Putin announced two goals: demilitarization and denazification. If demilitarization is complete they will complete denazification by removing Russian Army from all the occupied territories of Ukraine. Another job well done, Putin!

I wonder if the irony is lost on them?

[-] Extra_Cucumber_2979@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Well, is this the beginning of “we have achieve the goals, bye”? Hope…

My guess is that they will declare the operation a success and end further advances, but without ceding the territory that they have won so far.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's not super clear to me how that works out. Ukraine has been pretty stable on, "All taken territory including Crimea back," so do we move to a world where Belgorod Bob assures the people that myths of Ukrainian advance are totally false daily?

[-] Vikthor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For all I care they can even hang a large "Mission Accomplished" banner from their ~~aircraft carrier~~ ~~heavy aircraft cruiser~~ scrap-heap Kuznetsov.

"In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with."

So they've used up the old soviet weapons and now using modern western weapons.

As for supplying weapons. America is happy to. We are trying to give away tanks like they are kittens!

[-] ElectronSoup@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

America doesn't 'give away' weapons, Ukraine will pay for them eventually, just like Israel, SK, Taiwan, and the rest always do.

Worth watching this for a couple minutes to get a better idea of how aid is being provided to Ukraine.

[-] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

And can we stop giving tanks to that tank-lady that lives in the apartment down the hall? She barely takes care of the ones she has.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They could argue is that they want to protect their IP or something. If that gives them a "win" so they leave then mission accomplished I say!

In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with.

What a strange definition for demilitarization lol.

[-] YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

It's so strange how they think they are demilitarising Ukraine when in reality they are actually demilitarising themselves

[-] Wander@yiffit.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm sorry but that's really really far from reality. What do they understand as demilitarization?

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, when you see totally barmy stuff like this from Russian media it's usually not particularly intended to convince people like you, it's meant for internal consumption.

[-] YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

And by "demilitarise." Do they mean they demilitarised themselves in Ukraine?

[-] trachemys@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Mission Accomplished comrades, time to go home!

[-] ME5SENGER_24@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

Kremlin: We have done a great job of removing all legacy equipment from the Ukrainian military

Kiev: All that old shit is in the trash and now we’ve got all this new fancy technology to shove up Putin’s ass. Bring it bitches

Kremlin: Er, ehm, that was the plan. But you cannot attack us, or it will be war. Hey NATO tell them they can’t attack us…please!

Kiev: Slava!

[-] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I wish Lemmy had an r/NonCredibleDefense equivalent.

[-] Osa-Eris-Xero512@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Be the change you want to see?

[-] stux@geddit.social 7 points 1 year ago

They rlly need to gtfo of Ukraine..

[-] SoutWind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Good, now they can go home.

[-] Pirately@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Congrats. So you can fuck off now, right?

[-] Extra_Cucumber_2979@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Well, is this the beginning of “we have achieve the goals, bye”? Hope…

Time for a photo op with Putin and a big "Миссия выполнена" banner in the background.

[-] SillyJester@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I hope this is the beginning of the end of the conflict. 🙏

[-] Balssh@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Man I know these types of sentences are for their brainwashed population, but it's so delusional

[-] null@zerobytes.monster 2 points 1 year ago

and now go home finally and demilitarize urself to another galaxy

[-] quortez@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

If they really believe that then they should fuck off out of Ukraine. But they don't really believe it.

[-] demonmariner@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

We should mail him a "mission accomplished" banner and a green screen backdrop of a battleship deck.

[-] little_hoarse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Are they blind?
