    No, this is comically off-base. Ukrainian strongholds are falling one after another, and Pokrovsk is a matter of time. Russia still has a cohesive millitsry, and Ukraine is collapsing internally. Massive corruption scandals are even being reported on by Ukrainian news. Russia is steadily advancing, Ukraine is running out of conscripts and strongholds, I have no idea how you see this as Russia losing.

      Russia is not steadily advancing unless you consider a literal snail’s pace in exchange for 1000 russian soldiers a day? Even worse, Russian air defenses are crumbling, which you simply cannot fight a war without.

        Again, Ukrainian strongholds are falling like dominos and the Russian advance is increasing as of late as a consequence. Russia is steadily making real, material gains, and this is going on while the Banderites in charge in Kiev are shedding support as corruption scandals and years of war taking their toll. There is no option for Ukraine to win this war.
