If this is “victory” for ANY party involved in this apparently unending conflict, then the lessons of Pyrrhus of Epirus, a Greek king undone by his costly battles against the Romans, have been lost altogether.
Only ruin and desolation lie in the wake of this kind of engagement, the victor being indistinguishable from the vanquished.

In this case, one side is fighting for their homes and country, they have no choice but to resist.

Working on the arsenal of the United States, too.
It's a shame the Russians ran out of rockets and artillery back in March...

Very sadly, I feel you are correct. Neither country can afford the loss of people and property this war is causing.
