"Occupied regions" also means the regions where he barely managed to occupy anything like Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. So he wants Ukraine to surrender two major oblasts along with their capitals. One of those cities he managed to occupy in the beginning only to promptly lose again.

barely managed to occupy anything
@GayRayniumDonGER is that peak first wolder iq ?
Counter offer; Russia withdraws from all of Ukraine including Crimea, pays war reparations for the damage they caused, brings Russian war criminals to justice and in few decades relationships with the world can be restored.
Now this is peak first wolder iq just like that genius putting cap on Russia oil price after all frick oligopoly MR=MC or frick even MC=P all peak first wolder iq like frau Ursula knows consumer can set any price anywhere. So here it's the typical “ Russia withdraws from all of Ukraine including Crimea” the frick will this even happen if khohols are literally losing and even 2 months didn't passed they asked for another 60 billions, so a losing side not only sets rules but also doing some peace talk without the side it's fighting like what homosexual shit is this ? Only Redditors can understand this.
He fully well knew they were not going to accept those terms.
Oh look a rare not full tard comment. Putin gave Ukraine a very nice offer and if khohols were smart they would had told yes and fricked all his plans but he knows they are r-slurs.
But most comments are of course
It's a three step solution: exit every inch of Ukraine, pay trillions in reparations, and turn Putin over to The Hague.
Yeah, those were obviously his pipe dream conditions for Ukrainian capitulation.
Yeah because for almost a year and 100's new billions Ukraine couldn't even capture anything.
Kitty Putin invaded them cause hes an idiot. The war is still going on cause of his bruised ego and tiny peepee
I have no arguments I throw me pms rage: peepee peepee peepee
The absurd conditions were basically getting back to the situation before feb 2022 invasion.
For homosexual sake, how come that condition got only worse, ain't Ukraine winning ?

Путин иди на хуй! !!!
Homo should go hold bakhmut I ain't paying taxes for him to shill on Reddit.
The question is, is Ukraine on the path to surrender? Cut a deal today or cut a deal with less in the future? Can they turn this around?
They already have. They demolished the Russian offensive in Kharkiv and they are making Crimea useless to Russia as the Russian economy begins to crumble.
Homo is making sense
Wooot the last successful battle Ukraine had was now almost 2 years ago and since then Russian battle strategy changed and non game changers managed to help Ukraine.
Also yes Russian economy getting destroyed
Redditors are awesome they wrote what they want to happen as facts that already happened
Ironically
Redditor conspiracy has better takes that mainstream Redditors.
When has the side losing a war not gotten a shit deal? Unless another country puts boots on the ground, Ukraine can only lose so many men. I wish it wasn't the case bc frick Russia, but I believe that's the tough reality.
True
Ukraine would be in a good spot if they could strike a strong blow/take a chunk of territory back, then sue for peace.
Suing for peace is an act by a warring party to initiate a peace process. "Suing for", in this older sense of the phrase, means "pleading or petitioning for". Suing for peace is usually initiated by the losing party in an attempt to stave off an unconditional surrender.
Its almost khohols had such moment in the past.
they're not losing the war, though?
They arent able to get that territory back without massive losses- so they've more or less been at a standstill for 2 years
Not being able to capture anything meaningful for 2 years and keep losing territory in war of attrition is not losing.
I'm not sure which sitrep you've been reviewing, but the major ones I've followed from the start show a slow but sure operational victory for Russia. This will be over soon if Ukraine cannot clear the sky. Rus sorties are pounding the front with glide bombs and they are firing much more accurately with artillery with a 2-3x higher volume. Rus recently made their tanks drone-proof and Ukraine is relying heavily on kamikaze drones to stop mechanized assaults. The manpower losses by Ukraine are too high. 30,000-40,000 men lost per month is not recoverable by arresting draft dodgers on the street. Some European countries are going to try and extradite Ukrainian men back to Ukraine but that process will be VERY messy and likely too late of an arrival to make a difference.
This is a war of attrition and it is unlikely that even if France joined Ukraine with boots on the ground that Russia's gains would slow. When Ukraine was winning tail end of 2022, there was a decent amount of highly trained troops making counter-offensive assaults. Most of those heroes have fallen and now there are less and less assaults. The war has turned into pure defense for Ukraine and that is not possible to sustain if they are unable to stop the softening blows from the mechanisms I already mentioned.
Example: Russia took Avdiivka on Feb 17th, but has already progressed to Umans'ke which is 15km northwest. 15km might not sound like alot, but the front is over 1000km long. These gains are steady across the entire front. Definitely not a standstill
Like for real you won't find such reasonable comment on regular Reddit
Yes, territory exchange has ground to a halt. Now think about manpower and who can outlast who. Ukraine is really short on manpower, they admit it themselves. They just don't have a large enough population to go toe to toe with Russia forever unless they get manpower outside their own country. I doubt it's gonna happen. We can send them all the money and weapons we want, but they need men to use them
Russia has been operating with forced conscripts trying to dodge the draft since the first few months- and their losses have basically wiped out what passes as "trained military".
The US experienced this in Vietnam- who werent being supplied by most of the world.
The 'forced conscripts', 'low quality' angle is propaganda. They are currently recruiting 30k soldiers a month. There's literally videos of Ukraine grabbing people and throwing them into vans, you think that's gonna get them quality motivated soldiers?
Thing is, Ukraine doesn't have a whole lot of room to bargain. Without Western support they would crumble immediately. However, any more aggressive military aid would result in a world war.
Yeah, they can keep the status quo, but there's no denying who suffers more from the current situation. Russia is the largest country in the world, they have the resources and manpower to sustain this war for years. Ukraine is taking heavy casualties on top of an already declining population dating back to the 90's.
A rational leader would admit defeat, settle for a truce, and give it his best in a negotiation. A proud leader will continue to let his men die in a war they have absolutely no chance of winning.
We live in strange times when conspirator cels making way more sense than mainstreamcels

