Zelensky admits Russia now holds one-fifth of Ukraine, the largest country entirely within Europe. What he didn’t acknowledge is that Russia controls Ukraine’s industrial heartland, 90% of its energy resources (including all of offshore oil), and its critical ports and shipping.
You wouldn’t know this by reading the US press. In recent days,
@washingtonpost
reported “the tide of war is clearly shifting against the aggressor,” while
@Forbes
proclaimed Russia is “losing the war.” Other media outlets have said it is running out of options to avoid defeat.

He should have negotiated with Putin.
