He's a very low quality poster, best ignored.
The official view from Pentagon seems to be that Ukraine had more leverage militarily last winter, and should have pressed for peace talks then.... which seems to imply that that they're LOSING on the ground since then. Congrats to all who waved the Ukraine flag and invoked its people as they attacked and smeared diplomacy.

Of course the Admin is pressing on with fighting Russia until the last Ukrainian

Is this the type of media you prefer?

It is hard to imagine how Ukr can trust Putin after all of it.
But negotiation would be the aim to end this war in the favor of UKR? How else can this war end instead realistically unless Putin is dead?
Well they'll be hoping to force the Russians to retreat out of Ukraine fully. Whether it's realistic or even possible well time will tell but they want to try and so far they're gradually progressing towards that goal.
Its definitely going to take a lot of time, how long until mud season starts in southern Ukraine, 1 month or so?
British tanks Eddie, best in the worldThat's quite the vote of confidence.
There is a Challenger 3 project. But interestingly it wouldn't mean producing new tanks, but refurbishing the existing Challenger 2 fleet - key point would be replacing the gun, effectively taking this "sniper" ability away from it, by using the 120mm/L55A1 smoothbore gun. Which is the same (but modernized) gun the Leopard 2 and M1 Abrams use. This would effectively bring the British tank fleet to NATO standard and ease cooperation, but it also changes it's abilities a bit.They no longer make the Challenger 2 do they? Maybe they should restart production or is there another one in the works or something?

Depends on the version. It always has short range missiles as main weapons, but some variants additionally have autocannons.Is a Pantsir an automated cannon system then?
"We spit on Western sanctions."
"Let me speak. Otherwise, you will really hear what Russian Grad missiles are capable of."
"Morons" - preceded by an expletive.
In the newly published interview, the pilot also pushed back against Russian misinformation about the invasion of Ukraine.
“The truth is, there are no Nazis or fascists here. It’s a real disgrace what is happening here. Murder, tears, blood. People are simply killing each other. That’s all I can make of this and I don’t want to be a part of it,” he said.
That high-level cases of corruption are coming to light is positive, said Andrii Borovyk, director of Transparency International in Ukraine, rather than an indication of a nation bogged down by insider dealing; it shows that the country can fight the war and graft at the same time, he said.
“Scandals are good,” he said. “The war,” Mr. Borovyk added, “cannot be an excuse to stop fighting corruption.”
