Hard to remove the Nazis when they use civilian buildings, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and similar structures during the fighting.
Nazis my arse.
That's a piss poor pathetic excuse if ever there was one.
Considering the same to similar problem Russia shares regarding neo-Nazi scum amongst their own rank and file.
See I'd believe it but unlike Ukrainians, each Russian soldier gets a proper screening and photos taken of their entire body and if such stuff is seen on them they are instantly rejected from serving.
Hence why I believe the Russians more than any Ukrainian information posted about neo-Nazis being in the Russian forces

So instead of fleeing to Georgia or getting a buddy to smash your leg with a 12lb hammer all you had to do was get a Nazi tattoo to get out of serving in this war?. Who knew.

Ah yes, Chechnya. Kadryovs personal khanate. The same place that fights with it's neighbour Ingushetia every year to be the poorest part of the Russian Federation. The same place that continues to be what it is due to money from Moscow. Who's oil and gas industry is controlled by Gazprom. It's a shame that they sent so many of their people to fight jihad abroad, they might have had a chance against Russia. Despite Kadryovs attempt to destroy the Chechen reputation as a fiercesome people, the Chechens are formidable fighters. TBH, if we had armed and backed the Chechens like we are the Ukrainians, the Russian Federation probably would have dissolved 10-15 years ago due to the global financial crisis. It made it through that global recession, I have my doubts it will make it through this one.

Russia doesn't want Ukraine.
Russia wants Ukraine to allow the regions on the border to become independent states, like those regions want.
Really because he has just declared 4 of them to be part of Russia forever, so there is that.

How the feck is 58,000 dead troops handling the situation???
The mind boggles at that sort of logic.
As to what Putin is doing in Ukraine.
Well retreating for the last week or so springs to mind.

A Nazi tat will get you sent to the private army sector.

This is the same excuse for u.s. drone strikes. We have no choice to fire back and kill near by civilians!
Yes, there is a choice. We didnt have to go there and occupy a country which caused more deaths and destruction than there ever would be.
And Russians didnt have to invade.
Stop making excuses for murder and war.

How much Russian koolaid are you drinking if you think this is all the west's fault.
There was no evidence that Russia would be invaded with NATOs backing. That would look aweful and no one but war mongers would support it.
You sound so much like those who blamed "terrorists" for Americas invasion of Iraq and the following casaulities.
Maybe i cant blame you for the propaganda you believe. Afterall, Russia has assasinated and silenced anti-putin critics. And with the massive propaganda campaigns and Putin-youth camps, i can see why youd become a victim of this Russian ideology that putin and friends can do no wrong.
Good luck over there and hopefully one day youll stop blaming everything on the west.

So Russians should have waited for Murika, NATO and good old Ukrainian Nazi boys to kick down its door and let 10s of millions of Russians die?
Sound strategic logic my friend!
Also 2 decades and 8 severe years of warnings is enough time for the world to stop and think "Hey maybe they are not joking and we should actually respect their sovereign right?"
