>>15227540Russia literally pulled out of Kiev, I’m not one to buy the war propaganda on both sides but the truth is that Ukraine is doing far better than anyone expected. The point isn’t for Ukraine to “win” the war as I’m sure even they know that is impossible. The goal is most likely to hold out long enough that Russia is willing to settle for a compromise or a seize fire. Russian victory depends on how much human life Putin is willing to throw at the problem.
