“I would like to emphasise once again that our men and officers are fighting in Ukraine for Russia, for a peaceful life for the citizens of Donbass, and for the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine, so that no anti-Russia, which the West has been creating for years right on our border, can threaten us, including with nuclear weapons, as has recently become the case.”
The return of Ukraine in its entirety to the russian nation for one.
That’s what you claimed as one of Russia’s war goals. You can see the excerpt you quoted isn’t anything like that, right?
I’m not even trying to do some sick own or anything. You do see the difference between the stated aims and the propaganda circulating about “Russia wants to conquer the whole of Ukraine,” don’t you?
why should I give one shit about what russians goals where at the start of the war, the reality is its a meat grinder and the location of said meat grinder requires ukraine to move through it to advance, russia are setting the terms of this conflict and are in control.
I dont care about either sides goals because im not naive enough to buy into military propoganda, which the goals are.
During a war nothing either side says matters, you fatally misunderstand what happens to the media when a war breaks out, it just becomes another instrument of war, and as such nothing can be trusted but the satalite footage of where the war is and boots on the ground reports of people there, everything else is bullshit.
Ok please enlighten me on the winning condition for russia to end this conflict in their favour. No need for “military propoganda” just how does this end in your mind?
And what were those conditions Russia stated as its aims at the beginning of the war?
The return of Ukraine in its entirety to the russian nation for one.
That was never a stated (or likely even an unstated) goal of Russia.
Yes it was stated many times. The broadcasts should still be around if you want to check.
Should take you no time at all to source your claim, then.
Sure, would you like russian state media or a 3rd party?
Either
Did you get a reply? I’m also curious.
I did not.
Let’s see whatever you got

Why bother lying if you’re going to debunk your own lie?

Why have you gave one shit indeed, its not like that was the whole reason to invade or anything.
According to the stated russian objectives they have already lost this conflict, time will tell if Ukraine also looses.
