you just described the coalition of scum. if russia is weak and struggling, why can’t the ukrainian puppet forces stop them in donbas, or retake any territory?

russians fight illogically for oligarch concerns instead of military concerns.
blow up the damn bridges and stop allowing russia and russian citizens from being attacked.
