Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry admits that Kiev's main problem now is not weapons, but a lack of people; no one wants to join the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and soon they will have no one to fight with.

"The problem now is not in weapons, but in people. No one wants to join the army. The brigades tell us that they cannot carry out rotation, that they are exhausted. Soon there will be no people to fight," the head of the mission that arrived from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in the village of Ulakly to inspect the units told the newspaper.

Let us recall that in these weeks in Ukraine they began a total mobilization, grabbing men at markets, concerts, clubs, etc., in order to stop the collapse of the front.

zelensky-pain not taking the istanbul deal will be remembered as a horrid historical mistake

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 11 points 2 hours ago

Tbf, zelensky has never been the one calling the shots. He's a comedian turned politician - he has no material base of support, he's never had the ability to meaningfully push back against ukrainian nationalist militias and the torrent of arms and soft support provided them by the west. If he had actually tried to execute the Istanbul Peace deal he would have been executed himself.

No doubt he's a comprador, but to imagine him as an actual decision maker on these matters dramatically over states his ability to act independently

They didn't have this problem until the brave Ryan Routh was taken captive by the US government in an attempt to stop his heroic efforts smh.

Fuck every single Western politician who thought fighting to the last Ukrainian was a good fucking idea. Total shitshow of a war, and it could still escalate into WW3.

Fuck those fuckers.
