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.
Yes
By this time next year Ukraine will not have any coastline under their control.
I’m willing to take that bet. Just like Russia will take Kiev in 3 days. Just like Ukraine would be under Russian control in a matter of months. Just like many other Russian PR predictions, worthless.
…Those predictions were Western ones, not Russian ones.
So western lol
Oh damn I didn’t realize Belarus was Russia, this changes everything
Oh damn I didn’t realize Belarus was western, this changes everything.
Someone not involved in the operation and also not even from Russia doesn’t really matter, particularly not a shit talker like
that motherfucker says all kinds of crazy shit
Not involved? He let an invasion be lauched from his territory. That’s pretty damn involved.
My landlord doesn’t know shit about what I launch from his territory

They probably won’t have an 18-35 year old men under their control, either. I’m kind of surprised they can still find people willing to die for this bullshit.
There’s a reason why they’re kidnapping men off the streets and press-ganging them to fight for the Kiev regime. The slava ukraini epic marvel stuff is not making enough people volunteer to go die in a minefield.
I would bet you £10 (or dollar equivalent) that this will not happen, to be donated to a charity of the other’s choice, honestly. Absolutely no chance Russia takes Odessa and reaches the Romanian border.
What is it with liberals and making bets they absolutely will not honor? Two redditors already owe me donations because they predicted Russia would be pushed back over the Russian border within six months, back in mid-2022. You should donate to any charity you like instead of whatever weird shit this is.
I don’t have £10 spare right now I’m really struggling sorry, but I plan on having it in a year God Willing. I would’ve done it but the point is I am certain of it not coming to pass.
PS I am not a liberal, how dare you >:(
“let’s bet money on a conflict with bodies piling up” is not a sentiment I would expect from a leftist
I think that is a pretty clear misrepresentation. I was simply saying in a dramatic way that the notion of Russia occupying Odessa and the land all the way down to the Romanian border is outlandish.
Then say that next time rather than proposing a wager determined by the deaths and maiming of thousands?
Sure
