He isn't exactly losing. He's held onto the conquered land for over a year. A southern seaport for naval strength was the intention.

@Emjay He is exactly losing. He was supposed to be done with it in a week. His intentions are not rational enough to be a seaport and if that were the case he would have started and stopped there. He's getting his ass drilled by the Ukrainian Jon Stewart. Even if he wins now his economy has been crippled, he's been humiliated, he's lost.
