Latvia is currently accepting wounded soldiers in a special hospital in Jūrmala where they get prosthetics, treatments and therapy.

this news is why i don't believe Ukraine doesn't have big loss in Bakhmut as well. the meat grinder kill all.

Russia have far more people to draw and if this war keep going like the West want to bleed Russia dry. Ukraine will get bleed out as well.

Numbers is a quality. lets let Ukrainian dies off for our "freedom". since no one want a peace deal until Ukraine get all its lands back

Despite poor training and equipment, Russia always has the upper hand in the war. That's why Ukraine needs all the help the west can give to increase their chances in the war.

At the end of the day, it is up to Zelensky and Ukrainians to decide if it is worth fighting until they get Crimea back.

I feel like your saying the west is manipulating Ukraine. You might not be, just my perception.

Ukraine has decided to fight for it's sovereignty, and the west supports that because autocrats can't be allowed to invade neighbors.

Who is saying Ukraine doesn't have big losses? Of course they do. But they are forced to fight. We cannot allow rule of power. If Russia knows they can just invade whatever they want because the other side will give up from loss of lives, there will be no end to Russian aggression. And it wouldn't even stop with Russia.

It is essential to rule of law in the world that Ukraine is supported and that they do not give in. It is unfortunate that Russia's nuclear arsenal prevents more direct action.

The US is not lead by an autocrat, try again.

The US wrongly invaded Iraq with a global coalition. It was very wrong.

But we aren't discussing Iraq, so stay focused.

We, ukranians, are fighting for OUR freedom. Stop talking on our behalf, you russian bot. We want our lands back and all these "pacifists" who want peace deals that result with Russia annexing our territory can go fuck themselves.

Also, Iraq was led by a shitty dictator, who was hated by his own people. While USA's justification for invasion was wrong, Sadam was a piece of shit and deserved to get overthrown.

I never said that. I am just sick of American hypocrisy. It's like America condemning people for poor treatment of immigrants. Or Homosexuals. Or trans people. Or minorities.

I have many people I care about deeply who are Ukrainian and have been living through this asshole Putin's unprovoked, unnecessary genocide IN UKRAINE. They had the fucking Holodomor already, also caused by Russia (USSR). Enough is enough.

Путин хуйло

The civil war killed those people, which was roughly half a million give or take 100K or so. The Bush administration was still responsible because of their careless invasion, but it's more of a case of negligent homicide rather than murder. When the Iraq invasion happened it sparked one of the one of the biggest worldwide protests ever seen, except people didn't know that because it wasn't covered. But that was twenty years ago, there is little we can do about that now. Even if Bush and Cheney is brought to the Hague (which would be awesome if it did happen), it won't bring back any of the dead in Iraq or change the political situation there. What we can change is what is happening in Ukraine now, where Russia is actively murdering Ukrainians in the name of imperialism. Which is what this article is about before you derailed into US history as if it has any relevance.

America is not a single entity, and what you attributing to them isn't even a representative of the opinion of a majority of Americans (whom don't have equal democratic representation in the US government).

As I said in another comment here, the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq sparked one of the biggest protests in modern history and Bush would leave office as the least popular president since they started keeping track of public opinion. There is still a lot of injustice in the US, and everywhere you find it you also find Americans fighting against it as well.

We all have a couple of options here. We can make the Russian invasion of Ukraine about the US and it's ongoing fight against it's own injustices or just accept that Americans are highly valuable allies needed to help stop Russia in its tracks and talk about that, and leave the discussion of US politics to the politics subreddit.

Russia, and only Russia, are the ones bleeding Ukrainians dry. Russians are also going out of their way, by multiple time zones, to bleed themselves dry.

LoL, you say that Russia is not accountable for its' own invasion because the West manipulated them, but America's responsible for downstream things like sectarian violence, al-Assad's actions, and ISIS starting up 11 years after the invasion. Which one of the two is it?
