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.

I was replying to an open and proud Nazi, I figured it would be obvious. I guess his comment got deleted tho. So I'll clarify: STALIN SHOULD HAVE KILLED MORE NAZIS AND NAZI COLLABORATORS. EVERYONE WHO WAS SAVED BY OPERATION PAPERCLIP SHOULD HAVE INSTEAD BEEN SHOVED INTO THE BARBARA PIT. WERNHER VON BRAUN SHOULD HAVE BEEN TORN APART BY RABID DOGS
