The Russian commander of the “Vostok” Battalion fighting in southern Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine will not be defeated and suggested that Russia freeze the war along current frontlines.

Alexander Khodakovsky made the candid concession yesterday on his Telegram channel after Russian forces, including his own troops, were devastatingly defeated by Ukrainian marines earlier this week at Urozhaine in the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk regional border area.

“Can we bring down Ukraine militarily? Now and in the near future, no,” Khodakovsky, a former official of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, said yesterday.

“When I talk to myself about our destiny in this war, I mean that we will not crawl forward, like the [Ukrainians], turning everything into [destroyed] Bakhmuts in our path. And, I do not foresee the easy occupation of cities,” he said.

One very memorable thing about living in China was dealing with idiots who thought that your copy-pasted gibberish did anything at all to me. It's like y'all actually think you're god damn wizards with a magic spell that will get the seeseepee breathing down my neck lmao

Perhaps, and I know I sound like I'm the crazy one here, but just maybe, if you would put on your thinking cap and go out on a limb, you would realize that that's a string of text that

  1. I obviously didn't send
  2. Isn't even censored like that, the censorship doesn't happen on an individual level, it happens on a platform level, generally
  3. some of that stuff isn't even censored, y'all just made up a bunch of nonsense and repeated it to each other ad nauseam until all the "freethinkers" believed it lol

Winnie the Pooh? Very popular in China. Not banned. You can literally just go to baidu.com, search for Winnie the Pooh, and find that it's everywhere lol This is the caliber of the lies about China that y'all are on
