But, but American news media is telling me Ukraine is winning and kicking Russia’s ass day in, day out?
lol. Yeah, the “Ghost Of Kiev 2” will be flying over the parade in attack formation, I’m sure.
I’m not a fan of Putin. He’s not a good guy. But the conflict is what it is, not what people want it to be. That is, the facts on the ground are what they are at the moment.
Will Ukraine mount a strong counteroffensive in the future? I’m going to say “yes”, but that could be months away.
The longer the Russian troops are in the newly-occupied territories, the more entrenched they will become and the harder they will be to displace. Just as we saw when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
