So, we come to a rather special anniversary today: as of today, Russia has been at war with Ukraine as long as it was with Nazi Germany in WWII. One thousand, four hundred and eighteen days. That means, as of tomorrow, this “Special Military Operation” to topple the government in Kyiv, and absorb Ukraine into the Russian Federation, will have lasted longer than the Great Patriotic War.

In the time it took Stalin’s forces to smash the Wehrmacht ad conquer Eastern Europe, Putin's Russia has barely overrun the Donbas region, ground to a bloody stalemate by a country roughly a quarter of its size.
Nice one Darth Putin.

It’s a tribute to the courage and tenacity of the Ukrainian people they’ve managed to keep back this murderous deluge for so long, and a lesson for the those tankie shitheads bleating on Twitter about Russian invincibility. It is tantalizing to think about what might have been had Ukraine’s alleged allies shown similar courage and tenacity instead of voting a Putin sycophant into power.  

Slava Ukraine!
