Russia is loosing 2500 dead a day....
You and your brainwashed comrades don't comment on the official data about 450 000 dead Russian soldiers that came from a Russian source + tens of thousands more who died from wounds? I understand that you are deeply in Tsar Putler's ass, but if you looked at how Russians are dying in Ukraine, then those numbers wouldn't be strange to you at all.
He knows.. but why bother about others dying when he and his trollmates can be making money out of it.
Interesting negotiations happened in Abu Dhabi. Ruzzia sent there a guy that tried to kill the Ukranian delegation using boredom as weapon. Also they invented a new way of negotiation, in which the other side gives you everything you want under the promise of "maybe talking after".
Dark humour apart, there is no intention of closing the war. The major obstacle at this point has a name and it is Putin. A change of government in Ruzzia would enable a window of opportunity. Yep, a window is the solution (pun intended).
Putin is still pretending to live in Soviet Times, only recognising the US as "equal" and Trump is fully into this narrative. This is not happening by chance. Russia has assessed Trump as a narcissist and this personality profile is easy to manipulate - precisely because recognising him and only him as equal reinforces Trump self-image. The US delegation has basically two crooks as leaders, Europe is ignored - despite being clear that can and will finance the war as long as it takes...
The only way forward is a cease fire to allow for diplomacy, but that is not going to happen with Putin alive and Trump in the WH. Let's see which of these conditions changes first. Or better, let's see if both change.

“The reality is there’s no trust right now between the sides,” Donald Trump’s son-in-law and trusted envoy told POLITICO during a post-talks briefing. “There were some pretty tough discussions.”
The reality is that Ruzzia has sent a nobody to negotiate, whatever discussion were there are meaningless because the Ruzzian delegation has no power.
“We need to have the Europeans at the table,” Kushner said, answering a question from POLITICO at the briefing. “We have relayed to President Putin directly several times and to his team that the only way to get this done is to have them by our side, and I think they are receptive to it.”
Let's see what Trump thinks of this, after alienating Europe for the last two years with insults, tariff and the invasion of Greenland.
If Europe could identify one person to speak on their behalf, that would be a bigger achievement than getting the Russians to include them in the negotiation.”
Yes, and if rain fell upwards our noses would fill up quickly with it. This guy simply does not understand Europe.
But it does not matter, they probably want Europe in to put forward more unacceptable conditions, but this time to Europe... who knows... maybe giving Baviera to Ruzzia, demilitarising the baltic republics and expelling Sweeden from NATO? When you do not want peace, the only limit is your imagination.
So EU is not allowing Ukraine to end the war unless EU is present at the negotiations, but EU being EU can't even agree who should be representing them at said negotiations. We're not sure ourselves who should be representing us, but we want to be represented right now! Great plan, sorry Ukrainians that's the best that you have to deal with.
Putin is still alive and Trump will be in the WH for the next 2 years. But will Europe run out of Ukrainians or will ultra rights come in power in Europe first?
If the only thing you have left to hope for is for Putin to jump out of the window with Trump, then we must be getting close to a final resolution, real shame that they're pushing Ukrainians into a winter like this.
With replacements scarce, some troops have spent up to a year at the front with little opportunity for rotation, said Afer, the deputy commander of the Da Vinci Wolves battalion. His unit is operating at only about half its strength while its area of responsibility has doubled, he said, meaning the same number of forces must defend about twice the territory.
That's a UA battalion deputy commander directly saying that his unit is operating at only about half its strength, but i'm sure there's some European analysis about Russia loosing gazillion troops an hour, to counter this and make Ukrainians feel better.
