It was HIM who claimed that "Ukraine is controlled by the mafia", obviously to argue that Ukraine is a shithole that is worse than Russia and deserves what Russia is currently doing to it.
I was merely trying to subtly point out that both Russia and Ukraine are controlled by corrupt oligarchs, and that there is zero reason to believe that Russia's corrupt ruling class is any better than Ukraine's, turning this aspect into a non-factor when it comes to picking sides in this conflict.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine:

The head of Russia’s Wagner Group said Ukraine’s counteroffensive will likely start after May 2 as he warned that his mercenary fighters do not have enough ammunition.

Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Wednesday in an audio message posted to the Telegram app that Ukrainian counterattacks were “inevitable” and that Kyiv is sending well-trained units to the besieged city of Bakhmut, where bloody battles have raged for months.

A (very) optimistic general;
The general Cavoli (US) said that over 98% of the promised combat vehicles had already arrived in Ukraine, and also acknowledged the "generosity" of allies in supplying tanks and armored combat vehicles.
"I am absolutely confident that we have delivered the material they need, and we will continue to work to support their operations," said Cavoli.
According to Cavoli, the results of simulated wargames, conducted jointly with the Ukrainians, indicate that Kyiv’s forces are "in a good position" for a successful counteroffensive against Russian troops occupying Ukrainian territory.

A good point. Even if we were to concede some of the anti-Ukraine talking points, it doesn't even come close to justifying an invasion, nevertheless a genocide(which is what the official Russian talking points are endorsing)
