Russia can’t stop Ukraine from blowing up their weapons & oil infrastructure. So they blow up Ukrainian homes, playgrounds, cafes, hospitals, schools, museums, churches... Forget morals for a moment — do the math & tell me which side is winning. Now morals back on: Fuck Russia.

After making gains late last year, the Russian military has slowed to a crawl. In some parts of Ukraine, it has lost territory. At its average monthly rate of advance so far this year, it would take Russia more than three decades to seize full control of the Donbas. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/w...
