r/worldnews was terrible for this earlier today. You'd think a big comeback is happening. In reality, not the case other than a feel good story for free upvotes and anything to increase moral.
In my eyes Ukraine is gone. Only a matter of time. At this point it's how much bloodshed has to happen. The monster is there, and there to stay.
Just had a video call with my wife. Non stop shooting could be heard and she was whispering the whole time. Because they live so close to the border, Russian soldiers keep coming across the border, through the forested areas and into their village. They are trying to make their way to Kharkov. After stumbling into the village, they see the highway which is a couple minutes to the east, and off they go. She said it has been a steady stream of tanks all day and people coming thru the woods. Russian soldiers have taken over the road, saying it's now the tank highway and if "you want to live", turn around.
Some people from her village actually tried to cross the border into Russia. The border guard took their phone numbers and said he would call them, but for now the border is closed other than tanks and Russian troops.
The look in her eyes...####. She can barely sleep, barely eat. Gunfire and yelling all around her. Would give anything to trade places with her.
