LOL, if you say so.
You may have noticed Russia didn’t limit their operations to
those regions.
You had noticed that right?
Why do you guys make it so easy?
The Russian encirclement of Kiev brought Zelenski to the negotiating table with a serious offer that Russia was ready to accept.
If the psychopaths running the bankrupt West hadn't intervened, the war would have likely ended, Russia would have withdrawn to pre-Feb 24 positions and Ukraine would remain neutral.
Instead we'll have a protracted war in Europe, worldwide inflation, with growing economic distress, dysfunction and social unrest.
Good job neo-clowns...you'll be laughing out the other side of your mouth soon enough.
