    Here is current polling on Uke citizens will to fight. It has been consistent all along.



    “88% of Ukrainians believe in Ukraine's victory. Of these, 63% absolutely believe in victory and 25% believe in it as quite likely. 5% do not believe a victory is possible. By regions: 89% in central Ukraine, 92% in the west, 86% in the east, and 82% in the south. Further:”


    Towards the west, Russia targets its disinformation campaigns at a very wide variety of people. To the far left, Russia tries to present itself as being the victim of NATO Nazis, as fighting against Ukrainian fascists, as being an ally of the global south, about how NATO is an extension of Nazi Germany, how Ukraine is filled with Nazis, how modern Ukraine is the state of Bandera, and how Russia is an ally against Western colonialism. On the flipside, Russia tries to portray itself to the far right as being the last bastion of conservative/Christian values, an opponent of globalization, an enemy of the Western left, etc. Some here absolutely did get conned by that bullshit. It's also funny (in a depressing sense) that some here lack the self-introspective capabilities to recognize that THEIR stances on Ukraine align perfectly with the far left's. The talking points about the military industrial complex, NATO expansion, Nazis, targeting Russian speakers, etc. perfectly mirror the far left's arguments.


    They do these things at the same time that their internal media continually tells their people that UA isn't a real country, there is no Ukrainian language or culture and anyone who thinks so needs to be reeducated or wiped from existence and by the millions if needed. It should be no mystery why the Ukrainians have been so united to fight for their lives as they see the real Empirical Russia for what it is with looting of resources, murders and forced conscription to fight on the front lines for the men of the conquered territories.

    Interesting Magyar update: They will stop asking for money to buy fpv drones (not mavics though) for now, as the state (incl. Zelensky) promised 1 million drones in 2024, which means 80K each month. Also...they are "on the verge of eventually forming a separate UAV battalion under the marine cops command. It will allow to increase the number of pilot crews by 4-5 times."

    They will also prepare 600 drones with thermal imaging, for nighttime hunting...as russia is way ahead in that regard.

    Why is it there is no postings I can find from the Ukes and all of them are on known Russian propaganda channels? Is there a legit source or is this yet another Russian propaganda gambit for useful idiots in the west? I don't know either way since there does not seem to be any Uke sources but it sure looks like the regular Russian bullshit.

    I found it as a sidenote in an otherwise fairly interesting article comparing the current status to trench warfare in 1917 (nest pics)


    In 2023, WWI-Style Trench Warfare Came Back to Europe in Ukraine
    2023 started with Spring Counteroffensive optimism but ends with acknowledgement the conflict has devolved into static attrition warfare.
