Ukraine Troops Trapped In Pokrovsk

[Deadstick]

Sorry Comrade:
The claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky bought a ranch for $79.5 million is false. This is another instance of a recurring disinformation campaign, often originating from pro-Russian sources, that falsely alleges Zelensky uses Western aid money to purchase luxury assets.
Fact-checking sources and news reports have debunked numerous similar claims about Zelensky purchasing multi-million dollar properties, including:

• A $20 million mansion in Florida (which was actually sold to other individuals for over $7 million).
• Two luxury yachts for $75 million (the yachts were still listed for sale).
• Properties in Italy, England, Crimea, and a hotel in Cyprus.

The figure "$79.5 million" appears in a genuine news article about a vast, nearly million-acre ranch in Wyoming that went on the market, but the article has no connection to Zelensky.
These false claims are part of a broader Russian propaganda effort aimed at discrediting Zelensky and discouraging Western allies from providing further aid to Ukraine. The Ukrainian President's Office has flatly denied such allegations, stating that all information regarding these luxury purchases is fake.

Zelensky is a unelected gangster simple as that.

It's believed there are over five thousand Ukrainian soldiers trapped in the Town with Russia forces in control of all roads in and out, if they had any sense they would surrender to save lives Russia has already said they would be treated ok.

A Ukrainian city, in the Ukraine, is about to be 'liberated' from the Ukrainians by foreign troops? Got it.

Propaganda is always simple.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Don't care, maybe when the Ukes and Orgs get tired they will go home.

Chicken Kiev

The Russians are home. The Ukraine has always been theirs.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Billions of your Dollars have been flushed down the bog supporting a corrupt gangster so you should care.

Planned Even Earlier by VP Bush and His CIA Buddies

Arming and training the Ewecronyans has been going on since 1991. Cold War II has cost us trillions by now.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

As long as it killed the bad guys, it was money well spent.

Heirguardsmen

The bad guys are the Chickenhawk warmongers. They're always protected from harm.

O, I didn't know this... O.K. then, Zelensku is cool.

No need to trust Zelensky's word, there is plenty of evidence he is honest and Russian trolls and bots, like you, are not.

It's in Nazi occupied Donbass but not for much longer.

Arming and training the Ewecronyans has been going on since 1991. Cold War II has cost us trillions by now.

It's been going on since just after the war when the CIA were arming former Bandera thugs and Ukrainian collaborators to carry out acts of terrorism against the Soviet Union.

It's in Nazi occupied Donbass but not for much longer.

It is far easier to compare Hitler to Putin than to Zelensky.

 

[JWBooth]

Easy. Inaccurate but easy.

A Ukrainian city, in the Ukraine, is about to be 'liberated' from the Ukrainians by foreign troops? Got it.

The city populated mostly by the ethnic Russians, in the territory of DPR (which is, officially, a territory of the Russian Federation), temporarily occupied by illegal Kievan regime, neo-nazi groups and foreign mercenaries, is about to be, yes, liberated by Russian troops.

Like, you know, significant part of english-speaking people of Texas or California, former Mexican territories, don't see American Army as "foreigners".

A honest politician? Especially Ukrainian politician? Are you kidding?

I'm not sure why anyone would believe that liar. Spreading Russian propaganda, Russian lies...

Tsk tsk tsk... Zelensky bought a ranch... He may as well have claimed that he bought a zoo!

I'm not sure why anyone would believe that liar. Spreading Russian propaganda, Russian lies...

On May 13, 2014, the British newspaper The Guardian reported: “In Ukraine, the US is dragging us towards war with Russia. Washington's role in Ukraine, and its backing for the regime's neo-Nazis, has huge implications for the rest of the world...”
Once upon a time, the British press had its own voice and the freedom to speak the truth. Now everything is different.

As a Russian I don't think you would know what an honest politician looks like.

While both Ukraine and Russia have significant corruption issues, recent developments indicate different approaches to fighting it. Ukraine has established anti-corruption agencies and continues to face pressure to reform, while Russia is seeing corruption cases emerge in regions bordering Ukraine, sometimes used to manage public anger over battlefield failures. Overall, many experts argue that fighting corruption is a vital part of Ukraine's struggle against Russia, and Ukraine has made strides in its anti-corruption infrastructure.

Ukraine

• Structural reforms: Ukraine has created anti-corruption agencies like the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and established a High Anti-Corruption Court, with international support.
• Ongoing challenges: Despite progress, corruption remains a major issue, and there have been concerns about attempts to undermine anti-corruption institutions. Public protests have occurred in response to potential backsliding on reforms.
• High-profile cases: The country has seen some high-profile arrests, such as the head of the Supreme Court and an intelligence service officer, indicating ongoing efforts to combat corruption at higher levels.

Russia

• Weaponizing corruption: Russia has been accused of using corruption as a propaganda tool, attempting to portray Ukraine as uniquely corrupt while its own officials engage in massive corruption, according to The Global Anticorruption Blog.
• Internal corruption issues: There are reports of large-scale corruption within the Russian military and government, including officials in border regions accused of embezzling funds for border fortifications.
• Suppression of anti-corruption efforts: Officials who have raised concerns about corruption within Russia have reportedly faced elimination, says The Times.

Comparison

• Progress vs. stagnation: Ukraine has been actively building and reforming its anti-corruption framework, even as it fights a war, whereas Russia has shown signs of increasing secrecy and repression regarding corruption within its own borders.
• International standing: Despite its ongoing efforts, Ukraine is still viewed by some as corrupt, a perception that Russia has used to its advantage. However, sources like The Wilson Center and the Atlantic Council suggest that Russia is significantly more corrupt and that Ukraine's anti-corruption infrastructure is a key part of its defense against Russian aggression

A knowledge of history is more useful. How many countries has Ukraine invaded?
