Russia started this war with an attempt to capture the entire country of Ukraine, not just a strip of territory along the edge.

Exactly. So it’s an absurd lie when complete clowns like Ian Welsh say Russia is winning/has won. That’d like if I enter a 500-meter race, go the first 100 meters, fall down, flail a bit, then stand up and declare victory for myself.

That’s not winning. Obviously. Why do so many people rely on dumbasses to tell them what to believe?
