NATO and Ukraine both deserve a lot of credit.And it's all thanks to NATO. Not Ukrainians, no, no, it is unthinkable, unfeasable to suggest that Ukraine managed to stand against them, endure the bombardment, face the crucial turning point and surpass it, push them back, destroying them in their thousands and reclaim region after region.
Nope, aaaall "NATO", apparently.
It's more a critique of Solovyov than a statement about involvement, mate.NATO and Ukraine both deserve a lot of credit.
NATO deserve some credit for the weapons, and the training, but Ukraine deserve the bulk of the credit for the sheer balls they have shown, especially in the early days when a complete collapse was not only possible, but looked likely, at that point they didn't have the weapons, or the training, but they held their end up.NATO and Ukraine both deserve a lot of credit.
Fully agree, a "mentally" weaker country would probably have collapsed at that time, Ukraine however stood firm and fought with what they had until they could be fully supplied by NATO. The pictures of that 40 KM convoy at the beginning was a worrying sight.NATO deserve some credit for the weapons, and the training, but Ukraine deserve the bulk of the credit for the sheer balls they have shown, especially in the early days when a complete collapse was not only possible, but looked likely, at that point they didn't have the weapons, or the training, but they held their end up.
Reaping the benefits of that now, and it's great to watch.
It was, but it immediately showed the idiocy of the russian army, take out the front, the back, then the middle of that convoy and the invasion was fucked.The pictures of that 40 KM convoy at the beginning was a worrying sight.

Mr Nonce.Who do you think he's kidding?
This made me laugh, the despondency on his face and in his voice is fantastic:
The way they’ve defended their country has been completely humbling.NATO deserve some credit for the weapons, and the training, but Ukraine deserve the bulk of the credit for the sheer balls they have shown, especially in the early days when a complete collapse was not only possible, but looked likely, at that point they didn't have the weapons, or the training, but they held their end up.
