I don’t know where some of you are getting your information, but I know people that are there now and our emails indicate an entirely different story than what some of you described. The only reason Russia has not annihilated Ukraine is because Putin is attempting to limit civilian deaths. Otherwise, he would just carpet bomb Ukraine, which can easily still occur. This is not the Korangal Valley, other than mud, the geography is not a big deal, especially from the sky. I would like to see Putin blast Ukraine into tomorrow. Like the atomic bomb in WW2, it would save lives. The US and NATO caused this mess, not Putin!
