You're repeating the narrative of the Biden regime that is devoid of reality and truth.

I have no idea why any conservative would believe anything coming from this administration.

Think about it -- Russia has total control over the air and Black Sea. If the Russians wanted to, they could wipe any city in Ukraine in a "shock and awe" campaign like we've done many times. There isn't a thing Ukraine could do to stop that if Russia went that route.

The Russians will control all of Donbass and, probably, the entire coastline by the time this all done.

“You’re repeating the narrative of the Biden regime that is devoid of reality and truth.”

A fraudulent placed Biden Puppet regime which ALSO benefited from known Russian/Chinese/Iranian axis penetration and manipulation of the 2020 US election —

You must and will deny this of course...

The don't have total control of the air, as the list of Russian aircraft shot down attests. They have almost no precision weapons or aircraft equipped to use them, so they have to go in low and slow and get whacked by MANPADs or Ukrainian air defense. They have to be afraid of bringing ships too close to shore or they'll get whacked like Moskva.

The Russians are not nearly is as good a position as you suggest. They may control the Donbas and southern coast as you suggest, but so far in 10 days of heavy fighting they have advanced only a few kilometers. Most of what they captured was a pocket in Luhansk east of Izyum not heavily defended. Now they are facing a defense in depth.
