Three little words. Russia is winning.No."Both sides are losing" catcha. After years of saying otherwise.
Russia all has to do is defend territory gained during the war while Ukraine not getting Crimea or Donbass resorting to drone attacks on Russian cities.
I thought Russia had annexed territory now in the hands of Ukraine?
No it is not because Ukraine has failed in its counter offensive they launched drones into Russian terrigory but theg have not changed the frontlines. They remain under Russian control.
The sanctions are not working the EU is in recession. Russia is doing fine there is no overthrow of the Russian gvt, there was much talk about Russian aims to either take over all of Ukraine and expand into neighbouring NATO countries or end the violence the Azov Nazis were perpetrating against Russian speakers in Crimea and the Donbass.hold on a minute, was that you claiming that russia "only protected their land and people"? Where this "gains" rhetoric came from now?
either way, would you be so kind and list the factors which prove that the russia is winning? Is it control and stabilization on invaded and occupied land? Are those stunning military successes of the ru army? Maybe control over the Black Sea? Or lets go from another angle, is it the ROI of the ru side making it a success? You know the number of lost lives and equipment, lost international position, income, economy in shambles, sanctions, lost credibility, internal issues, recession. Please share you pint of view on why you claim russia is winning, I must be blinded with their success apparently and see nothing
Just technically, want to remind you that the "territorial gains" being under ru control right now are the effect of UA withdrawing from there in the first days of the three day operation.
According to the New York Times, Russia has lost 54% of the land it took at the start of their invasion. Or unsuccessfully absorbed as you might say.
