Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials who say its forces are advancing too slowly.

    It’s not supporting Russia to be critical of one-sided narratives or to call for peace for the sake of minimizing loss of life.

      So you’d want peace by Ukraine giving up its territory?

      How about peace talks that involve Russia giving back all Ukrainian lands (including Crimea) and pulling all troops out.

        Shouldn’t the people of Crimea get to decide whether they want to live under Kyiv’s rule?

          You mean the Russians that Russia settled there? Curious what you think about the Uighurs getting to break away a country from China.

            Crimea was annexed with zero shots fired. Maybe Ukraine should respect the voices of the people living in eastern ukraine.

        Why stop there, how about demanding Russia provide every Ukrainian with a talking unicorn buddy?

        I live in reality and when I say I want peace it means I believe in negotiating based on realistic expectations.

        The war was already going on before Russia sent troops in.

          Right, Ukraine was fighting corruption. Russia entered on the side of… corruption.

            “Fighting corruption” is an interesting way to describe sustained artillery bombardments of civilian targets.
