The Russian commander of the “Vostok” Battalion fighting in southern Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine will not be defeated and suggested that Russia freeze the war along current frontlines.

Alexander Khodakovsky made the candid concession yesterday on his Telegram channel after Russian forces, including his own troops, were devastatingly defeated by Ukrainian marines earlier this week at Urozhaine in the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk regional border area.

“Can we bring down Ukraine militarily? Now and in the near future, no,” Khodakovsky, a former official of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, said yesterday.

“When I talk to myself about our destiny in this war, I mean that we will not crawl forward, like the [Ukrainians], turning everything into [destroyed] Bakhmuts in our path. And, I do not foresee the easy occupation of cities,” he said.

    Except I never made that claim. Is English not your first language? Your comprehension seems a bit below par and I don’t want to bully you out of the conversation if that’s the case. I could be less idiomatic if that would help?

      Not even a single link to a pogrom which was supported by someone who was supported by an American capitalist who is demonstrably in bed with the American government?

      Stop being a debate pervert.

        Is it against some rule of yours to ask for evidence?

              While I disagree, I can see where you’re coming from. Shouldn’t have called you that. Gonna do some introspection, since this entire federation thing and the influx of bad faith actors I didn’t encounter for three years, interaction with other users has made me pretty hostile. Sorry about that.

            Yep. They don’t prove the US is a queerphobic dictatorship. Not even close. I don’t know what more to say. Maybe you should open your mind a bit? There is some pretty good literature out there on the nature and inherent value of truth that might be illuminating for you.

            And one last thing. I’m not a liberal. Not everyone who you argue with is.
