lol at Americans discussing Russia. I come from Bulgaria. We are in a hybrid war with Russia the past years and more. Our government is corrupted to the bones from Russian energy monopolists like Lukoil and Gazprom. In fact Bulgaria is a huge reason the invasion started. Our ex PM build pipe lines for Gazprom and basically that gave Putin the green light to attack Ukraine, as he was no longer dependant on North Stream. However Biden removing the sanctions for North Stream 2 was the final straw.
Anyway our people are now realising how toxic Russia is and there is a kind of uprising. Our last PM was the first European leader to say fuck off to Gazprom and then expell 70 Russian diplomats. Then he supplied Ukraine with ammunition in a critical moment of the war.
However you should ask Moldova about the hybrid war. Listen dear Americans. Russia is very good at disinformation, propaganda, corruption. You should not believe anything comming from Russia. They are toxic. They are a bunch of tataro-mongolians monarchy village people, who have no sanitation and would price their king and imperialism no matter what.
Lastly this was is over by the end of 2023. Russian army proved to be the 2nd strongest in … Ukraine. Once the Bradleys, Abrahams and Leopards enter the battlefield the rural parts of Kharkov, Krimea, Zaporozhie and Kherson will be an easy target for the Ukrainian army. There may be some battles for the urban areas in Lugansk and Donetsk and probably then a peace deal will be negotiated.
From a person comming from a country poisoned by Russia, I would like to say, thank you USA and EU for the support for Ukraine, because you are not helping Ukraine only. You are helping Poland, Germany, Moldova, Romania, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Litva and all other countries that were poisoned by Russian corruption.
If you are looking for legit information regarding Russia, the Bulgarian Hristo Grozev is the biggest expert on the field. His media Bellingcat has a lot to say. He played in the latest award winning CNN movie, Navalni. He is wanted by Kremlin for his investigating journalism. Putin calls him with different names - CIA, MI6, and he is probably better than most intelligence agencies in the world when it comes to Russia.
TVP World is a Polish media available in English on youtube, and they do a pretty good job providing easy to diggest information regarding the war.
