  1. “Concerns mount that Russia will be given free rein to crush Kyiv”

    Ohhhh. Russia hasn’t been trying. That explains a lot.

    Could we please stop with this BS?

    1) Venezuela is half a world away relative to Russia

    2) Russia is trying (unsuccessfully) for 4 years to occupy it’s neighbor.

    3) Let’s say Russia would help Venezuela? How? Send some North Koreans?

    This is clearly Russian propaganda that is trying to make EU believe that Ukraine is a lost cause now and loosing is inevitable. So nothing new in the last 4 years.

    Sorry The Telegraph, but that was never a “secret” to begin with if you were paying attention at all

  4. How can the same publication that creates Ukraine: The Latest, publish shit like this?

    With Delcy R, Russian asset, being kept in place by the Trump regime, it does seem possible. Trump’s taking the oil and the Maduros, but not assisting democratic anti-communist Venezuelan opposition leaders. That may be part of a deal with Putin.

    The US stopped sending aid to Ukraine a year ago. Fortunately it has other friends.

    I think they are trying pretty hard already to crush Kyiv and in true Russian form are failing everyday

  8. lmao, as if Russia haven’t tried to crush Ukraine… for (checks notes)

    3 years, 10 months, and 17 days, or a total of 1,412 days…

    in that time, Russia’s war machine has been reduced to scrap and war stocks are depleted.
