It is a smoking hole. Have you been watching the videos? The Ukrainians are being pounded into submission all along the front lines. There’s nothing left standing when the Russians finally move into a town or city. The last video I watched showed over a dozen dead Ukrainians left behind by their brothers in arms. It was sad to see that. Another recent video showed a squad of Ukrainian soldiers that was made up of mostly women. I don’t know how much of their military is made up of women but these were front line troops, not support troops operating in the rear
I predict that the war will end in 2025. Russia gets to hold on to the occupied territories of Ukraine but NATO troops will arrive in Kyiv to make sure that Zelensky government does not fall.
