"The morons in Ukraine, who have been successfully recapturing territory from Russia, are just figuring this out after eight months of claiming that Russia was running out of missiles?" Fixed it.

They "recaptured" Kherson city because the Russians left and didn't feel like expending the resources to defend it. That was because it was west of the Dnieper River.

Ukraine has won a single confrontation with the Russian and can't possible do so because Russia owns the air space. You can't win a war when the other side controls the air. Duh!

Meanwhile, the Russians continue to clear out the Ukrainians from Donetsk and the electric grid in Ukraine is on the verge of total collapse. How do you win a war without a functioning electric grid.

You and your Russian hating, neocon buddies are gullible or lying morons, spreading the lies of the Biden regime.

Here's what you, apparently, consider to be the Ukrainians winning:

“They [left] us freezing,” he said. “Without electricity, without heating, without water.”

Power still comes on – sometimes – but it can no longer be relied upon. In a city with ubiquitous wifi and where most anything could be done online, rolling hours-long electricity cuts are the horrid new norm for many. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian strikes have damaged around half of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

In blacked-out Kyiv restaurants, diners feel their way through meals in near-darkness, served by waiters carrying candles. Residents wake in the dead of night – if that’s when it’s their turn to get a few hours of power again – to shower and do laundry.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for November 21, 2022

- Russian makes incremental gains in the Donbass region; - Ukraine’s power grid continues to degrade under Russian missile and drone strikes;
- Ukraine continues denying responsibility for missile strike in Poland;
- US claims NASAMS air defense systems performed at 100% effectiveness, provide no numbers or proof of this claim;
- There are not enough NASAMS arriving in Ukraine over the next several years to protect Ukraine from further Russian missile and drone salvos;
- Ukraine has more or less abandoned Kherson city;
- US DoD admits Ukraine cannot achieve its main objective of expelling Russia;
- Failure to achieve Ukraine’s objective while continuing to fight and lose men and equipment equates to demilitarization;
