Ukraine. this was always part of the russian strategy. that is not a new factor to it. what happened was they got destroyed in northern ukraine in the northern part of ukraine certainly forth west of kyiv near geneva and sumi. they had lines of supplies cut off and logistics destroyed and pulled the forces out of the country. now they re going for a land grab on 20% of the country to take the entire eastern portion of that of ukraine and leveling mariupol, leveling kherson and wiping that place out and every other village with long range artillery. this is why the united states needs to provide heavy weapons to ukraine. russia has one advantage on the battle field and that is long range artillery. let me say something to the president of the united states.
