Last week President Volodymyr Zelensky's voiced rare doubts concerning Bakhmut - as if preparing his people for news of a devastating defeat. And now, on Wednesday, the Financial Times is reporting the single most important development to come out of the conflict in a long time: Zelensky's office says he's ready to compromise on the future of the Crimean peninsula.

Bakhmut was Ukraine's Stalingrad. Zelensky put everything he had into keeping Bakhmut and failed. Ukraine is losing the war and wants a way out. Ukraine is a money pit. A waste of money.
@metal-brain saidHahaha exactly the opposite of reality well done

The Russians, spearheaded by Wagner have been pouring fresh meat into the mincer of Bakmut for months and still haven’t captured that strategical nothing burger.
As for Crimea I hope Ukraine is prepared to let it go in exchange for all the other territory Russia is occupying, including the land bridge to Crimea.

LOL!
Bakmut is on the verge of total Russian control. Zelensky already said if Ukraine loses Bakmut he will have to negotiate. His desire to give up Crimea makes it clear Bakmut will inevitably be lost to Russia.
The only Reason Biden is sending more weapons to Ukraine is to get a peace deal that saves face. Biden knows the jig is up. He offered Russia 20% of Ukraine in hopes of a peace deal a couple of months ago according to Newsweek. Burns and Biden's National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, "wanted to end the war quickly so they could focus on China,"

Looks like the military industrial complex runs our foreign policy. We are going to bounce from a proxy war with Russia to a proxy war with China. If we cannot win a war with Russia we will start another with China.

@metal-brain saidAll war is a waste, you simplistic asshat.

Curious, too, that you focus on the money, and not the lives lost on both sides. What a sad little man you are.
@soothfast saidNot as far as the military industrial complex is concerned. They profit from the waste.

As if you care about the lost lives. As long as it is just Ukrainians you are fine using them as cannon fodder.
@metal-brain saidWrong again.

You're always wrong. Entertainingly so.
@Metal-Brain
We? Ah, you mean you and PUTIN. We don't EVER take the word of an avowed communist who just DREAMS of destroying the US and installing a dictator which OF COURSE will have you just respond with yet another "US is not a democracy'.
I WISH I could find out where you live so I could personally turn you in to the FBI COMRADE.
You would never admit what we all know now, that Putin has lost 100 THOUSAND of his troops. Killing CITIES worth of his own citizens for a war that should never have been started.
@sonhouse saidI have no idea what you are talking about. When did I say "we"? You must be confusing me with someone else. Find the quote or stop lying.
