Wonderful gains. Everywhere.
European Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius said that Ukraine's recent advances targeting Russian maritime vessels and energy infrastructure is putting Kyiv in a position of strength — and should hopefully force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. "It's remarkable what Ukraine managed to achieve during the recent half a year with deep strikes," he said on the Europe Today programme.
It must be noted that Kubilius is an Exhibit A of what even trashy Russian rag Gazeta notes (while missing the main reason) by asking a legitimate question:
Why Western Europe keeps producing weak leaders. From Boris Johnson to Emmanuel Macron: why Western Europe’s political class appears less capable than previous generations.
The author also missed on proper title of why the combined West produces dumbfucks as leaders. But even in this form it will do. Meanwhile, Russians continue to do what Russians do:
Russian fighters reached the outskirts of Sloviansk and began to enter the city. This was told by the deputy commander of the 9th Engineer Regiment of the 25th Combined Arms Army of the West group with the call sign Gagarin. According to the officer, the main efforts of the Russian army are now aimed at hindering the movement of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and mining the roads. "We have already reached the outskirts of Sloviansk. There, the enemy prepared the roads, covered with nets," Gagarin explained.
You see, this is a Russian method of demonstrating "weakness" and getting ready, per this Lithuanian cretin from European Commission, to get themselves to "negotiating table". Or rather, signing of capitulation table.
