The strange thing around here on FR is that it’s always “looking very good for the Ukrainians” and has been since the war/conflict/SMO started........
The difference over six months has been the nature of the “good”. At first its been just about the probability of national survival. The “good” has gradually changed. Now its about winning the war outright, without loss of territory.
The strange thing on FR since Feb is its always “Ukraine is finished, cauldrons smauldrons, its over,etc etc...”
