What a ludicrous statement!
First, Russia is not fighting Ukraine. Russia is fighting the whole of the US and Europe (David & Goliath) -- and winning while doing it. And they just stopped the "mother of all counter-offensives" dead in its tracks which was designed to cut off the land bridge and take Crimea in a march to the sea. Now, that's really winning.
By the way, they destroyed 20% of the billions of equipment the Ukes begged for in the process. That is billions of our tax dollars.
Second, they control over 20% of the former Uke territory. That's what winning looks like. It's irrelevant whether they win with museum tanks or the hottest and latest version just off the assembly line. Winning is winning.
“First, Russia is not fighting Ukraine. Russia is fighting the whole of the US and Europe (David & Goliath)”
You need to let Comrade Supreme Leader Vladimir know that he declared war on NATO when he thought he was just going to rape and pillage Ukraine:
In an early morning address on state television, Putin said he had been left with no choice but to launch the operation, the scope of which was not immediately clear but appeared to go well beyond helping Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
“I have decided to conduct a special military operation,” said Putin, seated at a desk in the Kremlin next to a battery of telephones, with the Russian flag behind him.
“Its goal is to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide... for the last eight years. And for this we will strive for the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine.
“And to bring to court those who committed numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.”
