Stalemate.
The whole thing is a mess.
Now the question becomes, how would have Ukraine lasted if the US wasn’t running the show and providing information. I’d imagine Russia would have made more faster and more substantial gains.
Leaked documents are perceived as truthful until you realize the leak was itself a lie.
Anything leaked is BS with an !.
Don’t tell our resident Ukraine Propaganda Thread poster.
