

I, for one, think it’s pretty fucking hilarious and incredible that the “world’s second best army” is getting curbstomped by a country led by a guy who played piano with his dick on TV.

You might need to check your sources about how the war is going... Russia hasn't committed its full army to this war.

not that I don't believe you, but do you have sources yourself? Lotta propaganda flying everywhere

And https://understandingwar.org/publications

Generally you want to look at the sources that the military use and not sources the media use to justify their positions.
