Before the beginning of the conflict, separatists controlled around 40% of the territory of Luhansk. A map of the pre-conflict situation can be seen here (scroll to middle of article):

This is the time for Russia to declare victory and cease all offensive operations.

They’ve gained what they wanted.

Forcing Ukraine to attack instead of defend will make them see how senseless continued fighting will be, and we all can climb off the brink.

I think attacking Ukraine in the first place was wrong, but reality bites.

“The Ukrainian’s disorganized retreat from the city has played havoc with their ability to set up a coherent fallback defensive line. A VERY good explanation of this is contained at the following link.”

Hat tip to House Atreides. It is an EXCELLENT video.

““Ukrainian forces likely conducted a deliberate withdrawal from Lysychansk, resulting in the Russian seizure of the city on July 2,” analysts at the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, wrote in a briefing note.”

I wonder who this bunch in DC answers to?

So, Ukraine is still winning and only needs more time and more of our money (billions) and more of America suffering because of Biden’s proxy war and political dealings.
