All the death, destruction, killing children, causing pestilence... all for nothing
Precisely why Putin should just launch a couple Sarmats and end the misery once and for all. The west propping up Zydensky is just prolonging the inevitable and everyone knows it and acknowledges it, except the Supreme Comedian-In-Chief.
It could be because his army is so depleted from all the "professional" soldiers that Russia has killed so now he's calling on civilians to join the territory defense. Because of course this civilian army will undoubtedly win, for some reason, or no reason at all they're going to retake the fifth of Ukraine that Russia occupied, including Crimea. LOL!!!
At least FINALLY western media is acknowledging that ukraine is in a hopeless position and should therefore seek to negotiate with Putin, with territory if needed.

Well that's predictable, if I had a dollar for everytime Zydensky begged for something I'd be a billionaire.
To fill gaps in the frontline, Ukraine has resorted to deploying minimally trained volunteers of the Territorial Defense Force, which mobilized quickly as the war started. Hints of morale lapses have surfaced. One unit recorded a video protesting dire conditions. In interviews, soldiers said their artillery guns sometimes go quiet for lack of ammunition.These are the replacements that Zydensky things are going to somehow recapture all the territory they lost... LOL!
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense is not releasing combat casualty numbers to maintain morale, but experts believe it has lost at least 25,000 troops - up to 11,000 deaths and 18,000 wounded -since the February 24 invasion.So about 10k less dead than Russia... difference is, Ukraine can't replace them with anything better than untrained civilians who receive their rusty AK and 10 bullets only when they make it to the front. You forget this is Ukraine - there's no money for bullets for training. All of it went to build Zydensky and his cohorts' homes in the UK once they "evacuate"
ROFL!!!
The sanctions on Russia that are expected to cause a less than 7% contraction in GDP compare rather unfavorably to the 45-50% GDP collapse Ukraine is facing.
People talk about how sanctions are soooo bad for Russia... completely ignoring the fact that while the Russian ruble has totally rebounded, they're making more money than even before the war on gas and oil, whereas HALF of Ukraine's economy has been wiped out. The Hryvnia aka the Ukranian Shekel, hasn't recovered whatsoever and only further declining from being worth dog **** (.036 to USD before the war a year ago to .034 to USD along... a fraction of the .2 to USD back in the 2000's-2010. Everytime they have a maidan or some other BS their economy and currency only tanks further. I bet Soros made a killing shorting the Hryvnia.
