In the last three months, the pace of the Russian army's offensive in Ukraine has been falling. In February 2025, the Russian army managed to occupy 192 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory. This is 4 times less than in the peak period in autumn 2024.

The OSINT project DeepState, which monitors the situation on the front line, has drawn attention to the occupiers' loss of momentum.

According to OSINTers, the current pace of the Russian army has already equalled that of July 2024. At the same time, the Russians are taking very heavy casualties as they try to advance.

Don’t need to advance when the battle is being fought in the White House.

I fear for the future of western democracy.

It is not in the White House that people are dying. In fact, the White House is just going through 2 years of madness that will end at the half-term elections at latest.

Ukraine is ironically doing what Russia and North Korea set out to do, getting invaluable experience for their troops. Ukraine's soldiers keep leveling up while the opposition just keeps hitting new game. As long as they can be resupplied, Russia can be defeated.

I for one am hoping the EU follows through on building a European army, inviting Ukraine, and then curbstomping the bastards. It's not like Russia can say we're not allowed to bring in other help now, can they?

Future action heroes in movies and videogames will be Ukranian soldiers, not some American green beret or something. In fact, the future backstabbing coward turncoat characters will all be American, and our Ukranian hero will have to un-fuck the situation.