Yes it's hilarious if you think Ukraine got 3 times more money than Soviet Union during WW2. Ukraine received minimum 500 tanks from the west and now 200 jets, 1000's artillery pieces. Like Ukraine has literally more artillery than all west European countries combined.

So your point that 60 countries that mog Russian economy by 30 times can't secure victory for Ukraine ?
Oh I forgot Afghanistan that west economy moged by 10000 times still lost to Afghanistan
So if your point was that Ukraine will lose in the end and it will be another L in western wars collection than yes I proved it.

Go back a few decades and the West was worried that, even if they all fully committed, they'd outright lose a war with Russia.
Now we're at the point where most former Russian allies are now Western allies, the West has by far the bigger population and an incomparably larger economy, Russia had to directly invade to maintain some control of fricking Ukraine right on its border, and Russiaboos have been reduced to crying about how unfair it is that the West is so much richer and more powerful and handing out so much weaponry.

1960 wasn't few decades ago. My parents weren't even born then. And by end of 1960 US already knew that Soviet Union wasn't that strong and by 1980 were sure about it.
Now we're at the point where most former western allies are now axis of evil allies, the West has by far the least population and an incomparably smaller economy.
You forgot just 2 days ago Saudi told they won't trade in dollar or how important China was back then ?
You obviously didn't knew that main reason Soviet Union has fallen apart was Saudi and China.
West was never this weak compared to other countries in the world.
Many European countries gave Ukraine 70% of all their weapons to Ukraine.
So reality is after Russia will be done with Ukraine it will easily capture Baltics and west wouldn't do shit because they burned their land gear in Ukraine.
So west instead of just letting Putin change the puppet in Ukraine west decided to show that western world order is strong and blown up this conflict in something a lot bigger into one that west was never going to win. Now if Ukraine lose that would mean western world order is dead and many wants it dead.

you should see how many S300/S400s they've lost recently, seems like a new one every couple days... that shit is insanely expensive
https://old.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1czed3k/strike_with_atacms_ballistic_missiles_on/
it's hilarious Turkey gave up F35s to use a system that can't even handle 1990s US ATACMS while Patriot shot down Russias 'hypersonic' missiles more than once. Turkey still doubled down on S400 in Feb. RU's defence industry can still bet on other countries being r-slurred enough to buy from them.

The Bomber Gap is another funny one.
Russians just spliced footage of a flight of bombers flying over Moscow which made the burger think the Russians had a shit ton of bombers.
So the Burgers built an godawful amount of B52s so they could actually carpet bomb the vast nothingness of Russia just in case.

just got done explaining in a thread about a week ago how Western military doctrine, basically air power vs artillery, was outdated and the Russians had the advantage over NATO right now.
Meanwhile, the vaunted Russian air defense can't stop ATACMS which follow a ballistic path, literally the easiest thing to track and intercept if your stuff is half as good as the Russians make it out to be. And somehow the Russians can stop US stealth aircraft and dedicated SEAD missions?

It's crazy how good the ATACMS seems to be at killing S400/S300. I'd always figured they were a little overhyped like a lot of Soviet and Russian kit but never imagined they were this bad.

Ofc ATACMS are good at killing S400/S300. Just find a S400 then start firing missiles at it and you bound to destroy it.

Believes in combat footage as absolute sources
Believes in 1990s US ATACMS.
ATACMS from 1990 had range of only 165km
ATACMS that Ukraine uses have 300km range and were made in Production commenced in 2017 with an initial order for 220.
US don't build a lot of those a year and then you make out an equality between s300/400 launcher to a system. Those launchers ain't that expensive for Russia to replace

While funny Russia has alone 2000 S300 and several hundreds S400 launchers. It's a drop in a bucket

They only have <50 S400 batteries, but point isn't that they will eliminate their AA, even if they destroyed all S300 thered still a thousand other SAMs.
The idea is mostly a) instilling a massive cost on Russia to keep the war going b) opening up short term holes in their defence where drones/missiles go through, to hit even more expensive/critical stuff like Navy ships, because they have to redeploy AA from other areas or stop protecting another key asset in the rear (like cities and oil fields) and c) making any war with NATO impossible for years
The frontline and Russia/Ukraine itself is fricking massive but aircraft will never operate near either front regardless
