• Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive into Russia’s Kursk region last Tuesday.
  • They have captured around 1,000 square kilometers of Russian land so far, Kyiv’s top general said.
  • That figure is almost as much territory as Russia has seized in Ukraine this year.

    What do you mean? Ukraine is not Russia. The corruption of Ukraine is from Putler placed politicians.

      No. Ukraine is just like Russia in everything but geography. Which means it has more densely and equally spread population, fewer fossil fuel resources, realistic logistics with Central Europe and Balkans.

      Corruption-wise it’s absolutely the same.

      EDIT: Downvotes? Has anyone here (other than myself) ever been in Russia and in Ukraine? Even in Western countries corruption is a problem, how do you think it is in post-Soviet countries the whole power in which at some point belonged to crooks with golden toilet seats?

        People either shills or in denial.

        Yermak and his cronies are setting up the new oligarchic elites for after they win the war.

        These clowns can’t help it.

        With that being said, US has ton of corruption too, but our peasants accept it as legal lol

      I think the point is no one really wants any country to have that much territory it just causes problems, especially when large parts of it are not really productive. It just results in a very large population and an enormous burden on the government.
