Ukraine! (Title too short or invalid)

🇺🇦❤🇺🇸 let us pray that you are right... those of us who are fighting for this outcome, fighting Europe's war, and the war of western liberal democracy, against statist tyranny, are ready to die in the cause. many have already made the ultimate sacrifice. we have the will to fight and to win. we need the means, the weapons that will enable us to turn the tide.

don't be fooled by optimistic reporting, maps that are too vague to show the destruction. day by day, metre by metre, body by body, we are losing this war. and we are losing the opportunity to turn it around.

Ukraine's war is existential, there is no peace but victory.

It’s just unsustainable for Russia. In less than four months they’ve lost more than half of US total loses in Vietnam over twenty years. Its very unlikely they can take the country, and unlikely they can even hold what they’ve already taken. And my favorite detail, Ukraine is apparently in the history books now for being the first country without an operational navy to ever sink an enemy flagship.

I'm pro Ukraine and hope I'm wrong but it's likely putin's gonna win most of what he wants short term and more later 😢

Not just Eastern Europe, but the world. The era of invading to acquire new territory must clearly be marked as over. Though I know the fault last largely with leadership and not the average Russian, we must see this large and powerful entity break itself upon the smaller scrappy underdog.

I will say we do need to stay vigilant. We need to continue and to strengthen our support. Yes, Russia has retreated from the North, but they have enhanced their grip on the south and have begun making gains.

This is not a fight won. It shall not be won unless Russia withdraws fully from the Ukraine. Honestly, my wish is to see Russia lose so bad it is forced to give up on Crimea as well.

Again, for the sake of the entire world this must not be seen as a valid way to acquire territory anymore. Because if it is, what might China reach for next? What if the US decided it was done playing kingmaker in countries it invaded and just started claiming them as territory again instead? How quickly would the world get divided between the superpowers of the day?

Definitely not what people thought would happen when it started

so... how can this conflict end ?

i dont think russia wil leave the occupied territories but i also dont think they can control them...
and at the same time i doubt ukraine would abandon them nor would theyas be able to recapture them.

so maybe a un controlled neutral zone in the donbass and in 2 years when things have cooled down have a un controlled vote where the inhabitants want to end up.

Get off the crack. You say Russia gains and Russia is losing in the same breath..

It’s hard to ascertain winners and losers by looking at these maps. I agree Russia had a terrible strategy heading into conflict and they failed. But they regrouped. Not sure what the goal even was. I do know Ukraine has been destroyed.

Closing that gap is big, but it’s a long line to maintain, and quite a salient in the north. Add the advantage of defense and you’ve got quite the stalemate.
