It must be all Western msm's propaganda parroting NATO's double-double backflipping-double agent Yvgheni Prihghozin lying about Russian soldiers running away and his Wagner PMC getting their asses killed (500 yestrday according to Prighozin's lies - right Kremlinton and Addict2losing? 
) by the weak Ukrainian puppets!
Look here! The Hindustan Times is saying that all is going good for Russia!
They say Russia "charges" at Ukrainian troops in trenches! Maybe it was lost in translation from the FSB Russian language communique being translated into Hindi?!?!?
And don;t miss the Pulitzer prize winning Hindustan Times reporting on the highest holy day in Russia, May 9,Victory LOSERS Day!

Now my friends Kremlinton and Addict2Putin will have you believe that the above 'reporting' relaying the Russian MOD press releases from the respected Hindustan Times is the truth. And that Preghozian's direct and seemingly earnest statements that the Russian soldiers are running away are not to be believed. No way this is a Russian orchestrated double fake out. Russia has fucked themselves. They are going to fail from within. Or as I said time and again, neuter themselves.
These fucking brutal cowardly people deserve the government and life they get and will get.

Eurovision declines Zelenskyy’s request to speak to multi-million audience
May 12, 2023
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been prevented from making a video appearance at the Eurovision pop contest, the European Broadcasting Union has announced, Telegraph reports. The EBU, an alliance of 112 member organizations that coordinates the annual event, expressed concerns that his speech might politicize the proceedings.
Zelenskyy, who intended to appeal to the global audience for continued support in Ukraine’s fight against Russian invaders, received word from the EBU that his request was against the established rules. The EBU spokesperson stated, “The Eurovision Song Contest is an international entertainment show and governed by strict rules and principles which have been established since its creation. As part of these, one of the cornerstones of the contest is the non-political nature of the event.”
Earlier, Zelenskyy expressed his respect for the UK, this year’s host nation, but mentioned his preference for the event to be held in a country neighboring Ukraine, such as Slovakia or Poland. This, he believes, would have allowed easier access for Ukrainian citizens.
In his conversation with the BBC, Zelensky said, “From the very start my opinion has been that if we can’t host Eurovision it should take place in one of the countries that share a border with us, such as Slovakia, Poland, or another country our people can reach easily.” He added, “The main thing is that the contest is taking place. Let the people show their talent.”
Despite Zelenskyy’s absence, the city of Liverpool, where the event is taking place, has been adorned with Ukrainian symbols and flags. The city is also hosting 3,000 people who have fled Ukraine due to the ongoing war, Telegraph reports.
Eurovision organizers acknowledged that they would have preferred Ukraine to host the event as the winners of last year’s contest, but due to unfortunate circumstances, this was not possible. They stated, “We’re delighted that the BBC agreed to host in Liverpool and are organizing an incredible event that will celebrate Ukraine and its rich music, heritage, culture and creativity.”
Ukraine was slated to host this year’s Eurovision after the Kalush Orchestra’s victory in 2022 in Turin. However, due to the Russian invasion, Ukraine’s national broadcaster, UAPBC, announced in October that they were unable to host the 67th edition due to safety concerns. Consequently, the contest was moved to the UK.

Is there a reason you think the President should be sitting in a foxhole doing soldier things instead of being off doing Presidential things? Leaders of nations are frequently traveling to give speeches and drum up support for treaties and agreements. Being at war doesn't change that his job is to lead the government, not plan military strategy or execute tactics.
The man's weapon is a microphone, not a rifle.
Nato failed to stop Russian rallys. Why am I reminded of Ned Flanders.
We did nothing and we are all out of ideas man.
Like they were trying to stop that glorious 1 T-34 parade.
As much as I want Ukraine to win, I support them resisting turning the Eurovision thing and many other things into political events.
His reference to the Hague kangaroo court tells me that if Zelenski was seen giving treats to a cat he would find a way to shit on it. Likewise Poutine could be found masturbating with a dead chicken and he would probably turn it into the action of the next Nelson, Ceasar or Chuck Norris.
Also, he is rather adept with the microphone.
Well I mean Churchill did rather well even though he was tanked up on the sauce pretty much all the time.
Well then I guess Churchill would have visited Nuremberg to arrange
for post-war trial of Nazi war criminals in the midst of the Battle
of Britain if it wasn't located in enemy territory. But I understand the
Winston Churchill of our time is living in the age of mass media.

Nuremberg wasn't a court until 20 November, 1945. The Battle of Britain ended 31 October, 1940. Are you suggesting that unless Churchill was able to time travel, he wasn't garnering support?
How about January, 1942 when Churchill visited the US to shore up support and laid a wreath at Mount Vernon? That doesn't count? How about when he visited Canada September 1944?

It's a far different situation. Russia is a second rate nation waging a large local war. The international community is collectively far more powerful than Russia and in a position to comment and place sanctions.
In 1940, Germany was arguably the most powerful country in the world and the rest of the world was running scared.
I watched the video because I found your summary to be surprising. Sure enough, the video paints a FAR less optimistic (closer to pessimistic) outlook on the reliability and feasibility of the tanks they are sending, and on their potential impact on the battlefield.
The US has always maintained that the Abraham tank isn't ideal in Ukrainian hands due to the fuel and the high maintenance required. Also, I had read somewhere that the models sent had modifications to keep certain technology and protective armor out of the hands of the Russians. The ideal tanks which have arrived I'm going to assume are the German Leopard 2 and the British Challenger. The huge game changer in my opinion is the British long-range Storm Shadow cruise missile now being delivered.
