Data from the latest Economist/YouGov poll finds that Americans have grown more pessimistic when it comes to Ukraine’s path to victory. This week's was the first survey since we began asking who is winning the war — about a month after it began — in which more Americans say that Russia is winning (25%) than say Ukraine is (19%). In recent weeks the share who say neither side is winning also has increased, to 38%.

It’s relatively easy for an occupier to take a major city. But taking it, and HOLDING it are entirely different things.
Hit and run gorilla warfare against whatever government they try to set up will be easy to pull up with a shoestring budget and low casualties.
Zelensky is on the verge of surrounding Moscow with green t-shirts!! I beleeve!! Ghost of Keeev!!! WOLVERINES!!! ROCKY! ROCKY!! ROCKY!!!
The Cokehead of Kiev is losing the propaganda war as well.
No one can know with any certainty with all the propaganda.
Where does this Soros propaganda come from?
Russia has demolished Ukraine as a unified political and geographic entity. They have driven out millions of the well functioning part of the population and put the economy back to the Dark Ages. And, unlike the US, they are not going to fix it. they are going to take the areas they want, and the natural resources they want and let the rest cede itsself as a servant nation state to the EU.
Unless of course Biden stumbles us into a nuclear war with Russia then all pets are off.
I still don’t believe anything I hear or read about much of anything, in the corrupt MSM.
I don’t do facebook but as I understand it, it’s trendy to sport a Ukrainian flag as a ridiculous, mindless virtue to signal.
For partisan warfare to exit you must have a hostile population. In that place Donbas, it seems most favor Russian forces and an underground war will not be possible. It depends on if the people believe they get a better shake from Putin than from Mr. Z. Banning Russian language is not a way to win hearts and minds for Russian Speakers. It would be like trying to ban Spanish in California.
I have noticed that it is almost all lefties flying Ukrainian flags outside their houses here.
Many of those displaying the Ukranian flag voted for Brandon. They're too stupid to understand that Russia never would have attacked Ukraine if Trump were sitting in the Oval Office. Mindless virtue signalling indeed.
The following are Facebook? They are “Russian disinformatiom”?

“Hit and run gorilla warfare against whatever government they try to set up will be easy to pull up with a shoestring budget and low casualties.”
“Gorilla war”, LOL. Don’t you think that Ukrainians themselves are going to deal with the possible insurgency if it is to take place? Worked just great in Donbas for 9 years.
😂That about sums up some of the posts on here.
I follow Defense Politics Asia. It’s just the facts on the ground, as far as the author can confirm.
Russia is making slow progress using massive artillery barrages, and the tactic is working. Reminiscent of the Eastern Front in WWII.
The Uke flag is the new “Black Lives Matter” sign which replaced the “Hate Has No Home Here” sign.
“Where does this Soros propaganda come from?”
