Ukraine food supply chain collapsing
A World Food Programme (WFP) official said on Friday that food supply chains in Ukraine were collapsing, with a portion of infrastructure destroyed and many grocery stores and warehouses now empty.
Jakob Kern, WFP emergency coordinator for the Ukraine crisis, also expressed concern about the situation in “encircled cities” such as Mariupol, saying supplies were running out and its convoys had not yet been able to enter the city.

The Russian forces performed incompletely, were decisively defeated at the battle of Kyiv, had to retreat to Belarus, and are reduced to shelling, raping, and terrorizing civilians.
^ This might have been the worst prediction in JPP history.

Russian forces capture several villages in push into eastern Ukraine
Ukrainian army driven out of Velyka Komyshuvakha and Zavody, while concern grows over Transnistria

Russia attacks infrastructure in western Ukraine to slow supply lines
Railways, fuel depots and bridges are being targeted to hinder delivery of weapons to Donbas
The aim of Russian attacks is likely to slow the rapidly expanding delivery of weapons from Nato allies to the eastern front, while also hindering exports of grain and other commodities that help Kyiv pay for the war. With the country’s Black Sea ports are closed to shipping, overland routes are even more vital.

Moon was obviously eagerly anticipating an easy Russian victory, with Ukraine submitting within a matter of days.
Which brings up an interesting point..... how are Ukraine and Afghanistan different? There are some obvious differences, but there are also many similarities. Why did the Afghan Army and leadership just roll over instead of fighting? Sorry for the digression, but this is one case where past was not prologue. If Zelensky had fled the country, I doubt we would be where we are today.
My sense is that Afghans were not willing to die for a hopelessly corrupt government. Afghanistan was led by criminals.
I suppose tribal loyalties are at least as important in multi-ethnic Afghanistan as national loyalty.
Ukrainians are fighting for something they believe in. Ukrainian sovereignty and independence. Those are potent ideas which penetrate deeply into the Ukrainian consciousness. Ukrainian identity and nationalism has been a potent force since the 19th century at least.
^^ Zalensky has tapped into that.
Yep, that's the obvious difference. Karzai couldn't run fast enough. And take the money with him. This was a miscalculation by the Biden Administration, but obviously our continued presence there was pointless.

Many Ukrainians are pro-Russian. Their elected pro-Russian president was removed by way of a US-led coup. The Neo-Nazi anti-Russian Ukrainians- which you support- then proceeded to shell those Ukrainians who objected to their democracy being spat upon. Nevertheless, they believed in their own democracy and independence and formed republics- the republics that the Russians purport to protect.
You don't appear to know a great deal about ' freedom and democracy', do you, you pious fool.

How much simpler and more humane it would have been. Still, Western arms dealers and Russophobes, such as yourself, thought that 6 million people displaced, infrastructure obliterated and hundreds of thousands of people dead was a better option.
In your own words- which you had the fucking effrontery to level at ME- you are a shameless wanker over corpses and destruction .
Perhaps you should now just stfu.

It wasn't instant, was it- but it's still ongoing.
Surely you are thus also advocating Palestinians just give up dreams of resistance and independence, and just submit to their fate under the better armed Israelis.
