Russia is losing the war, said US President Donald Trump's special representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, APA reports.
"Trump asked me if Russia was winning the war. I told him Russia was not winning the war. If Putin had won, he would have been in Kiev. He would have been in Odessa, on the western bank of the Dnieper, and he would have changed the Ukrainian government. Russia is losing the war," Kellogg claimed.
The US President's special representative also spoke about nuclear weapons.
"This is not the Russia I knew during the Cold War, the Soviet Union. This is a different Russia. They talk big, but if I were Putin, I would be worried. Putin sometimes threatens to use nuclear weapons. The United States, Great Britain and France also have nuclear weapons. We discussed this in the Oval Office. They talked about the strength of the Russian army. I said that we will defeat the Russians. The Russian army is not as strong as Putin says. Therefore, the Ukrainian army should be praised. I think no one should be afraid of the Russian army. I don't think they have the potential to march on Berlin or anywhere else," Kellogg noted.

How can some Yook in Pennsylvania know what’s going on in YouCrayne?
Interesting point. Which is why the previous comment about my " longest, most useless wastes of time" is so very amusing.
When someone sources something to a single-family home in Perkasie, PA, while using it as a geopolitical "authority," the "it's on the internet, so it must be true" phenomenon is yet again verified.
Failing to achieve your goal after invading a neighbor could be described as a loss.
Ukraine? It is showing tweets from Routh on his x account.
What geopolitical “authority,”?
You didn’t post that Routh didn’t do those things, if you could show that they were untrue that would make sense, as it is, your post was the usual useless and meaningless stuff you post, and getting weirder.
Add the price of that netting to claims for war reparations…
Do you live in Pennsylvania?
Try reading post 56 to learn something about Routh.

Russia probably had maximal goals and minimal goals when the war started and probably still does.
I don’t care who wins this stupid war.
But I want the war to end so all the Ukranians in my neighborhood can go home again. They all speak Russian and I don’t. would love to have neighbors that speak ENGLISH.

You are being your usual child like weirdo, and obviously not able to figure out simple things.
