Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.
-
Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

I don't understand what is going through their brains, surely even Putin is able to look at a map and go, that's a lot of bodies for very little land... I know what I'll do! Throw even MORE bodies to gain slightly more very little land!
It's like they've got ww2 still in their heads but instead of Nazi's invading Russia it's them invading Ukraine
Separately I can only hope the Chinese invasion of Taiwan goes the same way
It's my understanding that Russia needs Ukraine if it wants to hold on any hope for future prosperity, and it has unlimited fossil fuel resources to finance the war as long as necessary.
Additionally, Russia has a far greater capacity to eat casualties in comparison to Ukraine.
It looks a bit bleak unless Ukraine is fully backed by a collaboration of western powers, and, for a variety of bad reasons, the U.S. is fucking that up.
