Russia will have Eastern Ukraine and a land bridge to Crimea, exactly as they set out to do initially.

And Poland will have the West. Ze is mulling a bill of privileges for Polish nationals, including the right to get elected.

“Russia will have Eastern Ukraine and a land bridge to Crimea, exactly as they set out to do initially.”

And how long do they keep it?

No one can ever explain how Putin wins this war. By the end of this year Ukraine will have 2 million men under arms. They will both outnumber and, thanks to the west, have better gear than the Russians.

I agree. This is what they want. The entire country is of no benefit.

Maybe and maybe not. What’s for sure is that it’s already cost them ten times what they thought it would.

And that’s a very, very good thing.
