Ultimately, President Putin is betting that when it comes to sanctions, Europe will blink first — pulling back on its support to Ukraine as Europeans grow angry over soaring energy costs at home. He announced a five-month ban on oil exports to countries that abide by the price cap, a move likely to make the pain more acute in Europe.
Russian troops have proven unable to conquer Ukraine's capital Kyiv or the second city of Kharkiv. Kherson, the sole major city seized by Russia, was abandoned amid a Ukrainian counteroffensive in November. Russian forces have shelled the city repeatedly since retreating.
It for sure hampered the economy in America as well.
Have you ever wondered about America you commies? DefundNPR
Live cameras kyiv Ukraine. Where again were hit. This shows no war
Hamper away!
Apparently you think speaking Russian will aid Ukraine in because they are really big on the worlds opinion of their prowess. Despite failing in Afghanistan (like the US), and more recently Georgia. At this point it is fair to say their thinking is already altered. no point.
Dangerous game to play right into the Super Wealthy plan to depopulation of the world.
Ya era tiempo
Indeed,Russia will end 2022 & in fact begin 2023 with a much lower standing in the global stage, that is truly sad, but Russia doesn't have to end 2023 with the same low rating, in fact if only Putin & his government would change course, end the war, Russia could restore & grow!
Propaganda: Ukraine is not winning. Russia will end this war once it takes more of Ukraine.
I don’t think is only Russia, look and see Europe, USA. 2022 was a horrible recession kickstart, proxy war with Russian won’t do it this time. Comedian ZelenskyWarCriminal is not going to deliver, half of population wont eat your hollywoodwarhero
THIS reporting is complete PROPAGANDA and I wonder if you can tell me how many journalists and news outlet heads got executed after ww2 for this exact behavior? Good Luck. I don’t think history is going to be kind to any of you!
Pointless. Ego driven. Not a genius. True strength requires empathy.
ستنهي روسيا عام 2022 في مكانة عالمية أضعف مما كانت عليه عندما بدأ العام. فاجأت صعوبة صراعها في أوكرانيا الكرملين ، وبدأت العقوبات_الدولية تعيق الاقتصاد_الروسي ، فيما نما الغزو إلى أكبر حرب برية في أوروبا منذ الحرب_العالمية_الثانية.
Being this is NPR the exact opposite is actually happening. It is 9:17pm and it is partly cloudy.
“Struggles” Russia invaded a sovereign country and is killing civilians ffs
Not stopping Putin from bombing the hell out of Ukr, though.
Or how about the 13 murders in Chicago this weekend. How are we doing there?
How about the border. How are we doing there
State fed propoganda. Nothing less
Along, with the EU and the U.S, also ending up weaker in global standing.The sanctions have hurt Russia. But, the boomerang effect has harmed the EU. The U.S, not as much.
Destroyed and be destroyed
Let them suffer for their bullshit ayo Down with Russia for attacking innocent people and a country that has their own standing, instead of being a part of the Russian country. Let's all stand with Ukraine 3
Good. Smother that country until it chokes.
💞🇺🇸🇺🇦💞
Truth is, the world is weaker. Economically destroyed. shame starting to hamper wasn’t the world….for the nato world it’s already hampered. Inflation, interest rates, recession.
Even countries friendliest to Russia, or who were that way, aren't showing it much respect. We thought we'd moved on from redrawing borders by force, we thought WW2 taught us how bad this was, and yet Russians brought the idea back. It's good that it's losing.
Good . Keep Russia that way
This war was decided years ago at the bilderberg meetings. Don’t kid yourself.
What do folks think about going full scale war against Russia now that their military resources have been further depleted?
Aka who the hell is still supporting Vlad's murders
It’s what west wants! Weak Russia and China!
Who isolated Russia? No Latin American country, no Middle Eastern country, no African country, no South Asian country, no South East Asian County. 🤷♂️🤣
Message : in Semirom is a real war going on . IRGQ forces are everywhere in city. Nobody can take a film or photo . Please help them. MahsaAmini
Propaganda. Since real news on the ground tells another story. 1. More Brics nations banded together to create digital dollars backed by securities (gold). 2. The petrodollar is being removed and backed by gold. 3. Ukraine military almost wiped out. Contrary to mainstream.
Okay good. Go Brady Go
I wonder how much Russian xenophobia stories like this creates against Russians living in the US 🤔 ('russian bot' etc)
Russia (BFF of China) is stronger than before, which is why USA is arming Ukrainians to be canon-fodder against Russia. Meanwhile, USA is really weaker. USA just got booted out of Afghanistan by a bunch of beards. And USA is rotting from inside. BLM, LGBT, Illegal Latinos.
Eh, not exactly
BUT, still 1 in window related deaths
Russia is building an alliance with China. If Zelensky doesn’t call for peace the world will again be at war.
This war continues to show nuclear power houses can't automatically win a war. If they decide to press the red button then everyone is fucked. The billions of dollars spent keeping up that technology could be used for the benefit of us all, but human nature is evil & egotistical.
Every month since they invaded, there’s an optimistic article like this or about military failures. But Russia keeps moving forward. I don’t think these articles are very accurate.
DON'T LET UP! Continue to overwhelmingly supply Ukraine with all the military armaments requested. GIVE UKRAINE ALL IT NEEDS! In the end, it's in democracy's interest TO arm Ukraine to the teeth & give them more than a fighting chance. DEFEATing PUTIN is a moral imperative!
Completely untrue. The hundreds of billions of dollars spent and Western media spewing disinformation in lockstep with the State department tells us otherwise.
It’s also made many people rich
Good article summarizing Putin’s actions - and failures - and the consequences in 2022. He’s certainly a pariah on the world stage. Notably, he’s even afraid to give any previously scheduled (& constitutionally required, btw) press conferences before the end of the year 1/2
Only a handful of countries have put sanctions on Russia 🙄
Propaganda
They have taken a backseat to China.
Ahhh, npr doing cia/state dept propaganda, again.... how come no reporting of EU's even worsening conditions? Nope, that is not 3 letter agencies' directive.
Tighten the sanctions even more.
Feb 27, 2022
- Lol if you believe that -
They expected it. Fighting the NWO is expensive 🫰 This is not news to them.
Good, nothing that Putin doesn't deserve!
Are Russians or Europeans going to freeze this winter?
😂
